Etymology

The city was named after the village of Kemerovo, which comes from the name of the first settlers Kemerovs, since the design on -ovo allows you to think about the toponymic transition through a personal name. The name is based on the Turkic word Kemer- “cliff, coast, cliff”. The modern name of the city is declined by cases.

Story

The first written mention of the settlement Komarovo / Kemi(e)rova is contained in the diary of D. G. Messerschmidt and is dated April 28, 1721: “On the 28th (Friday) we interrogated Lieutenant Eenberg that there should be a treasurer here ... who could give all kinds of information about all sorts of things [taking place] around; but it must be treated with good vodka. He also said…between Komarova and village Red, on the left side of the river, there must be coal." This documentary evidence combines the earliest mention of the original name of the place-settlement - "Komarova" - with the date of the mention itself, meaning the starting point of the historical chronology of the modern city of Kemerovo.

Kemerovo

The Kemerovo region is located in the southeast of Western Siberia and is located almost at an equal distance from the western and eastern borders of the Russian Federation. The Kemerovo region is located in temperate latitudes between 52°08" and 56°54" north latitude, and 84°33" and 89°28" east longitude. The region was formed within its present borders on January 26, 1943. The territory of the region is completely located in the sixth time zone. Distance to Moscow - 3482 km, time difference - +4 hours. In accordance with Federal Law No. 131 "On the General Principles of Organization of Local Self-Government", the administrative division of the Kemerovo Region as of January 1, 2008 is represented by 223 municipalities, of which:

urban districts - 16;

municipal districts - 18;

urban settlements - 22;

rural settlements - 167.

Administrative center - the city of Kemerovo (520.1 thousand inhabitants).

Area of ​​the territory of the Kemerovo region - 95.7 thousand sq. km, which is 4% of the territory of Western Siberia and 0.56% of the territory of Russia.

Administrative boundaries Kemerovo region land. In the north, it borders on the Tomsk region, in the east - on the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Republic of Khakassia. In the south, the borders with the Republic of Altai and the Altai Territory pass along the main ridges of Gornaya Shoria and the Salair Ridge, in the west - the borders with the Novosibirsk Region along the flat terrain. An important feature of the geographical location of the Kemerovo region is that it is located near the center of the Eurasian continent at the junction of Western and Eastern Siberia, and is far from the seas and oceans.

The Kuznetsk depression is the largest geomorphological structure of the Kemerovo region. Its area is 30 thousand square kilometers, and its length from north to south is more than 350 km and from west to east 100-120 km. The Kuznetsk Basin is located in the center of the region, surrounded by mountain ranges on three sides. From the east, on the right bank of the Tom River, the basin borders on the mountain ranges of the Kuznetsk Alatau, and from the south and west it closes with the massifs of the Mountain Shoria of the Salair Ridge. In general, the modern relief of the Kuznetsk Basin is a slightly hilly plain, rising 250-400 meters above sea level. In the north, the territory of the basin merges with the southern part of the West Siberian Lowland. The conditional border between them is the Sokurnitskaya hilly upland. The Kuznetsk Basin is a typical steppe and forest-steppe territory covered with fertile soils, and is currently the main agricultural zone of the region.

Kuznetsk Alatau is a large geomorphological region that limits the Kuznetsk basin from the east, occupying 1/3 of the territory of the Kemerovo region. This is an advanced massif of the Altai-Sayan fold system, elongated in the meridional direction, which has a complex asymmetric structure. Basically, the area has a mid-mountain relief with numerous ridges, the absolute heights of which reach 2100 meters. The highest peak - Amzas-Taskyl (Upper Tooth) - 2178 meters above sea level. The ridges are dissected by a dense network of tributaries of the Tom and Kiya rivers. Kuznetsk Alatau in the south merges with the uplands of Mountain Shoria, and in the north it gradually turns into gentle ridges and passes into the West Siberian lowland. Along the main ridge and some spurs of the Kuznetsk Alatau - eternal snowfields on the northern slopes, areas of mountain tundra and alpine vegetation, extensive dark coniferous and deciduous forests have been preserved. The area is very attractive for organizing summer and winter tourism, as well as sport hunting and fishing.

