Bakhmut (from 1924 to 2016 - Artyomovsk) is a city in the northern
Donbass, in the north-east of the Donetsk region. Known as a place of
salt extraction, as well as the largest factory in Eastern Europe for
the production of sparkling wines in the classic bottle way.
The
city is located on the Bakhmut River, 89 kilometers northeast of
Donetsk. It was founded in 1571 as a border guard "Bakhmutovskaya
watchman", which later turned into a fortified settlement. In 1701,
Peter I ordered to build a fortress on Bakhmut and rename the settlement
into the village (fort) Bakhmut. A settlement was formed here in the
17th century; in 1703 a fortress was built. Since that time, salt works
began to work in Bakhmut. And at the end of the 19th century, with the
discovery of large reserves of rock salt in the Bakhmut basin, the
number of spears and mines increased dramatically and the city became
one of the main salt producers of the Russian Empire, then the USSR and
Ukraine.

It is located on the Bakhmut-Toretskaya Upland of the Donetsk Ridge on the Bakhmut River, 89 kilometers northeast of Donetsk. Bakhmut is located 3 km from the highway E40 M03 (Kyiv-Kharkov) and 7 km from the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal, which is of great importance for the city's water supply.
The climate in Bakhmut is temperate continental. The average monthly air temperature in January is −5.9°C, in July +21.7°C. It is characterized by hot and dry summers and changeable, sometimes cold winters.
In the middle of the 16th century, the Bakhmut fortress arose
(according to other sources in 1571), it got its name from the Bakhmut
River. In 1783 Bakhmut received the status of a city.
In 1924, it
was renamed Artyomovsk (Ukrainian Artemivsk) in honor of the Soviet
statesman F. A. Sergeev, known by his pseudonym Artyom. On September 23,
2015, the city council decided to return the name of the city of
Bakhmut. The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine approved the decision on renaming
on February 4, 2016.
It was founded in 1571 as a border guard "Bakhmutovskaya watchman",
which later turned into a fortified settlement. It was then that the
Russian Tsar Ivan the Terrible, in order to repulse the Crimean Tatars
and protect the southern border of the Russian state, ordered the
creation of border guards along the Aidar and Seversky Donets rivers. In
written sources for this year, the Bakhmut watchman is mentioned - the
6th out of seven, located "the mouth of the Black Stallion, half a
bottom from the Svyatogorsk watchman." There was no permanent population
in the sentry, since it was located on Cossack land (all the land along
the Bakhmut River belonged to the Don Cossacks), and they used it on a
rotational basis - primarily for the extraction of salt, which the
Cossacks did not interfere with. But salt production in those days was a
profitable business, and it was decided to "squeeze" these lands. The
Slobozhans made an attempt to build on the site of a temporary Cossack
town that had existed since about 1630 their numerous salterns on a
permanent basis, driving the Cossacks out of there.
In 1701,
Peter I ordered to build a fortress on Bakhmut and rename it into a
prison. In 1701, the state began to take a tax for the extraction of
salt from the lakes, and the Bakhmut salt works were ordered to be
transferred to the treasury. The state entrusted the protection of the
Bakhmut salt mines, as well as the extraction of salt for the treasury,
to the Bakhmut, Tor and Mayak Cossacks, who were organizationally united
in the Bakhmut Cossack campaign. There was even a special position of
"salt ataman", who received "Instructions" from the government and the
Salt Office. Since that year, the confrontation between the Don and
Izyum Cossacks began, who began to dig “salt” wells in the district and
displace the Don Cossacks from the “Bakhmut Yurt”. Donets and Izyum
residents complained to Peter about each other. The Don people wrote
that on the orders of the Izyum colonel Fyodor Shidlovsky, the Don
Cossack town was devastated, “all salt pans were destroyed, the chapel
was broken and all church utensils and books were taken away, ... he
imposed duties on the Bakhmut Cossacks from salt pans, took salt by
force to the treasury, ... exterminated hay meadows ... they knock down
from that new settled place, beat them with their violence, and scold,
and rob, and boast of mortal murders. The Izyum Cossacks "live for the
salt industry by accident, the mansion building is not a villager, and
they do not repair any fortress." Shidlovsky, in turn, wrote to Peter -
“in the past years until 1654, beyond the Belgorod line, beyond the
Seversky Donets River on the Crimean side, near the five salt lakes,
salt was cooked by visitors of all ranks, people, Russians and Cherkasy,
passing by and standing at that fishery with convoys, and in the same
year, by decree of his father (Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich), the blessed
memory of the great sovereign, for the fear of enemy people, built the
salty town of Tor (Slavyansk) and the Cherkasians were called to live
and tenacious in that city served in his Izyumsky regiment of company
service ... In 1701 those Tor residents searched in the dachas of the
Izyumsky regiment on the Bakhmut River, where salt is more profitable to
cook than Torskoy, ... without his colonel's knowledge, everyone went to
live on the Bakhmut River ..., from the cities of the Izyumsky regiment
and other Cherkasy regiments ..., Russians of all ranks, people, and
fugitive landlord people and the peasants came there, live arbitrarily
and do not serve any services, they are not in obedience to the colonel.
