The settlement of the Yartsevo region began long before our era. The first settlements here were founded in the Neolithic era. The valleys of local lakes seemed to the Finno-Ugric tribes a great place to live. The Slavs appeared here in the 8th century, who, having mixed with the Baltic tribes, formed the union of the Krivichi.

When the Smolensk principality was formed, volost centers began to appear on the Yartsev lands, regularly paying tribute to Smolensk. The oldest of them are mentioned in the Charter of Prince Rostislav of Smolensky, written in 1136 - these are Votorovichi, Bortnitsy, Sverkovy Luki.

In the 15th century, the Yartsevo land, like the entire Smolensk region, became part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, which subjugated the ancient Smolensk principality.

Before the beginning of the Second World War, the clock was mechanical, but as a result of the battles that took place on the city streets, complex mechanism was seriously damaged, and now there is an electric clock. From the previous nodes there was only a gearbox that transmits movement to the arrows.

The total height of the tower is approximately equal to the height of a seven-story building, in addition, a viewpoint, which offers a beautiful view of the city arrays. Until the 1950s, this tower was the tallest building in Yartsevo.

Story

First mention

The starting point of the city's history is August 2, 1610. It was the Time of Troubles. After the overthrow of Vasily Shuisky, there was no Russian tsar. In 1610, the Polish king Sigismund granted the Smolensk nobleman Timofey Shusherin the village of Yartsovo. This letter of commendation is a confirmation of the first written mention of Yartsev. In 1779, Yartsevo (Yartsovo) is mentioned in the “Geometric plan of the Dukhovshchinsky district with all the city’s lying inside it, with state and owner’s lands, with indications in it of each village with the separation of city and special boundaries from others.” The village of Yartsovo then consisted of 17 households, with a population of 136 people.

Yartsevo at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries

Got famous with mid-nineteenth centuries as an industrial village in the Dukhovshchinsky district of the Smolensk province, in which the textile manufactory of the Khludovs was located. The city was given life by the merchant Alexei Khludov, who founded a textile factory here in 1873. He equipped it with the latest British equipment, the installation of which was carried out by numerous English specialists. At that time, even one of the streets was called Angliskaya. Khludov was the first of the Russian merchants to organize a commodity office in Britain in the city of Liverpool. In 1880, one of the largest strikes in Russia took place in Yartsevo (see Khludov strikes). In 1926 Yartsev was given the status of a city.

Years of the Great Patriotic War

During the Great Patriotic War German troops stayed here for 2 months. In 1941, on the banks of the Vop River, a fierce battle. The inhabitants of local villages were subjected to the atrocities of the Nazis. Many Yartsevites fought heroically on the fronts. Yartsevo was the first city recaptured from Germany. This happened on July 19, 1941 with the forces of the 19th Army - part of the forces of the 38th rifle division(Colonel Kirillov, Maxim Gavrilovich) and 44 rifle corps(division commander Yushkevich, Vasily Alexandrovich). Then it was captured again, passed from hand to hand, until it was finally occupied by the Germans on October 5, 1941. Released September 16, 1943. Parts of the 31st Army took part in the liberation In honor of the liberation of the city in Moscow, salute was given by 12 artillery salvoes from 124 guns. After the release of Yartsev from Nazi German invaders Only 4,000 people lived in the city. Thus, during the Great Patriotic War, the population of the city decreased by 11 times.

Yartsevo in the 70-80s

In the 1970s, the city was declared an All-Union shock construction site. Specialists from all over the country come here to build Europe's largest plant for the production of diesel engines. Although plans for the full operation of the new industrial enterprise failed, Yartsevo inherited a huge industrial area, where many enterprises develop their activities today. A multi-storey residential microdistrict Pionerny has grown with 9 and 16-storey buildings for 30 thousand people. The cultural life of the city developed rapidly.

The 90s for Yartsev is a time of industrial decline. Many businesses have closed. The city-forming enterprises - "Yartsevsky Cotton Mill" and the plant "Engine" were on the verge of bankruptcy. Under Yeltsin there was a rapid development of trade. Hundreds of new stores have been opened, over 1,000 entrepreneurs have been registered. The outflow of labor to Moscow on shifts. According to unofficial data, about 20,000 people regularly go to work in Moscow. With a general decline Agriculture farming is being developed. The improvement in life has been last years. This is due to the development of industry and the construction of the Foundry and Rolling Plant in Moscow on the site of the Dvigatel plant. However, work trips to work shifts in the capital are still very popular, since so far most of the new enterprises wage incomparable with Moscow. The industrial potential of the city is developing. AT this moment Yartsevo remains the most investment attractive city in the Smolensk region. Already, investors from various republics and countries have launched their activities in the region. Enterprises of metallurgy, mechanical engineering, logging and woodworking industries complete the overall picture economic development. For the first time in the last 10 years, housing construction has begun. However, the figures periodically announced at conferences (about population growth, the construction of new modern housing, rapid development industry) about plans for the future, seem to many overestimated and unrealistic. Thus, the population of Yartsevo continues to decline: in 2008, 49,700 people live in the city.
