Sugar factory in Ramoni history. Abandoned sugar factory

During the Great Patriotic War, the enemy approached the Don and Voronezh. In 1942, the plant was evacuated to the station. Belovodskaya. The plant began its work at the new location. On January 25, 1943, Soviet troops liberated Voronezh, the second half of 1943 marked the beginning of the period of restoration lenition and creation.

In 1948 at the station. New technological equipment arrived in Ramon, in the main building of the plant they worked metalworkers, plasterers, welders. On March 5, 1950, a whistle announced the launch of the plant. Now it was fully electrified, and it was connected to the Ramon station by a narrow-gauge railway.

“Voice of Ramoni” from December 22, 2000

We climb through the empty window arch. Everything here is littered with roofing felt and collapsed slate, scraps of brown beams stick out from the walls, slanting frames are bristling with shards of dull glass, pieces of concrete blocks are everywhere. The floor is full of holes, one of which leads to an underground tunnel.

Processing beetroot on the Ramon estate was a profitable business. In the 30s of the 19th century, Chamberlain Nikolai Tulinov, the owner of the estate, founded sugar production here. His sister Anna Schele, the widow of General Peter Schelle, appreciated the benefits of the sugar business and, after her brother’s death, began legal battles with her nephew, retired guard lieutenant Philip Wiegel. Having sued from her nephew “the village of Ramon with peasants, of whom there are 283 male souls, with land and forest, beet sugar and stearin factories,” the enterprising aunt zealously got down to business. Thanks to her, Ramon lollipops and sugar loaves appeared on the shelves of Voronezh confectionery shops.

Anna Shele, according to local historians, was a famous philanthropist who donated large sums to many charitable organizations. Meanwhile, life was hard for the sugar factory workers - they delivered raw materials off-road and boiled sugar in cast-iron cauldrons over an open fire. The plant brought in less and less income, and the general’s widow had no time for him in her old age. Having sold her property and donated money to good causes, Anna Shele entered a monastery.

In 1879, Emperor Alexander II gave the Ramon estate to his relative Eugenia of Oldenburg. The famous Princess of Oldenburg, whose palace towers over Ramon to this day, will completely re-equip the plant, open a refinery shop and a confectionery factory. The hard labor of workers is replaced by the power of steam units, and rails are laid from the beet fields to the plant itself. The candies at the confectionery factory are made according to unique recipes. Fruits from the surrounding orchards, milk from their own cows, and only cocoa beans are ordered from abroad. The renovated plant prepares delicacies worthy of an imperial table.

A few years later, the Ramona Steam Candy Factory produces hundreds of types of sweets and chocolate. Its main warehouse is located on Lubyanka, in Nekrasov’s house. Candied watermelon rinds are considered a delicacy by metropolitan and foreign gourmets. “In 1903, the factory’s products received the highest rating at an exhibition in London, and in 1904, Oldenburgskaya decorated its labels with silver and bronze medals from the Paris and Brussels exhibitions,” note the authors of the publication about the history of Ramon “Ramon. A royal gift." Prize-winning places were taken not only by sweets, but also by skillful packaging made, as local historian Lyudmila Obraztsova suggests, by students of art and industrial schools.

During the first Russian revolution, the dishonest German manager Koch puts the factory into debt. As a result of fraud, a terrible fire occurs. Ramon local historian Vladimir Shilov writes from the words of factory chemist P.P. Osinko, an eyewitness to the events: “In October 1905, someone set fire to sugar factories and a sawmill. The fire lasted more than two weeks. Melted sugar, sweets, and molasses flowed like a hot mass into the Voronezh River all this time.”

The plant survived both the two-week fire and the events of the first Russian revolution. But he went bankrupt. Even the patronage of the sovereign did not help. The equipment was taken out by Voronezh entrepreneurs and for a long time they continued to produce products under the brand name “Ramon Candy and Chocolate Factory”.

The October Revolution was approaching. She destroyed many factories and their owners, but revived the Ramonsky plant. “The Ramon sugar factory and the factory economy became state property,” writes researcher Nikolai Ilyinsky. – In December 1919, after the expulsion of the White Guards from Voronezh land, the first Komsomol cell in the volost appeared at the sugar factory. The staff of the sugar factory wrote a glorious page in the pre-war chronicle of Ramoni. After October, the plant resumed production activities only in 1922. The plant has been steadily increasing its capacity year after year, introducing new equipment and increasing the technical knowledge of workers.”

