Ferry crossings through the Volga

At first, looking at the clock and realizing that the further search of palaces on the outskirts of large Murashkin was fraught with a delay, we drove for a long time on secondary roads to the Sundovik's river located on the Volga, Lyskovo - A completely serious city (21 thousand inhabitants) with the last one (as Murashkino or Gorodets) of the trading village. Famous from 1412, it was based on Lyskovo, probably, even in the Domongolsky times as the outpost of the Volga Bulgaria, the fortress Sundovit - the last, as well as Russia, conquered the Finno-Ugric lands, only our moved down the Volga, and the Bulgars are up. In general, the circumstances of the first mention in the same style: nephew former prince Suzdalsko-Nizhny Novgorod, whose Nizhny Novgorod wrote into Moscow Prince Vasily I, asked for help from Tatars, who eventually dealt with the Moscow squad under Lyskov. In the next century, Lyskovo was a rather major village, who met bread-salt with a wall of Razin, and 18-19th centuries were held here under the sign of Georgia: in 1686, Lyskovo was given to the Imereti king Archil II, who had come to Russia for help and delayed in the country for 6 years, And in 1724, to Bakar III, which flew to Bakar III, whose Father Vakhtang VI is now resting in ... The descendants of the bakara in Russia formed the genus of the Georgian princes, whose Lyskovskaya branch stopped in 1856. But I defined the fate of Lyskov by that time, not even this: Although 1779, the county city was located behind the Volga region, which was standing on the Black Earth Rights Bank, in the Greater Kazan Lyskovo road actually delayed the role of the center of the county (except administrative). His population by the beginning of the twentieth century was a considerable 8.5 thousand people, but the obvious status of Lyskovo received only in 1922:

Alas, we slipped the lyskovo (but the omnipresent nordProd. He wrote about him even in two parts), afraid to be late for the ferry, and made only one stop - in the Ascension Church, built by Princes Georgian (that is, it comes out, the Georgian temple in the depths of Russia? Well, however, there are Armenian temples such as Surb-Khach. In Rostov-on-Don), surrounded by alien by three chapels in the corners of the church fence:

There is not even a chapel, but the whole Church of George Victorious (1814), built into the memory of local residents, whom Georgy Georgian organized into the militia against Napoleon:

Actually the Ascension Temple (1795-1838), extraordinarily pedigree classicism. The temple was the tomb of Georgian, and somewhere in the city and their mansion was preserved - however, not so spectacular:

For the temple - another corner chapel and stores of the store, a very beautiful facade of which can be seen from Nordpoda:

In the center of Lyskova, I made only a pair of frames from the window of the car on the go, but in general, it would not even be turned to call it in Russian in Russian, regular rectangular layout, stone houses, spaciously standing on wide streets, in general, Lyskovo was like Meshu is more than the larger and rich. And at the same time, as a relatives of it with the directions, the will of which Lyskov's will lie to the village and did not give a similar to the village. For details on the photoranscase about Lyskov, send again to the Nordpod - there is nothing outstanding here (except for the Ascension Temple), but a very pretty collection of houses from the impressive sizes to the old brewery at the chapter.

In general, officially main church Lyskova - Savior Transfiguration Cathedral (1711) In the late style of the 17th century, built in the "Intergruzinskaya" era:

Actually, we are already on the embankment. FROM back side "These are the Volga Yarsh, in which the Tatars and Nizhny Novgorod Prince Daniel Borisovich were fought in the 1412-m with a detachment of Muscovite Vasily I, and in the 12th century stood the Bulgar fortress Sundovit. However, maybe it was not specifically on these yars, but their own appearance itself places.

