Severodvinsk Drama Theater, Lomonosov St., Severodvinsk, Arkhangelsk
region., 164501. ☎ 8(8184) 54-24-90. The theater was first opened in
1937 in the village of Sudostroy on the basis of the Arkhangelsk Theater
of Working Youth. The first performance of the theater was the play "The
Liar" based on the play by Carlo Goldoni.
On March 26, 1938, the
theater building was damaged by fire, and soon a new one was built in 28
days along Sovetskaya Street.
The nearest airport is in Arkhangelsk.
By train
The Pomorye
branded train runs to Severodvinsk from Moscow every other day,
alternating with a train to Arkhangelsk. Trains to Arkhangelsk run twice
a day, but they have no practical meaning, since they drag for almost 2
hours, whereas buses arrive in an hour.
Railway station.
By bus
Buses No. 133 from the Arkhangelsk bus station run every 15-20
minutes, about an hour on the way. Also, some long-distance routes
around the region depart from Severodvinsk, but then they still stop in
Arkhangelsk, since there is no other way to leave Severodvinsk. Passing
minibuses from Arkhangelsk are heading towards Onega, they do not enter
the city.
By car
Severodvinsk is the terminus of the federal
highway M8 "Kholmogory", originating in the city of Moscow. The
Arkhangelsk-Severodvinsk section of the highway was assigned to the M8
relatively recently at the request of local authorities due to the
inability of the local budget to maintain this highway in proper
condition in conditions of constantly increasing traffic intensity.
Construction of the Severodvinsk-Onega highway is currently underway,
however, due to sluggish financing, it is by no means at an Olympic pace
and it is not yet clear whether this section will belong to the M8 upon
completion.
After the bankruptcy of the municipal transport enterprise, the
entire volume of intercity passenger transportation is carried out by
private commercial enterprises on buses and minibuses.
Part of
the transportation is by taxi. The most popular taxi companies are 5
Minutes (tel. 598-555; mob. 8-953-934-05-55) and AutoLine (tel. 53-2222;
mob. 8-960-00-30-333). The signature feature of these companies is SMS
notification of the arrival of the car to the customer, which allows you
not to wait for a taxi on the street, which is very important in the
harsh northern climate. At the same time, the 5 Minutes company does not
charge additional fees for oversized luggage (suitcases, bags, string
bags, etc.), which is easily placed in the trunk of the car.
Shopping center City, shopping center Grand, TSUM, Raduga, shopping center Morskoy are all Russian brands and brands.

Since the beginning of the XII century, the lands along the banks of
the Northern Dvina were the possessions of Novgorod the Great.
The development of the coastal northern lands of Pomerania accelerated
due to the invasion of Batu and the devastation of Southern Russia.
The gradual colonization of Pomerania by Novgorod settlers with the
assimilation of the local Finno-Ugric population led to the formation of
a special subethnos of the Russian people — the Pomors.
V. N.
Tatishchev in his "History of Russia" gives the following definition of
the Pomeranian lands: "The common name is Pomorie, and according to the
counties: Arkhangelsk, Kolmograd, Vaga, Totma, Vologda, Kargopol,
Charonda and Olonets..." "There is a northern part of Russia, in which
everything is along the coast of the White Sea and the North Sea from
the border Karelia with the Finns to the east to the mountains of the
Great Belt or the Urals is concluded. To the south, since ancient times,
the Russians initially took over part by part and joined Russia. Now all
of this, and even now with a considerable addition, is under the rule of
the Pomeranian province."
English and Norman ships entered the
mouth of the Northern Dvina River until the XIII century, after which,
due to the onset of the Little Ice Age, it became impossible to walk
along the Northern Sea Route.
In 1419, in the historical
chronicles of Russia, the Nikolo-Korelsky Monastery was first mentioned
as a monastery and monastery.
On August 24, 1553, in the Dvina
Bay of the White Sea, near the village of Nenox, one of the English
ships anchored, looking for the northeast sea route to China and India,
under the command of Captain Richard Chancellor. Then the British moored
in the Bay of St. St. Nicholas, near the Nikolo-Korelsky monastery.
