Story

Foundation of the city

One of the oldest cities in the Far East. The Cossacks were the first to arrive here from the Russian kingdom in 1697. Cossacks in Avacha Bay, near the Kamchadal village of Aushin, on the shores of the Avacha Bay of the Pacific Ocean, laid out warehouses for storing yasak and founded a fort. Forty-three years later, according to previously compiled maps of the Kamchatka land, the Second Kamchatka Expedition of 1733-1743 arrived here on two packet boats on October 17, 1740. under the leadership of Vitus Bering and Alexey Chirikov. Name Petropavlovsky prison received from the names of the packet boat ships “St. Apostle Peter” and “St. Apostle Paul”.

The founder of the city is navigator of midshipman rank Elagin Ivan Fomich. On September 29, 1739, by order of the leader of the 2nd Kamchatka expedition, Vitus Bering, Ivan Elagin set off from Okhotsk to Kamchatka on the boat “Holy Archangel Gabriel”. He was instructed to describe Coast from the mouth of the Bolshoi River to Avacha Bay, continue researching Avacha Bay, compile its map, build warehouses and living quarters to stop the expedition, and also carry out measurements to determine the possibility of entry of large sea ​​vessels, since “at this bay there should be a building for housing, as well as for storing provisions for stores, and from the Big River to the said bay the seashore has not yet been described.” Bering discovered Avacha Bay in 1729 during the return of the First Kamchatka Expedition to Okhotsk.

On May 16, 1740, I. Elagin set off from the mouth of the Bolshoy River (Bolsheretsky fort) along the southwestern coast of Kamchatka and, rounding its cape, arrived at Avachinskaya Bay on June 10. The boat "St. Gabriel" was the first sea vessel in history to land on the shore in Avachinskaya Bay. Having examined the bay, Elagin began to describe the bay and chose a place for the construction of warehouses and living quarters on the northern shore of the Niakina harbor near the Itelmen camp of Aushina. The construction of the first houses of the Russian settlement began in June 1740 from pre-prepared timber and was completed by the autumn of the same year. On September 20, 1740, I. Elagin drew up a report in the Niakina harbor and said that servicemen and local residents had built in the harbor “five living quarters in one connection, three barracks, and three hangars with two apartments.” Elagin also reported on the completion of soundings of the depths of Avachinskaya Bay and the compilation of maps of the western and eastern shores of Kamchatka along the expected route of the expedition.

On October 6 (October 17 according to the present day), 1740, the packet boats “St. Apostle Paul,” led by Alexei Chirikov, and “St. Apostle Peter,” with commander Vitus Bering, arrived in Avacha Bay. This day is considered to be the city's birthday.

Stepan Krasheninnikov, traveling around Kamchatka at that time, wrote in his book:

Niakina Bay, which is now called Peter and Paul Harbor because of the two packet boats Peter and Paul that spent the winter in it, lies to the north and is so narrow that ships can be anchored on the banks, but it is so deep that ships that have more packet boats can stand in it: for it is from 14 to 18 feet deep. Officers' quarters, barracks, shops and other buildings for the naval command were built near this bay. After my departure, a new Russian prison was opened there, to which residents were transferred from other prisons.

Economy and industry

Fish extraction and processing

Still the main sector of the economy of Petropavlovsk. Among the largest fishing and fish processing enterprises are ZAO Akros, the fishing collective farm named after. Lenin, PJSC "Okeanrybflot" and a number of others. In general, the industry is mainly represented by small companies working seasonally on salmon fish. While in a number of villages on the eastern and western coasts of Kamchatka in last years In connection with the construction of new factories, fish processing received a “second wind”; in Petropavlovsk itself the industry lost its former importance.

Mining industry

In recent years, the mining industry has also been gaining strength. The city has offices of mining companies extracting gold (Asachinskoye, Aginskoye, Rodnikovoe and other deposits), nickel (Shanuch), platinum (the deposits are located in the north of the region, in Koryakia), as well as silver.

Tourism

Tourism is beginning to play one of the most important roles in the city’s economy, numerous travel companies offer many routes to hot springs, volcanoes, helicopter excursions to the famous Valley of Geysers and the caldera of the Uzon volcano, horseback riding, as well as boat trips, river rafting and fishing. Unfortunately, high airfare and the lack of developed infrastructure, especially high-quality and inexpensive hotels, hinder the development of the industry; only a few tens of thousands of tourists visit Kamchatka every year, despite the fact that neighboring Alaska is visited by a million people every year.

The volcanoes closest to the city, called homemade, lined up in one ridge. There are three of them: Kozelsky Volcano (2189 m), Avachinskaya Sopka (2741 m) and Koryakskaya Sopka (3456 m). On the slopes of the Kozelsky volcano there are two bases - mountaineering and skiing, operating almost year-round. To climb it, as well as Avacha, no preparation or equipment is required, unlike the Koryak Hill.

Energy

The city has two large thermal power plants - CHPP-1 and CHPP-2, which fully meet the city's electricity needs. Currently, work on the construction of the Sobolevo - Petropavlovsk gas pipeline has been completed, as a result of which CHPP-2 is partially operating at natural gas(2 boilers out of three). Thus, the city’s dependence on imported fuel has slightly, but decreased. In addition, the city's electrical networks are connected to the Mutnovskaya GeoPP, which is capable of providing up to 62 MW of electricity for the central Kamchatka energy hub.