In 1940, the sugar factory turned 100 years old. By this time, it had become one of the largest, as it is fashionable to say now, innovative enterprises in the Black Earth Region.

After the war, the plant switched to waste-free production. Even the remains of molasses are used for animal feed, and the houses are heated with steam.

We go out to one of the main workshops of the plant. From the door to the collapsed floor is about one and a half meters. This floor is strewn with scraps of equipment fasteners and fragments of concrete slabs. Steel beams under the high ceiling still hold up the roof, and thick cables with rusty hooks still hang from above. There are doorways here and there on the walls. A tattered panel hangs above one of the openings; only the corner of the red banner, torn down by perestroika, remains.

We climb to the upper floors using stairs without railings. There are long corridors, untouched toilets and showers, rooms with the remains of furniture and... laboratories. On the tables are dusty test tubes with reagents, alcohol lamps, and full boxes of clean and intact cones and beakers. In some places, the containers did break, and red and purple crystals grew there on the countertops. We even found half a bag of petrified sugar under one of the tables.

Is it really possible that perestroika did what fire, war and two revolutions could not do? But in the dilapidated duty log, the last dates are lost in the two thousandths. This means that perestroika has nothing to do with it.
The Ramona sugar factory is having a hard time surviving the turbulent nineties. Here is what “Young Communar” writes in December 2000: “Arbitration, bankruptcy, collapse... - these concepts, which terrify any business executive, have not left the lips of the Ramonians until recently. Now... “The ramon will be with sugar.” After all, the Ramonsky Sugar joint-stock company has found not only an honest, reliable, interested investor in the person of the Rossoshan OJSC Minudobreniya, but also received a real prospect for modernization.” That year the plant turned 160 years old. They wrote a lot about the development of beet sugar production; the dynasty of workers, dating back almost from the founding of the plant, believed in its revival.

Now we are going down to the workshop basements. There are clumps of faded newspapers, scraps of clothing, piles of old shoes that came from nowhere. Next are monolithic stands on which, probably, boiler room equipment was mounted, surviving transformers and boxes with brand new ceramic fuses, electric meters and lampshades made of thick glass. Apparently, this belongings were never useful for modernization.

The revival did not work out - the owner of the plant was the Promidex company (it owns several large factories in the Voronezh region). The company's management decided to “freeze the plant due to unprofitability.”

“The Ramonsky sugar plant, owned by the Prodimex company, will soon be transferred to the management of the regional administration... The company planned to mothball the unprofitable enterprise, and the administration insisted that the plant continue to operate, explaining this by the need to preserve jobs... According to the head of the representative office, Igor Bykov , next Tuesday an authorized representative of Prodimex will arrive in Voronezh, who will probably sign an agreement on the lease of the Ramonsky sugar plant for a “free lease,” writes Kommersant-Chernozemye in April 2004.

The plant is operating at full capacity for another season.

“Who turned out to be right - the owners of the plant, who essentially gave up on him, or the regional administration - time has shown. And it proved once again that government bodies, if necessary, should regulate the production sector,” Kommuna published a year later.

We leave the ruins of the Ramoni sugar factory. Some walls are supported by one brick. The plant, which literally went through fire, water and copper pipes, was destroyed, looted and abandoned. It has become uncompetitive and out of place in the new realities, like a cherry orchard from a Chekhov play. Legally, the plant is not and cannot be an architectural monument. But he is a symbol of bygone history.
They say that there used to be a proverb in Ramon: “Ramon without sugar is like land without a plowman.”

Mikhail Suprunenko

From the editor:

So what is there now? Unfortunately, the sugar factory is now just one of many abandoned buildings with an amazing history, the progress of which has stopped for them today. As one could see, attempts were made to revive the Ramona factory more than once throughout its existence. So why not try to give life to the old plant again? An example of a successful attempt of this kind is the capital’s center for contemporary art “VINZAVOD”. Since 2007, he has been working on the territory where the Moscow Grape and Dessert Wine Factory was previously located, and even earlier, the noble estate of Princess Ekaterina Volkonskaya.

