Shuya principality

Main article: Shuya principality

Since 1403, the Shuisky princes are mentioned, who owned the city for almost 200 years. The Shuisky family originates from Vasily Kirdyapa, one of the princes of Suzdal. The representative of this clan was Vasily Ivanovich Shuisky, the last tsar from the Rurik dynasty (reigned 1606-1610), after him the Romanov dynasty ascended the Russian throne. As the legends tell, Vasily Shuisky often visited his estate to have fun with falconry. In the village of Melnichny (now a suburb of Shuya), according to legend, the daughter of the king, Princess Anna, was buried. In the Shuisky Kremlin (now the territory of the Union Square) there were siege yards that belonged to Prince I.I. Shuisky, Prince D.M. Pozharsky and others.

The first documentary evidence of city Shuya refers to 1539. Under this date, Shuya is mentioned in the Nikon Chronicle among the cities devastated by the Kazan Khan Safa-Girey, and it is from her that the city begins its chronology. Prior to this, the city was known as Borisoglebskaya Sloboda, in honor of the church of Saints Boris and Gleb located in it.

Shuya and crowned persons

Ivan the Terrible visited Shuya during a campaign in 1549 and soon included it, among other 19 cities, in the oprichnina (1565-1572), declaring it his property. Then in 1572, according to the spiritual diploma of Ivan the Terrible, Shuya was inherited by his son Fyodor. In 1609 the city was ravaged by the Poles, and in 1619 by the Lithuanians.

In 1722, on the way to the Persian campaign, Peter I visited Shuya. He stopped in the city to venerate the local shrine - the miraculous icon of the Shuya-Smolensk Mother of God. The icon was painted by the Shuya icon painter in 1654-1655, when a pestilence raged in the city. Soon after the icon was painted, the epidemic stopped, and the image of the Mother of God allegedly revealed miraculous healings of the sick. Peter I also got rid of the illness and wanted to take the miraculous icon to. The townspeople, having learned about this, fell on their knees before the tsar and begged to leave the icon in its place in the Resurrection Church.

In 1729, the daughter of Peter I, Princess Elizabeth, lived in Shuya for some time, and she loved to hunt in the surrounding forests. Another heir to the throne also visited Shuya. In 1837, traveling around Russia, accompanied by the famous Russian poet V. A. Zhukovsky, Shuya was visited by the future Emperor Alexander II. Having got acquainted with the sights of the city, the Tsarevich honored with his visit the houses of the most famous citizens - the richest merchants of the Posylins and Kiselyovs.

Shuya merchants and textile industry

The development of industry and trade in Shuya was facilitated by the convenient position of the city on the navigable river Teza. In Shuya there was a large Gostiny Dvor (on the site of the modern Gostiny Dvor). Out-of-town and foreign merchants came to trade in Shuya - in 1654 there was a shop of the English-Arkhangelsk trading company in the Gostiny Dvor. At the same time, Shuya was famous for its fairs.

In 1755, the merchant Yakov Igumnov opened the first linen manufactory, as proof of which he was issued a ticket from the Shuya voivodship office to set up a factory.

In 1781, the Russian Empress Catherine the Great issued a decree on the formation of the Vladimir governorate and approved the coat of arms of the city of Shuya. The ancient coat of arms of Shuya was a shield divided into two parts. In the upper part, a lion leopard standing on its hind legs is a symbol of the provincial; in the lower part - "a bar of soap on a red field, meaning the glorious soap factories located in the city." Indeed, soap making was the most ancient industry of the city of Shuya, the first mention of them is found in the scribe book of Athanasius Vekov and clerk Seliverst Ivanov of 1629. Already in the 16th century, the industrial character of the city of Shuya was determined. Along with soap making, another ancient craft of Shuya was sheepskin coats. It flourished especially in the 16th-17th centuries, so Tsar Vasily Shuisky was popularly called the “fur coat”.

Since ancient times, textile craft has developed in Shuya - the production of linen fabrics. Canvas weaving was carried out in many peasant huts and in the houses of the townspeople of the city of Shuya on wooden looms. From the middle of the 18th century, weaving linen manufactories appeared in Shuya, the very first manufactory of the merchant Yakov Igumnov was opened in 1755. However, by the end of the 18th century, cotton was conquering the world market. The Shuya merchants of the Kiselev dynasty were the first entrepreneurs who arranged the supply of cotton yarn from not only Shuya, but also its environs.

