Dying villages of Siberia: “We will die, and there will be no one else. Are there abandoned villages in the NSO? The name of the abandoned villages in the Novosibirsk region

The camp consists of four residential buildings, a laundry and a canteen. Two-story residential buildings are connected to each other by passages. For the summer of 2019, security is not active. The object is in an emergency condition, most of the wooden floor is rotten, the roof is leaking. The building of the dining room is covered with igruns.

Abandoned camp "Timurovets". There are three residential buildings, a house of culture and a boiler house on the territory. For the summer of 2013, cows graze on the territory of the camp, but sometimes children from a neighboring village go there to play.

The sanatorium pioneer camp, located 30 kilometers from Novosibirsk, is located deep in the forest. After the collapse of the USSR, in 1991, the camp became unclaimed and was transferred to self-financing, and soon completely ceased to exist. On the territory there is a half-dismantled main building with an assembly hall and a dining room, three emergency (with a rotten floor) sleeping buildings, small buildings with showers, a littered vegetable store and several...

The object is a two-story brick building. All windows are boarded up with boards and sheets of tin, the main entrance is also boarded up. The only climb through the window, located in the back of the building, you just need to bend the sheet of tin to the side. The inside of the building is a bit of a mess, the showers are filled with furniture dragged from other rooms, doors, walls, switches and lights are intact, although the lights could not be turned on. Only the cast iron ones are missing...

Furniture repair building. Abandoned relatively recently, there is still wiring and power lines intact. A unique venture for a small town. Outside condition is very good. Inside is empty and clean. Soviet decoration is very striking. And the remaining table in the office and the lampshade of the chandelier look very solid against the rest of the background. Remodeled as a kindergarten.

An abandoned pioneer camp, several buildings, overgrown paths, a stadium, a boiler room. Near a beautiful forest and swamp. Also nearby is one famous children's camp, which operates all year round, from there people come to play football at the stadium.

In 1929, geologists discovered a huge deposit of limestone and other valuable minerals, the extraction of which would have required a large number of labor force. Limestone reserves were determined for 100 years, with a 15-km length of seams. The development of the deposit stopped about twenty years ago. Birch trees have already grown. The steps are about a meter high. Blocks of marble were cut a meter and a half long. These boulders are lying in...

A pioneer camp abandoned in the distant 1960s. At the entrance, as a symbol of the era of astronautics, there is a Soviet rocket. Despite the proximity of the village and other camps, the houses are not pulled apart and are in good condition. On the territory there are slides, a dining room, a club, residential buildings, gazebos and, as usual, outdoor washbasins. Judging by the inscriptions, this camp has become a place of frequent hangouts for young people, but it is far from polluted, like most shelters. Visitors at...

NOVOSIBIRSK, December 17 - RIA Novosti, Elena Zhukova. The authorities talk about the senseless spending of funds on providing communal benefits to sparsely populated villages and maintaining roads to them, but residents refuse to move from there. RIA Novosti correspondents went to one of these Novosibirsk villages, where seven people live, and asked the residents what is the reason for the reluctance to move to more civilized places.

The village of Berezovka is located in the Bolotninsky district of the Novosibirsk region. This is 160 kilometers from Novosibirsk and ten from the nearest settlement, the village of Acha.

This is just such a settlement, about the persistence of the inhabitants of which the governor of the region recently spoke. According to him, the government is ready to help people move out of dying villages. This will be economically beneficial for the local budget, since the need to provide for the life of small villages will be removed, and it will ultimately be more convenient for people in more developed villages.

“And one family says: I won’t go anywhere. It’s probably possible to just take and make a decision, but it’s not right ...”, Vasily Yurchenko gave an example at a recent press conference.

And in total in the Novosibirsk region, according to the data at the beginning of the year, there are about 140 villages in which less than 20 people live. And most people, especially pensioners, do not want to leave their usual places.

Born and married here

We stop in Berezovka: there is not a soul on the snow-covered Central Street. Near one of the houses there is a payphone and the only lamp in the village. The locals joke that if it were not for him, the village would not be visible in the evenings. The village is four houses. No shop, no pharmacy.

But seven residents of Berezovka are quite used to doing without it. And the proposals of the Achinsk village council to move to Acha are regularly refused.

