60 years ago the city of Voroshilov was renamed Ussuriysk
In the fall of 1957, a large wave of renaming took place in the Soviet Union. The name of everything that was in one way or another connected with the names of prominent statesmen and political figures who led the country at that time changed. In the Primorsky Territory, they also found something to rename. There were collective farms and districts here. But the largest settlement that received a new name was the city of Voroshilov, now known as Ussuriysk. But we couldn’t find an answer why it’s called that way.
You need to be more modest
The wave of renamings was a direct continuation of the exposure of Joseph Stalin’s personality cult, noted a doctor of historical sciences who wished to remain anonymous. This happened a year after Nikita Khrushchev announced his report “On the Cult of Personality and Its Consequences” at the 20th Congress of the CPSU in 1956.
On September 11, 1957, on behalf of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, a Decree was published with a long but eloquent title - “On streamlining the matter of assigning names of state and public figures to territories, regions, districts, as well as cities and other settlements, enterprises, collective farms, institutions and organizations "
The document noted that in the matter of naming administrative centers, enterprises, etc., the names of Soviet statesmen and public figures, major shortcomings and deviations from Leninist traditions were made. Lenin taught Soviet people to be modest and was an implacable opponent of the glorification of his name. For the first time, the name of Lenin was given to the cities of Leningrad and Ulyanovsk after his death, the decree notes. But during the period of the spread of the cult of personality, the names of state and public figures, even during their lifetime, began to be assigned to a large number of districts, cities, etc. This practice leads to the undue exaltation of individuals, belittling the role of the party. The decree recognized the need to stop further assigning to territories, regions, etc., the names of state, socio-political figures, scientists and cultural figures during their lifetime. This could only be done posthumously. It was also proposed to rename cities, towns, etc., if they were given the names of government and public figures who were alive at that time.
It was after this decree that the city of Perm, which had been called Molotov for 17 years, was returned to its historical name, and in the Primorsky Territory, the largest city that received a new name was Ussuriysk (formerly Voroshilov). Ironically, one of the two signatures on the document belonged to the Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, Kliment Voroshilov.
City of People's Commissar Voroshilov
The village of Nikolskoye, formed in 1866, was given the status of a city in 1898 and given the name Nikolsk-Ussuriysky in honor, as noted by the above-mentioned doctor of historical sciences, St. Nicholas the Ugodnik. The definition of “Ussuri”, indicated by the site toponimika.ru, is given to distinguish it from the mountains. Nikolsk in the Vologda region: “The immediate reason for its appearance was the unofficial name of the area gravitating towards this river, the Ussuri Territory.” In 1935, the city was renamed Voroshilov in honor of Kliment Voroshilov, who was in Nikolk-Ussuriysky as People's Commissar for Military and Naval Affairs from July 31 to August 2, 1931. By the way, as local historian Nikolai Panichkin reports in his book “Ussuri Chronograph”, the title “Voroshilov Shooter” was born in Nikolsk-Ussuri after Voroshilov scored 69 points out of a possible 70 from a revolver at the Baranovsky shooting range.
Presented with a fact?
On October 7, 1957, by decision of the executive committee of the Primorsky Regional Council of Workers' Deputies, the city of Voroshilov was given the name Ussuriysk. By the same decree, the Voroshilovsky rural district was renamed the Slavyansky rural district (since 1963 - Ussuriysky), the Budenovsky district - to Partizansky, and the Voroshilovsky district of Vladivostok - to Pervomaisky. The decision of the executive committee was sent to the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, which two months later approved the renaming. On December 13 of the same year, the local newspaper “Kommunar”, in the “chronicle” section, notified the residents of the now former Voroshilov that their city was now called Ussuriysk. It would seem that people who only yesterday were Voroshilovites were simply presented with the fact that they would live in a city with a new name. But perhaps this was not the case. When deciding to change the names, the regional executive committee of the Council of Workers' Deputies declared that it was taking into account the proposals of citizens and district executive committees. True, the document prepared by the Voroshilovites for the regional executive committee with wishes to rename the city of Voroshilov to Ussuriysk could not be found. And in the minutes of the six sessions of the Voroshilov City Council of Workers' Deputies held in 1957 and the minutes of meetings of deputy groups, this issue was not reflected.
Why Ussuriysk?
The very origin of the city's name remains a mystery. Neither local historians nor professional historians, including candidates and doctors of historical sciences, can say for sure why the city is called “Ussuriysk”. According to one version, this is an attempt to return the former name “Nikolsk-Ussuriisky”, only without the name “Nikolsk”, since in Soviet times the city could not be identified with the name of Nikolai Ugodnik. The initiators of the naming of Ussuriysk may have kept in mind the fact that this settlement was the center of the Ussuri region from 1934 to 1943. The word “Ussuri” was never lost; at least, it continued to be present in the name of the railway station, from 1935 to 1957 called Voroshilov-Ussuriysky.