The eastern outpost of Russia, more than eight thousand kilometers away from the Mother See, the city of Saints Peter and Paul, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is located on the shores of Avachinskaya Bay. The unkind waves of the Pacific Ocean splash in front of his face, snow-capped volcanoes rise behind him, and under his feet the earth's surface trembles almost constantly - the Kamchatka region is the most seismically active place on the planet, so earthquakes here are quite an ordinary thing. Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is widely known primarily as a base Pacific Fleet Russia, and in a narrow tourist environment - as a starting point for hunting tours and severe extreme sports, such as rafting, climbing hills and winter diving. Meanwhile, “calm” tourists will have plenty of things to do here: from visiting fish restaurants to zen contemplation of the blue peaks of Kamchatka’s dormant volcanoes hidden in the fog.

Russia is rich in unique places. One of them is the capital of the Kamchatka Territory. The history, location, and surrounding nature of this city are unusual and interesting, which makes this place a source of pride for the population and an object of desire for tourists. We will tell you about the features of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, its climate, structure and attractions.

Geographical location of the city

In the northeast of Russia there is one of the most amazing regions of the country - Kamchatka. The capital of the Kamchatka Territory is located in the Pacific Ocean, which is connected to it by a narrow strait. The city covers an area of ​​360 square meters. km. Its terrain is complex, with large differences in elevation. The lowest point is Avacha Bay (0-5 m above sea level), and the highest is Mount Rakovaya (513 m above sea level).

The entire city is located on hills, so the roads consist of only ups and downs. Several streams flow through the territory, the Krutoberega and Taenka rivers, and there are lakes. Therefore, there are no difficulties in providing residents with water. The city is located in one of the most earthquake-prone zones on earth. Small earthquakes happen here very often. Large, destructive disasters occur rarely, but the population is always prepared for them.

The city is located at a distance of almost 12 thousand kilometers from Moscow, so all residents of the European part of the country are always interested in the question, what time is it in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky when, say, 9 am in the capital? The time difference with Moscow is 9 hours. Therefore, when it is 9 am in the capital, in Kamchatka it is already 6 pm.

Climate and ecology

Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is located in close proximity to the Pacific Ocean. This fact shapes the climate of the settlement: it is temperate maritime, monsoonal. The location determines the specifics of the local weather: there are cool and fairly dry summers, mild, long winters. The region is characterized by high rainfall - about 1200 mm per year. The wettest months are October and November, with the least rainfall in June.

The region experiences year-round weather instability and is subject to the strong influence of cyclones. Summer begins in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in June and lasts until the end of August. But the capital and regions are experiencing an acute shortage of heat. Despite the fact that the region is located at the same latitude as Moscow and Tambov, the air temperature here in summer rarely rises above 17 degrees. True, there is little rain during this period. And this makes summer comfortable.

Winter begins in the region in November and ends in April. This is the time greatest number precipitation. average temperature in January it is minus 7 degrees. But snow and rain and piercing winds make this weather very unpleasant. The best time of year in the city is autumn. In September there is usually dry, sunny weather without winds. But in the region everything is relatively safe from an environmental point of view. There is no harmful industry here. The main source of pollution is people and cars. But since there is not much of both here, the air and water in Kamchatka are quite clean.

History of the settlement

The capital of the Kamchatka Territory was created by the pioneers of the region at the beginning of the 18th century. Previously lived here local population- Kamchadals and Chukchi. In the mid-17th century, Russian Cossacks arrived here and announced the annexation of the lands to the Russian Empire. But for another four decades, only small forts were built here. This continued until Ivan Elagin went to these places to explore these territories. He, while still preparing for the expedition, had his eye on the bay as the most comfortable spot for anchorage of ships. Elagin measured the depth off the coast and confirmed its navigability.

In 1740, an expedition led by A. Chirkov arrived here on ships, which gave the name to the new settlement. At first it was called Petropavlovsk. But, apart from a small fort and a name, nothing appeared in this place for another 70 years. Over the years, several expeditions arrived here, but no more inhabitants were added. At the beginning of the 19th century, Catherine the Great issued a decree on the development of local lands and the creation of a city called Peter and Paul Harbor. From this moment the development of the settlement begins.

The British and French laid claim to the new lands. The local Cossacks had to maintain a tough defense. The city later had to once again defend its independence by fighting off the Japanese during World War II. Since the 30s of the 20th century, the region has been actively developed. The city is growing, shipyards and the necessary infrastructure for life appear in it. But living conditions here have always remained harsh. IN Soviet time Several educational institutions are opening here, mainly with a maritime profile.

Features of the city

The main specific feature of the settlement is its remoteness from " big land" Despite the fact that the city is connected to other regions of the country by the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky airport and a highway, the cost of flight tickets makes this settlement inaccessible for many. This leads to the fact that there are few visitors to the locality; most often tourists here come from Japan and China. Therefore, the city is poorly prepared to receive an influx of guests.

