Berezniki, Russia

Berezniki is a large city in the north of the Perm Territory, the center of the chemical industry. Berezniki were built up mainly in the 1930s and were not of great interest to the traveler. Nevertheless, it is almost impossible to pass them on the way to Usolye, moreover, it is very likely that you will have to spend the night there. If you have a few extra hours of time, you can spend them looking at the Stalinist architecture of the center of the Berezniki church, and for quite amateurs there are houses with cracks in the walls, formed due to grunting and industrial landscape to check. The latter, by the way, in a certain amount come through the Kama from Usolye.

Berezniki is a rather old industrial city, but it carefully hides its history. The settlements on the left bank of the Kama opposite the Usolye, apparently, date back to the 16th century and were originally associated with salt mines. One of them is the village of Zyryanka, where the Church of John the Baptist, the oldest building in Berezniki (mid-18th century), still stands, but threatens to collapse. In 1883, the first soda plant in Russia was built on the outskirts of the village. Its appearance preceded the opening in 1879 of the railway from Chusovoy - the second railway in the Urals).

The village of the old soda factory, known as "Little Belgium", could have been a good city landmark, but now it has disappeared into the industrial area and is practically inaccessible. The official and at the same time no less romantic name of this village, Berezovy Ostrov, gave its name to the city, which in 1932 was taken from all the surrounding villages and the county town of Dedyukhin, which was subsequently flooded by the Kama Reservoir. The construction of Berezniki was connected with the project of an underground deposit of potash salts, but, unlike neighboring Solikamsk, here it is not limited to salt mining. The Berezniki chemical plant, aptly named by Paustovsky the "republic of chemistry", produces a wide range of products, in the case of a small amount contained in the ammonia and acid rooms. Connect the petals one by one to the crucibles. When he appeared, Konstantin Paustovsky appeared, describing these events in the story “The Giant on the Kama” (“Salt of the Earth”), and Var Shalamov devoted his anti-Roman “Vishera” to the frightening details of the local camp life (at the construction plant, prisoner labor was actively used).

Bereznikov's industry looks infernal. Its negative impact on the environment does not limit harmful emissions into the atmosphere. Mistakes in the extraction of salt led to the flooding of the mine, which has its own unpleasant features here: water is washed out of the salt rock, which leads to soil failures. The first trial of 2007 was also named after most people. Later, three appeared, three tested drugs destroyed the railway station, which they had still tried to save before. Everyone strives to eliminate the failures - they failed the sump, and further develop the situation in the remaining situation.

 

Destinations

In Berezniki (in the western part of the city, between the center and Kama) there are a huge number of industrial enterprises that create interesting industrial landscapes. Apparently, there is no point in specifically looking for them: it is enough to look around, for example, on the road to Usolye or to the Church of St. John the Baptist.

1 Church of John the Baptist, Kotovsky Street, 23 (You can only get there on foot, along Lenin Avenue to its southern end (Reshetov Square), then to the left along Maxim Gorky Street and further along the only open passage). The church was built in 1757 with the money of the Stroganovs in the village of Zyryanka, where they had their salt mines. The fields were closed due to exhaustion in 1772, but the village remained (it was located on the right bank of the Zyryanka River and separated from the church by a pond), and in the 1930s it became part of the city of Berezniki. The church was built in the baroque style typical for the middle of the 18th century. In 1933 it was closed, in 1991 it was reopened, and in 2013 it was closed again due to an emergency condition - cracks appeared due to soil failures in Berezniki. While the church stands and is available for external inspection, but what will happen next is not entirely clear.

2  Stalinist architecture. Berezniki was originally built up in the 1930s, and a complete ensemble of Stalinist architecture has been preserved here, from constructivism (for example, the Avangard cinema and the hospital on Demenev Street - bypass the main building on the right) to frank Empire style. The best examples are on Lenin Avenue and on Pyatiletki Street.

3  Ground failures. In the past few years, Berezniki has begun sinking soil associated with excessive and poorly calculated underground workings. They are mainly concentrated in the area of the railway station. You will not be allowed to look at them, since all the dips are fenced off with fences, but you can look at the destruction of houses near the dip zone. For example, houses in the area of Reshetov Square (the southern end of Lenin Avenue) have been evicted, surrounded by fences, and huge cracks are clearly visible on them.

