Story

Red Guard Headquarters Building (now the Center for the Development of Creativity for Children and Youth)

village Kamenskaya in 1671-1927

The building of the Military Revolutionary Committee (now the Kamensky Museum of Decorative and Applied Arts and Folk Art)

The city has been known since 1671 as a Cossack settlement, which initially arose near the Malaya Kamenka River (from which it received its name), then moved to the mouth of the Glubokaya River, and then for a long time was located on the left bank of the Seversky Donets, on the site of the modern Staraya Stanitsa (so called the Fourth Migration). During the spring flood, the settlement was flooded by the river, so in 1805 the villagers turned to the military administration with a petition to relocate to the right high bank of the Donets.

However, a war with Napoleonic France soon broke out. Military ataman Matvey Ivanovich Platov led the Don regiments to war. Many Kamenets in those regiments also left. There was no time for relocation. Only in 1817, having received the go-ahead from the authorities, the Kamensk Cossacks began to gradually move to the right bank of the Donets and build up between the villages of Rygin and Kosonogovka that had existed since the end of the 18th century. Most of the residents managed to move to a new place allocated for the village, where Kamensk-Shakhtinsky now stands. The territory of the final justification of Kamenskaya was indicated by the cavalry general, ataman of the Don Cossack army M.I. Platov, who further contributed to the development of the village. Kamensk was rebuilt according to a rectangular layout in accordance with the master plan of the architect F. P. Devolan, who was, in particular, the first architect of the capital of the region of the Don Army -.

The main street of the young village, called Donetsk Prospekt, stretched along an ancient road, which later became a postal route. On January 18, 1812, the grand opening of the parish school took place in Kamenskaya. Since 1819, a four-year school began to operate, into which graduates of the parish school entered.

The village of Kamenskaya was the center of the Donetsk district, the seat of the district authorities. The district included the entire northeast of the land of the Don Army, which included 7, and later (by 1917) 15 villages. At the beginning of the 20th century, Kamenskaya was already the largest of the Don villages. Thanks to the advent of the railway, its commercial importance grew.

Since 1894, a military vocational school operated in a three-story building on Donetsk Avenue. The establishment had a tailor's, hat-tailor's, saddle and forging departments and trained craftsmen for Cossack units. Students came to Kamenskaya to study from different villages and volosts of the district. In the fall of 1903, a real school opened. In 1912, a women's state gymnasium was built; there was also a private women's gymnasium by F. M. Mazurenko. The second floor of the house of the merchant Shevkoplyasov was occupied by a men's state gymnasium.

In January 1918, a congress of representatives of front-line Cossack regiments was held in the village, at which the Don Cossack Military Revolutionary Committee, headed by F. G. Podtyolkov and M. V. Krivoshlykov, was elected, which proclaimed Soviet power in the Don. Many Cossacks of the village of Kamenskaya were drawn into the whirlpool of the civil war on the side of both the Red and White armies.

Until 1920, the village of Kamenskaya was part of the Great Don Army.

In 1920-1924, the village was part of the Donetsk province of the Ukrainian SSR, subordinate directly to the city. In November 1924, the North Caucasus Territory was created, which included the Shakhtinsky District with the Kamensky District and its center - the village of Kamenskaya.

Kamensk-Shakhtinsky during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.

During the Great Patriotic War, Kamensk was occupied by German troops from July 18, 1942 to February 13, 1943.

Several young residents of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky participated in the “Young Guard” of Krasnodon: Shura Bondareva, Styopa Safonov, Vasily Gukov. The city's pioneers took part in the battles for the liberation of the city from the Nazi invaders.

On January 20, 1943, advanced units of the Red Army broke through to the city. The schoolchildren happily greeted the liberators and told the Red Army soldiers about the positions of enemy soldiers, tanks and guns. However, the number of Soviet troops was very small, the infantry advance was supported by only a few light tanks, and the attackers were unable to enter the city and liberate it. After the attack was repulsed, the Nazis carried out a punitive action, seizing in a row all the boys of suitable age, who, after interrogation and torture, were shot in the basement of the building where Gymnasium No. 12 is now located.

On the night of February 13, the 1116th Infantry Regiment under the command of Major A.M. Gursky started fighting in the city, and the 1120th Infantry Regiment (commander - Major A.K. Peschishin) captured Kosonogovka.

