By the way...

In the 80s of the 20th century, at the Yakhromskaya spinning and weaving factory of the Research and Production Enterprise "Hyperon", a technology for restoring the rollers of a rewinding and rewinding machine was developed and successfully implemented. One day, journalists came to the production, and during an interview, the director of the factory thanked the Hyperon workers, saying that as a result of their work, the enterprise managed to save tons of metal, increase yarn production and reduce staff turnover. The head of the Hyperon research and production enterprise, Anatoly Puzryakov, was perplexed: how can plasma spraying keep weavers at work? And after the interview I approached the director with this question. Everything turned out to be quite simple - one weaver services 12 looms, and when they are all working, the woman receives a high salary and does not want to move to another place. Thanks to the plasma installation, it became possible to maintain the serviceability of the weaving machine fleet at the proper level.

Post-war Yakhroma

As of 1924, the Yakhroma volost included 17 villages. The settlement of the banks of the Yakhroma River in these places began in the 11th – 12th centuries. This is evidenced by the only archaeological monument - the “Peremilovskoe settlement” of the Slavs. Many of these villages have a long history. For example, the village of Peremilovo is listed in documents from 1544, the village of Andreevskoye is mentioned in the Exchange Charter of Ivan IV from 1566, Leonovo and Semeshki are recorded in books of the early 17th century, and Pochinki, Surovtsovo, Podolino, Kovshino are in documents of the early 18th century. By the way, in Rus' they called the first peasant house with other outbuildings in a newly built village.

The largest in Dmitrovsky district was considered the temple in the name of the Life-Giving Trinity, the Nativity and Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, built in 1895 on the territory of the modern city of Yakhroma. The construction was financed by the former Moscow City Mayor, actual state councilor, owner of the Pokrovskaya Manufactory factory, Ivan Artemyevich Lyamin. He allocated several hundred thousand rubles for construction. On July 5, 1892, the ceremonial laying of the temple with chapels in the name of the Nativity and Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary took place. Over 10 thousand people gathered for this celebration. Between the church fence and the hospital, 100 tables were installed with 100 seats each. Each guest was given a cutlery wrapped in a napkin - two porcelain plates, a porcelain mug made by Kuznetsov in Verbilki and a wooden spoon. The device was supplied with one bottle of beer, two pounds of sausage, a pound of boiled meat and a bottle of vodka for four. Waiters from the Metropol restaurant poured soup and served tables.

The author of the project and the construction manager was the famous Moscow architect Sergei Konstantinovich Rodionov (he was also the author of the almshouse in Dmitrov and the temple in the village of Sysoevo). The temple resembled the St. Petersburg Kazan Cathedral, occupied an area of ​​250 fathoms and could simultaneously accommodate up to 4 thousand people. The building of the temple and bell tower is made in the neoclassical style. The pediments depict the All-Seeing Eye. Construction lasted three years. The four-tier bell tower was built at the expense of Ivan Artemyevich’s son, Semyon Ivanovich. On July 26, 1930, the decapitated and plundered temple was closed. From that time on, the cathedral premises were used as a vegetable storehouse; it housed a pasta factory, a furniture warehouse, and a canteen. During the Great Patriotic War, there was a hospital in the basement of the temple, where the famous surgeon Pyotr Konyarov operated on wounded soldiers. Today, restoration work is underway in the temple and bell tower.

The Yakhroma spinning and weaving factory determined the future of the modern city of Yakhroma. First, a workers' settlement arose here, in which 6,716 people lived in 1924. And then, in 1940, it was given city status.

The city of Yakhroma grew out of a village that developed on the Yakhroma River around one of the oldest cloth factories in the Moscow region. It was founded by the landowner Ponomarev near the village of Surovtsovo in 1841. This is what the doctor of the Moscow provincial zemstvo A.V. wrote. Pogozhev: “The factory is located in the Olgovskaya volost, in the parish of Andreevsky, near the village of Surovtsovo, at a distance of 57 versts from Moscow, 7 versts from Dmitrov and 6360 sazhens from the Moscow highway...”. After some time, Ponomarev sold the factory to the merchant Kuvshinnikov, from whom it passed to another merchant, Zheleznov. After this, the manufactory changed owners like gloves, until in 1856 it fell into the hands of the Moscow entrepreneur Kaulin, who laid the foundation for paper weaving production. In 1858, on the advice of his father-in-law, Semyon Longinovich Lepeshkin, the manufactory was purchased by the merchant of the first guild, commerce advisor Ivan Artemyevich Lyamin. He built new production facilities, expanded existing ones, and installed machines driven by steam engines. In 1880, the paper weaving factory of I.A. Lyamina was transformed into the company "Partnership of the Pokrovskaya Manufactory". Calico, molexin, and calico were produced from American, Egyptian, Turkmen and Transcaucasian cotton. For finishing, the fabrics were sent to the Presnenskaya cotton-printed manufactory. In 1885, the territory of the Pokrovskaya manufactory expanded from 20 to 100 hectares. Successfully expanding his manufactory in Yakhroma, Ivan Artemyevich managed to achieve high production efficiency and quickly became rich.

