Shuya is located in the Ivanovo region. For two hundred years, the Shuya princes owned the Shuya, the most famous of which was Vasily Shuisky. Historically, Shuya was the center of the soap and textile industry. Therefore, apparently, the city emblem is a yellow bar of soap on a red background.
Shuya developed according to regular plans of 1788 and
1834. On the territory of the settlement there are public buildings
(early 19th century, classicism), Kiselevskaya hospital (1841-1844,
classicism), a house of industriousness (1900, in the spirit of
eclecticism) and a number of others.
In the central part of the
city there are the estates of the merchants Zhukovs (1730s), Posylins
(first half of the 19th century, picturesque ceiling of the living
room), Shchekoldins (19th centuries), Neburchilovs (19th - early 20th
centuries), M. A. Pavlov (sereida of the 19th century) - the beginning
of the 20th centuries, the interiors were made in the spirit of
eclecticism), the Rubachevs (1880s), the Listratovs (1910s,
neoclassicism), the city government building (1806, 1904-1905), the
Noble Assembly (1901, architect K.V. . Tersky), a guest courtyard
(according to the project of 1815, architect G. Maricelli), water towers
(1883, architect V. O. Sherwood; 1927, according to the system of
engineer V. G. Shukhov).
Also on the left bank of the Teza there
are architectural complexes of the largest Shuya factories: the Posylins
and M.A. Pavlovs (XIX - early XX centuries), the Popovs (second quarter
of the 19th - early 20th centuries) and the Neburchilovs (second half of
the 19th - early 20th centuries).
In Shuya there are cart scales
(“vazhnya”) - a unique architectural object of federal significance, the
only pavilion with scales for carts preserved in the country. Measuring
scales have been located on the Central (formerly Trade) Square since
the 1820s. The structure has the shape of a classic portal with columns
supporting the roof. The author of the project is called the architect
Maricelli. In 2015, a complete restoration of the crumbling facility was
carried out, for which more than 10 million rubles were allocated from
the federal budget.
By 1917 there were 20 churches in the city.
On
the territory of the settlement there is the Intercession Cathedral
(1754). The following churches have also been preserved: Holy Cross
(1693, rebuilt in 1823, paintings by T. Medvedev in the 1820s), St.
George the Great Martyr (1703, rebuilt in 1817 and 1838). On Green
Square stands the temple ensemble of the St. Nicholas Cathedral (1756;
northern aisle - 1833), the Resurrection Cathedral (1792-1798, expanded
in 1912-1913) and the bell tower (1810-1833, architects Maricelli, E.
Ya. Petrov). On the northwestern outskirts of the city there is the
Church of the Transfiguration (St. Nicholas the Wonderworker) (1833).
The complex of the Resurrection Cathedral of the early 19th century
is famous for its 106-meter bell tower - the first in Europe among
belfries standing separately from churches. In 1891, the seventh largest
bell in Russia (weighing 1,270 pounds) was raised to the third tier of
the bell tower. It was cast in Moscow at the expense of the largest
manufacturer M.A. Pavlov. Since 1991, the Resurrection Cathedral has
been the courtyard of the St. Nicholas-Shartomsky Monastery - the Shuya
Orthodox monastery, known since 1425.

Untrained driver is recommended to drive on Shuya with extreme caution. Pits in the asphalt are very significant and often quite deep. At the same time, road lighting leaves much to be desired.
The old part of Shuya is located on the left, elevated bank of the
Teza River (the left tributary of the Klyazma), and on the right bank,
in a less elevated area, is the new part of the city (Zarechye), which
is divided by the Sekhoi River into two suburbs, connected by a
permanent bridge. The district began to be built up only in the 1830s;
previously there was arable and meadow land here.
The city is
located 32 km southeast of the regional center of Ivanovo and 310 km
northeast of Moscow. The Teza River (a tributary of the Klyazma) flows
through the city from north to south, its length within the city limits
is 6.6 km. The Sekha (flowing into Teza) and Motovilikha (flowing into
Sekha) also flow through the city.
