    In 1745, the first oil field appeared on the shores of Ukhta, it was organized by the Russian merchant and ore prospector F. S. Pryadunov. In 1746, the first oil was extracted from the field. Having collected 40 pounds of “mountain oil” in two seasons, F.S. Pryadunov brought oil to Moscow in March 1748. In 1749 - 6 pounds and in 1751 - another 22 pounds of oil were delivered to Moscow. But this did not bring the expected profit.

    F.S. Pryadunov went broke.
    For non-payment of taxes, he was sent to debtor's prison in 1752, where he died in March 1753.

Numerous expeditions were organized at Sidorov’s expense, including that of the British captain D. Wiggins, who penetrated the Ob and Yenisei several times through the Kara Sea.
    Sidorov also participated in equipping the expedition of the Swedish polar explorer A. Nordenskiöld.
    In August 1864, M.K. Sidorov organized a river shipping company on Pechora.

    In Ukhta since 1899, where in 1905 he began production drilling. From a depth of 30 fathoms oil came out - 130-150 pounds per day.

The work proceeded with long interruptions due to lack of funds.

Hopes for getting big oil were not justified, and the Partnership he organized collapsed in 1914.

  • In 1915, he built an oil refinery and began producing kerosene for the population and lubricants for the shipping company on Pechora.
  • In the spring of 1919, the area of ​​the Ukhta River was captured by the Whites, Gansberg was accused of assisting the Soviet regime and was transported to Arkhangelsk. Further fate is unknown. (Encyclopedia of the Republic of Komi, 1997).
  • Ukhtapechlag 1929 – 1938 Ukhta expedition of the OGPU.
  • In 1929, the OGPU sent a large expedition here. From Arkhangelsk, the expedition arrived by sea by steamship at the mouth of the Pechora, then by river boats to the village of Shchelyayur, and then to the village of Izhma, where the equipment was again reloaded, and the expedition set off along Izhma and Ukhta. On August 21, 1929, an expedition consisting of 125 people - prisoners (political, criminals, "domestic workers"), dispossessed kulaks, exiles, civilian workers, security guards - arrived at the mouth of the Chibyu River.
    Construction began on a village called Chibyu. There were only two old buildings on the shore when the expedition arrived.
    A 12-hour workday was introduced, seven days a week, and logging for buildings was carried out.
  • We brought a telephone to Ust-Ukhta
  • In October and December, 2 more stages of prisoners arrived, and by the beginning of 1930, according to A.N. Kaneva, there were about 200 people here.
    In 1932, a small power plant was built to illuminate the village, the first school for civilian children was opened, a workers’ camp for special settlers and colonized people, and a state farm 1 km from the mouth of Chibyu (in Ydzhyd) were founded.
    On July 1, 1933, there were 4,666 prisoners, 206 civilians, 421 colonized, and 313 special settlers in Chibyu.
  • In the summer of 1933 they were transferred to Chibya from the village. Izhma Ukhta-Pechora Mining and Oil College, for which an educational building and a dormitory were built.
    In 1933, 2 new buildings were built for the workshop (forging and mechanical departments), and new equipment appeared.
    At the same time, on the site of the old fishery of the 1920s. A one-cube, intermittently operating oil refinery was built, which began operating steadily in 1934.
  • In 1934, electricity began to be generated for industrial needs.
  • In August 1936, a decision was made to build the Ust-Vym-Chibyu railway, but it was soon revised, and in September.
  • In the same year, research began on the future Knyazhpogost-Chibyu highway. In 1936, in Chibyu there were two-story wooden houses for civilians and colonized people, barracks for prisoners, a school, an educational building and a dormitory for a mining college, a club theater (a theater troupe of prisoners was organized in the camp), a park with a summer theater, a department store, and a stadium. , a canteen, a hotel, there was a water supply system, a sewerage system, a radio network, and the camp newspapers “Northern Miner” (since 1931) and “Vyshka” were published.".
  • The village was officially divided into streets: Zavodskaya, Komsomolskaya, Neftyanaya (Bushueva), Naberezhnaya (Gubkina), Pervomaiskaya, Oktyabrskaya, Pionerskaya (Pervomaiskaya Square).
  • In the mid-1930s. the village was often referred to even in official documents as "
    Chibyu city
  • On October 27, 1936, a mass hunger strike of protest by political prisoners of Ukhtapechlag began. For 132 days, the hunger strikers demanded the separation of political prisoners from criminals, normal food, and an 8-hour working day. In the summer of 1937, there were 6,890 prisoners here.
    (According to the Ukhta-Pechora branch of the Memorial Society, in 1937-1938 the following were executed: in the village of Chibyu - 86 prisoners, in the region of the Ukhtarka River - 1,779. In just 2 of these years, they were executed in various ways, without deaths from hunger and disease - 2,614 people).
  • On October 26, 1938, the village of Chibyu, Izhemsky district, was transformed into a workers’ village;

The camp authorities ceded leadership to the civil administration.