Mountain Shoria- This is a typical mid-mountain country in the south of the region with a predominance of gently dissected river valleys and streams of gentle watersheds, the bulk of which have heights not exceeding 1200 meters. Mountain Shoria in the region occupies 28.9 thousand square kilometers. The western and northwestern parts of Mountain Shoria are lower and, gradually through the Chumysh depression, they merge with the Salair ridge, thereby closing the territory of the region with a mountain semicircle. The mountain slopes are almost completely covered with coniferous forests with huge massifs of cedar plantations. Unique areas of the black taiga have been preserved here. The Mountain Shoria region, like the Kuznetsk Alatau, has significant recreational resources of international importance, due to the natural and climatic conditions in these territories.

Salair Ridge- enters the region by the eastern slope and is a hilly rather than mountainous system, very slightly standing out above the adjacent areas of the Kuznetsk basin. On the territory of the region, it occupies no more than 3-4 thousand square kilometers. Only some of its heights reach 500-600 meters. Like the Kuznetsk Alatau, the Salair Ridge loses height as it moves north and joins the West Siberian Lowland. The slopes of the hills are covered with coniferous forests and have significant recreational potential for organizing local tourism.

Climate Kemerovo region is sharply continental. Winters are cold and long, summers are short and warm. The average annual air temperature ranges from - 1.40С to + 1.00С. The average monthly temperature in January is from -180С to -22ºС, and in July from + 170С to + 22ºС. up to - 570С. The amount of precipitation is from 300 to 500 mm per year, in mountainous areas - up to 900 mm per year. Geomorphological and climatic features of the territory create prerequisites for the formation of favorable agro-climatic resources.

Kemerovo region. due to its location and natural resource potential, it has a very favorable economic and geographical position, namely:

In the north of the region there are railway and highways of federal importance, and the developed part of the territory is covered with a dense transport network;

Neighboring position with regions with highly developed industry (Krasnoyarsk Territory), agro-industrial complex (Altai Territory) and significant scientific potential (Tomsk, Novosibirsk);

High availability of natural resources and favorable natural conditions, allowing the development of a diversified economy;

A territorial-industrial complex created over many decades, with strong horizontal ties between enterprises in the main branches of specialization;

The formed economic specialization allows to take strong positions in the interregional and international division of labor.

The Kemerovo region is a region with a diversified national economy and a high concentration of raw materials and processing industries and, in terms of economic potential, is the largest territorial production complex of the Russian Federation. Small in territory, the region plays one of the leading roles in the economy of Siberia. The Kemerovo region is a well-developed industrial region, along with the Irkutsk region and the Krasnoyarsk Territory, it is one of the leaders in terms of the level of industrialization in the Siberian Federal District

Story

The Kemerovo region was formed by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of 01/26/43 "On the formation of the Kemerovo region as part of the RSFSR". However, the development of the natural resources of the Kuznetsk land began much earlier - at the beginning of the 17th century, when the cities of Tomsk (1604) and Kuznetsk (1618) were founded.

In 1698, Peter I, having learned about the silver ores found near the Kitat River, ordered the Tomsk governor "to assist with all diligence and zealous ore prospecting and ore-smelting business on the tributaries of the Kiya River." So the silver ores of Salair, iron ores in Mountain Shoria, gold in Kuznetsk Alatau were discovered.

In 1721, the Cossack son Mikhailo Volkov discovered a “burnt mountain” on the banks of the Tom River, becoming the discoverer of Kuznetsk coals.

The industrial development of the Kuznetsk land began at the end of the 18th century. The first interest in the development of Kuznetsk coal was shown by the Ural industrialist A.N. Demidov. Later, Demidov's Kolyvan-Voskresensky plants with the adjacent mineral resources became the property of the imperial family. Since that time, most of the Kuzbass, included in the Altai mining district, was under the jurisdiction of the Cabinet of His Imperial Majesty. There are industrial enterprises: Tomsk iron-making, Gavrilovsky and Guryev silver-smelting plants, Sukharinsky and Salairsky mountain mines. But since for a long time the industry of Russia developed mainly in the European part of the country, Kuzbass did not have a decent development and development. Only a century later, the Trans-Siberian Railway was built and Kuzbass received a boost in the industrial use of iron ores, non-ferrous metals, coal and wood.

After the October Revolution, Kuzbass became part of the West Siberian Territory, then - the Novosibirsk Region. At this time, an autonomous industrial colony of Kuzbass (AIK) was organized, headed by the Dutch engineer Rutgers. During these years, the construction of the coking plant was completed, the mines were equipped with advanced technology.