“The only thing left is what they couldn’t make out. And before there was a big farm here,” says Elena Eisner, pointing to a metal frame in the middle of a field near the village. Elena works as the head of the post office in the village of Acha, Bolotninsky District, and brings pensions and food for her parents and father-in-law to her mother-in-law to her native Berezovka.

Together with Elena, we go to her parents, Sergei Efimovich and Faina Vasilievna Malinovsky, who live in a house right at the entrance to the village. The house is solid - a large kitchen with a Russian stove, two spacious rooms.

“No, we won’t go. We’ll live here. But what to do there, I don’t like it there. I have lived here for 57 years, why do I need that Acha, or Elfimovka or Sosnovka,” says Faina Vasilievna.

She came to Berezovka from Vladimirovskaya Oblast in 1956 after a technical school to work as a livestock specialist. Here she met her husband - she was driving in the evening from the milking from a neighboring village, and Sergey Efimovich was returning in a timber truck and gave a ride to the girl. Since then, they have been living together in Berezovka.

Sergey Efimovich proudly says that he was born in Berezovka, and during the first census, which was carried out before the war, 80 people lived in Acha, and more than 400 in Berezovka.

He recalls that at that time immigrants from Belarus came to the village, they received land here on which it was possible to grow grain and livestock. For a long time the village prospered - there was not only a large collective farm, but every family kept cattle for themselves.

“There was such a queue to hand over to the meat processing plant in Bolotny, that we took bulls to hand over to Novosibirsk to the meat processing plant, we didn’t have time to process here - all the shops, counters, everything was littered with meat and sausage. A special sausage was prepared for the Novosibirsk regional committee in Bolotny, a car from the regional party committee came, they loaded everything and took it to Novosibirsk,” recalls Sergey Efimovich.

First they broke the school...

According to him, the village began to die after the school was broken - this happened in the 1970s. Children began to be transported from Berezovka to neighboring Acha, they grew up and began to move there or to big cities- Novosibirsk and Yurga. After some time, the village club was also closed - a place where dances were once held and films were shown.

But the biggest blow to the village, adds Faina Vasilievna, was inflicted during perestroika, when they began to reduce the number of livestock. Gradually, the large farm died, and with it there was no work and prospects for the village.

The couple sigh, remembering their own household. They say that they haven't seen their district police officer for ten years, and they don't even know his name. Therefore, they stopped even keeping sheep - visiting "guest performers" stole them, and the elderly could not protect their property in any way. But they repeat that they will not leave here anyway.

All children bring

The next house down Central Street is a semi-detached and well-maintained one. It has water, heating and a bath. In one of the apartments lives an elderly man, a former cattleman. But he did not want to communicate, did not even open the gate. He recently buried his wife and, as the neighbors explain, now he is better off alone.

And the neighbors are Vasily Avgustovich and Nina Nikolaevna Eisner, Elena's father-in-law and mother-in-law. They moved into this house about six years ago, when there were no neighbors left on the street where they used to live.

“And what will I do in Acha? I’m used to this land, I climbed into such an apartment - all the amenities. But in Acha they won’t give you one,” says Vasily Avgustovich.

He came to the village as a child - in 1941, with his German parents, he was evacuated here from the Volga region.

Nina Nikolaevna agrees with her husband. According to her, she is not at all bored in the village, despite the absence of a shop, a club and other usual settlements establishments. Children and grandchildren do not forget, they regularly bring food, newspapers, medicines.

“Berezovka! What kind of people lived here, friendly, hardworking, I want to cry. Not like now. We are afraid - rather (the door) on the hook,” Nina Nikolaevna sighs, but shakes her head negatively when asked about the move.

“If there was a rich man, he would upset Berezovka and people would come running,” Vasily Avgustovich sighs.

Neighbor Olga Litvinova comes to visit the Eisners - they, along with her husband Vasily, are the only residents of Berezovka who have not yet reached retirement age. Neighborhood gatherings, along with watching TV, which only shows five channels, are a popular pastime here.

With your horse

Olga, having discovered journalists, invites her to her place. Her house is on the outskirts, at the end of the street. On the way we pass a water tower that provides water to the residents, the building of a closed, or rather, collapsed club, and nothing else, the rest is wasteland.