During the Voroshilovgrad operation, the city was liberated from Nazi German troops by troops of the 5th Tank Army, which included the 333rd Infantry Division (M.I. Matveev) of the Southwestern Front.

On November 2, 1967, on the central street of the city - Karl Marx Avenue, in Pionersky Square, a monument-stele to the Pioneer Heroes was erected, on which the names of all the dead children were carved. At least three people on this list were actually alive in the 1970s. In 1996, the monument, which by that time had fallen into disrepair, was reconstructed. In their honor, in 1973, the former Lineinaya Street was renamed Heroes-Pioneers Street (to mark the 30th anniversary of the liberation of the city).

After the liberation of Kamensk by Soviet troops, the soldiers who died during the liberation of the city were buried on Labor Square, where a memorial complex was opened on May 9, 1971. Also, a memorial complex was created in front of the main entrance to the Kamensky Chemical Plant (now the FKP “Kamensky Plant”), where monuments to the plant workers who died during the war were erected.

Train accident

In Kamensk-Shakhtinsky (Kamenskaya railway station) on August 7, 1987, one of the largest railway accidents in the USSR occurred: a coupling of three electric locomotives, which broke off at the turnouts from a freight train loaded with grain, crashed into a passenger train standing at the station at a speed of 140 km/h, its last two carriages were crushed; 106 people died in the crash, including children who were traveling from vacation (actress Tatyana Livanova and her daughter were among the dead), another person died during the liquidation of the consequences (fatally injured by electric shock).

Symbolism

In the center of the shield there is a blue shield with the image of the ancient coat of arms of the Don Cossacks - a golden deer pierced by a black arrow. Deer is a symbol of courage and honor of men. The blue color symbolizes chastity, honesty, fidelity and impeccability of women. At the bottom of the shield, at the deer’s feet, there is a branch with three leaves.

Below the shield are symbolic instruments of military labor: the saber crosses the dart from top to bottom with the tip down and is ready to punish or pardon, since a military saber is the same as the “sword of justice.” All yellow symbolism means faith, justice, mercy, humility, power, nobility, constancy and wealth.

Historians argue

There are many versions about how the city was founded. Historians have not officially accepted most of these versions. However, scientists avoid abandoning them completely. According to the “Military Loan Charter”, Kamensk-Shakhtinsky (Kamensky town, then the village) was founded on September 22, 1671. The certificate, in turn, is mentioned in the work of the famous local historian V. Shumov. The document causes much controversy among historians, as many scientists doubt the authenticity of the letter. As one of the arguments, historians put forward the fact that the date on the letter looks too implausible: in pre-Petrine times, chronology was calculated from the biblical creation of the world, and not from the Nativity of Christ. The year 7180 should have been indicated on the charter, not 1671. In addition, in the document you can find several phraseological turns that are uncharacteristic of the second half of the 17th century. Another compelling argument: there was no single standard for drawing up loan letters; therefore, it is impossible to determine the exact date of creation of the document based only on its structure.

There is a version that the Kamensky town was devastated twice - in 1677 and 1685. In this regard, the town had to be moved to a new location - on the banks of the Glubokaya River. There is documentary evidence that the town was seriously damaged by the devastation of the Azov people in 1684. Presumably, the year of foundation of the Kamensky town was not 1671, but 1683. Many scientists believe that the settlement arose a year before its destruction by the Azovites.

Versions of the origin of the Kamensky town first appeared in the historical literature of the 19th century. After the abolition of serfdom, many peasants decided to go to the Don, where they planned to settle in Cossack villages. The newly arrived peasants formed a special social group called “nonresidents.” The contrast between newcomers and natives significantly increased the status of the latter. Thanks to the growing self-awareness of the residents of Kamensky town, the interest of the indigenous population in their own history appears. In the second half of the 19th century, the so-called “folk” versions of the origin of the settlement were very popular. In “folk” versions, Kamensky town is represented as a more ancient settlement. Scientists prefer not to trust folk tales.

Official version

According to the official version, which historians prefer to adhere to, the decision to found the city was made at the ataman’s military circle. 22 Cossacks submitted a request to found a new settlement. The request was granted, and on September 22, 1671, “on the Donets in an empty yurt near the Kamenka River,” a settlement was founded, named after the nearby river Kamensky Town. There is a legend that the first settlers were pardoned participants in the uprising. Over time, the town began to be called a village.