In parallel with Kiselev, the factories of merchants, the Posylin brothers, were rapidly developing. A. I. Posylin was the first to start a paper-spinning factory for 11,000 spindles, which operated by means of steam engines. The products of the Posylinsky manufactories were awarded a large gold medal at the First All-Russian Exhibition of the Manufactory Industry in St. Petersburg in 1829. “This merchant’s house in Shuya is from time immemorial rich, prudent and persistent in the execution of conceived enterprises, has all the tangible and intangible means to make its spinning factory one of the first establishments in the state,” - this is how the writer Dmitry Shelekhov spoke in the middle of the 19th century about those who who stood at the origins of the Shuya textile industry.

According to the data for 1859, 8555 people (675 houses) lived in the city.

Several military formations were formed in Shuya:

• In September 1918, the headquarters of the 7th Rifle Chernigov (former Vladimir) division was formed;
• In 1939, the 266th Corps Artillery Regiment was formed;
• In September 1941, based on the 594th heavy cannon artillery regiment of the ARGC located in Shuya, four artillery regiments were deployed:
  • 594th cannon artillery regiment,
  • 602nd Cannon Artillery Regiment,
  • 701st Cannon Artillery Regiment,
  • 642nd Cannon Artillery Regiment.

Also in Shuya, in the building of the “Kitchen Factory”, Zheleznodorozhnaya Street, house 2 (later vocational school No. 11), there was the 354th reserve rifle regiment, in which recruits were trained before being sent to the front.

On March 15, 1922, the inhabitants of Shuya, mostly workers, went to the central square to prevent the seizure of church property from the city's Resurrection Cathedral. To suppress the popular uprising, the authorities used military force, machine-gun fire was opened. Four Shuyans (according to other sources - five), and among them a teenage girl, were killed on the spot.

In connection with these events, on March 19, the chairman of the Council of People's Commissars, Vladimir Lenin, wrote a secret letter qualifying the events in Shuya as one of the manifestations of the general plan of resistance to the decree of Soviet power by the “most influential group of the Black Hundred clergy” and a proposal to arrest and execute them.

On March 22, the Politburo of the Central Committee of the RCP (b), on the basis of a letter from Leon Trotsky, adopted a plan of measures for repressions against the clergy. It included the arrest of the Synod, the show trial in the Shuisky case, and also indicated - "Proceed to the seizure throughout the country, completely without dealing with churches that do not have any significant values."

Less than two months later, on May 10, 1922, the archpriest of the cathedral Pavel Svetozarov, priest John Rozhdestvensky and layman Pyotr Yazykov were shot.

In 2007, a monument to the clergy and laity who were killed in 1922 was erected on the square near the cathedral.

Shuya is a city (from 1539) in the Ivanovo region of Russia, the administrative center of the Shuya district, which is not part of it, forms the urban district of Shuya.
The city of Shuya is located in the interfluve of the Volga and Klyazma rivers, 32 km southeast of the regional center Ivanovo. Through the city, the length of which in the city limits is 6.6 kilometers.

Area - 33.29 km², population - 58,690 people. (2016). In terms of population, Shuya is the third city of the Ivanovo region after Ivanov and Kineshma.
According to one version, the ancient settlement on the site of Shuya was founded by the Finno-Ugric tribes of Chud and Merya; and its name may come from the Finnish word "suo" - swamp, lake, marshland. According to another version, the name goes back to the Old Slavic "oshuy", that is, "on the left", "on the left hand" (in this case, "on the left bank").

In the 20th century, not far from Shuya, ancient burials (the so-called Semukhin burial mounds) related to the Volga trade route of the 10th-11th centuries were discovered.