  • Ukhtarka. Cemetery without name
    This place cannot be called a cemetery in the civilized sense of the word.
    The burial is located on the Ukhtarka stream, which flows into the Ukhta River in its upper reaches - in the forest. You can only get there on foot. In 1749 - 6 pounds and in 1751 - another 22 pounds of oil were delivered to Moscow. The burial site is marked by several rough wooden crosses driven into the ground.
REFERENCE
    This burial is connected with the horrors of the camp authorities’ abuse of prisoners, and the events that took place near these places in 1937-1938.
    This is how an eyewitness describes the events that took place in those distant times (quoted verbatim): “Every night they executed people on Ukhtarka. During the day, prisoners dug graves for themselves, and at night they were shot. The executors lightly covered the corpses with earth, and further filling was carried out by a new batch of condemned people.
    And then I dug a grave for myself. Here's a conveyor. On one of these nights, these special commissioners locked the prisoners in the barracks, there were many, more than a hundred of them there, doused the barracks with diesel fuel and set them on fire.
    When it flared up like a torch, a pillar enclosed from the inside, apparently a pillar from a bunk, managed to knock down the door of the barracks. But those who ran out of this fire were mowed down to death with a machine gun by the guys from that security officer’s team.”

  • These places are considered “bad”. Several people disappeared in these forests.
  • They explain this by the frivolity of tourists. The caves are not visible from above, but one careless step and a person falls deep into the earth. It is almost impossible to get out of such a cave alone. And one more thing - in the territory of karst caves there is a high concentration of burials of former prisoners, many of whom lived in terrible conditions and died long before natural death..
  • MINERAL SPRINGS with healing water, located in the city area - highly mineralized, deep bromide and often iodine medicinal mineral waters.

Along the same road further you can get to a dark lake, but it’s not so interesting, there’s a swamp all around, and it itself is less pleasant to look at, but the fishing is better than the others.”

Berdnikova Yulia. The city of Ukhta - "the pearl of the North"

Chibyu - small tributary Izhma and the village of the same name, built by prisoners in the 1920s. She started the village Ukhta expedition of the OGPU, arrived 21 AB 1929. The first buildings were barrack-type log houses with a room system with a common corridor, built ordinary prisoners without participation architects. 1932 In the early 1930s, on the left bank of the Ukhta River in the area of ​​modern Mira, Oktyabrskaya, and Pervomaiskaya squares, the buildings of the camp administration, fire department, VOKhRA, Operations department, and commandant's office were built. On the right side of the river in near camp No. 1 a workers' village was built for civilian : dining room, food stall, commandant's office, red corner, medical center, bathhouse, club, one-story residential buildings of a standard type for four families each. 26 DK 1933 boss camps Moroz Ya.M. issued an order to build a new cultural center Ukhtpechlaga . The location chosen for it was a pine forest on the left bank of the Ukhta River, i.e. territory of modern historical 1934 parts of the city. The design organization quickly prepared the necessary documentation. IN a special percussion construction 1935 group and a special group for cultural and artistic design of objects under construction. Its leaders were the former artist of the Harbin Theater Mikhailov N.I. and architect-artist from Moscow Levin Yu.V. The work was supervised by the head of the camp, Moroz Ya.M., who more than once said that “the city should be bright and cheerful.” IN 1937 Architects Levitan and Zhizhimontov arrived at the design department, sentenced for counter-revolutionary activities to eight and five years, respectively. Levitan was immediately involved in work in his specialty. He designed a whole series of buildings on the street Pushkin- very expressive two-story wooden houses. Until 1945, Zhizhimontov was assigned to the art workshops of the Ukhta Theater and was only occasionally involved in design. Modern streets Oktyabrskaya, Pervomaiskaya, Krems were equipped, the buildings of a department store, a canteen, a clinic, and a house were designed Soviets , stadium. Their work is strongly influenced traditions ancient architecture. At the first stage of city construction, wood was the main building material, but this did not stop architects and builders from creating buildings using elements classical architecture: columns, porticos, colonnades. Distinctive features of this stage of construction were also