The first question that visitors ask is: how long is it in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky compared to Moscow, Novosibirsk, etc.? Then they start looking for the usual travel service. And they are surprised to discover that they can find almost nothing to guide them. Another feature of life in the capital of Kamchatka is the rather high prices in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. All products are delivered here from afar. This explains their high cost.

Administrative division

Initially, the small city did not have any division into districts. But during Soviet times, they tried to artificially divide the settlement into three districts. This innovation did not take root, and later the division was cancelled. Today the city consists of microdistricts through which people navigate in space.

The main streets of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky are Sovetskaya and Karl Marx Avenue. Many significant objects of the city are grouped around them. But in general, the settlement is very long, which sometimes poses a problem for residents who need to get to some remote places. The population density is 500 people per square meter. km.

Population

Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky today has 180 thousand people. After perestroika, the city is going through hard times. If in 1991 there were 273,000 people living here, today the number of city residents is decreasing by at least 1 thousand every year. Despite a moderate increase in the birth rate and a decrease in mortality, it is not possible to stop the decline in the population. People are leaving the city because of Low quality life and decline in economic indicators. Indigenous people region - Kamchadal - is also gradually declining. Today there are just over 100 of them in the city.

Economy

Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is the economic center of the Kamchatka Territory. Administrative power is concentrated here and several educational institutions operate. The city's main income comes from fish processing enterprises. But with the advent of modern fishing and processing companies in other localities of the region, the importance of this industry in the capital is declining.

The authorities are betting on the mining industry. Gold, nickel, silver, and platinum mining companies are opening in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. However, the city celebrates high level unemployment. Despite the fact that the official figure does not exceed 2%, in reality there are much more unemployed people. The average unemployed person in the city is a 37-year-old man with higher education. And the main vacancies are related to seasonal activities in fishing and processing of fish.

Attractions

The capital of the Kamchatka Territory cannot boast of any special architectural and historical sights. The main monuments are associated with the discoverers of Kamchatka. In general, the city is not very beautiful. It is further disfigured by the sheets of iron that residents use to insulate the facades of their houses. Metal rusts and creates a feeling of abandonment and dying.

The main attraction of the region is nature. These are active volcanoes, geysers, beautiful landscapes, and the ocean. The landscape is presented almost untouched. Tourists are invited to national parks and nature reserves to see salmon spawning and bears hunting for them, wild rosemary blooming, and the tranquility of autumn landscapes. Guests are also offered skiing: there are several good slopes within the city.

City infrastructure

The city gives the impression of a slightly abandoned and abandoned settlement. And the reason for this is the aging infrastructure of Soviet times, bad roads. The only modernized place is the airport. Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky undergoes little renovation and construction. Residents are constantly waiting for an earthquake. Therefore, there is very little private construction here, and the state does not have enough funds to subsidize the city. There is an acute shortage of good hotels in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Best places residences are located outside the city.

First post-war years the state had no time for the Kamchatka Peninsula. All funds were spent on the restoration of war-ravaged villages, towns and national economies. Kamchatka lived on weak resources, which were only enough to maintain existing production structures and a minimum of social facilities created almost a dozen years ago.

The war years left their mark on Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Landscaping was in disrepair, and the construction industry and social sphere were not developing. Even in the city center, most streets were unsuitable not only for cars, but also for horse-drawn vehicles. Leninskaya and Mikoyanovskaya streets were more or less decent. Only Leninskaya Street had a gravel surface, while the rest had a dirt surface. All construction was carried out at a slow pace, spontaneously and unplanned. Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky was built mainly with private houses: small frame-fill boxes, as well as barracks, which became the main housing. These buildings arose wherever the terrain allowed: on the slopes of Petrovskaya and Mishennaya hills, along the road to Vietnam, on the shores of Lake Kultuchnoye. They added a rustic look to the city best option. Within the city boundaries of those years there were just over a hundred streets. I had to seize this time.

The presence of the Kamchatka region in the composition Khabarovsk Territory had a negative impact on the development of the distant outskirts of Russia. Many socio-economic issues were not resolved in its favor. This situation seriously affected the well-being of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, but even in these conditions, in the first years of the second half of the 20th century, the city, despite everything, became the industrial and cultural center of the region, and its role in the economy of Kamchatka increased.

In the late 1940s and early 1950s, new enterprises and organizations began to be created in the city. In August 1946, the former mechanical workshops of the Joint-Stock Kamchatka Company (AKO) on the Ozernovskaya Spit were transformed into a mechanical plant, which in July 1954 became the Petropavlovsk Ship Repair and Mechanical Plant (PSRMZ). In 1946, Kamchatrybvod was created, which controlled the fishing of fish and sea animals in the waters washing not only Kamchatka, but also Chukotka and the Kuril Islands. Since 1948, bread for Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky began to be baked by bakery plant No. 1. Before that, several bakeries produced bread. In one of them, on Klyuchevskaya Street, after the opening of the plant, a city food processing plant was organized, which began to produce confectionery, wine, vodka and soft drinks, and beer. On May 17, 1949, in accordance with the resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, the Kamchatka-Chukotka State Shipping Company was organized. In October 1949, the Council of Ministers of the USSR decided to reconstruct the Petropavlovsk seaport and organize a special construction trust for this, which was created in December - construction and installation trust No. 6 of Glavmorstroy. In 1954, the trust was renamed the construction and installation trust Kamchatmorstroy. In the same year, the construction trust Kamchatmorgidrostroy was organized.