Shuya principality
Since 1403, the Shuisky princes are mentioned, who owned the city for almost 200 years. The Shuisky family originates from Vasily Kirdyapa, one of the princes of Suzdal. The representative of this clan was Vasily Ivanovich Shuisky, the last tsar from the Rurik dynasty (reigned 1606-1610), after him the Romanov dynasty ascended the Russian throne. As the legends tell, Vasily Shuisky often visited his estate to have fun with falconry. In the village of Melnichny (now a suburb of Shuya), according to legend, the daughter of the king, Princess Anna, was buried. In the Shuisky Kremlin (now the territory of the Union Square) there were siege yards that belonged to Prince I.I. Shuisky, Prince D.M. Pozharsky and others.

The first documentary evidence of the city of Shuya dates back to 1539. Under this date, Shuya is mentioned in the Nikon Chronicle among the cities devastated by the Kazan Khan Safa-Girey, and it is from her that the city begins its chronology. Prior to this, the city was known as Borisoglebskaya Sloboda, in honor of the church of Saints Boris and Gleb located in it.

Shuya and crowned persons
Ivan the Terrible, during a campaign against Kazan in 1549, visited Shuya and soon included it, among other 19 cities, in the oprichnina (1565-1572), declaring it his property. Then in 1572, according to the spiritual diploma of Ivan the Terrible, Shuya was inherited by his son Fyodor. In 1609 the city was ravaged by the Poles, and in 1619 by the Lithuanians.

In 1722, on the way to the Persian campaign, Peter I visited Shuya. He stopped in the city to venerate the local shrine - the miraculous icon of the Shuya-Smolensk Mother of God. The icon was painted by the Shuya icon painter in 1654-1655, when a pestilence raged in the city. Soon after the icon was painted, the epidemic stopped, and the image of the Mother of God revealed miraculous healings of the sick. Peter I also got rid of the disease and wanted to take the miraculous icon to St. Petersburg. The townspeople, having learned about this, fell on their knees before the king and begged to leave the Heavenly Patroness and Intercessor of the city in Shuya in her place in the Resurrection Church.

In 1729, the daughter of Peter I, Princess Elizabeth, lived in Shuya for some time, and she loved to hunt in the surrounding forests. Another heir to the throne also visited Shuya. In 1837, traveling around Russia, accompanied by the famous Russian poet V. A. Zhukovsky, Shuya was visited by the future Emperor Alexander II. Having got acquainted with the sights of the city, the Tsarevich honored with his visit the houses of the most famous citizens - the richest merchants of the Posylins and Kiselyovs.

Shuya merchants and textile industry
The development of industry and trade in Shuya was facilitated by the convenient position of the city on the navigable river Teza. In Shuya there was a large Gostiny Dvor (on the site of the modern Gostiny Dvor). Out-of-town and foreign merchants came to trade in Shuya - in 1654, there was a shop of the English-Arkhangelsk trading company in the Gostiny Dvor. At the same time, Shuya was famous for its fairs.

In 1755, the merchant Yakov Igumnov opened the first linen manufactory, as proof of which he was issued a ticket from the Shuya voivodship office to set up a factory.

In 1781, the Russian Empress Catherine the Great issued a decree on the formation of the Vladimir governorate and approved the coat of arms of the city of Shuya. The ancient coat of arms of Shuya was a shield divided into two parts. In the upper part, a lion leopard standing on its hind legs is a symbol of the provincial city of Vladimir; in the lower part - "a bar of soap on a red field, meaning the glorious soap factories located in the city." Indeed, soap making was the most ancient industry of the city of Shuya, the first mention of them is found in the scribe book of Athanasius Vekov and clerk Seliverst Ivanov of 1629. Already in the 16th century, the industrial character of the city of Shuya was determined. Along with soap making, another ancient craft of Shuya was sheepskin coats. It flourished especially in the 16th-17th centuries, so Tsar Vasily Shuisky was popularly called the “fur coat”.

Since ancient times, the textile industry has developed in Shuya - the production of linen fabrics. Canvas weaving was carried out in many peasant huts and in the houses of the townspeople of the city of Shuya on wooden looms. From the middle of the 18th century, weaving linen manufactories appeared in Shuya, the very first manufactory of the merchant Yakov Igumnov was opened in 1755. However, by the end of the 18th century, cotton was conquering the world market. The Shuya merchants of the Kiselyov dynasty were the first entrepreneurs who arranged the supply of cotton yarn from England not only to Shuya, but also its environs.

