Monument to the steam locomotive "FED"

The unique monument to the steam locomotive "FED" is located on Karl Marx Street and is dedicated to railway drivers. It was difficult for the pioneers not only to build tracks, but also to launch the first locomotives. The installed locomotive is a thank you to those drivers who dedicated their lives to the construction of the all-Union railway.

Foundation of the city of Vereshchagino

Events of the late 19th century changed life in the Perm region. The main one was the construction of the railway.

In 1894, the Ministry of Railways and Communications decided to build the Perm-Kotlas railway. The main purpose of its construction was to give Siberian grain cargoes access to the foreign market not only through the Baltic ports, but also the Northern Dvina (Arkhangelsk), and in addition to favor the development of the economy of the Urals. It was built with funds from the treasury and in a hurry.

According to the initial project, a route was provided consisting of nine distances: Perm - Shabunichi - Nytva - Ocher - Klenovka - Debesy - Balezino - Glazov - Vyatka - Kotlas. The control of the second distance was planned to be located in Ocher, where it was planned to build a large station, and in the area of ​​the local hospital - a station and depot. The construction managers of the second distance included: its chief - engineer A.R. Pletzer, process engineer I.F. Razmanit, engineer A.V. Stulapov, technicians L.M. Nikolaenko, E.V. Peshek and P.P. Esaulov.

The construction of the road, which began in 1895, employed a huge number of immigrant workers. According to an agreement with the contractor, they traveled from the villages of Vyatka, Perm, Kazan and Kaluga provinces. These were peasants - otkhodniks from the poor, i.e. those who did not engage in arable farming. Tempted, in their opinion, by a “good price,” they went to excavation work, preparing sleepers and other work.

In the area where the new station was being built, there was a treeless swampy hill between the neighboring villages of Verkhnee and Nizhneye Gubanovo. A little further away there was a third village - Sergeevka. The workers called this hill Bald Mountain.

The builders settled here in a “gypsy camp”, arriving on their horses, with their families and household belongings. They slept on carts or under them. During the day, men dug the earth, women took it to the indicated place, cooked food, and teenagers nursed infants. Life, work and working conditions were almost hard labor, and the pay was negligible. However, crop failures in the 90s and famine in the villages kept the peasants here.

Construction was completed four years after it began, and the first passage through the Ocherskaya station took place on January 1, 1899. A little over a month later, on February 8, the Kama Railway Bridge was opened to through traffic. The Perm - Kotlas railway was connected to the previously built Perm - Tyumen line, running from Perm to Yekaterinburg along the Gornozavodskaya branch. Thus, Siberia received another outlet to the central provinces of Russia.

However, the new road turned out to be technically imperfect, despite the large number of embankments and excavations. Soon after its commissioning, it was necessary to begin the reconstruction of some of the most difficult sections.

The railroad became a place of work for many local residents and a place of initiation for visiting engineers. The local museum houses exhibits that reflect the spirit of that time, and are still in use. These are telephone, telegraph, letter-printing apparatus, a locomotive speedometer, a Morse sound apparatus, signal lights, and railway traffic lights. All of them were donated to the museum by the honorary citizen of the city of Vereshchagino N.N. Prozorov.

The Ocherskaya station was opened on the railway; the station's railway station complex was built in 1913. Until 1916, the station managed to acquire the names Gubanovo (after the name of a nearby village), Lysaya Gora and Voznesenskaya (after the name of the volost). The station was renamed after a visit by battle painter Vasily Vereshchagin. Vasily Vasilyevich made a stop at the station on his way to the Far East for the Russo-Japanese War. He died in the Battle of Port Arthur as a result of an explosion on the battleship Petropavlovsk on March 31, 1904. In memory of the artist’s last journey, the railway station was named Vereshchagino. It was April 18, 1916. A bust of the great artist was installed near the station building.