Returning to the Voronezh region, it is worth remembering that the famous castle of Princess of Oldenburg is located next to the sugar factory. Thus, the high-quality implementation of such an idea in the Black Earth Region could, over time, give us a surprisingly harmonious combination of modern art and a unique architectural monument in one complex. We think there is no need to talk about what broad horizons this would open up for the region.

I continue a series of virtual excursions through the historical abandoned areas of the Ramonsky district. We have already visited, in the old hospital town (former), as well as in the vicinity of Ramon. As usual, in addition to photographs, I bring to your attention a concise historical background about the subject. These places on the Internet are not destroyed (with the exception, perhaps, of photographs of the facade of the princess’s castle), there is information, but it is scattered and, again, mainly in the form of a biography of the owner of the castle. Meanwhile, the history of this sugar factory began much earlier than the Oldenburg Palace.

However, let's take it in order.

So, the retired captain Tulinov Ivan Ivanovich (1754-1827) at the end of the 18th - first quarter of the 19th century owned one thousand acres of Ramon land and six hundred souls of serfs. By the way, Ivan Ivanovich already appeared in my cozy diary, when I told and showed you one of the oldest surviving houses in Voronezh, known as. He was the grandson of the founder of the house, Maxim Sergeevich Tulinov. In 1826, Ivan Ivanovich bequeathed the estate in Ramon to his son Nikolai, under whom this sugar factory was founded exactly in 1840. True, to be honest, at that time it was a small semi-handicraft production, producing only six pounds of sugar per day. Nevertheless, it was the fourth beet sugar factory in the Voronezh province after Olkhovatsky, Sadovsky and Nizhnekislyaisky.

Ivan Ivanovich's sister, Varvara, in February 1804 married Nikolai Filippovich Vigel, an officer in a cuirassier regiment stationed in Voronezh. In 1866 she dies, and two years later her husband follows her. They still have a son - Guard Lieutenant Philip Nikolaevich Vigel. By the way, he was the last owner of the house mentioned above and before his death he signed it to the city. However, perhaps we should not mix these stories. See everything for yourself.

The younger sister of Ivan and Varya was Anna, who in 1821 married Lieutenant Colonel Pyotr Romanovich Shele, who later rose to the rank of general. Anna Ivanovna was widowed early and returned from her husband’s place of service back to Voronezh, where she became involved in active charitable work, because they did not have children of their own.

I mentioned these people for a reason. After the death of Ivan Ivanovich, it was Anna Ivanovna Shele and her nephew Philip Vigel who applied for the inheritance. After many lawsuits between relatives, which were written about in Voronezh newspapers of that time, in 1856 the Ramon estate still went to Annushka. During this time, it fell into decay, the sugar and ancient factories stopped altogether. Through the efforts and diligence of the legendary stingy Anna Ivanna, the sugar factory was launched, but the candle factory, unable to withstand the competition, completely died out.

In the spring of 1863, when the lady had already turned 70, she decided to sell the Ramona estate along with the sugar factory. The buyer turned out to be a resident of St. Petersburg, Lieutenant General Nikolai Stepanovich Ogranovich. They bargained for 60 thousand rubles. And in the spring of 1876, Ogranovich snatched up the estate and plant of a certain Velyaminova (a relative of the Vyazemskys) for 270,000 rubles. This is a normal profit, isn't it? And finally, in 1879, the Oldenburg couple became the owners of the Ramon lands, and they began to build their own on the site of the Tulinovs’ estate.

In 1900, on the south side of the sugar factory, by order of Princess Eugenie, a three-story extension was built to the “Steam Factory of Sweets and Chocolate of Her Imperial Majesty Princess E.M. Oldenburgskaya". According to the price list of 1906, it produced over 400 types of sweets, chocolate and other confectionery products. At international exhibitions in Paris, Brussels and London, the factory was repeatedly awarded gold medals.

For a quarter of a century, the princess managed the plant until revolutionary unrest began in Russia. In 1905, local workers also went on strike. It was dangerous to stay in Ramon and soon the Oldenburgskys left the estate forever.

01 . Here, perhaps, it’s time to show you a picture so that the lazy user can take a break from the abundance of names and dates.
And we will start with a panorama of the factory facade. Full length ( 2721×1200px) linked to Googlemaps.