Ivan Artemyevich Lyamin was born into a famous merchant family in 1822. He was a well-read man, naturally intelligent, savvy and honest, but at the same time modest and pious. Lyamin received an excellent education at the Imperial Practical Academy of Commercial Sciences. Ivan Artemyevich became the most famous representative of the Lyamin family of merchants. He took an active part in the public life of Moscow, was an outstanding financier, founder of the Moscow Merchant Bank, a hereditary honorary citizen, a famous industrialist, philanthropist and philanthropist. Lyamin began his career as a clerk in the office of Grigory Knoop’s textile store. The latter was considered the master of the entire cotton industry in Russia. The people made a saying about him: “No matter the church, then the priest, no matter the factory, then the Knoop.” Grigory Knoop betrothed Lyamin to Semyon Lepeshkin, the owner of one of the largest textile factories in the Moscow province - Voznesenskaya manufactory. Marriage to Lepeshkin's daughter Elizaveta Semenovna brought Ivan Artemyevich a good dowry, success and happiness. The family had nine children.

Rebuilding the factory after the war

Over the past decades, more than a million Russians out of one and a half million employed in the textile and light industry have lost their jobs. Hundreds of enterprises went bankrupt and ceased to exist, including city-forming ones, on which the fate of small towns, such as Yakhroma, depends. Liquidated in the Vladimir region - Karabanovsky Textile, Aleksandroviskozh, Nikologorsk Spinning and Weaving Factory. In the Krasnodar Territory there are cotton and worsted cloth mills, a tannery, Novorossiysk and Armavir garment factories. In the Ivanovo region there is the Bolshaya Dmitrovskaya manufactory and the Puchezhsky flax mill. These enterprises employed more than 40 thousand people. And bankruptcies still continue. Many of our products are superior in price and quality to European ones. However, Russian enterprises, due to the fault of their native state, become victims of dirty competition. The volume of smuggled products is more than double the level of domestic production and legal imports. Foreign giants monopolized wholesale and retail chains. Today, the share of domestic goods on the Russian market has decreased to 20%. This is below the threshold that ensures the economic security of the country (51%). In France, for example, the law establishes that 60% of the domestic market should be occupied by domestic goods. And here it’s very difficult for Russian products to even get onto store shelves. The Russian light industry, like the agricultural sector, must under no circumstances be completely destroyed, otherwise our entire country will perish.

Everybody go skiing!

It is a pity that such a giant of light industry as the Yakhroma Spinning and Weaving Factory ceased to exist in the early 90s. High-quality textiles turned out to be unnecessary for anyone on the Russian market. Huge workshops were empty, and instead of spinning and weaving machines, small-scale production of paper containers, furniture and other nonsense appeared. Yakhroma lost thousands of jobs. The physical culture movement has become a thing of the past, the construction of housing and social facilities has ceased, and the improvement of the city is remembered only on the eve of major holidays. The entire burden fell on the local municipality, on the council of deputies, who are faced with the task of reviving the city of textile workers.

History of sports in Yakhroma

The physical education movement in Yakhroma originated from folk games: skiing down the mountains on homemade skis, sleds and ice skating. Particular interest in these activities appeared already in 1908, not only among children, but also among adults. It was 1908, when simple games became widespread, and is considered the beginning of the physical education movement in Yakhroma.
In 1910, street sports clubs appeared in the factory village, and football teams were organized: “Zarya”, “Red Houses”, “Volna”.

Just some 5 kilometers from Dmitrov, on a hilly area along the banks of the Moscow Canal, lies the small town of Yakhroma, which arose about 170 years ago from a small settlement at a cloth factory - the Pokrovskaya Manufactory, later famous throughout Russia. You can get from Dmitrov to Yakhroma by bus or minibus in a few minutes, and from Moscow the route is on rubber wheels along Dmitrovskoe Highway - or by train from Savyolovsky station in an hour and a quarter.