The revolution in the economy was marked by the transition to a planned economy. In the first plan of GOELRO, an important place is given to the creation of the Ural-Kuzbass industrial complex. Kuzbass is turning into a huge construction site. The coal industry continues to develop, the foundations of the metallurgical and chemical industries have been laid. Energy is developing. Industrialization is changing the face of the region. Working settlements grow up around the objects under construction, which very soon received the status of cities. On the eve of the Great Patriotic War, already half of the Kuzbass residents lived in the city.

During the war years, Kuzbass became the main supplier of coal and metal. From the steel smelted by the Kuznetsk metallurgists, 50,000 tanks and 45,000 aircraft were manufactured. This includes the production of toluene for explosives, gunpowder and other products necessary for the front. In 1941, the equipment of 71 enterprises was evacuated to Kuzbass from the occupied regions, most of which remained in Kuzbass. The war doubled the power of Kuzbass. In 1943, in an atmosphere of a radical change at the front, in order to increase coal mining, the production of metals and military products for the needs of the front at the enterprises of Kuzbass, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, by decree of January 26, decided to separate Kuzbass from the Novosibirsk Region and create territory of the Kemerovo region. The new region included 17.5% of the territory of the Novosibirsk region, 9 out of 12 cities of regional subordination, 17 out of 20 workers' settlements, 23 out of 75 districts. The population of the Kemerovo region amounted to 42% of the total population of the Novosibirsk region. The regional center was the city of Kemerovo. Since the formation of the Kemerovo region, many changes have taken place. New technologies are being introduced in industry, social facilities are being built, and the cultural level of the working people is growing. Kuzbass becomes the most inhabited and densely populated region of Western Siberia. The labor successes of the Kuzbass workers were twice awarded the Order of Lenin.

Currently, Kuzbass is one of the most dynamically developing regions of the Russian Federation.

The flora of the Kemerovo region

The Kemerovo region is small in area, but it is distinguished by the diversity of vegetation, the richness of plant communities and the beauty of individual representatives of the plant world.

More than half of the territory of our region is covered with taiga, and in the mountains the taiga has the name "black", and in the far north of the region, flat taiga grows. In the Kuznetsk basin and in the north-east of the region, steppe and forest-steppe vegetation is found. High in the mountains you can see the mountain tundra, which is very similar to the tundra of the northern regions of Russia, and high-mountain alpine meadows with bright herbaceous plants.

ANIMAL WORLD OF KUZBASS

However, recently the number of species introduced and acclimatized by man has been growing. For example - mink, muskrat and hare. Or self-settlers - such as the gray rat, hedgehog and wild boar. In addition, snow leopards and solongs occasionally wander from neighboring regions, various rodents and birds migrate.

Among the permanent residents, the largest are the bear and the elk. They live mainly in taiga areas. In the mountainous area, one can meet Siberian reindeer, Asian deer and musk deer. Their relative, the roe deer, prefers deciduous forests and forest-steppes.

Lynx and wolverine predators, although they live almost everywhere, are quite rare animals: only a few hundred individuals. But their smaller counterparts - fox, weasel, ermine, weasel are much more common. As well as other natives of the region, rodents and herbivores: hare, squirrel, chipmunk, shrews, moles.

Wolves, ferrets are found in the steppe and forest-steppe zones, ground squirrels, hamsters, marmots, voles and other animals live freely.

In the taiga zone, there are fewer songbirds than in deciduous forests, but there are commercial species: hazel grouse, capercaillie, black grouse. The nutcracker plays an important role in the distribution of cedar. Woodpeckers, nuthatches, tits, nightjars, orioles, jays, magpies and crossbills protect the forests. Partridge and quail are common in birch groves and forest-steppes. Geese, ducks, cranes, sandpipers nest along the banks of reservoirs. Great help in the fight against agricultural pests is provided by birds of prey: kestrel, owls, harrier, horse, saker falcons.

Eagle owl - the largest owl is rare and needs protection. As well as sable, otter, reindeer, common earflaps and about 80 other species of animals. For their protection and systematization in the region, the Red Book of Kuzbass has been created.

Until recently, the vast expanses of water of our region were famous for their riches of fish. And now in clean taiga and mountain rivers there are taimen, lenok, whitefish, dace, burbot, pike, chebak, ide and about 30 other species of fish.

The world of invertebrates and insects living on the territory of the Kemerovo region has thousands of species and is still insufficiently studied. Moreover, every year it is replenished with new species for the fauna of the region and even with species completely unknown to science. But this is what makes the unique nature of the Kuznetsk Territory interesting.