Begin with yourself
Not only Voroshilov, Budenovsky district, Voroshilovsky district of Vladivostok, but also other areas, settlements and enterprises received new names. The Molotovsky district was renamed Oktyabrsky, the Voroshilov state farm No. 4 was renamed Krasnoyarovsky, the state farm named after. Molotov - to Sinilovsky, state farm named after. Voroshilov - to Luchkovsky, state farm named after. Budyonny - to Vostok. The former Molotovskaya MTS became known as Feodosevskaya, the Budenovskaya meadow reclamation station - Ruzhinskaya, the plant named after. Voroshilov - Dalzavod. And this list is far from complete. The collective farm named after Khrushchev, called “10th October,” was also among those renamed. As they say, when you fight the cult of personality, start with yourself.
By the decision of collective farmers
Documents have been preserved indicating that, although the renaming was carried out in accordance with the decree of September 11, it was still proposed locally to give a new name to a particular locality or organization. The documents concern the Khankaisky, Yakovlevsky and Kalininsky (now Dalnerechensky) districts. The executive committees of the regional Soviets of Workers' Deputies applied to the regional committee with a request to change their names only after reviewing the minutes of general meetings of collective farmers. As the minutes of such meetings show, it was at such events that it was decided what the collective farm would be called. And the issue of renaming itself could not leave local residents aside. General meeting of the collective farm named after. Voroshilov, which later became known as “Kolos”, was attended by 57 people, and the meeting of the collective farm named after. Molotov, who became the “Testaments of Ilyich” - 140 people (both in the Yakovlevsky district).

Historical sketch
Founded in 1866 as the village of Nikolskoye by settlers from the Astrakhan and Voronezh provinces. Named after the church consecrated in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. In 1868 it was burned by the Honghuzes, then restored. The village was a district village of the South Ussuri district of the Primorsky region. In the materials of the population census of 1897 it is mentioned as Nikolsk-Ussuriisky.
In 1898, when the village of Nikolskoye merged with the village of Ketritsevo (it arose as a station village), the city of Nikolsk was formed. In 1926 it was renamed Nikolsk-Ussuriysky. The definition of Ussuri is given to distinguish it from the city of Nikolsk in the Vologda region. This definition is only indirectly related to the name of the river. Ussuri (the right tributary of the Amur), since the city is located about 150 km from it. The immediate reason for its appearance was the unofficial name of the area gravitating towards this river, the Ussuri region.
In 1935-57. was called Voroshilov (in the 1937 census data - Voroshilovsk) after the name of the Soviet party and military leader K.E. Voroshilov (1881-1969). In 1957, Ussuriysk was named.

Architecture, sights
Ussuriysk is located on a plain and has a regular layout with straight, green streets. On the banks of the Razdolnaya River there is the Green Island park.
A medieval monument - a stone sculpture of a turtle, personifying longevity (installed on the graves of members of the imperial family of the Jurgen state, 12th century).
Cities are renamed very often. History knows a lot of examples when one city changed its name several times during the period of its existence. In such a situation, confusion can occur, so it is not at all surprising that many are wondering what Voroshilovgrad is called now. In order to answer this question, it is necessary to delve a little deeper into the past. The history of this city has quite a large number of different glorious names and pages that the townspeople are proud of, but what it is most famous for is the number of name changes. He was even called a champion at it.
By decree of Catherine II
Back in 1795, Catherine II signed a decree on the construction of the Lugansk iron foundry on the Lugan River, near the village of Kamenny Brod. It, in fact, became a city-forming enterprise. In order to provide the plant with the necessary supplies, several hundred families were brought there, mainly from the Kherson, Olonets and Lipetsk plants.
In fact, the Lugansk plant became the first such large metallurgical enterprise in the southern part of Russia. He supplied the Black Sea Fleet with shells and cannons, and the entire country with cast iron. Thanks to this enterprise, the Battle of Borodino became what we know it to be. Also, guns from the Lugansk plant took part in the Crimean War.
Contribution of Alexander III
Continuing to search for the answer to the question of what Voroshilovgrad is called now, we are getting closer to the essence. Emperor Alexander III on September 3, 1882 raised the village together with the Lugansk plant “to the level of a county town under the name of Lugansk.” It was from this moment that the settlement that grew up around this plant can officially be considered a city.
In the same year, the City Duma was assembled, which, naturally, was located in one of the best buildings on Kazanskaya Street. In 1903, the city's coat of arms was approved.