02 . The factory proletarians, naturally, were not at a loss and, in the spirit of the times, organized a party cell, Komsomol members, and so on. Later, the chairman of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, Comrade Kalinin, came to the plant. He arrived at the Ramon station with the October Revolution propaganda train and held a rally. In memory of this visit, in 1969, on the territory of the plant, the happy descendants erected a monument with a bas-relief of the “All-Russian headman”.

03 . The People's Commissars appreciated the legacy of the tsarist industry and set about increasing capacity.
First of all, we solved the logistics problem by laying a railway to the Ramon station.

04 . In 1930, steam turbines and new generators were installed in addition to the existing power plant, which provided current only for lighting the factory premises. The power of the plant's electric generators was 858 kilowatts, quite a lot at that time. Horse trams on the railway were replaced by freight trams. We didn’t find the last ones, but in the darkest room someone hid this:

05 . Meanwhile, in 1940, the Ramona Sugar Factory turned 100 years old.

06 . From the beginning of the Second World War, the plant continued to operate until October 1942, when the evacuation began.
The Voronezh trust "Sakhstroy" settled in the empty workshops, where they carried out carpentry work for the city.

07 . In the post-war years, the plant experienced its rebirth.
We expanded the production area and brought in new technological equipment.
On March 5, 1950, the traditional whistle announced the trial launch of the plant.

08 . In the 60s, production began to flourish even more.
Unfortunately, I have nothing to illustrate this matter other than the types of reinforced concrete structures.

09 . The party ordered to work without production waste. Additional sugar is extracted from molasses when recycled. The remainder in the form of molasses (with a small sugar content) is used for other food industry enterprises and partly for livestock feed. In the pulp drying shop, beet pulp is processed into valuable livestock feed. Over the course of a year, the workshop produces over 4 thousand tons of dry pulp. It is used not only in the region, but is also sent to reindeer herding farms in the Arctic.

10 . In the 80s, all sorts of reconstructions began again. Then perestroika and the threat of bankruptcy.
By decree of the Presidium of the Russian Federation in 1992, the plant was established as an open joint stock company, and in 1997 - Ramonsky Sugar OJSC.

11 . Even if you don’t mind going and looking at the previous picture in full height to carefully examine each brick, one of the most interesting details in it is still hidden by bushes, so please also take a look at the vertical panorama of this fragment. Personally, I even find it difficult to come up with a worthy epithet for the brain of the person who did THIS.

12 . Further, the history of the plant is quite vague, but it is obvious that its decline began by leaps and bounds. The city-forming enterprise of Ramoni suddenly began its journey to nowhere. I found information in the local newspaper that in 2004 the owner of the enterprise was the Prodimex company, which decided not to start production, but simply to mothball the plant. Many residents of Ramon risked being left without a livelihood.

13 . Then the regional administration offered Prodimex two options for solving the problem: either the company refuses the decision and incurs losses, but retains social guarantees, or it transfers the plant free of charge to the management of the regional administration. At the same time, the administration does not pay the owners, but organizes the work at the plant itself. The second option was chosen and, as I understand it, the plant lasted another season, but then, judging by its current state (and this is with security and a fence), it very quickly turned into literally ruins.

14 . On this sad note, I will stop tormenting you with historical calculations so that you are less distracted from the photographs.

15 . As I understand it, the starving people tried to survive in the current circumstances, cutting down everything they could get their hands on.

16 . Beautiful, but fraught with unexpected slipping into the hatch for the photographer.

17 . Also beautiful, but somewhat reminiscent of UG. Or does it seem to me?

18. I am specifically posting this picture now. For contrast. So that you can be more deeply imbued with the fact of how badly the production workshops are in disarray and at the same time how perfectly preserved the laboratory is. So, the largest workshop of the sugar factory now looks like this:

19 . And here is the laboratory. More precisely one of them. There are several of them, but that’s not the point. The rest are also in excellent condition.

20 . Just a fairy tale for any photo wanker, isn’t it?

21 . Or here's another story.

22 . The pantry is simply bursting with all sorts of goodies produced by Reakhim.

23 . However, the next one is even more beautiful.

24 . Another laboratory. My soul is torn by the desire to photograph every test tube or jar, but alas, I need to hurry.
We have plans to visit many more places, and besides, we have already gotten too close to the guarded building.