Distinctive features. Some areas of the Kemerovo region (but not all, of course) could be called Russian Switzerland. It is possible, if not for the striking difference in the standard of living of the inhabitants "there" and "here". And the rest - a lot of similarities: majestic mountains, green alpine meadows, amazing waterfalls, underground caves, transparent lakes ...

Of course, the nature of the Kemerovo region is worth visiting at least once. The most interesting protected natural areas. These are the Kuznetsky Alatau reserve and the Shorsky National Park, which has routes for hiking and horseback riding. In winter, protected areas turn into ski training centers. There is a large skiing center very close to the Shorsky Park.

But the truth is that only a small part of the region retains this alpine idyll. The Kemerovo region is a powerful industrial region, with the highest proportion of urban residents and the highest population density among all Siberian regions. It is an all-Russian center of coal mining and metallurgy with a long history.

The development of the Kemerovo region by Russian settlers began in 1618, when the Kuznetsk prison was founded to protect new lands from nomads from the south. The surviving remains of the Kuznetsk fortress remind of these times. But the development of these territories was really taken up under Peter I, who, having learned about the silver ores found here, ordered to send ore prospectors and ore melters here and assist them in every possible way. So soon the silver ores of Salair, iron ores in Gornaya Shoria and gold in Kuznetsk Alatau were discovered. And in 1721 coal was found here.

At first, private traders - merchants and industrialists, including the famous Demidovs, were engaged in the development of deposits. But then the emperor himself decided to control mining in the foothills of Altai, and numerous mines became the property of the imperial family.

Such is the history of Kuzbass - a region of miners and metallurgists, the development of which has stalled for a long time due to its great distance from the center. Seriously took up the Kuzbass already under Soviet rule. And during the Great Patriotic War, Kuzbass became one of the main suppliers of metal, working on the principle "Everything for the front, everything for victory!" 50,000 tanks and 45,000 aircraft were made from local steel. In 1943, Kuzbass was separated into a separate region, giving it the name "Kemerovo Region".

Today, the Kemerovo region, ruled by the permanent Aman Tuleev (since 1997!), is the most densely populated territory in Siberia. Population density - 29.5 people. per 1 sq. m. One third of the main production assets of Western Siberia is concentrated here. The metallurgical industry provides 44% of industrial production. Also, a very powerful fuel and energy and chemical complex has been created in Kuzbass. Mechanical engineering is also developing, as well as mining and mining production. And the ubiquitous Gazprom is implementing a program here to extract gas from coal seams.

Geographic location. The Kemerovo Region is located in the south of Western Siberia, in the basin of the Tom River. It borders on the Tomsk Region and the Krasnoyarsk Territory in the north, in the east - the Republic of Khakassia, in the south - on the Republic of Altai, in the west - on the Altai Territory and the Novosibirsk Region. The Kemerovo Region is part of the Siberian Federal District.

Most of the Kemerovo region is located in the Kuznetsk basin (hence the name - Kuzbass). The northern part of the region is flat, and from the west, south and east it is surrounded by the spurs of the Altai and Sayan Mountains. Due to the mountains in the region, there is a wide variety of natural zones, including the tundra. The rivers of the region belong to the Ob basin, and there are very few lakes. The largest is Lake Berchikul, on the banks of which a real gold rush raged at one time.

Population Kemerovo region - 2734137 people Of these, 85.77% are urban residents. Despite the large population, the region is gradually dying out. The average life expectancy is 65 years. The natural decline in the population is 1.4 people. per 1000 inhabitants. The share of employed in the economy is about 45%, and pensioners - 28.5%.

More than 100 peoples live in the region. 91.8% of the population of the Kemerovo region are Russians. 1.49% - Tatars, 0.84% ​​- Germans. Ukrainians make up only 0.8% of the region's population. The indigenous population - Shors - is represented by only 0.39% of the total population of the region.

Crime. The Kemerovo region is in 8th place in the ranking of regions in terms of the number of crimes committed (for six months - 11.84 crimes per 1000 people). In local crime reports, you can find announcements of past thefts, murders, arson, fraud, bribes. Although, if you don’t provoke fate yourself, walking around the most “doubtful” areas of the cities of Kuzbass, then you can feel quite safe.

