1992. By plane you can get to the nearest airports in Gelendzhik (~15
km), Anapa (~40 km) and Krasnodar (~170 km).
By train
The
Novorossiysk railway station is the terminus for numerous trains coming
from different parts of Russia to the Black Sea coast. Daily trains to
Moscow, Perm, Vladikavkaz, Rostov-on-Don. And also 5 electric trains a

There is no direct railway
connection with Sochi, only with a change in Krasnodar or Tuapse.
Railway station, Zhukovsky st., 16. ☎ +7 (800) 775-00-00. In a small
building there are two halls, a cash register and a waiting room. Inside
is a grocery store and a couple of coffee machines. The bookcrossing
counter gives some zest to the station - here you can put a book you
read on the road and take another one in return. On the forecourt there
is another shop and a snack bar. Luggage storage is located right on the
platform of the first track (150 rubles per day for one bag).
By
bus

South of Russia. It takes 1 hour to Anapa and Gelendzhik, 3 hours to
Krasnodar, 3.5 hours to Tuapse, 7 hours to Sochi.
Bus station,
Chaikovskogo st., 15. A tiny station, the passenger traffic through
which has long exceeded its capabilities. Along the perimeter of the bus
station there are a number of eateries and food stalls, but they do
little to brighten up the waiting for the bus. The station accepts only
intercity buses, and suburban routes (including to Abrau-Dyurso) depart
from a site nearby.

Sea port.
The transport system of Novorossiysk is confusing and inconvenient,
if you do not set yourself the goal of exploring it, take a taxi.
The railway station is located some distance from the center and
stands "with its back to the city." The only trolleybus number 6 runs
from the station square to the center. The bus station is indicated on
the route plate of this trolleybus, but it does not go through the bus
station - from the nearest stop of the Kutuzovskaya trolleybus to the
bus station it is still almost 500 m.
An alternative to a
trolleybus is to leave the station and cross the long bridge to the
industrial area. After a 300-meter walk through the territory of the
Novorossiysk fuel oil terminal, you will come to stop 5 "Magistralnaya
Street", where you can catch any transport connecting the north-eastern
regions with the center.
Malaya Zemlya is located 5 km from the
city center, it makes no sense to go there on foot. From the center to
Malaya Zemlya you will be taken by minibuses 21, 27, 28 and some others,
the route of which passes “through the plane”: although the stop at the
memorial is officially called “Malaya Zemlya”, it is known to the city
residents only as “the plane”.

monument to the Unknown Sailor. Following along the embankment along the
Frunze Park, you will come to the Cape of Love, on which a monument to
the dead sailors of the Urup fishing seiner is installed. Further on the
embankment there is a monument "Exodus", dedicated to the evacuation of
the white army from the city. At the end of the embankment is the temple
of Peter and Fevronia under construction.

several attractions, mainly dedicated to military periods. The first are
the ruins of the cement workers' palace of culture and the
monument-ensemble "Line of Defense" located not far from each other. You
can also see a tank near the ruins, and a railway car shot by the Nazis
near the memorial. At the exit from the city, a Novorossiysk stele was