At the end of May, I visited this small town for walking and photographic purposes, the results of which I present to your attention - and you, dear readers, decide for yourself whether Yakhroma is worth your visit or not. By the way, this year Yakhroma turned 70 years old, since it was transformed from a working-class village into a city in 1940, just before the war.

So, at the very entrance to the city from the side of Dmitrov, one immediately notices the monument on the mass grave “To the Heroes who fell in the fight for the Motherland,” or more precisely, to the soldiers of the 1st Shock Army who stood to their death on the near approaches to Moscow in the fall of 1941.

By the way, two years ago the mass grave was “renovated”. Previously, a beautiful spruce grew there, planted when the monument was laid. Why it was uprooted is difficult to understand.

As you know, in the menacing days of late November - early December 1941, there were fierce battles between Soviet troops and Nazi troops rushing towards Moscow. On November 28, the advanced units of the 7th Panzer Division of the Wehrmacht, operating in the Dmitrov direction, using numerical superiority in manpower and equipment, captured Yakhroma, crossed the Canal. Moscow opposite the city and entrenched on its eastern bank.

The Nazis tried to expand the bridgehead, but the explosion on November 29 of bridges and canal hydraulic structures in Dmitrov, Yakhroma and Dedenev blocked the path to further advance of German troops. A few days later, soldiers of the 1st Shock Army under the command of General Vasily Ivanovich Kuznetsov, without waiting for all their units to arrive, on December 2 threw the Nazis back across the canal and attacked them from the south. As a result of five days of fierce fighting, the city was liberated on December 7 (after being occupied for only 10 days), and the Yakhroma operation became a turning point in the subsequent famous counter-offensive near Moscow.

A few tens of meters behind the monument, in a small but cozy and shady park, is the Yakhroma House of Culture.

The House of Culture was built in 1957, shortly after the end of the era of the mustachioed Leader with a pipe - but still in the then popular Stalinist Empire style. 50 years later, in 2007, a major renovation of the building was carried out, as a result of which no one was harmed; this center of culture looks pretty decent.

Finally, after walking another couple of hundred meters, we find ourselves on the main “front” square of Yakhroma. It is not at all surprising whose name it is named after:

Among the attractions of this square are the following:

Monument to a Typical Working Guy holding some paper in his hands.

Upon closer examination, it turned out that the important document that the representative of the Komsomol working class was presenting to passersby was the “Law on Peace.” Moreover, pay attention to the fact that the brave messenger is holding the document in his left hand, since his right hand has lost at least one finger - apparently, in the battles for this very world

Not far from the Messenger of Peace, the only fountain in the city throws out its cool jets, and children run nearby and relax on the benches of their mother (and sometimes father)

On the other side of the square there is an old building that now houses the city administration, as well as the Pyaterochka supermarket. At the left end, under a small canopy, there is a post office.

On the notice board next to the entrance to Pyaterochka you can find such notices, reflecting the boundless humor of the Russian people

Behind this fence lies the main city-forming enterprise of the city - the former Yakhroma manufactory, whose tall chimney is visible both from here and from almost anywhere in the city. Our further passage is blocked by a formidable barrier, but there are always bypass paths, right?

Thus, if you go around the “Honey” restaurant on the right, then along the path we go around several buildings and through a hole we enter the territory of the “Yakhroma Textiles” factory. I don’t know if the weavers are active now (I didn’t see any particular revival inside), but more than a hundred years ago it was a powerful enterprise...

The foundation and subsequent prosperity of the Yakhroma textile manufactory is entirely connected with the merchant family of Lyamin manufacturers, whose names were mentioned in the ranks of the Moscow merchants already at the end of the 18th century. The most famous representative of the family was Ivan Artemyevich Lyamin (1822-1894) - an outstanding financier and industrialist, founder of the Moscow Merchants Bank, a remarkable public figure, philanthropist and philanthropist.

Lyamin bought the Andreevskaya paper spinning and weaving manufactory in 1858. Based on the name of the church in the village of Andreevskoye - Intercession of the Mother of God - Ivan Artemyevich named his enterprise Pokrovskaya manufactory. The young industrialist spared no expense on first-class equipment for those times: a three-story spinning building was built, an English steam engine and “Selfactor mule machines” were installed for spinning production.