Unemployment rate in the Kemerovo region - 7.05%. Yes, there is not enough work for everyone, despite the developed industry. Due to the economic crisis of the 90s, a number of enterprises were closed, and it is not so easy to get into those that are now working stably. The average salary in the region is 22.6 thousand rubles per month. In metallurgy, the salary is almost the same - 23.7 thousand rubles. The highest salaries are traditionally in the field of financial activities (40 thousand rubles / month) and in the field of extraction of fuel and energy minerals (36.4 thousand rubles)

Real estate value in the Kemerovo region varies widely. A one-room apartment is being sold here for both 1.2 million rubles and 1.8 million rubles. Moreover, this is not the highest figure; in some offers, prices reach up to 2.5 million rubles. and higher. One-bedroom apartments in are sold already within 2 - 3 million rubles.

Climate Kuzbass is continental, with long cold winters. The average temperature in January is −20°С, in July +18°С. Summer is mild and rainy. The amount of precipitation in the foothill areas and on the plains is 300 mm, but in the mountains it can reach 1000 mm per year.

Cities of the Kemerovo region

The capital of the region. In terms of population (540 thousand people), Kemerovo is slightly inferior to Novokuznetsk. And the city was founded later - in 1701. Kemerovo is the center of the coal and chemical industries. Accordingly, the air in Kemerovo is heavily polluted, although environmentalists believe that in recent years the situation has begun to change for the better.

The infrastructure of Kemerovo fully corresponds to the high "capital" status of the city. There are many cultural, scientific and educational institutions here. Kemerovo also boasts that the Kuznetsky Bridge, the widest in Siberia, was built here.

(549 thousand people) - the largest city in Kuzbass in terms of population. It is also the most ancient city in the region: back in 1618, here, on the Tom River, the Kuznetsk prison was founded. Novokuznetsk is a center of ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, coal industry. Unfortunately, all this has a very bad effect on the environmental situation, which is assessed as extremely unfavorable. Ferrous metallurgy plants, the Kuznetsk thermal power plant and vehicles poison the city air. Another problem is the huge amount of household waste that needs to be disposed of. Otherwise, it is a fairly developed city with excellent infrastructure.

Novokuznetsk. Construction of LCD New City

Prokopyevsk(population - 204.9 thousand people) - one of the oldest cities in the region. It was first mentioned in 1650 as the village of Monastyrskoye. Now it is a city of miners. Coal mining is the main occupation of the inhabitants of Prokopyevsk. The remaining productions are of an auxiliary nature. Of the minuses of the city, we note: a limited choice of work, polluted air, a high crime rate.

Mezhdurechensk(100 thousand people) - the center of a large agglomeration. Founded relatively recently - in 1946. As in many cities of Kuzbass, the main branch of the city's economy is coal mining. Working conditions here are difficult and dangerous: in 2012, a methane explosion occurred at one of the mines. The infrastructure is poorly developed, except for coal mining, there is still some food industry. Of the benefits - a lot of greenery, developed ski infrastructure.

Leninsk-Kuznetsky(100 thousand people) - a city in the center of the Kuznetsk basin. In 1763, a small village was founded on this site. At that time, they did not yet know that huge coal seams were nearby. And when they found out, at the end of the 19th century they began to massively build mines here. Since then, Leninsk-Kuznetsky has remained a city of miners. In 2008, the billionth ton of coal was mined at the Leninsky mine, in honor of which a monument was erected here. Due to the coal mined, as well as "thanks" to the thermal power plant that works on it, the air in the city is heavily polluted. The infrastructure is poorly developed.

The city is located in the southeast of Siberia, on the banks of the Tom River, and is the administrative center of the Kemerovo region. This is not only a major industrial and cultural hub of the eastern part of the country, but also one of the largest settlements in all of Western Siberia. At the moment, the city consists of 5 main districts: Central, Rudnichny, Zavodskoy, Kirovsky and Leninsky. There are also several residential areas: Industrial, Pioneer, Lesnaya Polyana, Kedrovka, Yagunovskiy.

The city of Kemerovo is located 3482 kilometers from Moscow in the center of the Kuznetsk basin, not far from the Kuznetsk coal basin. It is located on both sides of the Tom River, at the confluence of the river called Iskitim. Parts of the city on different sides of the river are interconnected by two road and one railway bridge.

The city is located in the Omsk time zone. The time difference between Kemerovo and the capital is currently 3 hours.