And below loaded the ferry, the most typical for our rivers models of the Volgograd Sudea. In the summer he goes 5 times a day (relevant, as you understand, on the past navigation) - at 6:15, 8:15, 12:15, 15:15, 18:15, and from Makareva back at 7, 9, 13 , 16 and 19 smoothly, but in the fall, the number of flights fell to three - removed the first and last, we arrived just at 15:15:

Pier - not on a big Volga, and somewhere in the labyrinths to her flooded by Cheboksary reservoir floodplains:

Rules from the long-standing office:

Here, of course, on the ferry there are no warm buffets, nor Wai-fi - a cold wind on the deck, a terrible dark Galun, a close passenger hold, who obviously tried to do at least a little more fun:

And the engine room in the adjacent compartment, the engine tharachtit loudly:

We go. At the shore, the pier of pleasure boats and private boats:

Here in the frame of Dirin Gray "Lada", on which the whole trip was held:

On the right more and more powerful, the Volzhsky Yar, at the form of which the score of the dying people "sarrrrrrynn on nickname!". Yet an amazing Volga River, a whole world of more than other seas - with its caravans from Europe to the Middle East, with their pirates and natives, their own technical history , and. And still "down the Volga - Golden Horde, up the Volga - the ladies look from the shore, "How I like this image from the song BG:

Meanwhile, the ferry goes good forty minutes, robbed along the swords of the floodplains (or is it the mouth of Sundovik?) And a big Volga. Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral can be seen:

Yes, and the Ascension Church is perfectly focused on the river:

Past of sunken barge we go to the big Volga:

And in front of a fabulous twist, Makaryev Zholovodsky Monastery gets up from the water:

"Whether the Volga spill, or the World Flood, whether it is just a gentleman notes traces ..." - Certainly one of beautiful seats On the Great River:

On the distant shore, in the village with the loan to the Volga name Isaada - Nikolskaya Church (1847), which is quite possible to give 200 years old. It is one-time, and insades at least in Astrakhan called shopping pier, and now simply markets:

As in the palm of the monastery. Still, the beauty of many Volga attractions can be appreciated in the entire fullness only from the water, after all, they were built on the river-oriented. Pay attention to how powerful in front of the abode of the dam - in the 1970s, Cogda was built by Cheboksary hydroelectric station, some idea of \u200b\u200bthe preservation of heritage in power was already, and it was these dams that could save another Makaryev Monastery, but the place of the famous Makarev Fair on This frame is somewhere under water:

Saint Makarary was a monk from Nizhny Novgorod.where the Pechersk Monastery became famous as ascetic, and then went to the forest to look for a place for hernamicity, but of course, sheltering was not given to him, as followers began to settle nearby. The first monastery he founded nearby (the current Ivanovo region) in the 1390s, and in 1435 settled in the yellow waters - the lake, later he was dried (then the name of the yellow sands appeared), or on the contrary - the blurred Volga. The monastery, however, existed only 4 years, in 1439 destroyed by the Horde Khan Ulu-Mukhamet, who, however, the Macaria's mobility penetrated and let his ravis. According to legend, Macarius and the surviving monks were the founders and the first of the Kerzhen Skits, to which our further journey lay, and then climbed the Volga, founding Makaryev Uzzhensky Monastery in the impassable Kostroma forests. Both monasters were Troitsky, and St. Macarius is known under two titles - Zhestodsky and Uzzhensky. On the yellow sands, in the 1620th year, the monk of Abrahami from Murom, who took the revival of the monastery, was settled, and in Stone the monastery was built almost entirely in the 1650s, and the size of a small Kremlin is about 800 meters around the perimeter:

And why the monastery rebuilt so largely and quickly, I think it is not difficult to guess: at least since 1641, the largest fair in Russia has passed here. In general, the Fair of All Volga, where merchants met from Prussia to Persia, existed that there was long, shifting gradually up the river, and originally passed on the Arsk field in Bulgarian, and then the Ordane lands. An alternative Russian fair in 14-16 centuries acted in, but what they were more of them - I do not take it. As the relationship of Moscow with Kazan has been greeted, Russian merchants on the Arsk field were less and less desirable guests, and after the incention with the confiscation of the goods in 1524, Vasily Dark ordered to arrange his fair in Vasilsursk, just below the current Makaryev, at the very border of Moscow and Kazan lands. To the Macarea Monastery Fair of the surpassed, maybe even before his revival, and developed in the 17-18 centuries with a huge speed, even in the Doparer times, becoming the largest in Russia, and even throughout Europe. On her, due to the proximity of the kergers, the great old-supplied merchants was also formed. Finally, in 1816, at the end of the bid (gibbed every year 2 months before August 1), the fair suddenly burned down, and he decided to revive it even higher along the Volga - in Nizhny Novgorod, where she soon reached global scales. In the present Makarev about the fair does not resemble anything. In the inertia, Makaryev remained a county city (although in fact, as already mentioned, this role was sent by Lyskov) with a population of 1.5 thousand people, in 1920 he was demolished to the village, in 1958 - elevated to PGT, in the early 1980s ( !) Flooded by Cheboksary HPP, and now it is already familiar in the upper capital Cubs of Calyazin or Chkalovsk type, with a population of about 300 people:

Ferry, meanwhile arrived. First people, then the cars rush ashore:

Three guys who returned from the technical school, asked us, would not throw them up to one village kilometers at 20 from Lyskov - after all, so every day ... But people with baskets - maybe, mushrooms, can gobbits-gobblers, can traders for tourists and pilgrims, now come back in Lyskovo:

Machines queue, and from this side, they are hoored not as the ass:

A little more - and ferry goes back, my last ferry in, after, and quiet on the two Volga shores, and Tazhka and, where the ferry seen did not happen. The ferry goes to a rampant right bank that "on the mountains", and we are "in the forests" of the mysterious pilot:

Like any fortress, Makaryev, the Zholovodsky monastery, I decided to get around the perimeter to get around the perimeter, since he firstly strictly 4-coal (each side of about 200 meters), and secondly oboisan a dam, like such a wall on a defensive shaft. On each wall - 3 towers (from them 2 angles, that is, common to two walls), only one of which is destroyed:

Towers in the middle of the sides, though and look like a friend, and a little bit different:

Medieval Kremlin, and only. What to do that in Russia, the 17th century was quite a medieval?

The most picturesque and sophisticated wall facing the Volga - the southern fraternal corps with the commercial church of Mikhail Archangel (1670) is built into it, and a little further tower, rebuilt into Church of George Pelsheskogo (1786):

The current entrance, however, through the modest door to the side, and the entrance is a church shop. The entrance to the abode is free, but the photography is 150 rubles. The asshole church, the top is clearly rebuilt in the 19th century, but the porch is quite authentic and huge:

In the portal, even painting remained:

Opposite the entrance is a huge cargo Trinity Cathedral (1658) with a golden eaves.

And the Assumption Church (1651) with a long refectory and tent bell tower:

In the chapel, the grave of Igumen Abrahamy under archaic boulder, similar to the sacred stone:

To the left of the entrance - all the same southern corps with the gallery, the bell tower and the huge archimanist building of the 19th century:

I must say, after the loss of the fair, the monastery was soaked so much that she was hardly abandoned, and in 1883 he was already revived as a female - apparently, then these new buildings appeared. He was reborn and for the second time, in 1991, having visited the councils of ornament, evacuo-hospital and collective farm warehouses. Nowadays, life is boiling here, and the arches of the wall are all up to the smallests:

To the right of the gate - the most picturesque part of the southern corps:

And one more celin building of the late 19th century:

The Church of the Makaria Zhovetodsky (1809) attached to the Trinity Cathedral. The fair was then in bloom, the decline just after 7 years nothing forested, and there is a version that the fire destroyed it was arson, and transfer to Nizhny Novgorod to raider capture. I also picked up that it was Georgy Georgian who had avenged in the spirit of Caucasian stereotypes. In any case, the fair city of the fair clearly could order better than the monastery, although not yet one decade, the Nizhny Novgorod Fair in the habit was called Makarevskaya ("Macarius a lot of cottones, boils with an abundance of his ..." - Onegin in Nizhny was already in the 1820s ).