They live with her husband mainly at the expense of the household - they have cows, pigs, rabbits, chickens, a horse - as a means of transport. In summer, a garden. Therefore, the main products are provided, the rest is bought in Ache, selling meat.

“We don’t live in a big way, but we have enough,” says Olga. According to her, in such a sparsely populated village it is not scary, on the contrary, there is no one else, peace and quiet.

And she does not see any special benefits from moving to Acha. “You can’t buy medicine in Acha, recently a tooth fell ill, we arrived in Acha, and there’s not even analgin, I had to be treated almost with a flower, folk remedies. Olga says.

Therefore, like the old-timers of the village, neither Olga nor her husband are going to leave Berezovka - they believe that it will not be better anywhere else.

Therefore, like the old-timers of the village, neither Olga nor her husband are going to leave Berezovka - they believe that it will not be better anywhere else.

And despite his young age, yet some things in it remain in the same place. For example, abandoned buildings abandoned by people and left to fend for themselves.

Many historians and stalkers still discover buildings built in the pre-revolutionary period. Magically, these houses stand untouched by bulldozers, but do not have their marks on the maps. This is the real historical value of the city, which, in the near future, can be completely lost if the authorities do not take control of these buildings.

The most famous abandoned place in Novosibirsk

Most of the Novosibirsk abandoned objects have either been demolished (like the well-known mental hospital with its secret underground passages), or are popular not only with local stalkers, but also with airsoft fans, as well as vandals. Every year, the state of unique and historically interesting objects is deteriorating. Therefore, many researchers do not disclose passwords and appearances of abandoned places in Novosibirsk. However, there are places that are known to all residents of the city, for example, an abandoned unfinished building near the Marx Square metro station.

The longest building in Novosibirsk, which is no less than 46 years old, is the Tourist Hotel, whose windows gaping with emptiness go straight to Karl Marx Square - the central part of the left bank. This long-term construction will stand for many more years, as the restoration or demolition of the object will cost the city a lot of money.

1968 marked the beginning of the construction of a twenty-story prestigious hotel. The abandoned object was supposed to contain up to 800 rooms. For many years the hotel has been surrounded by a fence, but getting into the territory is not difficult. This abandoned object of Novosibirsk stands out very well against the backdrop of the Festival shopping center, built right next to the Soviet giant from the past. Sad cases associated with the "Tourist" are also known, such as falling from a height. At one time, the roof of the hotel was used by lovers of base jumping (jumping on a rope). At the moment, the unfinished one continues to sleep in eternal sleep, looking at the city with his languid gaze.

"Dark" tower of the city

The abandoned strange tower is actually a water tower. If you go by train passing through the Oktyabrsky district of the city, you can see a small abandoned castle, as the tower looks like the ruins of an ancient palace of the Art Nouveau era. The brick object was built at the beginning of the 20th century, around 1910. Remainder Imperial Empire with a symbolic crown on its roof in the form of a tree. The entrance has been boarded up for a long time.

This abandoned place in Novosibirsk can be found 500 meters from the Novosibirsk-Yuzhny railway station. The station itself, by the way, is also an object of the reign of Nicholas II. In those years, it was called the Novonikolaevsk station, and the paths of this territory belonged to railway Altai. You can find it at the intersection of Communist and Dekabristov streets in the Oktyabrsky district in Novosibirsk. The abandoned place on the maps is not marked as a tower.

Area of ​​lost ships

For the inhabitants, Zaton has always had a bad reputation. But this is where the graveyard of ships is located. The place itself is a small island, to which several roads lead. Densely moored rusty barges are piled up so that they can be walked to the main dump.

Sometimes there are warning signs "No Passage", and if someone is seen by a local watchman, then get ready to immediately go home. To get on an unauthorized tour of the old river barges, ships and hold an original photo session, you need to get to the street. Portovoy, in the Leninsky district.

One of the interesting parts that make up the list of abandoned buildings is given to the former summer camps. "Vostok-2" was founded with the support and assistance of the Siberian Research Institute of Aviation. S. A. Chaplygin. The camp is located thirty kilometers from the city.

The stronghold of pioneer childhood is located in the deep part of the local forest belt. When the Union collapsed, in 1991, like many other camps in the country, Vostok was closed and left to fend for itself. All camp buildings were erected on one floor, wooden houses.