During the first decade of the “Lyamin rule,” on the initiative of the factory owner, residential buildings were built for its workers, a hospital with a whole staff of doctors and paramedics, a kindergarten, a well-equipped school, and later a vocational school were opened at the factory.

For the same factory workers, already under Semyon Ivanovich Lyamin, the son and heir of Ivan Artemyevich, a cinematograph for cinematic sessions was even built, and a power plant was built.

According to the newspaper "News of the Day", at the Lyaminsky manufactory, all children of workers had the opportunity to study for free in schools at the factory (one of them was a craft school). The factory workers had a sense of security: they were confident that they would not be fired, no matter what turmoil occurred in the Russian market; in difficult times of crisis, Ivan Artemyevich ordered people to work “in the warehouse” and, without firing anyone, did not reduce wages.

By the way, in 1871-1873, Ivan Artemyevich was the Moscow mayor (that is, in modern terms, the mayor of Moscow), and for 30 years until his death, he was a member (deputy) of the Moscow City Duma. In addition, he served as headman of the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in Pyzhi on Bolshaya Ordynka. And in 1875, for his outstanding public activities, Ivan Artemyevich received the rank of full state councilor.

I.A. Lyamin with his wife and children. By the way, it was at the expense of Elizaveta Semyonovna Lyamina (then already a widow), in 1898, that the most beautiful church of St. Elizabeth was built in Dmitrov, which I already talked about earlier - during

After the death of Ivan Artemyevich, management of the factory was taken over by his son, Sergei Ivanovich Lyamin, a hereditary honorary citizen, member of the Moscow City Duma (1889-1904 and 1905-1908).

Sergei Ivanovich launched extensive construction in Yakhroma: two barracks for 2,500 people, four houses for employees, two new bridges, a new brick factory, a school, a theater are being built... The first electric light bulbs in the Dmitrov district lit up in the buildings and administrative buildings of the factory in 1900- m year, thanks to the efforts of their owners, who invited the well-known company Ericsson for electrical equipment.

An old narrow-gauge railway approaching the factory gates, along which nothing has been transported for a long time...

Prices were also revised towards the maximum - workers' wages increased. A worker of average qualification received about 20 rubles a month - an amount comparable to the pay of a teacher in a gymnasium in the city of Dmitrov.

However, threatening times were already approaching for merchants and manufacturers...

In 1911, apparently anticipating the coming difficult and tragic times, the Lyamins sold the factory to the famous industrialist and philanthropist Prokhorov, head of the Prokhorov Manufactory Partnership, with whom the Lyamins had long had business cooperation. This ended the “Lyamin period” in the history of the Pokrovskaya manufactory.

After the revolution of 1917, the descendants of the Lyamin family were mainly forced to emigrate (in 2008, the great-grandson of Ivan Artemyevich Lyamin, Ivan Ivanovich Lyamin, and his wife Louise, who currently live in France, visited Yakhroma), and the Pokrovskaya manufactory still exists , however, it is now oh so far from the scale of a century ago...

So, after wandering a little inside the factory, let's return to Kuznetsov Square.
In its center stands another military obelisk.

This memorial is dedicated to the memory of the residents of Yakhroma who went to war and did not return from it...

Another place for recreation for residents of Yahrom with small children is the Children's Park, adjacent to Kuznetsov Square - behind a cozy wooden fence on a specially designated area there are many houses, swings and carousels, on which little people happily climb

And next to it is a nice flower shop “Romashka”...

And hardworking gnome gardeners

Another monument to the soldiers of the 1st Shock Army who liberated the city from a short-term occupation - this time to the valiant artillerymen. The ZIS-5 gun was installed on December 3, 1966, during the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Moscow.

The mosaic end of the house, glorifying the work of Yakhroma weavers, was apparently also quite tattered in the turbulent 90s, as a result of which part of the panel disappeared into space or was expropriated by local craftsmen

Another semi-abandoned red brick object was discovered by me at the back of the Yakhroma bakery. This is a former barracks for workers who were resettled at the turn of the 90s, and since then the building has gaped with empty window sockets and is slowly collapsing. Curiosity, of course, prompted me to go inside.

Yakhroma is a town near Moscow, located on the river of the same name and the Moscow canal. The name of the city comes from the Finnish word "jahr", which means "lake". Initially, there was a settlement of Finno-Ugric tribes here.

The history of modern Yakhroma begins in 1841, when a cloth factory was built on this territory. A workers' settlement was formed at this factory, which received city status in 1901. During the Second World War, a grandiose battle took place here, during which the city came into the possession of either the Germans or Soviet soldiers. Currently, the city is famous for its ski resorts and historical and religious monuments.

