Year: 1788 1834 and 1911

Located in the village of Dergachi, Samara region. It was built in 1909. It was destroyed during Stalin's times. At the moment there is a restoration project, but due to the financial difficulties of the region, the temple will not be restored. At the moment, the temple has preserved frescoes on the vaults of the walls.

The wooden church on a stone foundation is located in the village of Pavlovka, Samara region, and was built in 1866. In 1885, Bishop Seraphim of Samara and Stavropol consecrated the throne in the name of the Archangel of God Michael. At the moment, the church is in a deplorable state, the ceilings are rotten, the ceiling has collapsed in places, and the wall frescoes of God's faces have been preserved.

The historical complex “The Samarins’ Estate” is located in the village of Privolzhye, Samara region. The complex was built in 1885 in the Byzantine style. On the territory of the complex, 4 churches, a stud farm and stables, a distillery, a greenhouse were built, a beautiful grove was planted, a pond was created, two orchards were established and a greenhouse was established. After 1917, the estate building was used by the party and Soviet authorities. By the middle of the 20th century the house...

The church was founded around 1711. Until 1936, the Red Army came to these places to fight believers who stubbornly refused to give up their faith. Until 1936, people were shot several times because of this. In 1936, the Red Army soldiers once again rode up to blow up the church. But the remaining residents tried to prevent it. It ended with women, children and old people being shot. They left the wounded and corpses in...

An abandoned cinema in an abandoned Timiryazevsky park. A haven for local drug addicts. All that was left of the cinema was the walls and ceiling, no windows, no doors, no swag. There is a non-working fountain in the park. The territory of the park is already quite overgrown with bushes and trees, in the absence of maintenance.

At the site where this chapel was built, on September 25, 1911, artillery staff captain Alexei Nikolaevich Lyupov was brutally killed. The chapel was built by his brother, Semyon Nikolaevich Lyupov, in 1913. The building is built from limestone blocks. At the moment it is apparently abandoned, but the inscription on the sign indicates that this object is protected by the state.

The church was built in 1714 and is the oldest church on Samarskaya Luka. There is a legend that it was built by Count Menshikov for the miraculous rescue by Nicholas the Wonderworker during a storm on the Volga. Inside, frescoes on the plaster have been preserved, but the decorative stone decoration has been completely lost.

This house is located in the small, almost abandoned village of Askula in the Samara region. The house belonged to a rich and prosperous peasant Chukin. His exact fate is unknown: someone says that he disappeared in the Gulag, someone says that he was dispossessed and he went to Kazakhstan. We managed to find out from local residents that later the house had other owners, as evidenced by the bricks with initials that you can find in and around the house, unfortunately there is a photo of this...

2. France, 1706

A fragment of a map of Tartary by the French cartographer Guillaume de Lisle, published in 1706. It probably relied heavily on the previous map. In general, it is clear that de Lisle had a rather mediocre idea of ​​the area, but later he seriously improved his knowledge, not without the help of the Russian Tsar.

3. France, before 1726

The following is a map by Guillaume de Lisle, created between 1717 and 1726. After his trip along the Volga and his visit to Samara, Peter I met in 1717 with de Lisle in Paris, where he told him a number of information about his country. Probably, the information told by the Russian Tsar served to make adjustments.

There are more geographical names on the map. For example, the Usa River appeared. In addition, it is curious that in several places there are ruins marked on it, which the cartographer connects with Tamerlane. Perhaps Peter himself told the cartographer about them.

At the same time, Syzran, which already existed by that time, is not on the map.

4. France, 1752

The map, compiled in 1752 by the future cartographer of Louis XV, Gilles Robert de Vogondy, is part of the atlas of Russia he created together with his son. On it you can already find a number of settlements that still exist today.

Tsarev Kurgan is no longer just a mountain, but an entire settlement. On Samarskaya Luka Osinovka and Novinki are marked. Near Samara the Alekseevskaya fortress is depicted (current Alekseevka near Kinel). There is also Khryashchevka on the map. And for the first time Syzran appears in this collection.

5. Austria, 1787

Map published in Vienna at the end of the 18th century, including Denmark, Norway, Sweden and the European part of Russia. Although it has not been worked out in detail, it is clear that according to the cartographer’s ideas, Samara was located in Asia. The border of the parts of the world is drawn along the Kama, and then along the Volga.

Krasnosamarskoye and Borskoye appear on the map, which were not on the previous one. At the same time, Stavropol (present-day Tolyatti) is not on the map, which by that time had existed for almost half a century.

6. Netherlands, 1827

The map was created by the eminent Flemish cartographer and geographer Philippe Vandermeulen shortly before Flanders became part of Belgium, separating from Holland.

This map already includes Stavropol, Syzran, and many other populated areas that still exist today. At the same time, there are also ones that are quite outlandish for us. For example, Zhigulina Truba on Samarskaya Luka. The spelling of the name “Kurumoch” in two words is also interesting - Cour Oumotch.