25 . Let's see what's behind the door from the previous photo.
I wonder if this old wardrobe remembers the Princess of Oldenburg?

26 . Chemistry and life? In this case, perhaps, it sounds like a mockery.

27 . And again, in the next room we are greeted by a wonderful laboratory.

28 . And again wonderful jars, bottles and chemicals.
Or, judging by the teapot, is it already sugar?

29 . There are also wardrobes here, but in a more modern way.

30 . And of course, there is a storage room too!

31 . However, it's time to go out. Adios, Comanches!

“Mouse fuss,” one of the workers at the Ramon sugar plant gave their verdict. People gathered early on Thursday morning near the sugar factory to hear about the future fate of their native enterprise, including their own.

“Mouse fuss,” one of the workers at the Ramon sugar plant gave their verdict. People gathered early on Thursday morning near the sugar factory to hear about the future fate of their native enterprise, including their own. Last year, the media wrote “about an experiment carried out by the provincial authorities on the Ramonsky plant.”

This plant has been standing since 1840. Will it survive in our time? The head of the Ramonsky district, Vladimir Astanina, recalled at the meeting:

– After the first season of operation, the Prodimex company, which bought the plant, began to cultivate the idea that this plant was unprofitable, and its fate was conservation or turning it into a beet station. Naturally, the district authorities, the Main Directorate of the Agro-Industrial Complex and the regional administration resisted. They were able to insist that the plant continue to operate and convinced the company to lease it to the established structure of Ramsahar LLC, which was established by agricultural producers.

On May 7, the lease expired, and the Prodimex company again became the full owner of the sugar factory, which ranked fourth in sugar production in the Voronezh region last year.

For the further operation of the plant, money is required for routine repairs and investments for further re-equipment. The plant is not able to process the pulp that is produced and today, first of all, it is necessary to invest funds to solve this problem. To this, Prodimex representative Yuri Kocherov said: “A year of rent has shown that the plant can operate. And we are ready to sell it." The amount of costs for current repairs, technical re-equipment and purchase costs nearly one hundred million rubles (while it was purchased in 2002, they say, for three million).

Ramsahar does not have the opportunity to buy out a plant leased for a season. “Should I extend the lease?” – with hope in the voice came from the crowd.

– Today, the regional administration, alas, cannot provide loan collateral in the form of regional property. Vladimir Grigorievich clearly told me about this, because last year the loans that were received by agricultural producers using the region as collateral were not all repaid. The region cannot risk its property,” Vladimir Astanin said about the meeting with the governor.

– The plant’s problem did not start today or yesterday. Without further capital investments, it cannot work,” Ivan Lyapin, deputy head of the Main Directorate of the Regional Agro-Industrial Complex for Agricultural Products Processing, told the audience unequivocally.

In addition to production problems, there are many other problems. The district inherited a housing stock from the plant, half of which is in disrepair and dilapidated condition. Many live in houses built back in 1864. Among the problems is heating. A significant part of the village is powered by heat from the plant’s thermal power plant. The problem has become acute this season as well. Traditionally, the plant, finishing the beet processing season, continued to produce heat and heated facilities that were on the balance sheet of the plant. Last year, social and cultural facilities did not belong to the plant, so buying heat from the sugar plant was very expensive and problematic for the enterprise itself - the thermal power plant had to be operated solely for heating purposes.

Heating prospects for the new season are blurred. According to the assurances of the district head, a decision was made to build a new block boiler house on the site of the heating point. It is planned to install a boiler house for the heating season through investments from Voronezhregiongaz. The sugar factory also owned a water intake, and now the issue of water supply and sanitation is being resolved. Thus, the district budget receives a gap in the form of unpaid taxes from a non-operating enterprise, plus an additional burden in the form of costs for maintaining the entire communal sphere of the sugar factory.

But the main task remains to protect people.

Apparently, all 350 permanent employees of the plant will be forced to contact the Employment Center. Perhaps some of them will be able to get a job at the new Unipack enterprise or join the staff of the expanding Voronezhavia company. These options were voiced by the district head. The Prodimex company will offer rotational work to specialists at other factories. But all these are just projects and intentions. What will happen in reality? – the question is ambiguous.