The climate in Kemerovo is sharply continental: cold and long winters give way to short, warm and humid summers. In winter, on average, the temperature drops to -20 degrees, in summer, in the warmest season, the thermometer shows up to 25 degrees of heat.

The emblem of Kemerovo is a shield divided into two fields of black and red. In the center is an image of a chemical retort covering a yellow gear and ears of corn. At the top of the coat of arms is the name of the city. Red here is courage, energy, strength. Black symbolizes coal - the main wealth of the region. Yellow is a symbol of justice and wealth.

The emblem of the city is the image of the monument to Mikhail Volkov, erected in 1968, on a triangular background of green and black. On the black part of the emblem, you can find a number with the date of the foundation of the city - 1918.

The flag of Kemerovo is red with a blue stripe on the left. In the center of the flag is the coat of arms of the city against the background of a green branch. The ratio of the length and width of the flag is 1:2. Red here symbolizes courage, strength and energy, blue - loyalty, honor and constancy, and green - hope, joy and abundance.

The number of passenger transport fleet is over 1200 units. There are 70 bus, 10 trolleybus, 5 tram and 14 international routes in Kemerovo. In order to improve safety, a radio navigation system is constantly operating in the city to manage the transportation of passengers. At the moment, 800 pieces of equipment are connected to it, including trams, trolleybuses, buses and fixed-route taxis.

Kemerovo is one of the few Russian cities that actively uses the cashless fare system. The system implies the presence of an electronic transport card when traveling in urban passenger transport. The fare in Kemerovo varies from 9 to 14 rubles. There are benefits for pensioners, and from May 1 to October 1, transportation for the elderly is completely free.

The city has an international airport.

As of January 1, 2010, the population of Kemerovo was 531,200 people. Over the past few years, the city has seen a positive trend in the birth rate: it increased by 18 percent with a decrease in mortality by 12.3 percent. The population growth due to migration is about 1000 people per year.

In total, about 3 million people live in the region, of which the majority (87 percent) live in cities. The main part of the population is Russian, there are also representatives of other Slavic peoples, as well as the peoples of Asia. The indigenous population of the region is Altaians - Shors and Teleuts.

On the territory of the city there is a large industrial complex, which includes about 70 enterprises related to the chemical, coal mining, engineering and energy industries. In 2010, after the financial crisis, there was a positive trend in the development of industrial enterprises, the flow of investments resumed, and the financial performance of enterprises improved.

The leading position in the region is occupied by the manufacturing industry. Mining, in particular, the extraction of fuel and energy minerals, has firmly taken the second place.

About one third of the production assets of the entire west of Siberia is located on the territory of Kemerovo and the region. The richness of the region in minerals and the location in the immediate vicinity of the Kuznetsk coal mining basin explain the high concentration of coal mining and mining industries. Every year, about 1.5 million tons of harmful substances are emitted into the atmosphere, which is 60 percent of the total emissions of the Novosibirsk and Tomsk regions, together with the Altai Territory.

Hydrocarbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides predominate among the main pollutants. However, it is worth noting that the ecological situation in the city has improved significantly compared to the 20th century due to the collapse of the USSR and the accompanying decline in production.

There are more than 250 educational institutions in the city, including 160 preschool, 73 general education, 8 correctional, 17 additional education. There are also several universities in Kemerovo: Kemerovo State University, Kuzbass State Technical University and Kemerovo State University of Culture and Arts. Among other institutions, it is worth noting the Kemerovo Technological Institute of the Food Industry, the Kemerovo State Medical Academy, the Kemerovo Higher Military Command Signal School named after Marshal of the Signal Corps named after Peresypkin Ivan.

Given array? You will find answers to these and other exciting questions in our article. We will also consider the sights of the city of Kuzbass. Where is he? More on this later in the article.

Kuzbass is located between the medium-high highlands of the Kuznetsk mountain range and the Salair mountain range, located in the southern part of Western Siberia. Its official name is the Kuznetsk coal basin. The area is more than 95 thousand km².

Talking about where Kuzbass is located, I would like to say that its second name is the Kemerovo region, given that the main part of the coal basin belongs to it. The regional center of the region is the city of Kemerovo.

History of the Kemerovo region (Kuzbass)

Talking about where the Kuzbass basin is located, you need to remember its history. Representatives of the Turkic-speaking people (Shors), Siberian Tatars and Teleuts settled on the territory of the modern Kemerovo region several thousand years ago.