4  Little Belgium (Former residential village at the soda factory). The city of Berezniki began with the settlement of the same name for visitors, built at the end of the 19th century at a soda factory. The two-story red brick buildings were built according to individual projects by an architectural bureau led by Alexander Turchevich. The village has been preserved to some extent, and now it houses the research laboratory of the plant. It is believed that the name "Little Industrial Belgium" was coined by Boris Pasternak, who got here in 1916, in connection with the similarity with the factory villages of Belgium and the fact that one of the founders of the plant, Ernest Solvay, was a Belgian. Now the village is located on the territory of the plant, free access is impossible. They say that the old buildings are shown as part of a tour of the museum of JSC "Uralkali".

5 Trinity Church (1688). It was built at the end of the 17th century near the salt mines in the village of Lenva, now part of the city of Berezniki. Actually, at first it was a residential building of the Shustovs, who owned the Lenvin crafts, but after a lawsuit with the Stroganovs, the Shustovs were expelled from their homes, and the house was converted into a church. What has come down to us is a red-brick ruins in the middle of a deserted peninsula on the Kama.

Etymology

The city got its name from the Berezniki salt plant, and the fishery was called "Berezniki" because it was located on Beryozov Island.

 

History

The first Russian settlements on the territory of the city appeared in the 16th-17th centuries on the basis of salt mines. For the first time in 1570 the village of Zyryanka is mentioned. In 1579, Abramovo was founded - the first Russian settlement on the territory of the modern city; in the same year, the repairs of the Chipmunks (Semino) were first mentioned. In 1670 a settlement appeared, and later the mountain town of Dedyukhin. In the 17th century, a number of settlements were formed near the salt pans - Lyonva, Berezniki, Veretie, etc.

From an article by O.D Gaisin: “The most important milestone in the history of the future city of Berezniki was the emergence in August 1883 in the Perm province on the left bank of the Kama, opposite Usolye, the first soda factory in Russia by the Perm merchant II Lyubimov. The Berezniki Soda Plant laid the foundation for modern Berezniki. The appearance of the area is changing, on the left bank of the Kama, opposite Usolye, by order of I.I.Lyubimov, the architectural and technical bureau of A. B. Turchevich designs a factory settlement with residential buildings, a school, a hotel and a theater. In a short time, by the beginning of the 20th century, a residential settlement of a soda factory was built. Boris Pasternak, who came to Berezniki on business, in a letter to SP Bobrov dated June 24, 1916, calls the plant "Lyubimov, Solve and Co" and the village under it "a small industrial Belgium". The Bereznikovsky soda plant JSC "Lyubimov, Solve and K." after its nationalization by the decree of the Supreme Council of the National Economy of September 28, 1918, was transformed in 1923 into the Bereznikovsky exemplary soda plant (combine) named after V. I. Lenin. "

The origin of the city was also caused by the unique (one of the richest in the world) Verkhnekamskoe deposit of potassium and magnesium salts. Directly on the territory of the city are the Bereznikovsky and Durymansky areas of the field with the balance reserves of potash salts of 2.4 billion tons.

On March 20, 1932, a meeting of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of the RSFSR was held, where the creation of a new city was documented (protocol No. 10). We listened to the draft resolution of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee "On the unification of the city of Usolye with the workers' settlements: Veretia, Dedyukhin, Lyonva, Ust-Zyryanka and Churtan of the Bereznikovsky district of the Ural region into one city of Berezniki with the expansion of its urban boundaries."

The Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of the RSFSR decided:
1. G. Usolye and the workers' settlements of Veretia, Dedyukhin, Lenva, Ust-Zyryanka and Churtan of the Bereznikovsky District of the Ural Region to merge into one city. To name the united city Berezniki.
2. The urban boundaries of the united city of Berezniki include the adjacent settlements with their estates and land: the village of Berezniki, art. Usolskaya Perm Railway and a pier of the same name on the Kama River, the village of Zyryanka, the village of Kamen (Sergiev), the village of Basevo and the newly emerged village on the territory of the agricultural Usolsky combine.
3. With regard to the assignment of the name "Berezniki" to the united city, submit it for approval by the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR and, upon approval ... publish. "

 

This decision was due to the fact that the above-mentioned settlements were in close proximity to each other, the workers of these settlements were mainly engaged in the construction of the firstborn of the chemical industry - a chemical plant. From the merger of these settlements into a single city, the importance of the City Council has grown immeasurably, and the management of the city economy has also improved. In the first five-year plan, Berezniki turned into a major center of the chemical industry. On the territory of the city, the construction of the giant of the chemical industry of the USSR - the Bereznikovsky chemical plant was completed, after the Great Patriotic War, a new branch of the mining industry - potash - was developed.