individuality 1937 each project. Next to the new houses stood oil towers, which gave a special contrast to the new city. Almost no buildings from this period have survived. The issue of creating a master plan for the construction and development of the village was also considered at meetings of the village council. Moreover, the heads of various departments of the Ukhtkombinat interfered with its creation and did not make their proposals. However, in the year 1939 - present. 1940 The first plan for the planning and development of Ukhta under the leadership of Orlov, Urban, Zhizhimontov, Levitan was completed. IN the village was renamed a city. In the first years of construction of Chibyu, each enterprise had its own design organization, which was extremely inconvenient in conditions of large-scale construction. 1937 26 OK 1937 a unified design department was created under the management of Ukhtinsky plant . IN The design department was replenished with newly arrived architects - Urban, Krushelnitskaya, Kozhevnikov, Pchelin. 1942 The architect Urban built the first three-story stone house for workers of the Ukhtinskaya Thermal Power Plant. But in military There was no major construction in Ukhta for years. During this time, the architects Levin and Pchelin died. The city continued to be a branch of Ukhtpechlag, which was part of Gulag. The extraction of radium, oil, gas, and construction of the site developed railway

Kotlas-Vorkuta; logging.
That there is a combustible domanik stone on the Ukhta River. In 1697, Peter obtained it and sent samples to Holland. But the reformer tsar never got around to Ukhta. V.N. Mainov, in his essay “The Forgotten River” (about a trip to Pechora) in the magazine “Picturesque Russia” for 1881, wrote: “...Peter had no time for Pechora, when the Neva was the same unknown country.” A paradoxical parallel can be drawn: the northern lands have now been explored, but probably only Ukhta old-timers remember that the Chibyu River was once clean and full of fish. In the minds of most townspeople, it has long been a stream, and a very dirty and smelly one.
"Red" river

On July 18, the Chibyu River amazed the townspeople with the unusual color of the water: this color was given to it by liquid flowing from a pipe under the bridge on Oktyabrskaya Street. Less than a week had passed before the Chibyu River turned red again. On the morning of July 24, colored water flowed from the same pipe. The river remained a bright “attraction” of the city until the evening.

According to the head of the environmental protection department of the Ukhta administration, Irina Yushchenko, engineers from the Spetsavtodor enterprise, which services the city’s storm water system, conducted a thorough inspection of the wells. She suggests that if the first release could be considered one-time and accidental, then the purposefulness of the unauthorized discharge is now obvious. “We will make inquiries to the city organization and find out who was repairing the heating main during this period. To carry out this work, the organization must obtain official permission from our department and fulfill the order strictly according to schedule. In addition, all waste must be transported to treatment facilities,” Yushchenko noted. On the same day, water samples were taken and sent to the testing laboratory of the Ukhtavodokanal municipal unitary enterprise.

The quality of water is characterized by its transparency, turbidity, color, smell, taste, environmental reaction, content of dissolved salts, degree of chemical, bacteriological contamination, etc. We analyzed the water from the river. Goal of the work:

analyze water taken from the river. Material and equipment:

water sample; glass vessels; test tubes, titration burette, flasks. solutions of sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, silver nitrate, barium chloride, potassium thiocyanate, lime water; universal indicator.

Progress


  1. We took water from the Chibyu River, in the middle reaches, near the recreation park for adults.

  2. We poured water into a beaker and held it up to the light. The water is very cloudy, which indicates a large number of impurities

  3. To determine the color of water, lower a white plate into a glass of water. The color of the water is brown, light brown.

  4. The smell of water is marshy, very noticeable, easily detected, which indicates putrefactive processes occurring in the water.

  5. After settling for 24 hours, a flocculent sediment of a yellowish-brown color is detected.

  6. To determine the reaction of the aquatic environment, we used a universal indicator. To do this, drop the test water onto a piece of universal indicator paper. Then the resulting color of the water was compared with the pH scale. The pH of the water being tested is about 3.5, which indicates increased acidity of the water.

  7. To determine the presence of dissolved salts, two clean and grease-free glass slides were prepared. A few drops of the test water were applied to one, and distilled water to the other. We evaporated the water from the glasses and compared them. Distilled water does not contain dissolved salts, so the glass does not turn white. A white coating on another glass indicates a large amount of dissolved salts.

  8. To determine the qualitative analysis of water for anions and cations, we used research schemes for the main solution.



  1. A quantitative analysis was made for the content of cations in the test solution using the titrimetric method. The analysis showed that lead ions – 0.04 mg/l (maximum concentration limit – 0.03 mg/l), calcium – 1.5 mg/l (maximum concentration limit – 1.8 mg/l), iron – 10 mg/l (maximum concentration limit -0.5 mg/l).
Based on the results of studying water from the Chibyu River, the following conclusions can be drawn:

  • when considering the physical properties, a high degree of pollution of the reservoir is observed;

  • laboratory tests showed a high content of various ions that negatively affect all living things;

  • negative impact of the anthropogenic factor on the ecosystem of the reservoir (household garbage, municipal waste, industrial wastewater from enterprises).

