Kremenchug: Where to go and what to see. Kremenchug

Kremenchug is a huge industrial city (224 thousand inhabitants, and with satellite cities and all half a million) in a hundred kilometers from Poltava, Kirovograd (Kropyvnytskyi) and Dnipro (Optrovsk) a. With the one shown by Poltava, it corresponds to approximately as Cherepovets with Vologda: there is administrative and cultural, and here is an economic and transport center. But the uniqueness of the Kremenchug is that it stands on the two banks of the Dnieper in about the place where the historical Little Taloria was replaced by the historical Novorossia, and this is indicative: the results of the elections in Kremenchug are unmistakably predicted by the results of the elections in Kremenchug. But in terms of sightseeing here, let's say straight, frankly boring ...

From Poltava to Krechenchug, I drove on a private minibus, the phone of which I learned on one of the Poltava bus station. In the cabin turned movies, and what is characteristic of Russian. I looked at the screen more than the window, the minibus jumped one of the killed roads on the Colds, which I know (not Lviv Parcarpathia, of course, but comparable), but at some point I saw the edge of the eyes that the landscape outside the window changed:

Kremenchug, in contrast to almost all those shown earlier in this series of cities, did not have the ancient Russian past. But from the 14th century, the victories of Lithuania over the Golden Horde, the fishing farm has been known at this place, near which "river bank" was created (the base of the Cossack flotilla held under the control of Tatar crossings), and in 1637 - the fortress, together with Kodakov (prototype) held under the gun already Zaporizhzhya Schish. The Cossacks, of course, were also not confused, and in the same year, the Cossack Slobodka hooks appeared on the right bank of the Dnieper, well, and then the Cossacks were completely driven by Poles. With Hetmanshene, Kremenchug has already been listed by the city, but in fact he remained a deaf periphery until 1764, when it was first said in the Russian capitals - "Novorossia to be!". On the lands of the wild field, on Zaporizhzhya nomads, to which the colonies of Serbov-Berbonar were added, the Novorossiysk province was established, and Kremenchug as the lowest city at that time in the Dnieper became its center, and formally remained such before 1783, and in fact - and before 1796, so far, Caterinoslav was built below the Dnieper. Then Kremenchug and returned Malorossy at all, and since 1802 he became the county town of Poltava province. But those 30 years have not passed the gift - the city managed to get rich, get rid of connections and traditions, and did not hurry to take positions, by the beginning of the twentieth century with a population of 61 thousand people remaining the largest city of the entire Left Bank Norse, surpassing the provincial Poltava and Chernigov. But alas - the city was a storm with the face of the land of war, and in the Longsovtsevtsky time finally reborn into an industrial giant. In 1958, he released his first truck, the famous KRAZ, in 1960 gave the first current Kremenchugaya HPP in Svetlovodsk (then he was called Khrushchev, while Nikita Sergeyvich himself canceled this name, submitting to them the same law), in 1966 earned the largest oil refinery in Ukraine (in terms of capacity is comparable, but it only works at 25-30%), in 1970 - the Komsomolsky mining and processing plant, the most important, along with the supplier of raw materials for Ukrainian metallurgy, for which the city of Komsomolsk was specially built, recently renamed the Gorishyn village (top ) Floating. That is, that we have in essence: absolutely Mid-Ukrainian on history and location city with absolutely East Ukrainian industrial contemporary.

I had two walks on Kremenchugu - I came here at dusk, squeezed out of them everything could dohemna, and I left for a taxi in a fightening hotel somewhere in the depths of the warzing industrial zone. In the morning, I went to walk literally with the first rays of the sun - until the evening, I had to have a simple hitchhiking jerk to Kirovograd through Chigirin with three cities walks, and there was a literally every minute. I passed the station, however, in both walks, and I can't really remember what kind of frames morning, and on what evening.