The name is mentioned in the Nizhny Novgorod chronicle in 1393, and
since 1403 the surname of the Shuisky princes, derived from the name of
the village, has been known. The city was first mentioned in 1539, and
before that time it was known for some time as Borisoglebskaya Sloboda,
named after the church of the noble princes Boris and Gleb.
Historian and local historian Shui V.A. Borisov, who lived in the 19th
century, was inclined to believe that the name is of Slavic origin, from
shuits, “left hand.” Shuya really lies on the left bank of the Teza
River.
Modern geographer E.M. Pospelov wrote that the name was
formed by the location of the village at the confluence of the Shuya
River and the Teza River (the left tributary of the Klyazma); hydronym
Shuya from Finnish Suo oja - “swampy” (suo - “swamp”, oja - “river,
stream”). However, there is no river named Shuya in this area.
In the 20th century, not far from Shuya, ancient burials (the
so-called Semukhinsky mounds) dating back to the Volga trade route of
the 10th-11th centuries were discovered.
According to historian
K.E. Baldin, Shuya arose during the period of the Mongol-Tatar yoke. The
city was founded no later than the 15th century.
In 1387-1448, the Shuya principality existed.
Since 1403, the
Shuya princes have been mentioned, who owned Shuya for almost 200 years.
The Shuisky family originates from Vasily Kirdyapa, one of the princes
of Suzdal. A representative of this family was Vasily IV Shuisky
(reigned 1606-1610), after him the Romanov dynasty ascended to the
Russian throne. As legends say, Vasily Shuisky often visited his estate
to engage in falconry. In the village of Melnichnoye (now the
northeastern suburb of Shuya), according to legend, the Tsar’s daughter,
Princess Anna, is buried. In the Shuisky Kremlin (now the territory of
Union Square) there were siege yards that belonged to Prince Ivan
Shuisky, Prince Dmitry Pozharsky and others.
The first documentary evidence of Shuya dates back to 1539. Under
this date, Shuya is mentioned in the Nikon Chronicle among the cities
devastated by the Kazan Khan Safa-Girey, and it is from this date that
the city dates its chronology. Before this, the city was known as
Borisoglebskaya Sloboda, in honor of the Church of Saints Boris and Gleb
located in it.
The old city consisted of a Kremlin, a fort and a
posad. This settlement with an area of 370×270 m was located on the left
bank of the Teza River at the confluence of the Sekhi River. The Kremlin
was surrounded by an earthen rampart stretching from east to west 122,
from south to north 114, and in circumference 522 fathoms. On the
rampart there was a wooden wall with four towers at the corners and
three gates, which were called: Nikolsky to the east, Teleshevsky to the
south, and Tainitsky to the west. In the fortress there were wooden
churches - the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos and Alexy the Man
of God, a prison, a labial courtyard, a hut, a voivode's courtyard; the
houses of princes and boyars - the Shuiskys, Cherkasskys, Babkins,
Sobakins and others, the courtyard of the Nikolo-Shartomsky monastery,
the palace villages - Dunilova, Gorits and Lezhneva. By the beginning of
the 21st century, only fragments of ramparts and a moat remained from
the fortifications.
Ivan the Terrible, during his campaign
against Kazan in 1549, visited Shuya and in 1565 included it, along with
other 19 cities, in the oprichnina (1565-1572), declaring it his
property. Then in 1572, according to the spiritual charter of Ivan the
Terrible, Shuya, among other cities, was inherited by his son Fyodor.
The letter says: “And I bless and give to my son Theodore a golden
cross, the city of Shuya and other cities.” In 1576, Ivan the Terrible
granted the city of Shuya “land for new courtyards, a mill and from
local lands near the city of Shuya and planting 10 long dessiatines on
all four sides with all the land for livestock production.”