The separation of the Sakhalin Region from the Khabarovsk Territory in 1947, and the Amur Region in 1948, which allowed them to more successfully develop their economy and culture, prompted the Kamchatka Regional Committee of the CPSU and the Kamchatka Regional Executive Committee in 1955 to enter with a petition to the Government of the RSFSR to separate the Kamchatka Region from the Khabarovsk Region the edges .

On January 23, 1956, the Kamchatka region left the subordination of the Khabarovsk Territory and became independent, which had a positive impact on the development of Kamchatka and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Industry began to develop intensively, housing construction intensified, and amenities began to improve. Petropavlovsk has felt this twice already - in 1849–1855 and 1909–1916, when Kamchatka became independent. The "golden age" of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky began. It can be conditionally defined within the framework of 1956–1991. During this period, a new city was formed and its modern borders were determined.

The “Golden Age” of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky can be divided into three stages. First: 1956–1966; the second - 1967–1977; the third - 1978–1991.

The first stage of the “golden age” of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky was 1956–1966. During this period, old and new socio-economic plans for the development of the regional center were intensively implemented. New enterprises and organizations were created, their material and technical base was strengthened. Industrial buildings, labor, and housing were in demand. Signs appeared in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky big construction: new buildings of industrial workshops, schools and hospitals, administrative buildings and residential buildings were laid. Work was actively carried out to open educational and cultural institutions.

The construction industry began to develop most noticeably. The appearance of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky was rapidly changing, which was especially striking and memorable. Especially him historical Center, in which they demolished wooden houses old buildings and high-rise buildings were erected. Housing construction began in many neighborhoods of the city.

Briefly about individual buildings of this period. In 1956, No. 52 was built in the city center, closer to Lake Kultuchny. The cinema opened on November 5, 1956. There were two cinema halls: “Blue” and “Pink”. and the cinema were continued by a number of stone high-rise buildings on the main street, where the Vostok hotel (Leninskaya, 40), (Leninskaya, 34), a grocery store (Leninskaya, 32) and others were located, built in 1950 and 1954–1955. In 1957–1960, construction was underway on the GUM (opened in April 1962), the Communications House, and the administrative building of the UTRF. With their completion in the early 1960s, Leninskaya Street began to take on almost the appearance that now opens to everyone. Likewise, the face of Sovetskaya Street changed during these years.

In the southern part of the city in 1958, the construction of a group of residential buildings for port workers, shipping company workers and ship repairmen was completed on Krasnaya Sopka, Okeanskaya and Industrialnaya streets. This area, previously isolated from the city center, was gradually connected with it. This was also facilitated by the development public transport. In 1958, passengers in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky were transported by 56 buses and 23 taxis. Since 1959, bus service has been extended to the village of Industrialny - "5th kilometer - SRV". Until 1967, the bus route increased almost every year or two in a northern direction along the Elizovskoye Highway to 6, 7 and 10 kilometers. It is worth noting that in the first years, citizens stood in line at bus stops and boarded the bus accordingly. To the ZhBF there was route No. 1, to the sawmill - No. 2 and to SRV - No. 3. These routes had their own numbers for decades. Then there were routes towards Khalaktyrsky airport, Seroglazka, Mokhovaya, Avacha and other villages in the suburbs of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.

Until the fall of 1957, the city ended at the 5th kilometer. Next was the territory of the Elizovsky district. By Decree of the Presidium Supreme Council RSFSR on October 30, 1957, the territory located on the 6th–10th kilometers of the Elizovskoye Highway was included within the city limits. These were mostly vacant lots with occasional islands of private houses.

By this time, the construction trusts Kamchatmorgidrostroy, Kamchatrybstroy and Kamchatstroy were striving to develop industrial housing construction, which made it possible not only to build individual objects, but also to conduct complex construction of residential microdistricts. So, in the vacant lots at the 5th kilometer, the construction of multi-storey residential buildings for fishermen began in 1958. Following the example of Moscow, this microdistrict was called Cheryomushki.

Individual figures indicate serious progress in housing construction in those years in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. If in 1954–1958 in the regional center about 60 houses were put into operation through the local Council, and 350 by private individuals, then in 1959–1960 and 6 months of 1961, 204 houses were built by the state and by individual owners 278 .

In 1961, there were 5,650 residential buildings in the city, but only 393 of them were built from concrete blocks and 968 from timber beams. The remaining 4,289 were frame-fill barracks and houses.

Until the second half of the 1950s, the city was insufficiently developed. Thus, in the village of Industrialny, in the Krasnaya Sopka area, on the 4th kilometer and 75th section (Pogranichnaya Street area), the roads were broken, did not have ditches or storm drains, and on most city streets there were no sidewalks. Such main streets of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky as Sovetskaya, Partizanskaya, Larinskaya (Chirikova), Beringa and Stroitelnaya did not have a gravel surface, not to mention the rest of the streets. In 1957, a meeting of the bureau of the Kamchatka Regional Committee of the CPSU was devoted to the issue of improvement of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. The Bureau obliged the Petropavlovsk City Executive Committee to begin construction of gravel roads by October 1 and complete the construction of sidewalks on Sovetskaya, Mikoyanovskaya (Leningradskaya), Ozernovskaya, Klyuchevskaya, Industrialnaya and Ryabikovskaya streets.

