Etymology and toponymy

Naryan-Mar is the name from Nen. "Naryana mar", which means "Red City". Even before the founding of the workers' settlement, on March 10, 1931, the Nenets Okrug Executive Committee discussed the issue of renaming the settlement "Beloshelye". Everyone could offer their own name for the future capital of the Nenets Okrug. The following options were proposed: Vyngy Mard (Tundra City), Eday Mard (New City), Nenetsk, Leninsk, Pechorsk, Polyarny, Oleny. The commission on toponymy settled on the "revolutionary" name Naryan-Mard. On December 18, 1931, the Presidium of the Nenets Okrug Executive Committee adopted a resolution that, in view of the inconsistency with the understanding arising from the word "Mard", the name of the workers' settlement should be written "Naryan-Mar". The working village of Naryan-Mard (Red City), united the territories and population of the village of the sawmill (which bore the name of F. E. Dzerzhinsky from 1930 to 1937, Beloshchelye, the villages of Kalyush, Karmanovo (Gorodetsky), Nosovo (Kachgort) and the village of Yokusha. Etymology of the inhabitants points included in Naryan-Mar:
"White gap" - means a white coast ("gap, gap, gap" - stone, smooth, gentle coast);
"Karmanovo" and "Nosovo" were named after the names of the first settlers. Karmanovo in the 1930s was renamed the village of Gorodetsky (from the hydronym Gorodetsky Shar), and Nosovo was renamed Kachgort - “the place where magpies live” (“katsha” - magpie, “gort” - house);
"Yokush" in translation from Komi means "perch"

History of Naryan-Mar

Background

The idea of building a city in the lower reaches of the Pechora River arose long ago. A rich animal world, beautiful places, a large navigable river, the opportunity to trade in timber - all this attracted people to the North. Information from Russian chronicles leaves no doubt that the region of the Lower Pechora was well known already from the 12th century. Here, the local tribes - Yugra, Pechera - first carried out barter with the Russians. Pustozersk appeared in 1499. In the XVIII-XIX centuries, new villages and villages appeared on the banks of the mouth of the Pechora; Velikovisochnoe, Oksino, Telviska, Kuya - whose inhabitants were engaged in traditional farming, fishing and hunting, reindeer breeding.

In the 1860s, Arctic explorers Captain P.I. Kruzenshtern, merchant V.N. Latkin and merchant M.K. Sidorov studied in detail the fairway of the Pechora River and organized the Pechora Company, which was engaged in the export of the Pechora forest. M. K. Sidorov dreamed of building a seaport on the Pechora, as well as a city that would be called Yugorsk. For 16 years, he tried to obtain six acres of land for the construction of the port, but the land was never allocated to him.

In 1892, the first single-frame sawmill appeared on the Pechora near the village of Kuya, owned by the industrialist A. M. Sibiryakov. However, the sawmill soon burned down. In 1897, on the shore of the Gorodetsky ball opposite the village of Yokusha, a sawmill was built by the Swedish partnership Alfred Lidbek and Co. But after some time, this plant was also destroyed by fire.

Since 1897, the Partnership of the Arkhangelsk-Murmansk express shipping company has established sea voyages between Arkhangelsk and the lower reaches of the Pechora (Kuya village).

In 1903, on the territory of modern Naryan-Mar, the Pechora sawmill was founded, created by the Stella-Polyare partnership, headed by the Norwegian timber merchant Martin Olsen.

 

Foundation of the city

The predecessor of Naryan-Mar, the settlement of Beloshchelsky (Beloshchelye), is mentioned in the List of populated places of the Arkhangelsk province on May 1, 1922. Then there were 29 people in five courtyards.

In 1924, the first building of the future city of Naryan-Mar was built in Beloschelye - the agency of the Northern Shipping Company. The building was built by a team of carpenters under the leadership of A. S. Durkin. The staff consisted of eight people. Also, 2 frame warehouses and a shed were built, which were dismantled for the winter.