Old

Despite the fact that there are abandoned enterprises dating back to Soviet times, in which the city seems frozen. We met an old Moskvich on the street. Judging by its appearance, it is still running.

There are old rides for kids on the playground. There are many old, but still solid and residential wooden houses. Also our attention was attracted by a small wooden well.

There is a small bench nearby. Perhaps local residents collect spring water here. No one was passing by, so there was no one to ask. A small bucket is carefully hung from above.

This ended our little excursion and we went back.

Story

According to archaeological research, the settlement of the Kama region by people began approximately 75 thousand years ago. Its first inhabitants - the ancient ancestors of the present-day Komi-Permyaks and Udmurts - settled in the northern part of the territories of the present Perm region, and the forested basin of our Lysva remained deserted for a long time.

According to the results of the first detailed census of all settlements carried out in the Kama region in 1579, in the territory of the current Vereshchaginsky district, the census workers did not indicate a single, any significant settlement. The main wave of population came after 1666. It was associated with the split of the Russian Orthodox Church and the brutal persecution of supporters of the old faith.

In 1701, Peter I, in addition to those already existing, granted the Stroganov barons vast expanses of land along the Obva, Inva, and Kose rivers. Then the territory of the future Vereshchaginsky district finally became part of the Stroganov estate. In 1759, the Stroganovs founded an iron-making plant in the Ocher River tract, and in 1819, the Pavlovsk sheet-rolling plant.

Huge forest areas (forest dachas) were assigned to the factories, where serfs prepared charcoal for metallurgical furnaces, and also cooked resin and tar.

Part of the territory of the future Vereshchaginsky district was also part of the forest dacha. The Strogoths sought to increase their wealth in every possible way, and the construction of dams for flour mills began on the Lysva River. With the construction of mills, new villages were founded. This is how the village of Novy Posad arose (in the old days, settlements were often called posads), and the village of Lysvenka, which stood upstream of the river, was called Stary Posad, and by this name it is known to us now. At the end of the 18th century, a large brick Orthodox church was built in Novy Posad. After which the village received the status of a village and a new name - Voznesenskoye.

Until 1924, the village of Voznesenskoye was the center of the large volost of the same name in the Okhansky district of the Perm province. The Voznesenskaya volost later included the Gubanovskaya land community, which later became the territory of the city of Vereshchagino. The neighbors of Voznesensky volost were Sepychevskaya, Putinskaya and Staro-Putinskaya (Denisovo) volosts.

As a result of the Zemstvo reform of 1864, provincial and district zemstvo assemblies and corresponding zemstvo councils were created, which became bodies of local self-government. Thus, the emergence in our time of the Zemsky District Assembly is a return to a well-forgotten old way of solving local problems.

Despite all the complexity of development, the zemstvo movement intensified by the end of the 80s of the 19th century. Among others, Zemstvo institutions were involved in the development of school affairs. In the Perm region during these years, schools were opened in Putino, Sepych, Voznesensky. School No. 1 in Vereshchagino

In 1894, the Ministry of Railways decided to build the Perm-Kotlas railway. According to the initial project, the route was planned to pass through Ocher, where it was planned to build a large station, train station and depot. However, the bureaucratic administration of the Ochersky plant showed no interest in the railway. Their reluctance to give up the lands of Count Stroganov for the road led to the fact that the highway from Perm after the Shabunichi station was directed north and went through “state lands.”

24 kilometers north of Ocher, the construction of a large station was planned, which, in accordance with the original project, was called Ocherskaya for some time (opened in 1899), named after the river. Wow.

In 1898, a wooden one-story station building was built here, and this date is considered to be the time of the founding of the future city of Vereshchagino. In 1902, the four-year construction of a typical locomotive depot for that time was completed (now the track machine repair plant is the largest enterprise in the region in terms of number of employees).