It is better not to walk on the outskirts of the city at night. In Methodievka and Tsemdolin, it is better to be careful even during the day, however, most likely, you do not need to go there.
From the 1st century AD until the middle of the 3rd century. AD there
is a rise in economic life in the ancient settlements in the region. In
the area of the present village of Myskhako, the village of Baty is
localized, which is mentioned in his "Geography" by the Greek scientist
Strabo. In the III century. AD the village of Bata, like many centers of
trade, was devastated by the Gothic tribes. In the 18th century, the
Turkish fortress Sudzhuk-Kale was located on the territory of the future
Novorossiysk. One of the largest slave markets in the Northwestern
Caucasus was located in the Ottoman fortress.
There are various
versions about the date of foundation of Novorossiysk. Versions of the
earlier foundation of the settlement include the date of foundation of
the Turkish fortress Sudzhuk-Kale at the beginning of the 18th century.
The names coming from the Sudzhuk-Kale fortress have been preserved in
modern urban toponymy - Sudzhuk Spit, Sudzhuk Lagoon, Sudzhuk Island,
Sudzhuk Lighthouse.
In 1829, according to the Adrianople peace
treaty, the territory of the Tsemess Bay passed from Turkey to Russia.
However, the local Circassian population did not recognize the power of
the Russian military administration for a long time. On September 12,
1838, the ships of the Russian squadron entered the Tsemess Bay, 5816
people under the command of N. N. Raevsky and M. P. Lazarev landed on
the ruins of the Turkish fortress. This day is now celebrated as the
date of the founding of the city.
February 28 (March 12) and
March 1 (13), 1855, during the Crimean War, the Anglo-French squadron
(English ships: wheeled 20-gun steam frigate, screw 28-gun frigate,
13-gun corvette, 4-gun gunboat, French wheeled 2-gun armed steamer, 67
guns in total) bombarded Novorossiysk. A hospital, an arsenal and a
number of other buildings were damaged in the fortress. An unequal
battle was waged by the First Primorskaya Coastal Battery, hastily
installed in the area of Cape Love (there was no stationary coastal
artillery in Novorossiysk): 4 18-pounder guns, 3 12-pounder guns and 3
mortars with a firing range of up to 1000 fathoms. It was possible to
achieve several hits on the ships, after which they retreated to the
entrance to the bay and stopped shelling (there were hits on the
gunboat, and when leaving the bay, the corvette was taken away in tow).
1 gun was hit on the battery, 6 gunners were killed and 6 were injured,
4 were shell-shocked. On March 2 (14), reinforcements arrived in
Novorossiysk from Anapa (5 companies of infantry, 4 hundreds of
Cossacks, the Anapa half-squadron), after which the Anglo-French
squadron retreated.
In May 1855, Novorossiysk as a fortress was
temporarily “abolished” (it was destroyed by its own defenders) in order
to avoid being captured by an enemy landing force from the already
captured Kerch. The territory was occupied until the end of the war by
the troops of the Ottoman Empire approaching from the south.
As
the Russian conquest progressed, the slave trade between mountain
suppliers and Ottoman buyers was gradually suppressed, but the trade in
live goods continued by smuggling until the final consolidation of
Russia in the Black Sea region after the Crimean War.
September
27, 1866 Novorossiysk becomes the center of the Black Sea District (the
Black Sea coast from Taman to Georgia; until 1896). The city then had
430 inhabitants. In 1882, the first cement plant was put into operation,
in 1888 the first train arrived in Novorossiysk, in 1893, the world's
first three-phase current power plant was put into operation next to the
Novorossiysk elevator. From 1896 to 1920 Novorossiysk was the center of