The decision to build a new city and port on Pechora was made at a meeting held on board the steamer "Umba" on October 7, 1929 at the pier of Beloshelye. The meeting was attended by Archport chief engineer V.V. Dembovetsky, head of Sevportiz (Bureau of Northern Port Surveys) G.Ya. Nalivaiko, chairman of the Nenets Okrug Executive Committee I.A. Questions were discussed at the meeting about the port construction work planned in 1930 at the mouth of the Pechora and about measures to provide these works with labor, building materials and food. On October 22, 1929, the Nenets Okrug Executive Committee signed an agreement with the engineer Orlov on "surveying a land plot" in Beloschelye, where the city was to be built.

In 1929, the construction of the Nenets House and a hospital began in Beloschelye.

On September 4, 1931, a meeting of the commission of the Arkhangelsk Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks and the Regional Executive Committee of the Northern Territory was held on September 4, 1931 in Beloshchelye according to the final documents of the meeting on board the steamer Umba. They listened to the only question - "On the construction of the Pechora port." It was decided to build 100 linear meters by the beginning of navigation in 1932. m. of berths, and by September 1932 another 150 linear meters. m. The main reason for the construction of the port was the discovery by geologist G. A. Chernov in 1930 of the Vorkuta coal deposit. For the delivery of coal to the consumer, as well as cargo for the construction of the Vorkuta mines, there was only one way - through the Pechora port. This is how the working village of Naryan-Mard (Red City) was formed, uniting the territories and population of the village of the sawmill (which bore the name of F. E. Dzerzhinsky from 1930 to 1937), Beloshelye, the villages of Kalyush, Karmanovo (Gorodetsky), Nosovo (Kachgort) and the village of Yokusha . The name Naryan-Mard was given to the newly formed settlement by a decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of October 10, 1931. The first buildings on the territory of the future city are a residential barrack for 65 people, an eight-apartment building, a canteen, a post office, a Nenets House, a hospital, and a printing house.

The decision of the Presidium of the Regional Executive Committee of the Northern Territory of October 7, 1931 recognized the need to transfer the center of the Nenets National District from the village of Telvisochnoye to the working settlement of Naryan-Mard. The same decision obligated the Nenets Okrug Executive Committee no later than November 1, 1931 to create a city council on the territory of the working settlement of Naryan-Mard approved by the All-Russian Central Executive Committee.

On December 18, 1931, the decision of the Presidium of the Nenets Okrug Executive Committee was adopted:
In view of the inconsistency with the understanding arising from the word "Mard", the name of the workers' settlement should be written "Naryan-Mar".

By a decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of March 2, 1932, the administrative center of the Nenets National District of the Northern Territory was transferred from the village of Telvisochnoye to the working settlement of Naryan-Mar.

On April 9, 1934, the 5th Plenum of the Nenets Okrug Executive Committee adopted a decision to transform the working settlement of Naryan-Mar, in which more than 8,000 people lived, into the city of Naryan-Mar. On March 10, 1935, by a decree of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, the working settlement of Naryan-Mar of the Nenets District of the Northern Territory was transformed into a city.

Pyrerka Street), Zapolyarny Avenue (now Smidovich Street), Olennaya Street (since 1936 it is I.P. Vyucheisky Street) and Polyarnaya Street.

Economy

Departure level
The Nenets Autonomous Okrug as a whole ranks first in Russia in terms of GRP per capita - almost 7 million rubles per person per year. For comparison, in Moscow - 1 million 200 thousand, in the Krasnodar Territory - about 500 thousand, in Ingushetia - 100 thousand. Naryan-Mar is most likely the richest city in Russia (there are no completely reliable data on this, GMP per capita is estimated primarily for large cities). The highest standard of living of the population is not so obvious due to high prices for basic goods and services, and migration attractiveness is reduced due to the harsh climate. It is expected that due to global warming, an economic boom will come to the city, the district and the Arctic macroregion as a whole (see GRP per capita, Climate change in Russia, Global warming.