In parallel with Kiselev, the factories of merchants, the Posylin brothers, were rapidly developing. A. I. Posylin was the first to start a paper-spinning factory for 11,000 spindles, which operated by means of steam engines. The products of the Posylinsky manufactories were awarded a large gold medal at the First All-Russian Exhibition of the Manufactory Industry in St. Petersburg in 1829. “This merchant’s house in Shuya is rich from the beginning, prudent and persistent in the execution of planned enterprises, has all the tangible and intangible means to make its spinning factory one of the first establishments in the state,” - this is how the writer Dmitry Shelekhov spoke in the middle of the 19th century about those who who stood at the origins of the Shuya textile industry.

According to the data for 1859, 8555 people (675 houses) lived in the city.

Soviet period
In Shuya in September 1918, the headquarters of the 7th rifle Chernigov (former Vladimir) division was formed.

Shui business
On March 15, 1922, the inhabitants of Shuya, mostly workers, went to the central square to prevent the seizure of church property from the city's Resurrection Cathedral. To suppress the popular uprising, the authorities used military force, machine-gun fire was opened. Four Shuyans (according to other sources - five), and among them a teenage girl, were killed on the spot.

In connection with these events, on March 19, the chairman of the Council of People's Commissars, V. I. Lenin, wrote a secret letter, qualifying the events in Shuya as one of the manifestations of the general plan of resistance to the decree of Soviet power on the part of the "most influential group of the Black Hundred clergy" and a proposal to arrest and execute them.

On March 22, the Politburo of the Central Committee of the RCP (b), on the basis of a letter from L. D. Trotsky, adopted a plan of measures for repressions against the clergy. It included the arrest of the Synod, the show trial in the Shuisky case, and also indicated - "Proceed to the seizure throughout the country, completely without dealing with churches that do not have any significant values."
Less than 2 months later, on May 10, 1922, the archpriest of the cathedral Pavel Svetozarov, priest John Rozhdestvensky and layman Pyotr Yazykov were shot.
In 2007, a monument was erected in the city to the clergy and laity who were repressed during the years of Soviet power.

As of January 1, 2016, in terms of population, the city was in 283rd place out of 1112 cities of the Russian Federation.

SEVEN WONDERS OF THE CITY OF SHUYA
Since ancient times, it has been customary to single out the "seven wonders of the world", seven ancient works of architecture and art that have no equal in size, beauty and originality. From the rich and long history of our native Shuya, you can also choose seven sights, seven unique historical values ​​that distinguish and mark our city among others.

The first "miracle"

The legend that the city of Shuya was once the capital of White Russia and the very word "Shuya", as the historian I.N. Boltin, translated from Sarmatian means "capital". This legend is reported in the book "A picture of Russia depicting history and geography, chronologically, genealogically and statistically. Collected from reliable sources." (Moscow, 1807): "Our ancient writers, under the name of White Russia, understood the Polish and Meryansk, or Suzdal limits with the regions belonging to them ... so that the boundaries of this region extended north to Great Russia along the Volga, east to Yugry and down the Volga to the mouth of the Oka River with Mordva, south to the Oka with the principality of Ryazan and the Bolgars, and then to the Voronezh River. Suzdal; Andrew II to Vladimir, John Kalita to Moscow".

Second "miracle"

The second "miracle" refers not to Shuya itself, but to the Shuya land. This is a birth record from the book "Additions to the Acts of Emperor Peter the Great" (vol. 18, 1797). "In the statement sent to the census to the former Moscow provincial office from the Shuya Uyezd Court of 1782 on February 27, it is shown that the same county owns the Nikolaev Monastery, the peasant Fyodor Vasiliev, who is 75 years old, had two wives, with whom he had children : from the first - 4 quadruples, seven triplets, and sixteen twins, a total of 69 people, with another wife - two triplets, and six twins, a total of 18 people; in total, he had 87 children with both wives, of whom 4 died, there is 83 people alive. This record is officially "recognized" as a world record - the world-famous "Guinness Book of Records" reports this.