With the abolition of the Ural region in 1934, the city became part of the formed Sverdlovsk region, when the Perm region (now the region) was separated from it in 1938, it was included in its structure.

During the Great Patriotic War, the city fought the enemy, releasing everything necessary for the front and recruiting military units of the Red Army.
With the beginning of the war, Berezniki's industrial enterprises switched to the production of military products, which were produced both by local factories and factories, and by those evacuated from the western regions of the country.
And on the fronts during the war years, thousands of citizens took part in hostilities.

Back in the pre-war years (November 1939), with its headquarters in Perm, the 112th Infantry Division of the Ural Military District was formed (in June 1941, the 22nd Army was formed on its base).
The 524th Infantry Regiment, which was part of the division (commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Apakidze Valentin Andreevich), was stationed in Berezniki, and was staffed in a significant part by residents of the city.

 

In mid-June 1941, units of the division began to redeploy to the Western Special Military District. With the beginning of the war, the 112th Rifle Division took up defensive positions along the right bank of the Western Dvina River from Kraslava (Latvia) to Drissa (Belarus) and entered into battle with German troops on June 26, 1941. Then there were heavy defensive battles in the north of Belarus, in the area of ​​the Polotsk UR and near Nevel.
At Nevel, the division, including the 524th Rifle Regiment, was completely surrounded, from which less than 1/3 of the personnel managed to get out.
The 112th Rifle Division with its units, occupying a defensive zone on the right flank of the Western Front, held back the onslaught of superior enemy forces for more than three weeks.

From November 4, 1959 to February 1, 1963, Berezniki was the administrative center of the Berezniki region.

On February 5, 1971, the city was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.

In 1976, on the lands of the city (9 km from the development zone), the Yurchukskoye oil field with initial balance reserves of 37.1 million tons has been discovered, and since 1977 has been operated. Annual production of the field is 335 thousand tons of oil. A deposit of silicate sands Zayachya Gorka (balance reserves of 10.7 million m³, production of 276 thousand m³) is being developed, the Sukhanovskoye clay deposit (reserves of 2.1 million m³) is planned to be developed, and the PGM deposit (2 million m³) is a reserve.

Cave ins in Berezniki

In mid-October 2006, one of the BKRU-1 mines of OJSC Uralkali was flooded. In the middle of summer (at the end of July 2007), a failure formed over the workings. The line of the federal railway fell into the failure zone, the traffic on which had to be closed for a long time. The construction of a new railway bypassing dangerous sections was completed only at the end of 2009, until that time a temporary reserve road was operated with great difficulty. Not far from the failure zone (less than 1 km) were residential buildings.

On November 25, 2010, in the city on the territory of the station, a new failure of the subgrade 20 meters deep, 50 meters wide and 50 meters long was formed. One of the train cars fell into it. According to the press service of Russian Railways, signaling, centralization and communication cable lines, 4 contact network supports, 3 turnouts and the first track of the freight fleet were disabled. The management of JSC Russian Railways sent appeals to JSC GALURGIYA, the Mining Institute of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and JSC Uralkali in order to confirm the stability of the railway infrastructure at Berezniki station and the possibility of its further use. On November 28, 2010, the operation of the Berezniki station was suspended. On November 29, 2010, the failure reached a size of 100 by 40 meters. The operational headquarters of Russian Railways is working at the scene of the incident. On December 1, 2010, from 6:00 Moscow time, taking into account the preparatory work, the movement of trains outside the danger zone was resumed at the station. On June 22, 2011, the size of the failure is 117 by 70 meters with a maximum depth of about 90 meters. In 2011, another sinkhole formed near the second sinkhole near the railway station.