7. Great Britain, 1835

A map issued by the British Society for the dissemination of useful knowledge entitled “European Russia. Part VII." The society existed between 1826 and 1848.

The map already contains almost all the main settlements of that time from Bolshaya Glushitsa to Usolye. Sulfur deposits are noted near Sergievsk.

8. Germany, 1875

The map was compiled by a German cartographer from Thuringia at the beginning of the 19th century for a world atlas, and then expanded by his students after his death. The presented fragment was first published in 1875, and the atlas itself was widely used in various publications and was published several times in Germany until the middle of the 20th century.

Rozhdestveno appears for the first time in our selection on this map. There is even the current Oktyabrsk - Kostychi. Interestingly, opposite them across the Volga you can see a large lake called Bashkirskoye. Now it is almost dry and is a tiny pond in the village of Natalino, Bezenchuksky district.

The Samara province was formed in 1853 on lands allocated from the Kazan (northern part of the Stavropol district), Orenburg (Bugulminsky, Buguruslan and Buzuluk districts), Simbirsk (Samara district, southern part of the Stavropol district) and Saratov provinces (Nikolaevsky and Novouzensky districts) . The distribution of the territories of the districts of the province was not uniform: Nouzensky district in its territory was three times larger than Bugulma and Stavropol districts, Boguruslansky twice, etc. Nikolaevsky and Novouzensky districts were the largest in the Samara province. The Samara River divided the entire Samara province into two almost equal parts: the southwestern part, which included the Novouzensky district and half of the Samara and Buzuluk districts, and the northeastern one - north of the Samara River, which consisted of the northern parts of the Samara and Buzuluk districts and the Stavropol districts , Buguruslansky and Bugulminsky. Of the Volga provinces of the Russian Empire, the new Samara province ranked second in terms of territory size after the Astrakhan province. After the revolution, the Kuibyshev region eventually settled on the site of the Samara province, now the Samara region.

There are the following maps and sources:

Currently, all land survey maps available to us for the Samara province date back to the reign of Catherine the Second in 1775-96, when this province did not exist and it was parts of the Simbirsk, Saratov and Orenburg provinces. The maps are colored and very detailed.

Story

Early history

The entire space now occupied by the Northern province, at the beginning of the 16th century. was occupied by nomadic foreigners: to the north, now. Stavropol district, Nogai Tatars, who, with the onset of spring warmth, wandered with their herds along the meadow side of the Volga to the river. Kama; at present Buguruslansky, Bugulminsky and Buzuluksky districts - by nomadic Bashkirs and Kalmyks, to the south, in Nikolaevsky and Novouzensky districts - by Kyrgyz and Tatars.

Russian infiltration begins

Russian settlers began to penetrate here in the second half of the 16th century, after the conquest of the Kazan kingdom. At first, crowds of fugitive schismatics, landowner peasants who fled from landlord oppression, etc. came here. After the construction of the city of Samara, the government began to send here whole detachments of foreign servicemen, who were rewarded for their service with fishing, beaver lands, beaver runs, etc. Among the Bashkirs, after the conquest of the Kazan kingdom, the Chuvash, Mordovians, and Cheremis, who came here from the present, voluntarily settled. lips Penza, Ufa, Kazan and Simbirsk. These latter were more engaged in agriculture on the Bashkir lands; The Bashkirs owned them like serfs, took tribute from them, forced them to perform corvée and all sorts of natural duties.

Resettlement of Kalmyks

At the beginning of the 17th century. Kalmyks appeared from the banks of the Urals to the Northern Territory due to a rumor that spread among them that the river. The Volga is larger than the Urals and more free for nomadism with herds. In the spring of 1634, the Kalmyks set off with their wagons and accidentally stumbled upon the Nogai Tatars, stretched out in 40,000 wagons along the northern banks of S. Luka all the way to Simbirsk. A battle took place between both tribes, which ended in the complete defeat of the Nogais. The Kalmyks took possession of the entire Volga meadow area.

As the Russian wave of colonization spread and expanded here, clashes began between Russians and nomadic foreigners. Russians constantly complained to the government about their oppression by the Kalmyks and Bashkirs, the latter - against the Russians. In 1644, the government sent troops to the northern region against the Kalmyks, under the leadership of governor Pleshcheev. Pleshcheev defeated them and subjugated them “under the high hand of the Tsar, so that they, the Kalmyks, would be given general bargaining in the sovereign’s cities, and would not come to the sovereign’s cities and districts with war.”