General view of all monastery temples (except Church George Pelshinsky) and the site of the old (18 - early 19th centuries) gravestones:

And then the closed territory is already. With the striking wholeness of the ensemble, in general, there was a place and a new building. In general, a monastery is good, and although in Russia there are such several dozen, each of them is impressive, in essence it is huge monasteries - a Russian analogue of European castles:

For the fence - a roadside chapel (after my Western trips, I want to say "Capovka"):

And the parish Kazan Church (1790), it is perfectly visible from the Volga, and from the dam:

The remains of the county Makareva, the center of which is destroyed to the foundations and is now under water. A familiar to the impression of hard cities - there are old houses and whole streets, and there is no single picture, there is no obvious of something:

Yes, and a small very much Makaryevo, 300 inhabitants - even for PGT is unperributed. And closely approach the Kerzhensky forests, through which the road leads to the kite:

After examining at dusk already shown Bor, the Zavolzhsky satellite city-satellite of Nizhny Novgorod, in the dark we took the course on Semyonov, the "capital" of the Volga region and the motherland of Matriots, about which - in the next part.

Upper Volga 2014. Part 2: Searching for Divine

Chapter 409.

So that tomorrow I have not seen a single cow in the city, not a single goat! - I shouted to the handset General Yeremenko. It was mid August 1942. The troops retreated to Volzhsky. Refugees went behind the troops, they drove livestock with them. With a crossing through the Volga, waiting for his turn, accumulated from Kamyshin to Astrakhan five million heads. The herd was flooded with Stalingrad, in the parks and squares it was impossible to enter.

On August 21, the massive raids of German aviation for the Volga crossings began. Especially strong was on the crossing of the ancient village Nikolskiy between Stalingrad and Astrakhan. Several barges sunk. Ferry flooring swore. But two hours passed - and the crossing resuming work. In the meantime, the construction of a bridge in Stalingrad, promised by General Yerömenko, and Belokoskov, was complete in full swing. On August 23, the bridge was ready, as he reported to the commander of the front the heads of the rear and road control.

Thank you, comrades, for impact work! And now help my saphers quickly blow up the bridge. The Germans broke into the northern suburbs. You can not allow the bridge to be in their hands.

Engineers have completed an order. Bring the whole bridge did not become. The bridge was floodplain, like the previously built bridge at the Barricade plant. The structures of the median part of the bridge were installed on the plasters, attached to the bottom of the river with heavy four-hazard anchors. Such an engineering solution made it possible to breed bridges and skip overall river ships. The saphers blew dams and overpass, and the planned structures engineers were removed from the anchors, descended by the flow of the Volga and intercepted between Stalingrad and Astrakhan, where these structures were used in the construction of other bridges.

Autumn has come. If the Volga's summer day looks like a meek, obedient beauty, then in the autumn bad weather, the river shows his temper and becomes angry Fouria. Under the gusts of the cold wind, it raises and beats in the shores a heavy wave. In October, when the northern winds chase the Volga Waters towards the Caspian Sea, Volga is much merge. Then, when the autumn rains begin, water begins to rapidly arrive, the water level in the river adds 12 centimeters daily, the flow is greatly accelerated, the Volga waters roll with a rapid flow, the waves are becoming higher, the river buffels everything is limp.

Autumn of 1942 did not exception. The vapors of the river greatly complicated the work of bridge structures and road builders. Nevertheless, the number of new crossings and bridges has grown steadily. By the beginning of October, forty-three bridges and forty-two were acted between Saratov and Astrakhan ferry crossings. Each crossing was running from two to eight ferries and several self-propelled barges. One ferry transported over one flight from 40 to 50 trucks. Each shore has built three berths with access roads, dams and overpass. The alloy forest was walking on the construction, which was collected on the march along the shores. The berths were put on durable piles. Piles scored deep into the ground and tied on top of the transverse nozzles. Metal forgings needed on construction, manufactured by handicraft in workshops immediately, in place. On each pier there were durable ladders, they were moved to the decks of ferries and barges, when the water level was changed in the river, and this happened constantly.