the Black Sea province.
On December 14, 1905, the Council of
Working People's Deputies appealed to the Novorossiysk people, the
townspeople were called to fight against tsarism. The Novorossiysk
Republic began its existence. On December 25, a detachment under the
command of General Przhevalsky arrived at the Tonnelnaya station, and
the battleship Three Saints anchored in the bay. The Council of Deputies
decided not to resist the tsarist authorities. A state of siege was
introduced in the city, people's deputies were convicted and sentenced
to hard labor, and 7 people were sentenced to death.
In February
1917, when the monarchy fell in the country, until November, the power
in the city was exercised by the commissar of the Provisional
Government. After the October Revolution, the power of the commissar of
the Provisional Government was liquidated on November 23-30, 1917. The
Central Executive Committee of the Soviets of the Black Sea Governorate
was elected; on December 1, the City Duma was dissolved and Soviet power
was established.
In March-May 1918, Novorossiysk was the center
of the Black Sea Soviet Republic within the RSFSR. From May 30 to July 6
as part of the Kuban-Black Sea Soviet Republic.
On June 18-19, by
order of V.I. Lenin, the Black Sea Fleet was flooded in the Tsemess Bay.
Since July 7, as part of the North Caucasian Soviet Republic. On August
26, 1918, the city passes under the control of the White Guards and
interventionists.
On March 12, 1920, white units began boarding
steamships for evacuation. The leader of the White movement in the South
of Russia, General Denikin, on the destroyer "Tsesarevich Georgy" left
the country from the port of Novorossiysk, by May 1 there were no White
Guards left in Novorossiysk and the May Day parade took place.
In
April 1930, the Novorossiysk power plant with a capacity of 22 thousand
kW was launched. In 1937, the Black Sea Fleet, flooded in 1918, was
raised from the bottom of the Tsemess Bay.
By 1940, illiteracy
had been eliminated in the city.
During the Great Patriotic War
of 1941-1945, most of the city was captured by Wehrmacht troops. In
1943, on the night of February 4, a landing force of 274 sailors landed
in the Stanichki area, seizing a bridgehead (later Malaya Zemlya), which
was held for 225 days until the city was completely liberated. September
16, 1943 the city was completely liberated.
On May 7, 1966, for
the steadfastness, courage and heroism shown by the defenders of
Novorossiysk during the Great Patriotic War, the city was awarded the
Order of the Patriotic War, 1st degree. On September 14, 1973, in
commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the defeat of the Wehrmacht
troops in the defense of the North Caucasus, Novorossiysk was awarded
the honorary title of Hero City with the Order of Lenin and the Gold
Star medal.
In 2018, the city of Novorossiysk celebrated 180
years since its founding.
The city is located in the Crimean sub-Mediterranean ecoregion, and
the climate in the Novorossiysk region is subtropical dry, close to
Mediterranean. In winter, air masses of temperate latitudes dominate
here, in summer - tropical. Every year, most often from November to
March (less often from September to April), a squally northeast wind can
occur in the Novorossiysk region, which is called the northeast or bora.
It occurs when cold air invades the Black Sea coast from the North
Caucasian plateau. At the same time, the masses of cold air flowing over
the mountains look like a giant descending "beard" from the side of the
city. When the north-east occurs, a sharp drop in air temperature occurs
(in a matter of hours, the temperature can drop by 10-15 degrees). In
addition to Novorossiysk, such a phenomenon is also observed on the
Mediterranean coast of France, on the Adriatic coast of Croatia (from