This is the first shrine built in the village of Peremilovo, which is now part of the city of Yakhroma. The church was built in the middle of the 16th century in honor of Archangel Michael. However, in the 40s of the next century, the temple underwent reconstruction and was consecrated in honor of the Ascension of the Lord.

In 1792, when Stepan Apraksin became the owner of the cathedral, the shrine was rebuilt again. Now it has become not wooden, but stone. The temple looks like a four-pillar building with one dome, made in a classical style with pseudo-Gothic elements.

Location: Peremilovskaya street - 93.

The cathedral was built at the end of the 19th century with the money of the manufacturer from Moscow Ivan Artemyevich Lyamin. The construction of the shrine lasted about 3 years, and on the day of its opening, a sumptuous lunch was given to factory workers and local residents.

The temple made an indelible impression on everyone with its size, since it was designed for 4 thousand people, and the fact that, standing on a hill, it towered above all other city buildings. During the Soviet era, the church was closed and turned into a warehouse, and during the Second World War, a hospital was located in its basement. Since the 90s of the last century, the temple has been operating again, and a Sunday school has been opened there.

Location: Konyarova street.

Construction of the church began at the end of the 17th century, however, it was suspended due to the invasion of Napoleon Bonaparte. After the end of the war, the construction of the shrine continued and lasted about 20 years. The church was built in a classical style from stone and brick, on top of which there is plaster.

During Soviet times, the church was looted and its clergy were shot. The temple reopened in the 90s of the last century, restoration work was carried out and is now open to parishioners.

Peremilovskaya Height is the place where during the Great Patriotic War fierce battles between Soviet soldiers and the Nazi invaders took place. In 1966, one of the most significant monuments to a Soviet soldier in the entire Moscow region was erected here.

The thirteen-meter sculpture, made of bronze, depicts the figure of a soldier who rushes to attack. In his left hand, raised above his head, he holds a machine gun. The monument is installed on a pedestal 15 m high. Poems dedicated to the battles in this territory are carved on the pedestal.

It is located on the Moscow Canal and is decorated with pilasters, columns and porticoes. However, the main distinguishing feature of this attraction is its two towers, which were installed in the 30s of the last century.

These towers are topped with Santa Maria caravels made of bright red copper. "Santa Maria" is a ship that belonged to Christopher Columbus himself. During the Second World War the gateway was slightly damaged, however, it was later restored. These caravels are also depicted on the city's coat of arms.

This is a very popular sports and entertainment area in the Moscow region. The park is located in a picturesque area and is decorated in Alpine style. The infrastructure is highly developed here, there are restaurants and a hotel.

In the summer you can go cycling in the park, and in the winter you can go skiing. In addition, there are many modern attractions and a rich leisure program for visitors of all ages.

Thanks to its magnificent nature, the park has popularly acquired the name of Switzerland near Moscow. In the center of the park there is a mountain high 225 m, where 10 ski slopes are open, equipped for visitors with any level of training. There are also modern ski lifts and special elevators for young visitors to the resort. In addition, there is a playground for children. Thanks to modern equipment, snow cover remains here until April.

There are 15 slopes in the park, equipped for both avid skiers and beginners, a school of instructors and equipment rental are open. All paths are illuminated, so you can ride during the day and in the evening.

There are many cafes on the territory, and there are also houses for accommodation. In summer, you can play golf, basketball, tennis, ride bicycles or ride ATVs here. There are special playgrounds for children.

Yakhroma- a city (since 1940) in the Dmitrovsky district of the Moscow region of Russia, 55 km north of Moscow, the administrative center of the urban settlement of Yakhroma. The population of the city is 13,768 people. (2015). The city is not homogeneous: the only connecting link between the two parts of Yakhroma (former factory and station villages) is a bridge located away from residential areas.

Story

Church of the Intercession in the village of Andreevskoye, not far from Yakhroma

The name of the river and, accordingly, the city is explained from the extinct Meryan language as “lake river”.

There is, however, another version: “the name of the Yakhroma River, on which Dmitrov is located, was explained in this way: the Grand Duchess, who came to the site of the city of Dmitrov with Prince Vsevolod, allegedly stumbled while getting out of the cart and shouted: “I am lame.” .

The current Yakhroma arose in 1841 as a village at a cloth factory - the Pokrovskaya manufactory on the Yakhroma River.