Construction of lines of fortresses

For the safety of the Russian peasants and merchants who settled in the northern region, the government decided to build lines of fortresses along the rivers. In 1652, construction began on the Simbirsk line (within the present Stavropol district), along the left bank of the river. Volga and along the right bank of the river. Cheremshan, for which it was ordered to expel “the Podymov people - Cheremis, Chuvash and Votyaks.” First, a fortress was built from “pine logs” in the mountains. Belom-Yar, where they were sent to live forever from the Kazan lips for settlement. 100 mounted service Cossacks and 9 people. exiles. The next fortress was built in the city of Eryklinsk, with 6 towers and a messenger bell. 150 arable peasants from the village of Chalnov (near the city of Elabuga, on the banks of the Kama River) settled here, employed in the Cossack service. “If any service people,” the order said, “streltsy and peasants do not want to leave the village of Chalnov, then they will be expelled from the villages and beaten by batogs and put in prison for disobedience.” From Yeryklinsk the line stretched among continuous forest to the mountains. Tiinsk, on the Tiya River, where a fort was also built. In 1653, 50 mounted archers with their families from the Akhtachinsky prison and 100 Chalny arable peasants were transferred here. When Smolensk was taken from the Poles in 1654, 141 people were deported from there and from Polotsk to Tiinsk along with the Cossacks. Polish small gentry, who even previously “carried serf service as general servants of the Polish kings.” Another party of Polish gentry settled in the settlement. Staraya Kuvaka and Staraya Pismyanka now. Bugulminsky district As a result of complaints from the gentry and peasants to the government that they were “terrified to live from the military people on the Zakamskaya border,” in 1670 they began building a “city with a tyn” on the river. Maine (now the village of Staraya Maina). Peasants from the provinces were resettled here. Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan and Simbirsk. Until 1830, Polish nobles were considered arable soldiers or minors. Another line of fortresses (Zakamskaya) began construction in 1727 from the suburb of Alekseevsk to the suburb of Sergievsk, along the Soka River. People from all over the Kazan province were assigned to work on the construction of the line. 15,000 people who were allocated land (18 dessiatinas on foot, 55 dessiatinas on horseback). In three years the fortresses of Kundukcha, Cheremshan, Kichuy, and Sheshminsk were built.

Under Anna Ioannovna, in 1736, the line of fortresses was continued along the river. Samara from Samara to Orenburg: fortresses Krasnosamarskaya, Borskaya, Buzulukskaya, Totskaya, Sorochinskaya, Olshanskaya (Eminka village), Novoserpovskaya. All fortresses were surrounded by ramparts, ditches and wooden walls, with slingshots, wooden towers and tours in the corners; Cast iron cannons are installed on the towers. Between the fortresses, more redoubts were built, occupied by the Cossacks. Cossacks were settled in 5 fortresses, numbering 1078 people. and, in addition, 12 Kalmyks, 41 commoners, 19 Nogais and 6 people. exiles.

Bashkir unrest and Pugachevism

The Bashkirs, believing that the fortresses could serve as a bulwark against their raids on Russian settlers, rebelled, numbering more than 20,000 people. and, despite the government’s assurances that the fortresses were built against the Kyrgyz and Nogais, they continued to burn and ravage villages, and beat and capture people. In 1740, the government sent troops to pacify the Bashkirs, who destroyed more than 700 Bashkir villages; 16,000 people died in the battle. Bashkir.

However, the Bashkirs did not soon calm down and for a long time continued to serve as a thunderstorm for the Russian settlers. When P. Pallas visited the fortresses of the Samara region in 1769, he found them in very poor condition. The Pugachev movement found significant support among the Kalmyks and Bashkirs. It was suppressed here in 1774 by General A.I. Bibikov. In the districts of Buzuluksky, Buguruslansky, Bugulminsky and Nikolaevsky there are still 40,628 Bashkirs.

Since 1738, the government tried to populate the left bank of the river. Volga (in the Stavropol district) by Russian peasants with the aim of accustoming the Kalmyks who were still nomadic here to farming, but to no avail; therefore, in 1842 it evicted them to the Orenburg province.

Enhanced Colonization

Intensified colonization of the current S. lips. began only in the second half of the 18th century, especially in the south, where in the 17th century. Only small groups of fugitive walking people settled, constantly at odds with the wandering Kirghiz and Tatars.

To settle what is now Nikolaevsky district, schismatics who fled there from persecution in Russia were called from abroad. They were given 70 thousand dessiatines for use. land, was granted a six-year exemption from taxes and duties, and the unhindered practice of their faith was ensured. They settled in entire villages along the banks of the river. Big Irgiz. At the same time, Molokans arrived here, who founded several villages in 1792, and German colonists from Württemberg, Baden, Prussia, Bavaria, Kassel, Hesse-Darmstadt, Saxony, Mecklenburg, Switzerland, etc. In most cases, the first German the colonists were completely incapable of farming. German colonists settled along the left bank of the river. Volga among 25,000 people. and occupied the houses that our government had already built in advance for them. Each German family received 2 horses, 1 cow, seeds for sowing and agricultural tools. From 1766 to 1788, German colonists founded 36 colonies on the banks of the Volga. From 1778 to 1858, 43,017 souls settled here.