Russian Russian Tsar Ivan the Terrible After establishing his first
contact with the locals, Chancellor went to Kholmogory (at that time the
capital of the Russian North), and from there, after the ice break, on a
sleigh to Moscow, for an audience with the Russian Tsar Ivan the
Terrible. After the meeting with the Russian tsar, for the first time in
history, diplomatic relations were established between Russia and Great
Britain, and the Moscow Company was founded in London, which
subsequently received monopoly trading rights from the tsar. Later,
Chancellor became the British ambassador to Ivan the Terrible. Now one
of the streets of the city on the island of Jagra is named in honor of
Richard Chancellor. To ensure maritime trade, an anchorage with
warehouses and residential buildings was equipped opposite the
monastery, on the island of Yagry. Sea vessels were unloaded there and
goods were reloaded onto small river vessels, which took him to
Kholmogory, and from there — deep into Russia. Russian goods from
Kholmogory also came here, and many British expeditions left from here.
The port was known in foreign sources as St. Nicholas ("raid of St.
Nicholas").
In 1584, the city of Novokholmogory was founded,
known since 1613 as Arkhangelsk, and gradually, with the growth of
Arkhangelsk, the Nikolo-Korelsky Monastery and its port began to lose
their former commercial importance.
The basis of the monastery's
economy in the XVII century was the fish and salt industries, as well as
cattle breeding.
In the Time of Troubles, after the liberation of
Moscow, the Polish troops of Jan Chodkiewicz ravaged the northern lands,
causing great damage to the Nikolo-Korel monastery.
In 1808-1809,
fortifications were built near the monastery against the possible
arrival of British ships. After the Peace of Tilsit, relations between
Russia and England were on the verge of war. British ships captured
Russian merchant ships in the northern seas.
In 1854-1855, during
the Crimean War, the Anglo-French squadron blockaded Arkhangelsk,
fishing near the Nikolo-Korelsky Monastery and throughout the White Sea.
By 1917, the monastery was in severe disrepair, with only 6 monks
and 1 novice living in it.
In 1921, the monastery was liquidated,
for some time there was a colony for juvenile delinquents "Kommunar",
and in 1929 the agricultural commune "Iskra" was formed in it.
On May 31, 1936, the Politburo of the Central Committee of the
CPSU(b), the Council of Labor and Defense of the USSR, on the basis of
the conducted surveys, adopted resolution No. 0-137cc on the
construction of a shipbuilding plant in the area of the Nikolsky mouth
of the Northern Dvina. The construction was called Shipbuilding.
The country needed a large plant on the coast of one of the seas of the
Arctic Ocean. The place in the delta of the Northern Dvina was chosen as
the most protected from the sea, due to the narrow neck of the White
Sea.
On April 1, 1937, by a decree of the Central Executive
Committee, a new settlement at the shipyard of the Primorsky district of
the Northern Region received its official status and was classified as a
workers' settlement. In 1938, Sudostroy received the status of a city
and the name "Molotovsk" in honor of the Soviet party leader V. M.
Molotov.
By order of the People's Commissar of Heavy Industry of
the USSR Sergo Ordzhonikidze dated May 29, 1936, Ivan Tarasovich
Kirilkin was appointed head of construction of the shipbuilding plant
and the working settlement of Sudostroy.
Two streets of the
village of Sudostroy have been built, auxiliary enterprises have been
built: a concrete plant, a reinforcement shop, mechanical workshops, a
brick factory, diesel power plants.
The settlement of Sudostroy
and further the city of Molotovsk were built and expanded simultaneously
with the growth of construction and production activities of the
shipyard (Shipbuilding Plant No. 402).