In the Torah, the sovereign’s treasury, cannon and green warehouses were
left without protection, the way was opened for the Tatars to
Slobozhanshchina ... "Therefore, Shidlovsky wanted to" decently build a
fortress in that place of Bakhmut and rewrite those inhabitants ... in
the Izyumsky regiment. In 1703, a fortress was built, which in 1704 was
subordinated to the colonel of the pro-government Izyum Sloboda Cossack
regiment Shidlovsky.
In the autumn of 1705, a detachment of Don
Cossacks, led by ataman Bulavin, captured the Bakhmut saltworks, which
later developed into the Bulavin uprising. At this time, in the western
Russian provinces, Russian troops repelled the invasion of the Swedish
army of Charles XII and the Bulavin rebellion became a "stab in the
back." After a series of victories for the rebels, the Bakhmut Cossacks
joined the rebellion. The Cossacks, allied with Bulavin, who came to
Bakhmut under the leadership of atamans S. F. Bespaly and T. Kordiaki,
were greeted with bread and salt. To suppress the Bulavin rebellion,
Peter was forced to allocate up to 20 thousand regular troops under the
leadership of Prince Vasily Dolgoruky. Brigadier Shidlovsky with the
Sloboda regiments inflicted a severe defeat on the Bulavins and Cossacks
on July 8, 1708 in the Krivaya Luka tract on the Seversky Donets. In the
detachment of the rebels there were up to 5 thousand Don and 1.5
thousand Zaporozhye Cossacks. In this battle, one of Bulavin's closest
associates, S. A. Drany, died, 1,500 rebels were chopped, trampled and
drowned in the Donets and swamps. Shidlovsky, through A. D. Menshikov,
reported to Tsar Peter that the remnants of the rebels who settled in
Bakhmut surrendered and asked for mercy, but “the thieves' place of
Bagmut was taken and burned, and the inhabitants were stabbed and killed
to death.” Peter, who visited the ruins of Bakhmut in 1709, ordered the
urgent restoration of the fortress and salt works. In 1710, a small
earthen fortress was founded on the opposite, left bank of the Bakhmut
River. After 1711, intensive expansion and strengthening of
fortifications began - “the fence was strengthened by a number of logs
dug into the ground in a position somewhat inclined to the embankment
and connected from above by a run, which was held by hooks ... with
large floods of the Bakhmut River and high clothes as a result.”
Historians and local historians repeatedly mention the appearance in
Bakhmut in 1711-1712. "Cossack regiment of Semyon Romensky". However,
this fact is not found anywhere in the studies of either
pre-revolutionary or Soviet historians. After the defeat in the Prut
campaign, Peter I ordered a military team from Taganrog to be
transferred to Bakhmut and 1450 "Cherkasy" of the Izyum regiment
assigned to the Bakhmut fortress.
In 1715, the Bakhmut and Tor
saltworks were transferred to the treasury as state-owned enterprises
with the administration of the Salt Board. Boyar Prince Dolgoruky
pointed out that in the fortress city there was a customs house, the
town hall of the Izyumsky regiment, “for the commercial trade of the
Izyumsky regiment of Cossacks, Tor and Mayak residents of all ranks” 15
barns and 9 forges, “arranged at the salting wells of the Izyumsky
regiment of Cossacks 140 salt pans, different cities of all ranks of
people 30 frying pans. The obligation to cook salt also allowed for
private fishing - “in Bakhmut, whoever cooks salt in a frying pan for a
day must pay 6 rubles to the treasury.” Up to 200 frying pans were
rented out. Salt production was hindered by natural disasters and
epidemics.