In 1904, the new station was renamed Voznesenskaya station after the volost center. In the same year, while traveling to the eastern front, the battle painter V.V. made an emergency stop here. Vereshchagin. On April 30, 1915, Voznesenskaya station was renamed Vereshchagino station in honor of the 10th anniversary of the death of the artist V.V. Vereshchagin (1842-1904). On January 1, 1924, as a result of administrative-territorial division, the Vereshchaginsky district was formed from the Voznesenskaya volost, which included 10 village councils, and the village of Vereshchagino became its regional center. At that time its area was 390 square meters. km, and the population is 10 thousand people. On June 19, 1942, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, the workers' settlement was given the status of a city.

The Western Gate of the Urals is the name of the Vereshchagino station, located in the south-eastern part of the region at the intersection of the Moscow-Vladivostok railway and the Siva-Bolshaya Sosnova inter-district highway.

Water resources

The importance of water bodies for the region is great and varied. Rivers and ponds adorn nature and are wonderful places for people to relax in summer and winter. The main river in the Perm region is the Kama, the left and largest tributary of the Volga River, which flows into the Caspian Sea. All rivers in the region are flat and have slightly high water levels. They calmly carry their waters into the Kama from the right, in contrast to the mountain rivers that flow into it from the left.

The rivers of the Vereshchaginsky district, like the Kama, have small average slopes: in the upper reaches 6 - 7 centimeters per 1 kilometer, in the lower reaches - somewhat less. The main ones are Lysva (length 77 km), its tributary Sepych (55 km) and Nytva (67 km), originating at the southern outskirts of the city .

The northern border of the region is touched by the Obva River. Its length is 247 km, and it is a source of drinking water supply and agricultural production in the neighboring regions - Sivinsky and Karagaysky.

Lysva River

has 25 tributaries. In addition to the main one, Sepych, these are Tarasovka, Baturovka, Evstifeevka, Poboische, Vozh, Khmelevka, Sosnovka, Igashor, Zarich, Lihanshor, Urak, Kamenka, Kuzyuva and other rivers and streams. Lysva is a calm, flat river. However, in the spring, due to the flood of its tributaries, as well as a large number of ravines and lairs, it makes noise, foams, destroys its right banks, and floods meadows for many kilometers.

The second largest river in the region, Sepych, has tributaries: Maly Sepych, Larionovka, Purga, Kulizhanovka, Baranovka and others.

The Vereshchaginsky district does not have natural lakes on its territory.

Minerals

In 1964, the Vereshchaginskoye oil field was discovered near the village of Belyaevka. According to experts, Vereshchaginskaya oil is of high quality; all brands of gasoline, bitumen and other distillation products can be produced from it. The Vereshchagin land has not yet fully revealed the secrets of its fossil riches.

Currently, the search for deposits of building and ceramic materials for the needs of local industry and for the construction of highways continues.

Among the natural resources of the region is the peat of lowland swamps, which is rightly called “second virgin soil.” In the floodplain of the Lysva River alone, there are more than ten such areas. With appropriate reclamation work, they can be turned into agricultural land or used for peat extraction.

It is estimated that only in the Postnikovsky swamp, peat development can be carried out on an area of ​​154 hectares. Its reserve here is approximately 2 million 900 thousand cubic meters. Experts believe that 1 million 900 thousand cubic meters of peat can be produced by the Likhansherskoye swamp, and 1 million cubic meters by the Voznesenskoye swamp.

The Vereshchaginsky land still stores a lot of wealth in its treasures and could serve for further search for oil, construction and ceramic clays, various types of limestone and other subsoil reserves.

The largest enterprise is the Vereshchaginsky Bread Products Plant joint-stock company. The next largest in terms of share can be considered the Vereshchaginsky plant Remputmash, producing 15 percent of the region's industrial output.

The largest agricultural enterprises are Galinskoye, Sepychevskoye, Pervomaiskoye, Agrozavolye, the Uralets state farm technical school, and the Vereshchaginsky breeding poultry breeding farm.