From this time on, Lugansk acquired industry and grew right before our eyes. And by 1905, more than 39 industrial enterprises could be counted, not counting small (or even handicraft) industries.
Active development of the city
Even though the development of the city was not supported by any officially approved plan, a colossal sum of 20 million rubles at that time was allocated for these purposes. The first street was English, as specialists from England lived there and were invited to work at the foundry. The well-known doctor at that time, I.M., was also invited. Dal, who later became the father of the world-famous ethnographer Vladimir Ivanovich Dal, who later compiled the “Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language.” By the way, he even took the self-explanatory pseudonym Kazak Lugansky.
Voroshilovgrad (as it is called now, everyone understands) had at that time more than 10 religious buildings. Unfortunately, only a few have survived to this day due to the destruction of the 30s. XX century.
Voroshilovgrad: meaning of the word, definition of the word
Of course, one can argue for a very long time on the issue of renaming cities and what Voroshilovgrad is now called, because every time you read historical or fiction literature, you come across different names for the same city, so confusion may arise.
So, on November 5, 1935, by the Decree of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR, the city of Lugansk became officially known as Voroshilovgrad.
Of course, this event was preceded by the September awarding of the title of Marshal of the Soviet Union to five commanders, among whom was Voroshilov. Despite the fact that this decision was made not at the local level, but in Moscow, residents of the former Lugansk accepted it with enthusiasm. Quite large-scale campaigns for this purpose were immediately launched, for example, the “Voroshilov Campaign” subbotnik, which was accompanied by the slogan “Wash off the accumulated dirt over the centuries from the face of the city.”
Moreover, Voroshilov himself put a lot of effort into developing this city. Construction of new schools, opening of two tram routes, asphalt streets, creation of a cultural park, landscaping and much more. By the way, it was thanks to him that in 1938 the region began to be called Voroshilovgrad,
There is also evidence that Voroshilov did not leave this city in subsequent years. Thus, a military school for pilots, a youth theater, a palace of culture, an opera and ballet theater, clubs, Russian regional cinemas, a regional puppet theater, a children's regional library and much more were created.
Lugansk again
Despite the fact that Lugansk was previously called Voroshilovgrad, already in 1957 the question of renaming it was raised. This is due to the fact that a Decree was issued which prohibited naming cities after living people, despite their achievements.
So, the very next year, in 1958 (March 5), Voroshilovgrad became Lugansk again. Moreover, many witnesses to those events unanimously said that they did not fully understand why it was necessary to urgently rename not only the city, but also all the streets overnight and even dismantle the monuments. So, in the morning people walked to work along Voroshilovskaya Street, and in the evening they returned along Oktyabrskaya Street.
Many say that they remember very well that night when the monument was dismantled under the light of searchlights, and many could not sleep at all not from the noise of the operating equipment, but because of some kind of anxiety in their souls. Monuments are erected to people for a reason, but for outstanding services, and therefore their dismantling is a kind of blasphemy. But it is worth saying that the decree was initiated by Voroshilov himself.
Voroshilovgrad again
In order to be aware of the name of the city of Voroshilovgrad at a particular time, it is necessary to monitor the political mood in the country and various events. So, for example, on December 3, 1969, Kliment Efremovich Voroshilov died. The very next month, in order to perpetuate his memory, it was decided to rename the city of Lugansk again.
It is worth noting that by that time the memory of the townspeople had not yet cooled; they again accepted this idea with all cordiality.
Last renaming
Here we come to what the city of Voroshilovgrad is now called. On May 4, 1990, the settlement was returned to its original name, it again became Lugansk.
The history of this city is striking not only in the large number of different renames, but also in the fact that it has always been considered the heart of the entire USSR thanks to hardworking people who know how to work and know how to do it.
Now everyone knows what Voroshilovgrad is now called, and even despite the fact that all its renamings are far in the past, residents have not forgotten about the history of their city, and even now, every now and then, initiatives arise to return the historical name to the city.
Modern Lugansk
In fact, any renaming of the city should have some territorial, cacophony-related, political, etc. reasons behind it. But be that as it may, they must be quite strong and justified, not only because this entails some definitely large costs, but also because renaming is immediately followed by changes in history, both in the memory of the inhabitants and in their fate.
If you turn your attention to the existing list of all cities that have been renamed, then most of them are in the camps. This was due to the fact that the cities were first given the names of politicians, after which their original names were returned, and so on in a circle. Despite this, Voroshilovgrad (as it is called now, we found out) was and remains a city of eternal labor glory. This is a city of strong men and beautiful women, which will remain so, no matter what name it has.
Unfortunately, modern Lugansk is in a state of ruin, in conditions of war. Perhaps the next change of political regime will also entail a change in the name of the city, which will turn a new page in its history.