Rijeka to Split), on Novaya Zemlya, in the Urals and even in Antarctica.
In the period from two to three days to several weeks, the Novorossiysk
Bay becomes unnavigable. The wind speed reaches 30-70 m/s, so ships are
forced to go to the open sea during the storm. In the 19th century, the
duration of the north-east was about three months, but now it is usually
much less (mostly 1-3 days).
Floods have been common recently.
1848 - six sailing ships of the squadron of the Black Sea Fleet were
wrecked from a strong north-east. 57 sailors were killed.
1993 -
several ships sank in the Tsemess Bay, including fishing vessels. Five
sailors were killed.
1997 - the maximum wind force in gusts reached
62 m / s. The air temperature dropped to -18 °C. Classes in educational
institutions were stopped in the city, public transport did not work,
trees were pulled out by the wind, and power lines were cut off.
December 2002 - as a result of a storm and heavy icing in the port of
Novorossiysk, two ships sank. Schools were cancelled. The temperature
dropped to -15 °C.
February 2012 - a powerful hurricane with wind
gusts up to 45 m/s left more than 150 thousand residents of Novorossiysk
and Gelendzhik without electricity. The wind damaged the roofs of 63
residential buildings in the city. Kuban Governor Alexander Tkachev, who
visited the city on February 8, 2012, called Novorossiysk "an ice
apocalypse".
The average temperature of sea water in
Novorossiyskaya Bay varies from +7 °C to +12 °C in winter and from +20
°C to +30 °C in summer. In summer, especially in August, thunderstorms
and tornadoes, as well as heavy rains that can cause floods, are
possible on the coast, as well as over the water area of the bay. In
particular:
In August 2002, in the Novorossiysk region, as a
result of flooding caused by heavy rains and a tornado that came out of
the sea onto land, according to official figures, 62 people died. Most
of the dead were vacationers. Huge streams of water descending from the
mountains carried with them into the sea everything that came across
their path. Cars and even buses were washed out to sea.
On the night
of July 7, 2012, Novorossiysk, as well as nearby settlements, including
Krymsk and Gelendzhik, suffered from severe flooding caused by heavy
rainfall and the descent of water from the mountains. The catastrophe
was preceded by unprecedented heavy rains: 275 mm of precipitation fell
in Novorossiysk in 16 hours, while the monthly norm for these places is
about 70-100 mm.
The city stretches for 25 km like an amphitheater around the Tsemess Bay and is surrounded by the mountains of the North Caucasus. In the southwestern part, the city is bordered by spurs of the Navagir Range, approaching the city from the northwest, from the Anapa region. The highest point of the Navagir Range in Novorossiysk is Mount Koldun (447 m). On the north side, the city is pressed to the sea by the Markotkhsky mountain range, which stretches for another 50 km to the southeast up to Gelendzhik. The highest point of the Markotkh Range in the territory of Novorossiysk is Mount Sugar Loaf (558 m). Mountains protect the city from cold air masses coming from the continent. The narrow and shallow river Tsemes flows through the center of Novorossiysk. It passes through the industrial part of the city. In the southwestern part of the city there is Salt Lake, which the locals call the "estuary". It is notable for the fact that it is separated from the sea by a narrow strip of the Sudzhuk Spit. Abrau, the largest freshwater lake in the Krasnodar Territory, is located 14 km from Novorossiysk.
Novorossiysk is located in a seismically hazardous area. From
1799 to 1981, about 17 perceptible earthquakes occurred in the area
where Novorossiysk is located.
October 9, 1879 - Nizhnekuban