In 1938-1953, there was a Yagrin correctional labor camp. Initially, it was located on the island of Jagra, which gave it its name, then branches appeared in other parts of the modern city. There were also camp sites in nearby villages. At various times, the camp contained from 5 to 31 thousand people (according to some sources — up to 50 thousand). At the same time, more than 9 thousand people died in the camp only during the period 1940-1945. The prisoners built factories, a port, houses and roads, felled forests and extracted sand for the construction of a city in a swampy area.
Since the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the city of
Molotovsk, together with Arkhangelsk and Murmansk, was one of the main
ports receiving cargo from the lend-lease allies.
For many years,
the history of the northern convoys was associated only with Murmansk
and Arkhangelsk. Severodvinsk (Molotovsk) at the same time remained as
if in the shadow. In the USSR, due to the characteristic activities of
the main industrial enterprises, they tried to mention the city as
rarely as possible.
Meanwhile, the Molotov port bore the brunt of
those military transport operations.
The first winter of the war
turned out to be harsh and navigation began very hard. The preparation
and arrangement of berths in Molotovsk were carried out in a hurry. A
representative of the State Defense Committee, I. D. Papanin, appeared
in Molotovsk, who was urgently elevated to the rank of rear admiral by
this time.
In December, representatives of the US Navy arrived in
Arkhangelsk to organize permanent American missions at the cargo
reception sites. In Molotovsk, the mission's office is located at 13
Parkovaya Street. His work was headed by Assistant Attache Philip
Worchell.
On December 23, 1941, the linear icebreaker Joseph
Stalin with great difficulty conducted the transports of convoy PQ-6 to
Molotovsk. Convoy PQ-6 turned out to be the last Allied convoy to break
through the ice to the berths of Arkhangelsk and Murmansk in 1941.
On the first day of the summer of 1942, two PQ-16 transports arrived
in Molotovsk. They delivered tanks, planes, explosives, gasoline and
food.
Molotovsk, like Arkhangelsk, received the surviving
remnants of the defeated convoy PQ-17. Unfortunately, today we cannot
yet list all the PQ-17 vessels that have become on its raid and berths.
The grave consequences of the PQ-17 tragedy are known.
By the
winter of 1942-1943, the situation in the northern directions
deteriorated sharply. The enemy sought to cut the Kirov railway — the
land connection with Murmansk would then be interrupted.
On the
instructions of the government and the People's Commissar of the Navy,
Arkhangelsk and Molotovsk became the main "consignees" of Lend-Lease.
Moreover, Molotovsk (because of the heavy ice on the Northern Dvina and
the shallow waters of its channels) now the main role was assigned
during the winter navigation period. Moreover, by this time, on the
initiative of I. D. Papanin, the improvement of the Molotov port and the
nearby oil depot had been completed. In the summer of 1942, a powerful
crane appeared in the Molotov port to unload "heavyweights", the depths
in its waters were increased, and a line of berths grew, one of which
was equipped for bunkering icebreakers and steamships with coal.
In the 1950s, it was decided to transfer the plant to the
construction of nuclear submarines, and soon it became the main Soviet
enterprise for the production of strategic submarines.
By Decree
of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR No. 733/2 dated
September 12, 1957, the city of Molotovsk was renamed the city of
Severodvinsk.
The city of Severodvinsk began to develop rapidly.
The population grew dramatically, including at the expense of local and
visiting young professionals. Shipbuilding and citywide enterprises were
actively working, and housing construction for shipbuilders was sharply
increasing in Severodvinsk. In just 30 years, about 130 nuclear
submarines were built and put into operation in Severodvinsk with
high-quality maintenance and repair support.
After the collapse
of the Soviet Union, Severodvinsk was awarded the status of the State
Russian Center for Nuclear Shipbuilding.
The shipyards Sevmash,
Zvezdochka, the city and all enterprises of the nuclear shipbuilding
center gradually barely survived the crisis of the 1990s, managed to
adapt to modern market conditions (active participation in tenders for
government orders, fulfillment of orders from other countries, a variety
of products) and return to a stable existence.