In the Saratov region, where the Volga was divided into several sleeves, four crossings acted. Two crossings acted between Saratov and Kamyshin. Two - in the Kamyshin itself. Between Kamyshin and Stalingrad - ten more. In the area of \u200b\u200bStalingrad, thirty new bridges and recharge entered the midst of the authentication. The main burden on these days was a bridge, built in just 15 days in the vicinity of Kamyshin, the village of Politotelskoe. The total length of the bridge was 1740 meters. The bridge had 337 spans. The construction worked four battalions of road builders and bridge builders. At their disposal there were two hundred equestrian subdos, three dozen trucks, five river boats, towing steamer and twenty-eared boats. The bridge existed only 22 days, then he was smashed down along the Volga Loda. But it was in these 22 days through this bridge there were tanks and artillery of the Don Front, which Rokossovsky launched against Pouryus.

November came, snowfall began, then hit the frost. Two weeks went along the Volga ice. The movement of river vessels, tugs and rafts stopped. The ice was prayed at the bases of the bridges, heathed, the water rose and poured the canvas. The last trucks walked along the bridge in the cacin on the radiator in the water. Finally, the order was given to stop moving along the bridge. But the movement continued for another two hours. During these two hours, two hundred trucks, artillery regiment and eight hundred cattle heads passed through the bridge.

Colonel Stepanov, Head of Road Control Stalingrad Front, I found a dugout of the old Volzhsky Bowls. The German house bombed the Germans, his whole family died. Bowkens told Colonel to the Volga Coast.

Iceshop is not afraid. Look at that emitter - you see, the shore is piled up. The ice floes were already crowded, there now at least equal sleeve rolling out. Construct artificial congestion themselves and use them.

Colonel thanked the old Bowls for the Council and hurried back to the headquarters of the front. In the same evening, log bones with anchors were combed, they blocked the river. Iceshop stalled, ice began to mortuary. By morning, the ice crust of the deciment meter thickness was formed. She moved the volunteer river. Following the horse translated. Identified. Then the ice-volokusch rushes on the ice. Horse sneakers went one after another. The horses were missing, and then the roadmakers themselves were imputed in Sani-Volokushi. After several flights back and back alone from the roads, in the past miner, came to mind a happy thought.

Why push the trolley manually when you can pull it with a label on the tractor pull!

On the shore, several TTV-65 tractors were installed in such a way that the caterpillars do not touch the Earth. Towing cables with hooks at the ends wound on the caterpillars. They assured the hooks of Sani Volokushi, loaded the sleigh under the string and descended on the ice. Thus, the first, experimental crossing of a new type was launched. Soon she worked four hundred and volokus. Crossing was good to everyone, except for the fact that there was a cargo from the strength on two hundred kilograms. Neither the cannon, nor the tank, nor "Katyusha" to transfer in this way it was impossible.

But winter came. Dark December nights the road builders have increased ice bridges, watered water boards, straw, soil from floodplain careers. In mid-December, trucks were already in such bridges, and at the end of December, T-34 tanks went. At the same time, they also earned the so-called "carousels" - ring roads through a volgar with one-way movement, passing through railway stations on the right and left banks. The width of the six-band ring road reached forty meters, the movement on it did not stop neither the day or night. Two driver was fixed behind each truck. So far, one was in the flight, the other was squeezed in heated room. At the end of December, a large ring was worked: Kamyshin, Olkhovka, Ilovlya, Kalach, Krasnoarmeysk, Middle Akhtuba, Nikolaevsky, Kamyshin. For the first time in the history of wars, under Stalingrad, in this frosty winter were tested in the case of unprecedented intensity of the movement of the transportation of military cargo transportation.

Ferry crossing through the Volga on the route Fishoz - Toporok (Konakovo) There is no longer one dozen years. But with transport streams that bind two shores, it cope with difficulty. In this regard, an additional ferry crossing was put into operation in Konakovo.

Talk about the new ferry went long ago, and even at one time ended the deputy session. But the cost of creating a new crossing was for the regional budget of the inexperination.