The railway came here in 1870, the same as in Poltava, the highway Kharkov-Nikolaev and even with the same tract. Moreover, the highway since 1888 was actually Libavo-Kremenchug, taking Baltic not just with a Ukrainian resident, but with Dnipro and became the Black Sea. Old station, the same as in Poltava, was destroyed in the war:

Behind the station - Promsons, single-storey suburbs, distant microdistrict, known under the general dialing name, and with the station Square there is a 350-meter winding overpass:

Privinal, and once the fairground is marked by St. George's chapel. In 2006, it was built by railway workers in memory of Georgy Kirp, Minister of Transport of Ukraine, by origin (Khmelnica) and a career (Lviv railway) of an explicit vestman, but at the same time, moderately pro-Russian views. Undoubtedly, the fact that "Ukrainized" with him flourished that I myself remember very well on the visits to Ukraine in 2004, and they were built with it - and Russia did not dream of such roads or such trains and train stations. More than once came across the opinion that it was Kirpa who could be a potential Savior of Ukraine, who would provide the country to develop, would not allow polarization and would not give the oligarchic game of the throne. But after the 2004 elections, Kirpa shot himself, and if it was true, there was a suicide (in what, as it is not difficult to guess, there are big doubts), then maybe he just understood what curved the track was his country? And however, it is evilatively that his chapel was perpetuated here in the median city.

Mostly the center of Kremenchug looks like that, and frankly, this is one of the most durable cities that I have seen. The old town was destroyed by war, and the large industry came here only during Khrushchev and Brezhnev, so the appearance of Kremenchug is determined by the five-story buildings and the most primitive version of Staliance, at the foot of which the "county" houses come across. At the same time, the city is well-groomed, lively (not at 6 am, of course, when this frame was removed) and clearly rich - local plants, especially mechanical engineering, work better, and the loss of markets at least could compensate for the army.

Kremenchug is divided into two districts - Avtozavodsky and Kryukovsky, different so much that I would call them separate controversial cities. The border of them is the most logical to present the Dnieper, but no: the Kryukovsky district besides Zarechny Kryukov includes the center of Kremenchug with the station, the auto plant covers industrial areas of the corruption and the oil industry away from the river. Both of my walks started from the station, but in different directions and to different areas.

Walk first, evening. Avtozavodsky district.

From the station in a straight line there is a short noisy street of Khalamenyuk, and opposite the stationary area - superior parking in front of the Amstor shopping center. Then I bought dinner in it, and now on Wikimapia, it is marked closed. Further on the street - DC "Kredmash", and I broke my head for a long time over what the technique does it (banking equipment?), Until I realized that this means the Kremenchug Road Machinery Plant, which produces asphalt installation plants. He originated in the 1870s, then releasing, like most machine-building factories of south, agricultural motor. His little platform - immediately for DC, and from the facade of DC, the Cathedral Street begins (at the time of the trip - Lenin), which will come in hand in time to us in the second walk.

On the other hand, the plant is a city garden, laid down by another Potemkin in 1787, for the visit of Catherine II in the then center of Novorossia:

On the contrary, the Space Square with a simple Trinity Church (1999) and the Monument to Komsomolets (1972), I do not know, decommunicated since then or not yet.

The church looks much more interesting as "in the profile" than from the apse, but I did not fit closer to her. This is the succession of the old Trinity church (1915), demolished in the 1930s. Nowadays I met the turnover of the Trinity Church at the Power Plant:

The power plant itself is a little further, behind the church of a five-reed disconnection separating the Avtozavodsky district, which is departed wide to the spacious prospect of freedom, at the time of the trip, the former 5th anniversary of October is the 60th anniversary of October - precisely by this time, judging by the appearance, and formed the area.

And from the power station and the fire department, he began to begun - although the power plant itself pulls in the 1920s, and the fire complex and at all at the pre-revolutionary, in fact, all this was built by 1950:

Graffiti on the wall of the power plant with shadows believed people:

Most of the prospectus of freedom looks like this, and the power of Brezhnev regions in the industrial cities of Ukraine is invariably impressive:

20 minutes I walked until the next square in the development of roads to Poltava and Kiev:

There is a "McDonalds", but I took a picture not:

Opposite the fountain - the memorial "eternally alive" (1973) on the site of one of the camp of prisoners of war. They were somewhat in Kremenchug, and up to 100 thousand people died. Here the scene's hero is a military doctor who in the departed by the Germans Hospital Thai treated and wounded captives, for which in the end was executed.
Kremenchug according to Ukrainian standards such a rich city, which can afford to support the eternal flame:

The Memorial opens the Zhilgorodok (1950-52), a kind of historical center of the Avtozavodsky district. On the same area there is a typical post-war Palace of Culture Clause:

A little solid, industrial buildings of all kinds of old mills and factories are watching:

But only the old church survived from the temples (1910), in the 1990s, became the Orthodox Nikolsk Church:

In one of the courtyards near the main street, a synagogue was attached, with a closer examination, it turned out to be a new model:

It is not quite obvious that almost half of the population of district Kremenchug, that is, about 30 thousand people, the Jews were, and among the county cities, a larger community could only boast. There were 3 choral synagogues and 30 challenging houses, but also there was no famous Hasidianssic Tsadik or Writer to Yiddish, so nothing is reminded about the past scale.

But the Orthodox churches in Kremenchug were a little (). For example, the Savior Transfiguration Church (1801-20) among the endless quarters of the Meshchansk houses:

And although there are now high-rise buildings in their place, from many courtyards, a completely Chekhov district did not destroy the day to this day:

And in some places, the appearance of which is the most accurate of everything describes the word "ku":

Now we will pass towards the Dnieper on the main street - now the Cathedral, under the advice of Lenin, and in times they are at all Ekaterininskaya. In a kilometer from the already familiar DK "Kredmash", it takes place between Stalinok- "Gate":

Next door mandatory in the industrial town of Stalinka with a tower:

And then there was a former October Square between the Cathedral and Parallel Street of Igor Serdyuk, and in July renamed Oleg Babayev Square. The last, with a completely incredible patronymic Maidanovich is not a hero of heavenly hundred or ATO, and the local township killed in the summer of 2014, and I do not assume that it was he who prevented and as far as popular in the people. In the square, a monument to the Soldier-liberator, delivered in 1949, when the burnt ruins were still lying:

At the end of the boulevard - a monument to the victims of repression and a couple of old houses: from here to the Dnieper, their concentration will be the greatest. The frame is removed in the essence of the case from their former yard, and Igor Facades overlooking the parallel street I managed to watch. The left belonged to Condettra Silayev, the right-burgomaster of the Cossack. But the strangest building of this former courtyard is a turret, similar to the chapel extended at councils, is now busy cafe:

Ahead of another, stripped tower:

Another piece of pre-revolutionary with a mosaic on the former firewall:

Behind the next intersection - Bank (1900-03):

At first glance, it seems strange that the pruring part of the city has been preserved better than the districts away from Dnipro. But the fact is that the strongest war destroyed the city on the western banks of the rivers - the Germans went to the east to Blitzkrieg, we retreated to the west, clinging for every span, and most likely, having lost the fortified outskirts, from the coastal preferred to move away to the fortified positions for the Dnieper, not Being waiting until the Red Army starts to trammed them in the river. On the backyards of the bank - a very touching monument "First day after the war", and the backyards themselves are drawn to the deserted area of \u200b\u200bVictory:

Opposite him to Maidan stood clearly not typical Ilyich. The appearance of his "hemp" intermediate between regional centers (where they are usually painted with plot graffiti yes painted by verses) and the outback (where they stand lonely).

On the left - a monument to the fighters of the revolution (1938), I do not know if almost a year later. Apparently, in the title of Square we are talking about victory in the Civil War:

To the Great Patriotic War, the main temple complex of the Umbered Kremenchug - Assumption Cathedral (1808-14) of the authorship of Giacomo Kurengy and the Winter Church-Bell Tower Alexander Nevsky (1858-63):

And the Alexandrovsky Real School (1878), now college. In general, it seems that really beautiful county Kremenchug has never been, but was something like Krivoy Horn or Surgut, only the 19th century - a big and rich city, not too taking care of his appearance. An overview of the surviving architectural monuments is in Ukrainian Wikipedia.

We are getting closer closer to the river facade, to the transition from the left bank of Ukraine to the right. Below the Victory Square is a Dnieper Park, in which there are many and completely well-groomed angles, but I am more remembered painted by mysterious inscriptions abandoned cinema. Mysterious inscription "Elephants not died" apparently reminds that's about this episode When the circus elephants grated in one of the squares of Kremenchug.