On August 8, 2019,
after the explosion of a rocket propulsion system at the Nenox test site
of the Belomorsky Naval Base in the Dvinskaya Bay of the White Sea, in
Severodvinsk, sensors of the automated radiation monitoring system
located on Karl Marx Street, house No. 48 and Plyusnina Street, house
No. 7 recorded a short-term increase in the radiation background to 2
mSv/h. Roshydromet reported that in 6 out of 8 observation points in
Severodvinsk, gamma radiation dose rate exceeded 4-16 times compared to
the background value of 0.11 mSv/h. According to the Northern
Directorate for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring, an
increase in the dose rate of gamma radiation at ASCRO posts is
associated with the passage of a cloud of radioactive inert gases
The city is located near the Nikolsky mouth of the Northern Dvina
River at its confluence with the White Sea on its Summer Shore, 35 km
northwest of Arkhangelsk.
The area of the Severodvinsk
municipality, which includes the city of Severodvinsk and nearby
settlements, is 1193.49 km2, which is more than the area of Moscow
within the Moscow Ring Road. This fact is due to the fact that in
addition to the city of Severodvinsk, a large forest area to the south
and west of the city is included in the boundaries of the municipality
of Severodvinsk. The area of the city within the city limits is 120.5
km2.
Due to the northern location of the city, it is sometimes
possible to observe the aurora borealis.
The climate of Severodvinsk is temperate and humid, with long cold
but not harsh winters and short cool summers. The average temperature
range of the warmest (July) and coldest (January) months is about 25 °C
(over the past 10 years) . The maximum amplitude over the last 10 years
was 72.2 °C.
Summer in Severodvinsk is cool, with an average July
temperature of 13-20 °C, with the highest precipitation in August.
Winter in Severodvinsk is cold, but not harsh, due to the proximity of
the Atlantic, constant weak but warm cyclones, and the location right by
the White Sea (due to the heat capacity, the water gives off a lot of
heat in winter). The average January temperature over the past 10 years
has been -9.4 °C. Anticyclones in January and February bring frosty and
clear weather, setting annual temperature lows up to -43 °C (1978).
According to the combined data of NASA:
The average annual air
temperature is 1.3 °C
The relative humidity of the air is 75.9 %
The average wind speed is 3.0 m/s
In Severodvinsk, due to the strong windage, the flatness of the
region, as well as being near the Arctic Ocean, sometimes there are
near-storm and gale-force winds with gusts up to 30 m/s.
The
storm of November 15, 2011
In November 2011, a strong storm passed,
still the largest in the 21st century. For a whole day, the wind speed
was above 10 m/s, gusts reaching 23 m/s. The Kambalitsa microdistrict
was flooded. The water from the sea came close to the residential
buildings on Makarenko. The Shikhirikh bridge was flooded, and the
village was fenced off from the continent. In Severodvinsk itself, many
trees were felled and wires were cut. 70 houses were damaged. 3
billboards fell, the doors of the entrances were draughty. Slabs with
windows from the 3rd floor fell out of one new building. The embankment
of Zryachev was actually dilapidated: the water so washed away the
foundation that the asphalt collapsed.
August 22, 2018
On this
day, the largest storm in five years occurred. The average wind speed
for 6 hours fluctuated around 14-25 m/s (depending on the proximity of
the sea) and reached high power. The cyclonic wind tore out 2,000 trees.
About 30 cars and the same number of residential buildings were damaged.
70 m2 of roofs were torn out, 14 lighting poles were knocked down.
Railway communication with Nenoksa has stopped due to the collapse of an
embankment near the railway track along the White Sea. In neighboring
Arkhangelsk, water communication with the islands of the Northern Dvina
Delta was stopped. 448 houses of the Severodvinsk "old town" were left
without electricity. At 18 o'clock, an emergency regime was introduced.