Stanitsa

Kamenskaya had to change her “address” several times, not only because of attacks by Azovites. In historical documents of the early 19th century one can find references to the fact that the reason for the move was the spring flood. The last time the village was moved was in 1816. Since the village was in dire need of educational institutions, a parish school was opened in Kamenskaya in January 1812. A few years later, after the last transfer of the village, a four-year school was opened. Its students were graduates of the parish school. In 1903, a real school began to operate, which was intended to impart to students “technical knowledge directly useful for industrial activity.” In 1912, a women's state gymnasium was built. In addition, in the village there was a private women's gymnasium by F. M. Mazurenko. The house of the merchant Ivan Shovkoplyasov housed a men's state gymnasium. Classes were located on the second floor.

In the early 1900s, cinematographs were brought to the village for the first time. The cinema halls bore names unusual for village residents - “Odeon”, “Soleil”, “Renaissance”. Inexperienced viewers were shown short films that were fashionable in those years: “Eva’s Apple,” “Black Monster,” “Queen of the Courtesans” and others. The villagers cared no less about their spiritual life than about the availability of entertainment. At the end of the 19th century, the Church of the Nativity was built. Its construction cost 120 thousand rubles. In 1883, at the expense of the widow of Colonel Alexei Mashlykov, the Alekseevskaya Church was erected, which the widow dedicated to the memory of her late husband. The Church of the Intercession also operated in the village.

Many people were born in Kamenskaya Stanitsa who, to one degree or another, contributed to the development of science, literature, art and culture. The most famous natives of the village are considered to be the writers N.M. Oleinikov and A.V. Kalinin, the public figure and outstanding poet A.I. Petrovsky. The author of the book “Memoirs of the Wanderers”, Ya. D. Minchenkov, lived permanently in Kamensk since 1922. His work is included in the golden fund of world literature on art. Minchenkov was a friend of famous artists Vasnetsov and. Yakov Danilovich repeatedly initiated exhibitions of the Itinerants.

After the revolution

When the October Revolution was over, the turn of the civil war came. The village of Kamenskaya did not stand aside. The war began in the village in January 1918. A congress of front-line Cossacks was held in Kamenskaya. At the general meeting, a decision was made to overthrow the government of Ataman Kaledin. The congress elected Donrevkom, which included 15 people. Donrevkom was headed by F. Podtyolkov.

In 1920, the village of Kamenskaya became part of the Donetsk province, which belonged to the Ukrainian SSR. At the end of 1924, the North Caucasus region was created. The Shakhtinsky district with the Kamensky regional center - the village of Kamenskaya - became part of it.

The village received its new status and name Kamensk on March 28, 1927. After 2 years, the name of the city was changed to Kamensk-Shakhtinsky (to distinguish it from).

The Great Patriotic War

In 1941, the beginning of the Great Patriotic War was announced in the country. A few hours after the war began, Kamensk residents gathered at the city military registration and enlistment office who wanted to sign up for the front as volunteers. By June 26, over one and a half thousand applications had been submitted to the military registration and enlistment office. More than three hundred applications were received from women. At the end of October 1941, the headquarters of the Southern Front was located in the city, which was located here until mid-January 1942. The residents of Kamenka published the newspaper “For the Glory of the Motherland,” whose editors included Boris Gorbatov, Sergei Mikhalkov and other famous people. Kamensk-Shakhtinsky became the birthplace for the famous song by Modest Tabachnikov and Ilya Frenkel “Let's smoke.”

The front line was approaching the city. On July 19, 1942, Kamensk-Shakhtinsky was occupied. The Nazis dominated the city for 7 months. A “new order” was established for the residents of Kamensk, attempts to resist it were brutally suppressed. During the occupation, about one and a half thousand local residents were tortured in the city. The brutal reprisals did not stop the Kamenites; attempts to resist continued. An underground committee appeared in the city. He headed the secret organization sent from the city of Breweries. The underground printed leaflets urging fellow citizens to resist the invaders, no matter what. G. Pivovarov died in January 1943 during the battles for the liberation of the city.