At that time, it became necessary to protect this region from external enemies, and at the beginning of the 17th century (in 1618) the Kuznetsk fortress was built. Around it, on the banks of the Tom River (a tributary of the Ob), the future city of Novokuznetsk grew.

Eighty years later, at a distance of 380 km from Kuznetsk, the city of Mariinsk appeared on the Kiya River. According to historical documents, these two cities are considered the oldest cities in the Kuzbass coal basin.

More than 300 years ago, the Emperor of the Russian Empire, Peter I, was informed that a connoisseur of mining, a serf peasant Mikhail Volkov, had discovered a coal deposit.

In 1821, Pyotr Chikhachev, an honorary member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, identified large deposits of coal in the Kemerovo region, which the scientist called the "Kuznetsk coal basin".

At the end of the 18th century, coal mining began. After some time, industrial metallurgical and silver-smelting enterprises were created.

The Ural industrialist Nikita Demidov, who created a whole network of metallurgical plants, became interested in the development of Kuznetsk coal. A big impetus in the development of the Kuznetsk basin was the construction in 1898 of the Trans-Siberian Railway (Trans-Siberian - the Great Siberian Way).

Where is the Kuzbass coal basin located? Its development

The revolutionary events in Russia suspended the activities of Kuzbass factories. But since 1920, restoration work began at all factories, which became state-owned enterprises.

During this period, schools, institutes, theaters were built in the cities, museums and many other cultural institutions were opened. In the period from 1931 to 1939, where Kuzbass is located, eight modern educational institutions for that time in the city were built.

Until 1942, the regional center was the city of Novokuznetsk. By decision of the government of the USSR, since 1943, on the territory where the city of Kuzbass is located, which used to be part of the Novosibirsk region, the Kemerovo region was created with the regional center Kemerovo.

Now there are 20 cities in the region. Where Kuzbass is located, there are 58 mines, coal and metallurgical plants and 36 open-pit coal mining enterprises (quarry method).

In addition, Kuzbass, where all conditions have been created to be the first in the Russian ranking in coal mining and fourth in steel production, has four universities, nine institutes and twenty colleges in various specialties.

In our time, Kemerovo and Novokuznetsk are considered major cities in terms of population and area. They are home to over a million indigenous people.

Kemerovo

On the banks of the rivers Bolshaya Kamyshnaya and Tom there is a regional center - Kemerovo - with an area of ​​280 km².

There was a Russian settlement on the territory of the future administrative center of Kuzbass.

Historical documents testify that it was formed from the junction of two small villages - Shcheglovo and Kemerovo. This happened in 1734.

The mining village has become popular among ski lovers and those who want to relax in the silence of untouched taiga nature.

Ecomuseum "Tazgol"

There is another attraction in the Tashtagol region - the open-air ecological museum "Tazgol". It is located in the village of Ust-Anzas.

The museum, created in 1992 by archaeologists together with ethnographers from Kemerovo University, is located on an area of ​​5 hectares. Here are collected monuments of culture and life of the population of the region of past centuries.

Kuznetsk fortress

On the territory of Novokuznetsk is the main attraction of the city - the Kuznetsk fortress. The fort was built in 1800 at the direction of the Russian Emperor Paul I. The bastion is a complex of buildings located on an area of ​​22 hectares.

The peculiarity of this structure lies in the fact that throughout its history the fortress did not take part in military events. After 70 years, the citadel was converted into a Kuznetsk prison.

Since 1917, the buildings of the fortress have been used for various city institutions. And after the last restoration, carried out on the eve of the 390th anniversary of the city, the fort is open to history buffs.

Lakes of Kuzbass. A photo

Where is Kuzbass located in Russia? This we have already found out. It should be noted that hundreds of lakes are located throughout the territory of the Kemerovo region, mainly floodplain reservoirs (which arose as a result of laying new channels by rivers).

Among guests and indigenous people of the region, Lake Bolshoy Berchikul (Tisulsky district) is considered the most popular for recreation.

There is a legend that says that so many nuggets of gold were found here that one of the gold miners exclaimed: “There is so much gold here that take a sack (bag) and collect it!” The merging of these words gave the name of the reservoir, which is considered the largest in terms of area in the region.

Bolshoy Berchikul, thanks to its unique natural landscape, is rightfully included in the list of "Seven Wonders of Kuzbass".

Conclusion

Now you know what Kuzbass is, where the region is located. We looked at the sights of this place. We hope that the article was interesting and informative for you.