streets of the city, fearing aftershocks. Stucco cracked in some
houses as a result of the earthquake, cracks appeared in several old
buildings.

a depth of 10 kilometers.
September 11, 2021 - an earthquake with
a magnitude of 3.7 and an intensity of 2-3 cu. The epicenter was in

The city of Novorossiysk, like the entire Krasnodar Territory, is located in the time zone designated by the international standard as the Moscow Time Zone (MSK). The offset from UTC is +3:00 (MSK).
The city of Novorossiysk (a city of regional subordination) as an
object of the administrative-territorial structure of the Krasnodar
Territory consists of the following administrative-territorial units: 5
intracity districts (Vostochny, Central, Primorsky, Southern,
Novorossiysk) and 6 rural districts (Natukhaevsky, Raevsky, Myskhaksky,
Abrau- Durso, Verkhnebakansky, Gaiduksky).
The administration and
the Duma of the municipality, as of 2009, allocated the 5th separate
Novorossiysk district, which included 7 rural districts: Gaiduksky,
Verkhnebakansky, Raevsky, Natukhaevsky, Myskhaksky, Abrau-Dyurso,
Glebovsky rural districts, to which 22 rural settlements are
subordinate.
The first flag of Novorossiysk was adopted on September 10, 1999.
Description of the first flag: White cloth with a ratio of width to
length of 2:3 with blue waves at the bottom, the full coat of arms of
the city is placed in the roof. The heraldic description of the coat of
arms reads: “The coat of arms of the city of Novorossiysk is a golden
shield with a blue wavy tip, inside of which there is a black
double-headed eagle crowned with a crown with a scepter and an orb in
its paws; on the chest of the eagle there is a shield, on its red field
diagonally - order ribbons: the Order of Lenin and the Order of the
Great Patriotic War of the 1st degree; in the center on order ribbons is
the Gold Star medal. The shield is crowned with fortress tower
battlements and decorated with two gold anchors connected by the
Alexander Ribbon, the ribbon of the Order of St. Alexander Nevsky.
The current flag of Novorossiysk was officially approved on July 24,
2007. The description of the flag is as follows: The flag is a
double-sided rectangular yellow panel with a ratio of width to length of
2:3, carrying along the bottom edge a black wavy strip 1/5 of the width
of the panel with eight visible ridges. The roof depicts an eagle from
the coat of arms of the city, made in black, red and white. The overall
width of the figure is 1/3 of the length of the cloth.
The flag
of the hero city of Novorossiysk is made up of various elements that
form a single composition. All flag figures symbolize the city and its
inhabitants as warriors and workers. The black wavy strip reflects the
geographical location of the city on the Black Sea coast. The imperial
eagle, rare for Russian heraldry of the “Nikolaev” type, emphasizes that
the city was founded during the reign of Emperor Nicholas I. The
Orthodox eight-pointed cross, erected on an overturned white crescent
and placed on the red field of the shield on the eagle’s chest,
testifies to the historical victory of Russian weapons over Turkish on
the Black Sea shores of the North Caucasus. Yellow color (gold)
symbolizes power, greatness, generosity and glory. Black color
symbolizes wisdom, modesty, honesty and eternity of being. Red
symbolizes courage, bravery, celebration and beauty. White color
(silver) is a symbol of perfection, nobility, purity, faith and peace.
The emblem of Novorossiysk was officially approved by Emperor
Nicholas II on October 15, 1914. The description of the coat of arms was
as follows: in a golden field above a black wavy extremity, a black
double-headed eagle under a crown, in the paws of an eagle a scepter and
an orb, on the chest a scarlet shield, in which there is a golden
Orthodox cross over a silver overturned crescent. In 1994, the Soviet
coat of arms was replaced by a new one, partially repeating the
pre-revolutionary composition, but having peculiarities in details (the
drawing of an eagle, crown and shield, other colors of the elements of
the coat of arms). In 2006, the coat of arms of 1914, with minor changes
(crown added), was adopted as the coat of arms of the city. Description
of the modern coat of arms:
In a gold shield with a black wavy
extremity, a black double-headed eagle crowned with the Imperial crown,
with a scepter and an orb in its paws, on the sides of which there is a
shield, in the scarlet field of which is a golden Orthodox eight-pointed
cross, hoisted on a silver overturned crescent. The shield is crowned
with a golden five-pronged crown.
The anthem of Novorossiysk - Novorossiysk chimes (Opus 111b) was
written by Dmitri Shostakovich in 1960 for the Great Patriotic War
memorial located on the Heroes' Square, where it has been played
continuously on schedule since the opening of the memorial in 1960.
The score was written by the author by hand, it occupies 4 musical
sheets. Done in purple ink. On the fourth sheet, at the end, the author
put the date and signature. The original score is kept in the
Novorossiysk State Historical Museum-Reserve.
The city is the center of the Novorossiysk diocese of the Russian
Orthodox Church. There are at least 12 Orthodox churches, 3 Protestant
churches, 1 Armenian Apostolic Church in the city.
The city also
has a Lutheran church. There are several communities of Baptists, as
well as Rodnovers. Also on the territory of the city has its own house
of prayer Church of Evangelical Christians (Pentecostals). There is a
millenarian sect of Jehovah's Witnesses banned in Russia. Since the
early 1990s, the temple of the International Society for Krishna
Consciousness (ISKCON) has been operating in the city.

library, no reading room, not even a bookshop, I decided to donate to
the city for the general benefit of my rather significant library,
consisting of several thousand volumes on various branches of human
knowledge, and lay the foundation of the city library with this.
On March 1, 1894, on the basis of the personal library of E. E. Ballion,
consisting of 2909 books, the Novorossiysk Ballion Library was created.