The question decided easier than I thought. President gave installation: in modern Russia The formula of the power and business is to work. The first one sets the tasks, the second is investing in socially oriented projects. Urgent tasks are solved, the business parallels money.

On this path, the administration of the Konakovsky district went, concluding an investment contract with Navigation LLC. In January, work began. People worked for 12-14 hours, and, less than four months, two berths were built on both sides of the Volga. The new ferry can now take up to 50 cars at a time, including any kind of special and construction equipment. At the same time, 1200 people can be recreated.

Cutting a red ribbon during the opening of the ferry, the head of the Konakovsky district Victor Krysov said: "What happened what was told about so long. Additional transport links between the city and the village was carried out, Yuryevo-Maiden's approached us. It seems that this is the development of the transport infrastructure of the district will not end. "

The head of Navigation LLC Andrei Sorocctin noted that the work on this does not stop, the ferry will be made a transparent canopy for passengers, and the proportion zone will be subjected to further arrangement, which will be a kind of "small port". Tables for passengers will be equipped, a real embankment will appear. As for the price of travel - they are about 30% cheaper than the former "competitor".

As tradition requires, a bottle of champagne was broken about the rank of ferry on his opening day. This rite, together with A. soktin, performed the Chairman of the Assembly of Deputies of the E. Rosgesev district.

Under the march "Farewell to Slavica" the same vessel dismissed from the shore. By the way, the name "Marsh Slavic" the ferry is not accidental - he is launched on the eve of the Great Holiday. Each time, leaving the pier, from the speakers the victorious march sounds. In memory of what ruled the Russian people. In memory of the Great Victory. 09/05/2010

Ferry "Marsh Slavica" left Konakovo ...

Early in the morning on October 21, the Slavic Marsh Slavs, who worked for the last five years in the city of Konakovo, who worked, left these edges and left the distillation to the new owner - in the Kamyshin River Port, which in the Volgograd region.

Appeared here by the ferry exactly six years ago. At the end of October 2009, at the Pier on the Volga River, at the mouth of the river the bitch, the Nemunas ship was wounded, which worked from the moment of commissioning in June 1987 and in the summer of 2009 in Lithuania - in Klaipeda port on the Baltic Sea.

The ship built on the R-144K project at the Klaipeda Baltic Shipbuilding Plant was designed to transport up to 85 people, including a dozen passenger cars. In the spring of 2010, the ship, who received the name "Marsh Slavic" and Moscow registration, began working on the Volga on the line Konakovo - Yuryevo-Maiden.

It is curious that the appearance of such a vessel in this place happened not by chance. Since 2006, on the same line, it worked small, compared with the Slavic, River Ferry "SP-14", bought by the company LLC " Farm economy "Vityaz" on the Volga, in the Ulyanovsk region. With the beginning of massive class-cottage construction on another bank of the Volga, in Yuryevo-Maiden, "SP" ceased to cope with the flow, which led to large queues in the navigation period (the ferries did not work, and it was possible to get to the opposite shore - 200 km, or on ice through the Volga).

So it appeared in the spring of 2009 in Konakovo Navigation-ABC LLC, which acquired a more spacious ferry in the Baltic States and decided to create competition at the grain. According to another version, the appearance of a new ship was caused by a financial perspective. Owners "SP" refused to present benefits to new developers of another shore, which used often ferry, and the latter decided that it would be more profitable to buy their own ship and put their prices.

Competition on the crossing lasted for three years. But in the fall of 2012, Navigation-ABC sold "Marsh Slavic" to competitors from Vityaz, as they say for financial reasons. Since the spring of 2013, both ferries began to work from one company that introduced its schedule. In the festive and weekends, in the morning and evening hours, both vessels were in the work, at another time - any one of them.

But the 2013 navigation season turned out to be extremely for "Slavs" in Konakovo. From 2014 and to the present, the ferry did not go out, standing at the pier. The reason is lying in the same financial plane: due to the increase in prices, passengers and motorists were more profitable to use the "SP-14", where the price was twice as low as the cost of travel on Slavyanka.