And on the edge of the park - the oldest buildings of the Kremenchug, the set of military settlements headquarters (1853-54) in place and possibly with fragments of even older pretty places in Novorossiysk province:

I came out on the rocky Dnieper bank, fortunately, before that episode, so I pulled it calmly. Dnipro is here in his estabular bed, and let's say right - not very wide, God forbid if Polkilometer. In the middle - a rocky island fantasy, where it is probably well to retire on the opposite city:

Under the Pridneprovsky Park - the granite embankment as it were not for the 18th century, at least in pre-revolutionary photos it is:

At the end of which - the granite registry, that is, the rock, on a flat stone of which, from the end of the 18th century, the flood level is fixed. Such were in other cities, for example, under Zaporizhia, but most of them with the construction of HPP went into the water forever, the same most likely, on the contrary, never floods.

I went downstream. The river station looks like "with a needle", although there are no passenger ships for a long time. The pre-revolutionary Kremenchug was one of the largest ports of the Dnieper, and even the first tram in it went from the station to the shipping pier:

The deserted beach can be seen a Kryukovsky bridge, which means it has come time to go through the Dnieper:

What I did on a minibus, taking pictures of its rear window. The bridge was built in 1945-49, and luxurious pylons from two ends resemble that this also a monument to victory. Its length is not really very high - 1.2 kilometers, but subjective bridge seems ambitious. Below in the flow in the water there were still frangments of the supports of the old bridge built in 1872 for the Kharkov-Nikolaev Railway.

The Right Beach meets the monument (1940) the sailors of the Dnieper flotilla, who fought at the Civil War, and the poster-testimony of the new war.

The Kryukovsky Posad took shape in front of the Kremenchug fortress in the 17th century, and the first inhabitants of him were the Cossacks, who looked around, the exact saber, and smoking the tubes, behind the Poles, who looked at the Kremenchug bastions behind them. In 1752-64, the borders of New Serbia were quartered here, with the abolition of which the hooks became the place of the Novorossiysk province, and with its abolition - was included in the composition of Kremenchug. They say, actually local self-government worked until 1817, refusing to submit to the river to the river, but in any case, Kremenchug became the first city on the two banks of the Dnieper - he overshadowed the river only at the end of the 19th century, Kiev and Zaporizhia just at all at the councils, a and cities One shore is even now. But for the feelings of hooks - still another city, more quiet, sleepy and dilapidated, than a completely regional rhythm of the life of Kremenchug. There is here and its industrial giant - the Kryukovsky trap, based on the arrival of the railway in 1768 and eventually became one of the main in the USSR. It costs quite far from the Dnieper, the facade is facing the opposite center to the side of the prison slobs, but I did not go there, the more the factory is considered a military and risks to sleep again and I didn't want to risk it at all.

The long street of the narrow triangular Kryukov leads the long street of Ivan Prikukov, and here is the name to some extent colonial - in honor of the most successful director of the left-bank crazing: "Hooks - Cremenchuk!". In its principle, eyeliki predominate - here, unlike the center, the pruringonal part was destroyed more:

And Churkin (1901) with an extremely beautiful lantern:

Not a house, but the gate. Over the railway there is another Assumption Cathedral (of course, not a couple of debris) and the house-museum Anton Makarenko, youth held in Kryukov.

But mostly hooks look like this:

At the station hooks from the old days, only this house with the laid windows remained:

The old station was clearly typical, but still more interesting what is in its place now:

The most remarkable building of the district is the DC named after Kotlov (1925-27) in late until Soviet times, but a completely recognizable style of Ukrainian modern:

And in general, I agree with the fact that I did not see a lot in Kremenchug. But I was in a hurry and was tired, and in a situation where this visit to Ukraine may well be the last, frankly regrolled the time spent on Kremenchug. Maybe I will come here to go comfortable here, it would be different impression, but I remember Kremenchug to be remembered the most dull from the largest cities of Ukraine.

At the monument to the fighters of the Dnieper flotilla, on a quiet street between high-rise buildings and Dnipro smoothies, I caught a Pazik to the city of Hydroenergy Svetlovodsk, who had long asleep on the hills of the High Right Coast, with whom the trees were opened by the blue reservoir. In Svetlovodsk, I jumped on a bus to the side of Chigirin, intending to drive a document in it possible and to Chigirin himself continue to break through the hitchhiker. The fact that from this came out - in the next part. The end is already close, and I tired of all this topic even more than you ...