It should be noted that by 1960, most of the city’s streets had been put in order, and 14.3 kilometers of the city’s central road were paved, and this road reached the 5th kilometer. In 1960, the city already had 190 streets within its current borders.

The separation of the Kamchatka region from the Khabarovsk Territory had a positive impact on the development of industry not only in the region, but also in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Additional provisions have been made for this purpose. Particularly large investments were made in the development of production in the fishing and fish processing industries, in which, in the second half of the 1950s, new stage. Fishing vessels worked in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk and Bering Sea, in the Pacific Ocean. The trawl fleet based in the city had this opportunity. With the receipt of 29 new medium-sized fishing trawlers (SPT) in 1953–1958, there were 60 fishing vessels, and the trawl fleet turned into a powerful fishing organization in the region. On April 2, 1957, the trawl fleet, Kamchatrybflot, and fishing port merged into one organization - the Administration of Marine Active Fisheries (UMAR). In the same year, cooperage production in the villages of Malaya Lagernaya and Bolshaya Lagernaya was transferred to management. Already in 1958, new transformations took place. , Kamchatrybflot again became independent enterprises in the Kamchatrybprom system, and the fishing fleet with many auxiliary production facilities in May 1959 received the name Trawling and Refrigerated Fleet Administration (UTRF).

UTRF became the main city-forming enterprise in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, and fishing industry- the main sector of the city's economy. By 1965, the trawl fleet consisted of more than 130 vessels, including 7 large freezer fishing trawlers, 5 mother ships, 74 medium-sized fishing trawlers and many other vessels. Thousands of people worked in the UTRF team, including famous captains: P. E. Aleshkin, A. A. Kuznetsov, G. V. Meshcheryakov, A. F. Merdov, K. A. Chislov. The leaders of the trawl fleet and UTRF at different times were: P. A. Demidov, P. I. Anoda, I. P. Chernigovsky, V. P. Potapenko.

Back in 1960, out of three fishing collective farms located on the banks of Avachinskaya Bay, they named after. S. M. Kirov, named after. I.V. Stalin and the “Red Connection” - a fishing collective farm named after was organized in the village of Seroglazka. V.I. Lenin. The first chairman of the collective farm was M.K. Staritsyn. After him, the chairmen of a large collective farm were: S. I. Novoselov, V. V. Svatkovsky. Famous fishing captains worked on the collective farm: I. I. Malyakin, A. A. Ponomarev, N. I. Hort.

The fishing fleet was strengthened, and the ship repair base continued to develop. The Freza ship repair base was added to the ship repair yard and the ship repair and mechanical plant. Its basis was the floating dock and floating workshop "Freza", delivered to the Petropavlovsk fishing port in September 1958. In 1960, the base was transformed into the Freza plant.

The creation of new industrial enterprises, the development of the fishing fleet, and rapid housing construction ensured the growth of the population of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. In 1959, 85.6 thousand people lived there, which accounted for 38.8 percent of the population of Kamchatka. The city accounted for 44 percent of the region's gross industrial output.

In 1958, in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky there were 242 retail outlets, including kiosks. By 1963, there were already 301 of them. Public catering enterprises were developing. The townspeople used 97 canteens and snack bars in 1958, and in 1963 there were already 119 of them. In 1960, the city had 40 department stores, 21 grocery stores, 5 dairy stores and 2 vegetable stores. Citizens could wash themselves in five city baths.

By 1959, residents had three cinemas, a drama theater, local history museum, 11 clubs, 60 film installations, 12 public libraries with 222 thousand books. To the only one in the city, two were added in 1958: “Mayak” and the widescreen “October”. The favorite and only recreational place for Petropavlovsk residents remained Nikolskaya Sopka with its park of culture and recreation. Most of the city's festive events took place there.

On the initiative of the commander of Kamchatka military flotilla G.I. Shchedrin built the Museum of Military Glory, which opened on the Day navy in 1959. On August 11 of the same year, many Petropavlovsk residents attended the grand opening, and in the fall - at the opening of the memorial on Nikolskaya Sopka.

Since the mid-1950s, a circle of writers appeared in the city creative people, united around the regional newspaper "Kamchatskaya Pravda". A book editorial office was created at the newspaper in 1957, which in 1964 became the Kamchatka branch of the Far Eastern Book Publishing House. The first books on the history of Kamchatka, collections of poetry and prose by local authors began to be published. Since 1963, the Kamchatka Department of the Geographical Society periodically began to publish the collection “Questions of the Geography of Kamchatka”.

On July 27, 1958, an opening took place in the village of Zavoiko, to the hero Soviet Union, who died during the assault on Japanese fortifications on Shumshu Island, covering the embrasure of an enemy bunker with his chest. On July 30, 1963, in the park of the Museum of Military Glory, a man who died on October 11, 1942 in the Pacific Ocean from a torpedo attack by an unknown submarine was opened.