Now the main building stands in a half-hearted form, part of it was dismantled, and part remained. It was here that evening concerts were held and there was a dining room. The sleeping quarters are in no less deplorable condition. Three buildings with completely rotten floors. Also, vegetable storage facilities, a common shower room and small storage rooms have been preserved on the territory. The camp also has its own water tower, of course, also abandoned. By the way, the pioneer camp got its name from spaceship"Vostok-2", a monument to which is located in the central part of the abandoned facility.

An interesting fact is that an active camp coexists comfortably next to this place. Therefore, the former pioneer camps are one of the most interesting abandoned places in Novosibirsk. The address can be found at the coordinates: 55°0"41"N 83°20"13"E.

In order to officially abolish the settlement, it is necessary to adopt the relevant law of the Novosibirsk region in two readings. On October 10, the deputies of the regional Council unanimously voted for similar laws regarding the village of Blinkovo, the village of Kuzminka 1st, the village of Orlovsky, the settlement "Kazarma 3208 km" and the village of Lezhnevsky. The abolition of another settlement - the village of Barabinka - is only a matter of time: the document on its abolition was approved by the deputies so far in the first reading. The described settlements belonged to the Vengerovsky, Chulymsky, Kochenevsky and Chistoozerny regions of the NSO.

Judging by the data of the websites of the district administrations and the administration of the NSO, most of the villages abolished on October 10 were empty ten years ago - in the late 90s. For example, according to the deputy of the Council of Deputies of the Povarensky Village Council of the Kochenevsky District of the Novosibirsk Region, Anna Sharushinskaya, the last resident left the village of Barabinka back in 1999. “Today there are no houses, no communications, no infrastructure - just a large area with the remains of ruins,” a representative of the village administration describes the situation.

As Oleg Manuilov, deputy chairman of the Regional Council Committee on State Policy, Legislation and Local Self-Government, explained during the meeting with reference to Novosibirskstat, in 2005 there were 43 settlements in the territory of the NSO in which no one lived, and 31 settlements with a population of more than 1 up to 5 people. At the same time, as Oleg Manuilov clarified, from 2002 to 2009, the regional Council of Deputies abolished 26 settlements abandoned by people. Thus, since the beginning of the century, about 100 villages and villages have been empty in the Novosibirsk Region.

Interestingly, many of the "Black Hundred" extinct villages and villages have no less rich history than the city of Novosibirsk. For example, the village of Kuzminka 1, which was blacklisted on October 10, was founded in 1825 - almost 70 years earlier than the capital of Siberia.

According to an employee of the Institute of Economics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a well-known Novosibirsk demographer Svetlana Soboleva, Novosibirsk villages are disappearing for several reasons: lack of work, closing schools, and difficulties in maintaining an effective subsistence economy. “The obvious option seems to be the production of vegetables and livestock products in the form of a subsidiary farm. However, the problem is that due to the extremely poor condition of the roads, as well as the vast distances, the villagers are not able to regularly travel to the city and sell their products. The same problem of transport inaccessibility makes impossible the so-called “pendulum migration”, when villagers go to work in a city or district center. Due to the decrease in the population, schools are closing, which even more encourages the remaining residents to move to the city, ”the expert explains the phenomenon.

According to Novosibirskstat, at the beginning of 2009, 1,397,191 people lived in Novosibirsk - more than half of the region's population (52.9%).

Per last year the number of its inhabitants increased by 6.7 thousand people (by 0.5%), and largest number residents are registered in the Leninsky district (271.6 thousand people). According to Novosibirskstat reports, losses rural population in the direction "village-city" in 2008 amounted to 1812 people, while in 2007 - only 1393 people.

According to Svetlana Soboleva, the creation of so-called "family estates" can have a positive effect on the situation with villages disappearing from the map of the region.

“In order for people to have a place to work, it is necessary to move small and medium-sized industries from the city to the villages - for example, the assembly of simple appliances or tailoring from ready-made materials. In order for people to be motivated to stay “on the ground”, it is necessary to simplify the system of obtaining large plots of land in tribal ownership, that is, one that passes from generation to generation. There will be production - there will be roads, there will be people - there will be schools, ”says demographer Svetlana Soboleva.