History of Kremenchuga

Base

The official date of the founding of Kremenchug falls for 1571. Polish king Sigismund II signed a universal in which he indicated that it was necessary to build a fortress to protect the Dnieper from the permanent attacks of the Crimean Tatars. The name of the city takes from the Turkish word "Kremenchuk" and means "little fortress".

City on Dnipro

In 1638, the fortress was erected in the town, the plan of which was a military engineer from France by Guillaume Levasser de Bonplan. At the same time, there were already mentioned hooks.

Kremenchug was a trading city where the fairs were arranged, who visited merchants from different cities and countries, and also constantly sold grain, forest and salt.

History in the composition of tsarist Russia

In 1764, Kremenchug was as part of the Novorossiysk province and in 1765-1783 was considered its provincial city.

During the Russian-Turkish war (1787-1791), Russian troops were based in the city. It was then that a weapon plant with blacksmith, plumbing, foundry and other workshops was built here. And in 1788, the famous commander of the hospital was treated in the Kremenchug hospital, Alexander Suvorov, who was injured during the Kinburg battle.

From 1796, the city began to refer to the Malorossiysk province, due to the disappearance of Ekaterinoslav pricing. In 1798, Kremenchug had his coat of arms, and in 1802 he became the county town of Poltava province.

In 1782, here, for the first time in the country, a conservatory was opened. The reason for the discovery was a visit to Kremenchug Catherine II. The director of the conservatory was Giuseppe Sarti, a composer from Italy.

Since the compound of Kremenchug with Kryukovsky Posad, he became the largest trading and industrial city in Poltava province. During this time, the cloth and stocking factories were found here, a leather plant and other enterprises, also the right bank became the center of Salt Trade.

With the development of capitalism in 1861, new plants and factories appear here, the old are rebuilt. In 1873, the railway bridge coming through the Dnieper appears. At the end of the XIX century, the railway, a power station, a library, a county school, theater, deflection and much more are already functioning, and in 1899 the first tram appears.

Kremenchug during the war

In 1943, September 29, the fifth Guards Army of the Steppe Front released the city from the invaders. It was on this day that the residents of Kremenchug celebrate the day of the city.

Post-war time: Restoration of infrastructure and active industry development

After the war, the heavy industry began to develop here, 3 Kremenchug Machine-Building Plants were built: Carriage, automotive and road vehicles. In 1959, residents first saw "cities".

For 20 years (1960-1980), a complex of chemical enterprises were built in the city, the most powerful CHP in the region, one of the most powerful oil refining factory and, of course, new homes.

But the city can boast the proximity of the crushing of the Dnieper - is surrounded by a variety of green islands.

And if you are an independent traveler, then finding the answer to this question will be even more difficult. So what to do if you "listed" in the industrial town? Where to go to hold your leisure time?

Kremenchug, located in the Poltava region, leads its history from the 16th century. He began with a fortress designed to protect the surrounding territory and crossing the Dnieper. The name of the city inhabitants most often associated with the word "flint", which confirms the frequent use of it in local everyday life. Kremenchug - the city of industrial, giving 7% of the budget of Ukraine. Local products were known in the Soviet Union. For example, Craz trucks are manufactured here. The presence of a large number of plants has its own negative and positive parties for the settlement. To the last, except for creating jobs, enterprises include the contribution of enterprises to the improvement of the city. Plant "Kredmash" landed a new birch grove.

And the passage is banging an impressive fountain.

It is installed with a wheelchair. According to sellers of outlets next door to him, there is no clear schedule for the fountain, here and today he, to their joy (on them splashes), turned off ...

Trade enterprise for the sale of flowers.

Near a small oasis.

In Kremenchug, during the Great Patriotic War, there was a concentration camp for prisoners of war and other categories of obsistent fascists of people. They killed 97 thousand people. The population of the 115th thousandthly pre-war city decreased to 18 thousand by the end of the war.

A new church has been built in the square. Or around the new church is equipped with Square.