The end of the 1950s was characterized by the opening of many educational institutions in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, which Kamchatka had previously been deprived of. Because of this, most young people left the peninsula after finishing school to continue their education and never returned here. On August 31, 1958, the first higher educational institution in Kamchatka was officially opened. The rector of the institute became an associate professor of the Leningrad Pedagogical Institute. A. I. Herzen Candidate of Historical Sciences Yu. E. Novikov. IN different years Well-known people in Kamchatka taught at the institute: L. P. Lelchuk, M. P. Stelnykh, B. V. Busheleva, G. G. Kravchenko. Kamchatka writers and historians graduated from KSPI: E. V. Gropyanov, V. P. Pustovit, S. I. Vakhrin.

To the secondary specialized educational institutions available in the city: Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Naval and Petropavlovsk medical schools four more were added between 1958–1963. The following were opened: September 1, 1958 - Petropavlovsk Trade and Cooperative College; August 1, 1959 - Marine Fishery College; May 13, 1963 - Petropavlovsk Music School and September 1, 1963 - Petropavlovsk pedagogical school.

Twenty years after the first (1940) celebration of City Day, this date was remembered. An excerpt from the memoirs of V.I. Alekseev is appropriate here: “In October 1960, the 220th anniversary of the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky was celebrated. On the day of celebration (October 17, new style. - A.P.) on the city square, which at that time was called Teatralnaya, and now bears the name of V.I. Lenin, a city meeting of workers took place (the weather was clear, frosty and windy. - A.P.). And so a large column of cars with slogans and banners began to approach this square. The cars were loaded with potatoes and cabbage. Several vehicles were loaded with cattle, pigs and poultry. This was a gift to the townspeople from the workers of the Elizovsky district for their participation in the rise Agriculture. There were 220 cars, that is, the same number as the regional center.

In 1965, its 225th anniversary was widely and festively celebrated in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. During the celebrations, one of the first chairmen of the Petropavlovsk City Executive Committee, an active participant in the establishment of Soviet power in Kamchatka, became the first.

In the center of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky on Nikolskaya Sopka, on October 17, 1961, a television center with a 112-meter television tower began operating; in 1963, new buildings opened their doors and... In the first half of the 1960s, new enterprises and organizations came into operation. On October 5, 1962, the Institute of Volcanology of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences was created on the basis of the Kamchatka Geological and Physical Observatory and the Laboratory of Volcanology. The first director was the famous volcanologist Boris Ivanovich Piip. At University long years Scientists S.I. Naboko, E.F. Maleev, S.A. Fedotov worked.

In 1964, several organizations and industrial enterprises began work at once: February 14 - , July 10 - Kamchatgrazhdanproekt Institute, October 31 - Southern Electric Networks; December 4 - confectionery factory. On May 30, 1965, the first stage of CHPP-1 came into operation. In 1966, two motor transport enterprises were organized: motorcades 1958 and 1400.

It continued actively in 1962–1965. Thus, at the 6th kilometer a large residential area with a developed social sphere: a school (No. 7), a canteen, a bookstore ("House of Books"), a pharmacy (No. 44), an industrial goods store ("Sputnik"), two kindergartens. During these years, high-rise buildings began to appear in the area of ​​school No. 9 on Kutuzov Street. With the commissioning of the Petropavlovsk house-building plant on February 8, 1966, the capabilities of builders increased several times.

In 1965, in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky there were 44 daytime secondary schools and three vocational schools. Experienced teachers and educators worked in the schools: K. A. Barantseva, E. A. Golovin, E. V. Diordienko, I. P. Oleinikov, L. P. Mamontova, T. D. Zelenova, I. A. Platonova.

During the period of significant changes that transformed the city, Vladimir Zakharovich Melnikov was the chairman of the Petropavlovsk City Executive Committee in 1953–1960. He, like none of the chairmen of the city executive committee, had to difficult period the growth of the city to solve many urban planning, social and other problems, which he successfully dealt with.

In 1960–1967, the chairman of the Petropavlovsk City Executive Committee was Fedor Konstantinovich Belopotapov. Former party worker. In 1947–1950 he was the first secretary of the Ust-Kamchatka district committee of the CPSU (b), and in 1952–1955 of the Sobolevsky RK CPSU.

The second stage of the “golden age” of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky was 1967–1977. Construction during this period covered the entire city. In 1967, several dozen houses were built in the 7th kilometer area. Bokhniak, Voitseshek, Davydov, Tushkanov and Lukashevsky streets appeared in the previously empty place. They were named in accordance with the decision of the executive committee of the Petropavlovsk City Council of Workers' Deputies, adopted in the fall of 1967. With the opening of the Silhouette industrial goods store there, this area has retained this name to this day. Pogranichnaya, Okeanskaya, and Zelenaya Roshcha streets changed their appearance.

From spot development in old areas of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, builders moved to mass industrial construction in new free territories. In 1967–1970, selective construction was also carried out in certain areas of the city. Houses were still being built along the “red” line. They were erected on Okeanskaya and Pogranichnaya streets, in the Silhouette area. Construction continued in the future Dachny microdistrict. Private houses built in the early 1950s were demolished for it. By the 1970s, the city center was connected with the southern and northern areas that had previously been separated from it. The concepts Near State Farm, Mangruppa, Shanghai began to disappear in everyday speech. The city began to be perceived as a single whole. It stretches along the shore of Avachinskaya Bay for more than 20 kilometers.