The consequences of the storm were eliminated for 120 days. At the
same time, it can be considered that the island of Jagra was lucky,
because on the same day the island of Brevennik was overtaken by a
flood. The next day, on August 23, the Severodvinsk-Nenoksa train on
duty was still in place. For 6 days, many courtyards of the city, even
in the continental part, were plunged into darkness. 20 days later, on
September 11, there was no lighting in 19 of the 95 blocks. By the end
of October, most of the effects of the storm had been eliminated, and by
December 20, the services had uprooted most of the tree stumps and
disposed of them. However, the effects of the storm on the Jagr
embankment in the form of washed-away sand are still present. The damage
amounted to about 1.7 million rubles, but the exact economic losses were
not calculated and may vary.
October 28, 2020
On October 28,
2020, due to strong wind gusts of up to 20 m/s in the continental part
of the city, the roof surface of one house broke off, and one tree fell
onto the balcony. No one was injured. However, the storm again exposed
the foundation of the Alexander Zryachev embankment on Yagry Island
As in Arkhangelsk, White Nights are observed in Severodvinsk from May 17 to July 27. Lighting in clear weather allows you to navigate without outside light on the street and even read. The longest daylight is 21 hours and 33 minutes on the summer solstice. The polar day does not go at the latitude of Severodvinsk, but even at the nadir you can see the rays of the sun in the north. The shortest daylight is 3 hours and 52 minutes on the winter solstice. There is also no polar night in the city.
Ecologically, Severodvinsk can be classified as a problem area. The
city's environmental problems are based on both its northern
geographical location and the location of the largest nuclear facilities
of shipbuilding and ship repair enterprises in it.
It is also
necessary to take into account the potential danger of the low-level
nuclear waste disposal facility located about 20 kilometers away on
Mironova Mountain[60]. As part of the Federal Target Program "Nuclear
and Radiation Safety of Russia", the storage of solid radioactive waste
on Mironova Mountain has been transferred to an environmentally safe
state.
Also, on the Severodvinsk island of Yagry, sand has been
washed off the beach for many years. According to local history
ecologist Alexei Klimov, this may have been happening since the time of
Molotovsk and World War II. To date, visual data has shown the washing
of sand from the beach: the exposure of the foundation in 2008, the fall
of the "two pines" during the storm of 2018. The problem became
especially urgent after the storms of November 15, 2011 and August 22,
2018.
Severodvinsk has:
JSC PO "Northern Machine-building Enterprise"
(former plant No. 402, PO "Sevmashpredprize", SMP enterprise)
(construction of the main nuclear—powered vessels of the Russian Navy -
nuclear submarines of the 4th generation, repair and modernization of
large surface cruising ships of the Russian Navy and foreign customers
(light aircraft carrier of India), construction of civil vessels,
construction of marine equipment for the development of offshore
hydrocarbon deposits, production of consumer goods); Thus Severodvinsk
is the de facto capital of the Soviet-Russian submarine industry .
JSC Zvezdochka Ship Repair Center (former plant No. 893) (repair and
modernization of nuclear and large diesel-electric submarines, surface
ships and civilian vessels, military-technical cooperation with foreign
countries, technical supervision and maintenance, mass disposal of
nuclear submarines based on a unique technology that has no analogues in
the world the world of infrastructure for the integrated industrial
utilization of submarines and surface ships with nuclear power plants of
all types and projects, production of propellers of various classes and
purposes for all types of vessels, including for the large Arctic
icebreaking fleets of the USSR and the Russian Federation (including the
world's largest nuclear icebreakers Lenin, Russia, Siberia, Arctic,
Taimyr) and underwater nuclear-powered vessels of the Northern Navy of
Russia, construction of civil shipbuilding and mechanical engineering,
production of ship furniture and consumer furniture, cutting of diamonds
into diamonds within the framework of a long-term conversion project
based on industrial extraction of rough diamonds at the M. V. deposit.