The bells are clearly temporary. Although, what can be constant temporary structures?

Immediately a monument to the Komsomol residents of the 20s of the 20th century from the Komsomol residents of the 60s. Probably quite deserved, because Those took an active part in the formation of the urban industry. I wonder if they will remember the good word of the current young guys? And for what?

In one of the parks he met the old man's time. According to his person, it was necessary to assume that there was once a place of belonging to culture. Does he remember that time? Or is indifferent waiting for a certain fate of the thorough end?

I am on the barn of the Methan, scrapers scrapers ...

In many places, the urban areas of the sidewalk tiles are now actively underway. Especially where the leadership of the settlement owns it. Kremenchug does not lag behind in this work. At the work stadium almost ended. It remains to lay only a small plot in the middle ...

In the city you can meet the panel to the entire wall of the house remaining from the Soviet period.

Fire calans, in the absence of church dominant, very by the way.

DK Auto Plant. Judging by his state, production continues. Although in Russia Kraz is now in the wonder.

At the time of office planktonization of the underage part of the population of civilized countries, strong men's hands are transferred to the category of rarities. (Kremenchug with his considerable fraction of workers among the citizens this concerns, of course, less). Those who wish to lay, how they should look and touch steel muscles, can pass into the courtyard of the local "Vodokanla".

Kremenchug strongly suffered during the Great Patriotic War. Naturally, after her graduation, the city was restored.

These houses are like those who built the captured Germans and their allies throughout the USSR.

The city attempted to separate garbage collection.

But whether the types of tanks are missing, whether the holes for the reception of garbage are not enough. Or did a bunch made some kind of conservative resident?

It would hardly approved A.S. Makarenko, the Great Educator who received a pedagogical education here, and here began to work as a teacher. Now in the courtyard of the school monument to him and children.

Nearby. In the meadow, in the meadow, in the meadow they graze about ...? (Or, rather, Lo ...).

Not bad Orthodox churches are obtained by simple alterations from Catholic churches.

Religious structures in the city a little. In the area there was another chapel of the railway station.

And the new Catholic Church.

I think that it is worth the possession of the wishes of Taras Grigorievich and remember him. Quiet word. The man was good. He just did not know that his statements would be disassembled by quotes and posted on the streets of all cities of Ukraine. Otherwise, they would prepare them more.

It is good that in the current state he appeared a very productive assistant.

For urban veterans, a concert was arranged.

The Military Orchestra reminded them of the years of youth.

Architecture veterans are closer. Many of them need to repair facades.

But surrounded by thick vegetation, these buildings look more fun.

Some vintage mansions look quite decent.

In the turret, similar to the chapel of the cafe "Beijing".

Another commercial institution of Eastern appearance.

In Kremenchug was Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin.

Academician Vernadsky here collected bricks for the foundation of their theory about the biosphere.

Modern students from theory switched to practice, and support the acceptable state of the biosphere, removing the garbage for non-conscious citizens on the embankment.

I must say that the embankment in Kremenchug is good.

She is shorter than in Dnepropetrovsk, and not so large-scale, but continued with magnificent beaches.

On all over the shore of the Dnieper, the park zone stretches. The scale of the created along the Dnieper suggests that the Soviet leadership had certain types of Kremenchug. But something did not work out. Perhaps just did not have time, because Started restructuring ...

In dense thickets there are quite a few animals.

Not all of them managed to pass this difficult period in the life of the country, but it is worth hoping that the wisdom would be a bone (in this case, the armature) - the meat is growing "this time will work ...

Widely known in narrow circles urban pike.

A rare boat will flow until the middle of the Dnieper. But, if it woofs, it can detect a comfortable sandy sandy.

Next to the parks are central square. Part of it is given to children.

Vladimir Ilyich thought was satisfied "this generation will live with communism." But, remembering that the objective reality is little depends on the imagination, I decided at the end of the phrase, just in case, add a question mark.

Memories of the first day after the war. Probably, there were no such happiness for our people before, nor after this important event.

The memory of the destroyed cathedral. Perhaps someday it will be restored.

The river station was just repaired.

There is a different sculpture around it. The main topic is a female beauty.

Have a good man should be a lot?