During these years, a meat processing plant, a flour mill, an intercity, bus (February 1, 1967) and gas station, a new regional printing house building, a swimming pool near the bakery, and a Fishermen's House of Culture at the 5th kilometer appeared in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.

Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky from a small provincial town, quickly passing the middle stage, began to turn into one of the large cities Far East. In 1970, 153.9 thousand people lived there, or 53.5 percent of the residents of the Kamchatka region. On December 28, 1973, two districts were formed within the city: Leninsky and Oktyabrsky (the districts were liquidated in 1988).

The chairman of the Petropavlovsk City Executive Committee in 1967–1968 was Pyotr Illarionovich Zagoruy; in 1968–1973 - Ivan Gavrilovich Kovalenko.

Multi-storey buildings in the area of ​​the former Petropavlovsk state farm (Kronotskaya and Botanicheskiy proezd streets), 8–10 kilometers away, began to appear in 1970. After the main development, the city entered the free spaces of the former fields of the Peter and Paul State Farm, moving away from traditional construction along the “red” line. This is how the Zazerkalny microdistrict began to be built up in 1974–1975.

Housing construction led to the emergence of new streets. In 1973, there were 260 streets in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. They began to more often receive names related to the history of the city and its people. So, in 1971 Molchanova Street appeared, in 1972 - Shturman Elagin, in 1973 - Chubarova, in 1976 - Piipa Boulevard.

By the end of the 1970s, the Horizon and Horizon-Yug microdistricts emerged. In the first half of the 1970s, buildings with distinctive and noticeable architecture were built in the city: the Avacha Hotel and the House of Public Services on Komsomolskaya Square, on 50 Let Oktyabrya Avenue, the House of Public Services "Chaika" on Leninskaya Street, the Palace of Pioneers, and in the second half - administrative buildings for the regional executive committee and the city executive committee.

On October 31, 1972, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor for success in economic and cultural construction and for services in the formation and strengthening of Soviet power in Kamchatka. In the same year, construction began on a bypass road from the bakery to the fork of Lukashevsky Street and Karl Marx Avenue.

The cultural life of the city has revived. Since 1968, “Notes of Local Lore” have been added to the published collection “Questions of the Geography of Kamchatka”, and since 1976 the literary and artistic collection “Kamchatka” has been published. The Kamchatka Writers' Organization dates back to 1974, and the Kamchatka branch of the Union of Artists dates back to 1976. Local writers and poets are well known on the peninsula: E.V. Gropyanov, G.G. Porotov, V.V. Koyanto (Kosygin), N.V. Saneev, V.P. Kudlin, M.Ya. Zhilin; artists: A. F. Vinokurov, K. V. Kilpalin, V. A. Shokhin, F. G. Dyakov, V. I. Voroshilov, V. A. Belykh, V. P.

A. Avvakumov.

In 1968 to the only higher educational institution in Kamchatka, the Kamchatka State Pedagogical Institute has added one more thing - the Kamchatka branch of the Dalrybvtuz with a full-time department in the specialties: “Industrial fishing” and “Technology of fish products”.

The production structure of the regional center also changed. In January 1977, the territorial production department of Glavkamchatrybprom was reorganized into the production association Kamchatrybprom. It included the majority of fishing and fish processing enterprises in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. Including those that received a new name: UTRF - Trawling Fleet Base (BTF), Ocean Fisheries Department - Ocean Fisheries Base (BOR), Kamchatrybflot - Rybkholodflot base. In addition to them, the association included a tin can factory, the Freza ship repair plant, a fishing gear factory, a radio center, the Petropavlovsk fish cannery and 11 more coastal fish canneries and fish factories in the region. Together they produced 80 percent of the region's gross industrial output, and the share of Kamchatka fishermen was 12 percent of the all-Union fish catch.

In 1978, the Fishing Fleet Administration (UPF) of the inter-collective farm production association was organized and a cement grinding plant came into operation.

In 1975, events were solemnly held in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in honor of the 30th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. On May 7, 1975, a monument was unveiled on Komsomolskaya Square in honor of Kamchatka residents who worked in the rear.

May 8, 1975.”

And 1978 was marked by another event in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. On November 6, 1978, it was opened on the backfilled part of Lake Kultuchnoye, next to the administrative building of the Kamchatka Regional Executive Committee. Teatralnaya Square was renamed into Square named after. V.I. Lenin, although she retained her former name in colloquial speech.

From 1970 to 1979, the number of residents in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky increased by 61 thousand people and in 1979 amounted to 214.9 thousand.

The third stage of the “golden age” of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is 1978–1991. In the 1980s, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky continued to change the appearance, especially of its surroundings. It is difficult to list the buildings built over the years, but it is impossible to do without indicating the very noticeable ones that determined the face of the city. The regional scientific library named after. moved to new modern buildings made of glass and concrete. S.P. Krasheninnikova, pedagogical school, children's clinic No. 1. House builders received the Avangard sports and cultural complex at their disposal. A swimming pool opened on Pobedy Avenue; in the city center there is the Kholkam store and the Bodrost water and health complex. In 1985–1987, the buildings of the regional Department of Internal Affairs were built. On December 22, 1985, CHPP-2 generated its first current. In the last days of 1986 it went into operation hotel"Geyser". Since April 1988, the city air terminal and the Petropavlovsk hotel began operating. In 1987, the city fountain began operating opposite.