Filippov Nikolay Ivanovich

Our sweet river Chibyu.

Our river Chibyu is small, narrow, sometimes quiet, sometimes fast, free, murmuring and having fun, all year round it hurries and runs into the arms of its older sister-friend the Ukhta River, dividing our wonderful and beautiful city of Ukhta into old and new parts. Selecting water from the swamps, it passes through the city for just over three kilometers, delighting the city residents with its cheerful, stormy progress. She, this small river, has no idea that she was the very first in Russia to show her underground storerooms to the pioneers exploring the bowels of the earth. On October 25, 1930, she became the main witness of the work on its shores of the first well for industrial oil production, the first oil-bearing field discovered in the north of the country.

It is not for nothing that the city residents named one of the city streets after her; there is a hotel “Chibyu”. However, some of our residents forgot about the great merits of our Chibyu river and abandoned it, the poor one. Dirty, clogged with sewage, various household waste, overgrown with bushes along the banks, it does not resist the rudeness of dishonest people, and continues its tireless work all year round.

Our most beautiful and wonderful city in the north of the country, called the “pearl of the north,” is truly beautiful with its buildings, decoration, good layout, and green spaces. This is a great merit of the former mayor of the city, Alexander Ivanovich Zeryunov (chairman of the Ukhta City Executive Committee), who invested considerable effort in the construction of Lenin and Cosmonaut avenues, the buildings of Glavkomigazneftestroy and Gazprom Transgaz Ukhta, clinic No. 2 and the mud baths, the city Palace of Culture and the hospital complex the city of Sosnogorsk, liquidation of barracks, etc. For his services, as a sign of respect and gratitude, an avenue on the right bank of the Chibyu River was named after him.

If Alexander Ivanovich had had to live and work longer in our city, he would undoubtedly have developed the bed and banks of our famous river Chibya. It seems now that he would have gathered in his office (and he often practiced this) the heads of large enterprises in the city, set them the task of identifying a customer for drawing up a project for the improvement of the bed and banks of the Chibyu River, finding funds, transferring them to a certain account and providing the necessary assistance in human and material resources.

City residents desperately need a real, good cultural and recreation park. As such, we have a cultural and recreation park, but a new row can be called appropriate for its purpose. The winter pavilion - the barracks - is already falling apart. There are no attractions, entertainment and playgrounds that adults could use; they were dismantled and the metal structures were scrapped. The park area is not landscaped.

The water area located near Lyceum No. 1 is not in the best shape in the summer, where wild ducks have already begun to fly. I would like to see a permanent boat rental station on the inlet reservoir. Here there would be a permanent resting place for townspeople admiring pairs of white swans and other waterfowl. But, despite the lack of infrastructure and litter in the reservoir, townspeople with families and children come to admire the surface of the quiet, calm water and breathe in the moist, fresh air.

The city's financial budget is full of holes, big and small, like the old sieve of a grandmother from a fairy tale. Having been a resident of our city for over 50 years, I don’t remember a time when the city’s financial budget was once waist-deep, that is, zero, income, expenses, constantly in deficit, deficit. One cannot expect funding for the development of the riverbed and banks of the Chibyu River from the federal, republican, and especially city budgets.

In our beautiful city we can live, teach and raise our children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren. No matter how difficult it was, we always strived for the best, beauty. Yes, the task is not simple - arrangement of the bed and banks of our small and lovely river Chibyu. But we definitely need to find a way out, and we have it:

The first is to unite. Create a separate fund to raise funds for the improvement of the bed and banks of the Chibyu River with a name, for example, “Let's improve the Chibyu River” (with the creation of such a fund to raise funds for such an important cause, I would be the first to make a monetary contribution from my “large” labor pension ). Is it bad that, on the initiative of Russian President V.V. , one of the first in the country's government to make a monetary contribution to the construction of the monument to Stolypin, it was erected near the government house.

Second. Ask the mayor of the city, Igor Mikhel, to organize a meeting with the heads of large industrial enterprises, trade and other organizations, to accept financial support in drawing up a project (if it is missing) for the development of the bed and banks of the Chibyu River, the length of which in the city is only a little more than three kilometers, and a natural water area, which will become a real recreation area for our citizens. Or maybe we, the residents of the city, will be lucky that some of the financially wealthy people or collectively will make a decision and cover the banks of the reservoir with noble colored stone? That would be great.