During the Time of Troubles, the residents of Shuya refused to follow
the example of the Suzdal residents, who swore allegiance to the
impostor known as the Tushino thief. They saw that they were threatened
with death from the impostor for this, however, despite the threats of
the Poles and Russian rebels, they remained faithful to their rightful
Tsar Vasily Shuisky.
In 1609, Shuya was taken and destroyed by
Polish-Lithuanian troops and the forces of the Suzdal governor Fyodor
Pleshcheev (Smerdova)[2]. That year, the Shuya militia acted against the
Poles under the command of boyar Fyodor Sheremetev.
In 1619 Shuya
was ravaged by Polish-Lithuanian troops and Cossacks.
At the
beginning of the 17th century - the beginning of the 1730s and since
1833 there was a pier on the Teza River.
In 1629, 1662, 1668,
1710, 1766, 1770, 1792 and 1847, Shuya suffered from fires, often
destroying almost all buildings.
In 1654, the Shuya residents
were struck by a deadly pestilence that raged from September 1 to
October 12. At that time, 560 people died from the ulcer; 610 remained
alive.
In May 1682, boyar Artamon Matveev stopped in Shuya on his
way to Moscow from his place of residence - the city of Lukha. He then
passed with great pomp, no longer as a disgraced boyar, but as a famous
boyar.
In 1708-1778 - a district town in the Moscow province, from 1719 - in
the Yuryev-Pol province of the Moscow province. In 1778-1796 - a
district town of the Vladimir governorship, in 1796-1918 - in the
Vladimir province.
In 1722, on his way to the Persian campaign,
Peter I visited Shuya. He stopped in the city to fulfill his promise to
venerate the local shrine - the miraculous Shuya-Smolensk Icon of the
Mother of God. The icon was painted by the Shuya icon painter in
1654-1655, when a pestilence was raging in the city. Soon after the
painting of the icon, the epidemic stopped, and the image of the Mother
of God, according to legend, revealed miraculous healings of the sick.
Peter I also once got rid of his illness and wanted to take the
miraculous icon to St. Petersburg. The townspeople, having learned about
this, fell to their knees before the king and begged him to leave the
icon in its place in the Church of the Resurrection.
In 1729, the
daughter of Peter I, Princess Elizabeth, lived for some time in Shuya,
who loved to hunt in the surrounding forests.
In 1781, Empress
Catherine II issued a decree on the formation of the Vladimir
governorship and approved the first coat of arms of the city of Shuya.
The coat of arms was a shield divided into two parts. In the upper part,
a lion-like leopard standing on its hind legs is a symbol of the
provincial city of Vladimir; in the lower part - “on a red field there
is a bar of soap, meaning the glorious soap factories located in the
city.”
In 1837, while traveling around Russia accompanied by the
poet Vasily Zhukovsky, the future Emperor Alexander II visited Shuya.
Having become acquainted with the sights of the city, the Tsarevich
honored with a visit to the home of the most famous townspeople - the
richest merchants Posylins and Kiselyovs.
According to data for
1859, 8,555 people (675 houses) lived in the city.
In 1868,
traffic was opened along the Novki-Ivanovo railway line laid through
Shuya.
In 1897, the city had 77 streets (of which 35 were paved);
2250 houses (437 stone and 1822 wooden); There were 12,190 male and
10,082 female residents.
Shuya was a large trading center with developed handicraft
production, one of the main Russian centers of soap making, and from the
second half of the 18th century - weaving). In 1629, a Gostiny Dvor was
mentioned in Shuya (on the site of the modern Gostiny Dvor).
The
development of industry and trade in Shuya was facilitated by the city's
convenient location on the navigable Teza River. Out-of-town and foreign
merchants came to Shuya to trade - in 1654, in Gostiny Dvor there was a
shop of the English-Arkhangelsk trading company. At the same time, Shuya
was known for its fairs.
The textile industry developed - the
production of linen fabrics. Canvas weaving was carried out in many
peasant huts and in the houses of the townspeople of the city of Shuya
on wooden weaving mills. From the middle of the 18th century, weaving
linen manufactories appeared in Shuya. In 1755, the merchant Yakov
Igumnov opened the first linen manufactory, as proof of which he was
given a ticket from the Shuya voivodeship office to set up a factory.