The residents of Kamensk defended not only their native Kamensk-Shakhtinsky. Local Komsomol members participated in the underground organization “Young Guard” in the city of Krasnodon. Among the underground workers were Vasily Gukov, Stepan Safonov and Kamensky Pedagogical School student Alexandra Bondareva. Vasily and Alexandra died in January 1943. The young people were thrown into the pit of the Krasnodon mine along with some other fighters. Stepan Safonov managed to escape. However, after some time he died in the battle for the liberation of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky in January 1943. S. Safonov was posthumously awarded. One of the streets of the modern city is named after Styopa Safonov.

After the German army was surrounded, Soviet troops advanced westward. On January 14, the 169th Tank Brigade of Colonel A. Kodints and the 23rd Tank Corps of Major General E. Pushkin approached Kamensk-Shakhtinsky. Children came out of the city to meet them, showing the enemy firing points to the Soviet wars. The first attempt to liberate the city was unsuccessful. The tanks were forced to retreat across the river. On January 20, the Nazis arrested more than fifty teenagers. All the children were shot. Kamensk-Shakhtinsky was liberated only on February 13, 1943. On February 14, soldiers who died during the liberation of the city were buried on Labor Square. G. Pivovarov was buried here.

On May 9, 1971, on the day of the next anniversary of the Victory, a Memorial complex was opened on Labor Square, and a T-70 tank, which was shot down by the enemy in the battles for Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, was installed on a pedestal. Monuments to fallen soldiers were erected near the artificial fiber plant and near the chemical plant. Many Kamensk residents who fought on various fronts during the war years were awarded orders and medals for their courage and heroism.

Post-war years

When the war was over, the residents of Kamensk, like residents of other cities of the USSR, set about rebuilding their hometown. By the early 50s, local production teams were able to achieve pre-war levels of productivity. Plant No. 515 (modern joint-stock company "Kamenskvolokno") produced its first products already in September 1948. Then, in addition to artificial fiber, the plant began to produce viscose twine for hay pressing. Viscose twine was exhibited at VDNH. The main consumers of this type of product were rural residents of Georgia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Moldova. Many Kamensk enterprises reconstructed workshops and repaired equipment. Some workshops have been repurposed. The products of the Kamensk chemical plant were exported to 30 countries around the world.

In the 50s, a steam locomotive repair plant was built in the city. In 1955, it was repurposed as a machine-building plant and began producing equipment for coal mines. The plant's products were well known in England, China, Hungary, Poland, India, Germany and other countries. The Kamensky Experimental Mechanical Plant, in addition to producing electrodes, launched the production of concrete mixer trucks, which were in great demand not only in the USSR, but also abroad. There was a confectionery factory in the city that produced dozens of products. The Kamensky microdistrict of Likhovskaya has become one of the largest railway junctions in the country. This status remains with Likhovsky to this day.

The cultural appearance of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky has also changed beyond recognition. Palaces of culture and many other institutions designed for cultural leisure appeared in the city.

Modern city

In modern Kamensk-Shakhtinsky there are more than a thousand enterprises, providing work for half of the city's population. Housing construction continues. The city administration pays special attention to organizing cultural leisure for citizens, the healthcare sector and creating new jobs. Small businesses are developing in the city. About nine thousand Kamensk residents are employed in this area. Local social institutions successfully carry out their activities. Among them: Center for Social Services, Center for Social Assistance to Family and Children and others. Kamensk health and medical institutions are regularly supplied with the latest equipment, thanks to which the level of medical care in the city meets all modern standards.

Schools in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky annually graduate hundreds of boys and girls. Local youth have the opportunity to get a profession without leaving their hometown in higher and secondary technical educational institutions. Additional education in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky can be obtained at local sports and music schools. The city has a network of libraries and swimming pools. One of the city’s attractions is the Kamensk Museum of Local History.

The main specialization of the city is coal mining. Woodworking, mechanical engineering and food industries are no less developed. A network of banks and insurance companies operates in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky.

The city grew significantly thanks to the annexation of several villages located on the southeastern and southern outskirts of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky. Among these settlements are the villages of Shakhtyorsky, Montazhnikov, Yuzhny and others.

In post-Soviet times, several temples and churches were built in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky: the Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Holy Trinity Church, etc. Scenes for such famous films as “Quiet Don”, “The Fate of a Man” and others were filmed in the city. The federal highway Don passes beyond the southern border of the city. In the early 2000s, the bridge across the Seversky Donets was put into operation. The bridge is designed to ensure uninterrupted traffic between