The symbol of Ramoni is one of the oldest sugar factories in Russia. At one time, Princess Eugenie of Oldenburg reconstructed the plant, built a refinery shop and a candy factory. The factory's sweets received silver and gold medals at world exhibitions. For people who have been working at the plant for 4-5 generations, the current situation is a real tragedy.

The sugar workers themselves almost unanimously say: “It’s not a shame when a leaky vessel sinks, but when a ship with a rich past sinks, tears well up.” Galina ROKHMIN.

Hello dear friends. This time we will talk about another abandoned plant, before that I posted the Zavolzhsky chemical plant, now the Ramonsky sugar plant, located in the Voronezh region, one of the oldest factories in Russia. A plant with a very rich history and tragic fate. It was founded in 1840 by Ivan Ivanovich Tulinov, a major Voronezh industrialist.

After the death of the founder, litigation began, and, accordingly, the division of the plant. The legal heir was Ivan Ivanovich Tulinov’s nephew, but he was also claimed by the deceased’s sister Anna Ivanovna Tulinova by marriage (Shele), and she became his mistress in 1852. She received the sugar factory itself and 1,586 acres of land. In 1863 the plant changed owners again.


The new owners of the plant were Lieutenant General Ogranovich and Colonel Leparsky, and it was during their reign that the plant began to generate a hefty profit of 40,000 rubles a year for those times. The owners are selling the plant to Velyaminova for 240,000 rubles. In 1879, everything became the property of the imperial court. Alexander II grants the Ramon estate along with the sugar factory to the Princess of Oldenburg. The equipment is being improved, the old Tulinovsky workshop building is being demolished, and another is being built in its place. Productivity was increased to 150-200 quintals per day.


In addition to granulated sugar, they began to produce refined sugar (lump sugar). A three-story extension was erected where they mastered the production of sweets and chocolate. At the time of 1906, more than 400 varieties of sweets and chocolate were produced, which brought world fame to the owner of the plant. Factory products received gold medals at international exhibitions in London, Brussels and Paris.


A railway line is being built. And the plant switches from wood fuel to coal. Coal is delivered from Donetsk. In addition to numerous works for the enterprise, the Oldenburgskys are building a castle, which, by the way, has been perfectly preserved, work is underway and in the village of Ramon itself a hospital, a school, water towers, a canteen, a hostel are being built, alleys and parks are being built and landscaped.


Next comes the period of civil war. The plant did not operate during this period, everything changed only in 1922 with the arrival of Kalinin, and by 1930, 780 hectares of arable land had been developed on the factory beet-growing farm. Steam turbines appeared, new railway lines were laid. The plant was electrified, and with it the village of Ramon and the breeding station received electricity.


During the Great Patriotic War, the plant was evacuated and returned to its place only in 1943, when Voronezh was liberated. In 1948, new equipment arrived; at the time of 1953, daily beet processing was 13 thousand centners per day, in 1963 these figures doubled. The duration of sugar production is also increasing; the plant operates 225 days a year and produces 400 thousand centners of sugar for the country.


The plant's problems began with the restructuring of our country in the 90s, although at that time it was still very poor. This whole thing is being renamed OJSC, and although there are, of course, examples of operating enterprises around the country, but not for me - therefore, according to my statistics, shit begins with OJSC.


They tried to save the plant, even investors appeared, but they either tried poorly, or it was impossible to save it, but as can be seen from the photographs, it was not possible to save it. Ultimately, the production was transferred to the regional administration; to be honest, I got a little tired of writing about it. There are not just a ton of reports from this particular plant; there are a lot of them.


There are excellent photographs and an excellent video from this sugar, so there is probably no point in churning out another post about the place where everyone was, or rather, bothering yourself with writings that can be found without any problems on the Internet.


Yes, and the photographs were taken very late, there are a lot of reports from the plant when it had at least some kind of preservation, there was a relatively whole laboratory, but I actually have the deepest destruction here and in fact it’s impossible to photograph anything here except bare walls. The post is just for myself, for the memory that it was nothing more.


And it’s a sad sight, the architecture is beautiful, in its empty state it even looks like a palace in some places. But according to the powers that be, it is easier to build a new plant nearby than to reconstruct this one. Time passed, the plant collapsed, but no one built a new plant nearby.