Soap making was the city's oldest industrial sector. The first
mention of him is in the scribe book of Afanasy Vekov and clerk
Seliverst Ivanov in 1629. Already in the 16th century, the industrial
character of the city of Shuya was determined. Along with soap making,
another ancient craft of Shuya was sheepskin and fur making. It
especially flourished in the 16th-17th centuries, which is why Tsar
Vasily Shuisky was popularly called the “fur coat maker.”
By the
end of the 18th century, cotton had conquered the world market. The
Shuya merchants of the Kiselyov dynasty were the first entrepreneurs to
organize the supply of cotton yarn from England not only to Shuya, but
also its surroundings.
In the 19th century, a number of large
industrial enterprises were founded in Shuya.
The factories of
the merchant Posylin brothers developed rapidly. Alexey Posylin was the
first to set up a paper spinning mill with 11,000 spindles, operated by
steam engines. The products of Poslin manufactories were awarded a large
gold medal at the First All-Russian Exhibition of Manufacturing Industry
in St. Petersburg in 1829. Writer Dmitry Shelekhov noted in the middle
of the 19th century: “This merchant house in Shuya has been rich from
time immemorial, prudent and persistent in the execution of its planned
enterprises, it has all the means, material and immaterial, to make its
spinning factory one of the first institutions in the state.”
In
1897, there were 29 factories and factories in the city; the amount of
their productivity was 12,494,160 rubles. in year; there were 10,691
workers.
Soviet power was established in the city on October 26 (November 8),
1917. In 1918-1929 - a district town in the Ivanovo-Voznesensk province.
From 1929-1936 - the administrative center of the Shuya district and in
1929-1930 - the administrative center of the Shuya district of the
Ivanovo Industrial Region. Since 1936 - the administrative center of the
Shuisky district of the Ivanovo region.
Several military
formations were formed in Shuya:
In September 1918, the headquarters
of the 7th Infantry Chernigov (formerly Vladimir) Division was formed;
In 1939, the 266th Corps Artillery Regiment was formed;
In September
1941, based on the 594th heavy cannon artillery regiment of the ARGC
located in Shuya, four artillery regiments were deployed:
594th
Cannon Artillery Regiment,
602nd Cannon Artillery Regiment,
701st
Cannon Artillery Regiment,
642nd Cannon Artillery Regiment.
Also in Shuya, in the “Kitchen Factory” building, Zheleznodorozhnaya
Street, Building 2 (later Vocational School No. 11), there was the 354th
Reserve Infantry Cadet Regiment, which trained conscripts before sending
them to the front.
On March 15, 1922, residents of Shuya, mostly workers, came out to
the central square to prevent the removal of church valuables from the
city's Resurrection Cathedral. To suppress the popular uprising, the
authorities used military force and machine-gun fire was opened. Four
Shuyang (according to other sources - five), and among them a teenage
girl, were killed on the spot.
In connection with these events,
on March 19, the Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the
RSFSR, V.I. Lenin, drafted a secret letter, qualifying the events in
Shuya as one of the manifestations of the general plan of resistance to
the decree of Soviet power on the part of the “most influential group of
the Black Hundred clergy” and proposing their arrest and execution.
On March 22, the Politburo of the Central Committee of the RCP (b),
based on a letter from Leon Trotsky, adopted an action plan for
repressions against the clergy. It included the arrest of the Synod, a
show trial in the Shuya case, and also indicated: “Proceed with
confiscation throughout the entire country, completely without dealing
with churches that do not have any significant values.”
Less than
two months later, on May 10, 1922, the archpriest of the cathedral Pavel
Svetozarov, priest John Rozhdestvensky and layman Pyotr Yazykov were
shot.
In 2007, a monument to the clergy and laity killed in 1922
was erected on the square near the cathedral.