During these years, fishing, ship repair, construction and energy enterprises operated stably. Together with auxiliary and accompanying organizations, they determined the economy of the city and region. With the development of socio-cultural infrastructure, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky has become attractive to people from the mainland. By this period, it began to form resident population regional center, although the city was crowded with temporary workers.

In 1986, more than 20 research and design institutions and institutes operated in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. They employed 8 doctors, 200 candidates of science, about 450 researchers. Among the scientific institutions, the Kamchatka branch of TINRO and the Far Eastern Scientific Center of the USSR Academy of Sciences stood out. Kamchatka State pedagogical institute and a branch of Dalrybvtuz, which in January 1987 became an independent technical university - the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatka Higher Marine Engineering School (PKVIMU).

The cultural life of the city was greatly influenced by the regional drama theatre, music schools and college, two museums, an art gallery (opened in 1985), a society of book lovers, the "Knowledge" society, the regional scientific library named after. S.P. Krasheninnikov, where the Uykoal local history club has worked since 1982. The Kamchatka branch of the Far Eastern Book Publishing House regularly published the literary and artistic collection "Kamchatka" and the local history collection "Nord-Ost", and published books by local poets and prose writers. Regional newspapers and television provided positive information about life in Kamchatka, its past and present. 128 public and special libraries, cultural centers and cinemas operated for city residents: , "Mir", "Ocean", "October", "Parus", "Victory", "Russia" and "Horizon".

Back in 1973, the first memorial plaque appeared in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky indicating in whose honor the street was named. It was dedicated to a participant in the struggle for the establishment of Soviet power in Kamchatka. In the 1980s, memorial plaques began to be installed in the city again - not only informing about who the city street was named after, but also dedicated to noble people Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. In total, from 1973 to 1990, 12 such boards were installed: V. P. Andrianov, G. G. Porotov, B. I. Piip, N. P. Frolov, S. P. Belyaev, Ya. M. Drabkin, L. S. Molchanov, .

During the years of stable development of the city, the following worked as chairmen of the Petropavlovsk City Executive Committee: in 1973–1984 - Ivan Pavlovich Chernigovsky; in 1984–1987 - Lev Nikolaevich Egorov; in 1987–1989 - Vyacheslav Ivanovich Shuvaev; in 1989–1990 - Nikolai Rodionovich Zadorozhny.

By the beginning of the 1990s, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky reached the borders in which it remains to this day. The changes that occurred in the state and social structure in the country in 1991–1992 pushed back plans to implement good ideas for improving the city’s architecture for an indefinite future. However, back in 1989, the issue of building a second house-building plant in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky was seriously discussed and grandiose project cultural complex in the historical center of the city. It was then that the definition of “historical center”, covering the area from the square to them. G.I. Shchedrin to Kultuchnoye Lake became known to the general public, and not just specialists.

In February 1987, Larina, Toporkova and Vitaly Kruchina streets appeared, in September 1988 - Oborona 1854 and Staritsyn streets, in June 1989 - Frolov Street and Zavaritsky Lane. In 1991, the list of streets was supplemented by Flotskaya and Yakornaya.

The perestroika that began in the country in 1985 awakened people's political and social activity. In March 1989, a meeting of thousands of city residents on issues of democracy and power was held near the geological department building in the village of Geologists. Then several rallies took place on the square. V.I. Lenin. They were also crowded, but then the rally democracy soon ceased. On the wave of liberalization political life arose public organizations"Initiative", "Memorial" and "Comrade". Regional newspapers were published in unprecedentedly large circulations. In 1990, the newspaper "Kamchatskaya Pravda" printed 83,700 copies, and "Kamchatsky Komsomolets" - 68,165.

In 1989, 242.5 thousand people lived in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky (without closed territorial entities- Petropavlovsk-50, -53, etc.), which accounted for 52.8 percent of the region’s population.

By this time, the economy of socialism began to falter, which was reflected in the reduction in the volume of industrial production in the country, including food and industrial goods for the population. Difficult times were approaching Kamchatka, but this did not prevent the 250th anniversary of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky from being widely celebrated in 1990.

The countdown began in 1991 new era: The USSR collapsed. Russia has become sovereign federal state. The country has begun to redistribute property. State-owned enterprises were taken over joint stock companies, became private property. In Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky almost all industrial enterprises and organizations. Many old businesses have ceased to exist. A different era has arrived.

Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky began to experience not its best times. There have already been such periods in its past: the desolation of the settlement after the completion of the Second Kamchatka Expedition in the 18th century, with the transfer of the naval base in 1855 from Petropavlovsk to the mouth of the Amur, and oblivion during the post-October revolution of 1917. However, history keeps past periods rapid development cities that made it possible not only to preserve it, but also to build it. The period of the “golden age” of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky also left the most noticeable mark on it.