From July 1718 to October 1719, Bakhmut was empty due
to the plague, and revenues to the treasury amounted to about 50
thousand rubles. Therefore, in 1719, the captain of the Bakhmut
battalion Chirkov and Landrat Vepreisky asked the government to second
50 Cossacks from each Sloboda regiment (Izyum, Akhtyrka, Kharkov, Sumy,
Ostrogozhsk), 50 Chuguev horse Cossacks to Bakhmut. Each Cossack had to
get 4 poods of salt for each yard (a total of 24,092 poods per year).
On September 30, 1732, the Intercession Church was built and
consecrated in the city.
Since 1750, the walls of the Bakhmut
fortress have already become - "in the form of crowned walls 18 feet or
more in height." According to the Table of Fortresses of 1764, the
garrison consisted of 1 infantry battalion in peacetime, and up to 2,500
infantry and 150 horsemen in wartime, and according to the artillery
list of fortresses of 1765, Bakhmut had 60 cannons and 16 mortars.
In the middle of the 18th century Bakhmut became the administrative
center of Slavic Serbia.
In 1765, one of the first strikes of
workers at the enterprises of the Russian Empire took place here, the
so-called Bakhmut strike.
In 1783, Bakhmut was appointed a
district settlement of the Yekaterinoslav province.
Then in the
village there were 49 households, 48 kurens and dugouts, 29 salt wells,
1700 people lived. There were five brick factories, a candle factory, a
soap factory, a wax smelter, and six salotop factories. The village had
a store, about 150 shops, a hospital, three schools and two private
boarding schools for the children of wealthy parents, a Sunday school
for the children of workers. Bakhmut was the largest shopping center.
Twice a year - July 12 (the day of the Apostles Peter and Paul) and
September 21 (the day of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary) -
large fairs were held. The annual fair turnover was about a million
rubles. In 1782-1783 the fortress was closed.
The abolition of
serfdom in the empire and the attraction of foreign capital gave rise to
industrial production. In the 70s of the 19th century, glass, nail and
spike, alabaster and brick factories were built in the city.
In
1876, large reserves of rock salt were discovered in the Bakhmut Basin,
after which the number of mines and mines rapidly increased, and in 1874
I.P. Since 1879, various joint-stock companies began to build salt
mines. Salt production has reached 12% of the all-Russian.

1897, 19,316 people lived in the city. Of these, 11,928 people indicated
Ukrainian (Little Russian) as their native language, 3,659 people
indicated Russian (Great Russian), 3,223 Jewish, 116 German, 83 Polish,
etc.
After the construction of the Kharkiv-Bakhmut-Popasnaya
railway in the late 1870s, enterprises for the production of gypsum,
tiles, and soda appeared in the village.
By 1900, there were 76
small industrial enterprises in the city, in which 1078 workers worked,
as well as four salt mines (874 workers), which were part of the Bakhmut
salt syndicate. At the beginning of the 20th century, metalworking began
to develop.
By 1913, 28 thousand people lived in Bakhmut, there
were two hospitals with 210 beds, four secondary and two vocational
schools, six one-class schools, four parochial schools, and a private
library. In 1875, a water pipe was laid, in 1900 the streets were paved.

Bakhmutskaya Zhizn (published from July 20, 1914 to 1917).
After the February Revolution of 1917, the county Council of Workers'
Deputies was formed in the city. On March 15-17, the first regional
conference of the Soviets of Donbass (132 deputies from 48 local
Soviets) was held, which supported the idea of separating the Donbass
into a separate region and elected the Information Bureau headed by
Lipshits (the Bund party) to organize. In July, the Social Democratic
bloc won the elections to the renewed city duma (14 seats out of 40),
and the Menshevik Chervinsky was elected chairman.
In September
1917, after the Council and the Public Committee decided to destroy the
alcoholic beverages accumulated in the warehouses, "drunken riots" broke
out in the city (September 10-12). The townspeople were also joined by
the dragoons of the cavalry regiment. For suppression, cadets from
Chuguev and a company of the 25th regiment of the 4th reserve brigade
were sent to the city.
After the Ukrainian Central Rada announced
on November 7 (20) the "3rd Universal" about the creation of the
Ukrainian People's Republic, a yellow-blue Ukrainian flag was hung over
the Bakhmut district zemstvo council (now the home of the Artyomovsky
railway technical school) for the first time in the Donbass. Since the
summer in Bakhmut and adjacent villages, cells of the “Prosvita”
partnership and the structure of the “Free Cossacks” have been