subordinated to Novorossiysk Radio and Television LLC (“RTN”), which is
controlled by the regional property committee. The only daily newspaper
passed into state ownership back in 2006 and ceased to be independent.
All TV channels and print publications that once criticized the actions
of the city administration, for one reason or another, were closed or
changed ownership.
The history of the appearance of the first
media in the city
In 1887, the first printing house appeared in
Novorossiysk, and five years later, the first city newspaper. It was
called "Novorossiysk Leaf" and was published from 1892 to 1898. The
first daily newspaper in Novorossiysk appeared in 1902 and was called
the Black Sea Coast. Its creator was a successful employee of the
Vladikavkaz railway Fyodor Leontovich. The official censor of the
publication was the governor of the Black Sea province, Colonel E. N.
Volkov, but this did not prevent the editorial board from publishing
rather sharp materials in the newspaper.
Charity is not good for
hell, the streets are filthy, the lighting is disgusting, security is
poor; the bazaars are smelly; toshchi plantations; sidewalks with
potholes. ("The Black Sea coast" of December 31, 1903)
In 1905,
Leontovich closed the "Black Sea Coast" in protest against the
introduction of censorship by the leaders of the "Novorossiysk
Republic". The second publisher of the newspaper was the future Soviet
intelligence officer A. F. Filippov. During his leadership, the
newspaper had 82 lawsuits related to published articles. Subsequently,
the publication was closed permanently.
Print media of the city
at the present stage
At the moment, there is one daily city newspaper
in the city - Novorossiyskiy Rabochiy. It has been published since March
29, 1920 and is the oldest and largest in the city of all existing
publications. After the collapse of the USSR, the newspaper acquired a
private owner, but as a result of the transaction in mid-2006, the
newspaper became the property of the state. After that, some media
outlets expressed concern that the publication, "and before that not
distinguished by particular courage in relation to the authorities,"
could turn into "another herald" of the city administration.
Another popular social and political publication is the free weekly Nash
Novorossiysk (published since 2006). The city administration has its own
weekly socio-political newspaper Novorossiyskiye Vesti (published since
1999).
The largest number of media in Novorossiysk was in the
period from 2001 to 2004, when new publications and even a TV channel
appeared in the city before the mayoral elections. The newspapers 7 Days
of Kuban and Novorossiyskaya Respublika, which appeared at that moment,
were controlled by the structures of one of the candidates for the post
of mayor, State Duma deputy Sergei Shishkarev. Both newspapers
criticized Vladimir Sinyagovsky, at that time and. O. the mayor of the
city and the main rival of Shishkarev in the elections. Publications and
channels loyal to the city administration, on the contrary, criticized
Shishkarev. There was a real information war between the Novorossiysk
media, but Sergei Shishkarev was denied registration as a candidate for
mayor, and soon both of his newspapers were closed. The socio-political
newspaper Malaya Zemlya was also an independent publication, but it
ceased to exist in October 2005. Also, at one time, the newspapers Ves
Novorossiysk, Vecherniy Novorossiysk, Novorossiyskiye Novosti and the
first online newspaper Novorossiyskiye Vedomosti were published in the
city.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy, Admiral of the Fleet
Vladimir Kuroyedov, announced in February 2005 that two new naval bases
of the Black Sea Fleet would be created in the Novorossiysk region by
2017.
Until 2011, it was planned to build a ship basing point in
Novorossiysk. At the second stage, it was planned to build a second base
point, for which it was planned to choose a place "slightly to the
south." In connection with the Russian-Ukrainian agreements on extending
the stay of the Black Sea Fleet in Crimea until 2042, at present, all
construction programs have been curtailed and frozen for an indefinite
period, the funds allocated for them have been redistributed.
The
Novorossiysk naval base includes: a brigade of ships protecting the
water area, a battalion of marines, and part of the aviation of the
Black Sea Fleet. Since 2007, the berths of the former FSUE "Geoport"
have become the property of the Navy. Thus, at the moment, in addition
to the two berths of the Naval Base, five additional berths of the FSUE
"Geoport" are allocated for basing ships.