Lomonosov, the creation of a diamond wholesale network, both in Russia
(Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Kostroma, Kazan, Volgograd, Kaliningrad,
Severomorsk, Arkhangelsk, Severodvinsk) and abroad — in the State of
Israel (Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan) and the USA (New York). It is planned to
organize the sale of diamonds in Beijing (China). Zvezdochka continues
its new line of activity, which was discovered in 2005 — the creation
and development of space infrastructure in terms of manufacturing sets
of technological equipment, technical and launch complexes of launch
vehicles. The company has manufactured launch table designs for the
universal launch complex of the Angara space rocket complex (the general
customer is the Khrunichev Federal State Unitary Enterprise GKNPC). The
launch table is mounted at the Plesetsk cosmodrome. In 2020, JSC TS
Zvezdochka is building a cable refueling tower, transport and
installation units and other specialized equipment for the launch
complex of the Angara family of missiles.
With the arrival of Grigory Lazarevich Prosyankin, director of the
Northern Machine—Building Enterprise, an unspoken division of work was
adopted as the basis for the work of the city-forming enterprises of
Severodvinsk - the NSR manufactures "atomic" means, and Zvezdochka is
able to dispose of them. It has been performed and is being performed
for many years and now.
Adopted in October 2001 and implemented
since January 2002, but the unfinished concept of strategic development
of the municipality of Severodvinsk for the period up to 2010 set one of
the main goals of obtaining the status of Severodvinsk science city.
In 2010, the Government of the Arkhangelsk Region adopted and
approved the "Comprehensive Investment Plan for the development of the
single-industry city of Severodvinsk for 2010-2020."
The total
amount of financing for the Integrated Investment Plan for the
development of the Severodvinsk single-industry town is about 40 billion
rubles.
The key investment projects are the projects of technical
re-equipment of the enterprises of JSC United Shipbuilding Corporation
and the development of entrepreneurship.
There was a partially
state-supported construction project at Sevmash, together with the
Zvezdochka enterprise, for a new shipyard designed to build ships with
large displacement, including civilian vessels.
Investment
projects for the development of the Severodvinsk single-industry town
for 2010-2020 require: reconstruction of the bridge over the Nikolskoye
estuary of the Northern Dvina, construction and reconstruction of the
Arkhangelsk Highway, construction of a highway connecting Okruzhnaya and
Yubileynaya Streets, reconstruction of engineering infrastructure for
wastewater and wastewater.
For the first time in recent decades,
Severodvinsk has received large federal funds for its development. The
basis of the city was and remains the most powerful shipbuilding and
ship repair complex.
But today it is necessary to overcome the
mono-profile structure of the city's economy so that Severodvinsk gets
rid of the prefix "mono". A comprehensive investment plan has been
developed for this purpose.
Severodvinsk actively supports small
businesses. The city authorities do their best to promote the
implementation of economically profitable business ideas by ordinary
citizens.
Trade and food industry enterprises, individual and private
commercial activities are successfully operating and developing in
Severodvinsk.
In addition to the Central Department Store (TSUMA)
and the Raduga department Store built during the Soviet period,
commercial organizations have successfully introduced into trading
activities: the Yuzhny hypermarket (converted from the Severodvinsky
food complex), the Belomorsky multifunctional shopping complex, the
Grand multifunctional shopping center, the City multifunctional shopping
center, the multifunctional shopping center the Morskoy Center, the
Sputnik multifunctional shopping center (converted from a loss-making
cinema), the M-15 shopping and office center.
Severodvinsk's
industry is also represented by its own food industry enterprises:
bakery, meat processing plant, dairy, etc.
CHP 1 and CHP 2 of Severodvinsk before switching to gas
The main
suppliers of electricity and hot water for the citizens and industrial
enterprises of Severodvinsk are Severodvinsk CHP-2 with a capacity of
410 MW, powered by natural gas, and Severodvinsk CHP-1 with a capacity
of 188.5 MW, powered by coal.
In terms of energy produced in the
region, they are second only to the Arkhangelsk CHPP with a capacity of
450 MW.
In 2009, the main natural gas pipeline was brought to
Arkhangelsk and successfully tested.
Gazprom planned to start
bringing gas to other consumers of the region in 2011.
On
December 24, 2011, the transition to gas and Severodvinsk CHP-2 took
place, which significantly improved the efficiency of the CHP and the
ecology of Severodvinsk.