Third "miracle"

Bell tower of the Resurrection Cathedral. It was built in 1832. "The building is stone, about five tiers, the tiers are decorated with towers, columns and moldings. The height of the bell tower from the base to the tip of the cross is 49 sazhens. 2 ars.". In terms of modern units of measurement, the height of the bell tower is almost 106 meters. Of all Orthodox buildings, the Resurrection Belfry is inferior in height only to the bell tower of the Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg (its height is about 120 m).

Fourth "miracle"

The icon of the Shuya-Smolensk Mother of God, which was until 1922 in the Shuya Resurrection Cathedral. It was written in 1654-1655, during the terrible plague raging in Shuya. The author of the icon is the Shui painter Gerasim Tikhonov, son of Ikonnikov. (No offense will be said to the Paleshians, the art of icon painting came to Palekh, apparently from Shuya). The very next day after painting the icon, the icon painter saw the image of the icon changed, he tried to correct the image, but the same thing happened the next day. This was the first miracle of the Shuya icon. A total of 109 of them were recorded. The icon was recognized as miraculous in 1667 by a special state commission, consisting of 5 archimandrites, 2 abbots and an archpriest. According to legend, in 1722 Peter I visited Shuya only to bow to the Shuya icon, which supposedly cured him of a serious illness and that the tsar wanted to take the icon to Moscow, but the Shuya merchants dissuaded him on their knees ...

Fifth "miracle"

The fifth "miracle" is also directly related to the Resurrection Cathedral. This is the big bell of the cathedral. He had a weight of 1270 pounds (about 21 tons!). Its height is 5 arshins (arshin = 71 cm) and its diameter is 4 arshins. This is the 10th-11th largest bell in Russia. (For comparison: the main bell of the main cathedral in Rome - St. Peter's Cathedral - weighs "only" 700 pounds).

The sixth "miracle"

Features of life and customs of the Shuyans, repeatedly reflected in Russian folklore. It is rare that a city can boast of so many sayings, sayings, jokes...
For example, the well-known expressions "Vanya-grouse" and "Turushinsky scoop" are of purely Shui origin. "Vanya the grouse" once lived in our city, and the expression "Turushinsky scoop" comes from the name of the former owner of the store on the Shuya Trading Square - Turushin Ivan Martyanovich.

And how many sayings about Shuya and Shuyans:
I've been to St. Petersburg, poured on the floor and didn't fall here;
Shuisky rogue, at least he will harness anyone to the collar;
If only I had a strong soap;
Pray to God in Suzdal and Murom, take a walk in Vyazniki, get drunk in Shuya;
Bes was given to the soldiers.
The last proverb is from the story about Savva Grudtsyn (written in the 60s of the 17th century), which tells how the Shuyans "gave demons into soldiers." By the way, some researchers consider this story the first experience of creating a Russian novel!

The seventh "miracle"
Looking at the seven-century history of Shuya, one cannot fail to notice some special attitude of persons of "royal blood" towards our city.
A whole family of the most famous boyars bore the surname Shuisky, among whom was even the tsar - Vasily Shuisky.

In 1552, after the capture of Kazan, Tsar Ivan the Terrible visited Shuya.

The visit of Shuya (in 1722) by Peter the Great has already been mentioned.

In 1729, the daughter of Peter I, the future Empress Elizaveta Petrovna, lived and rested in our city for about 2 months.

In 1837, the heir to the throne, the future Emperor Alexander II, stayed in Shuya.

Still, Shuya is a provincial town, and this attention does not seem to be accidental. Perhaps this is connected somehow with the legend of the Sarmatian capital (see "the first miracle").

For some reason, Shuya, and not such pious cities as Suzdal, Murom or Rostov the Great, was the first (in 1922) to oppose the Bolshevik "cavalry attack" on the Russian Orthodox Church.

Shuya attracted not only royal people, but also the attention of famous Russian writers and poets. Our city is mentioned in the works of N.A. Nekrasov, P.I. Melnikov-Pechersky, L.N. Tolstoy, V.A. Gilyarovsky K.I. Chukovsky, I.A. Bunina, M.N. Zagoskina, V.V. Mayakovsky, N.A. Klyueva, A.A. Akhmatova, as well as Konstantin Balmont and Marina Tsvetaeva, who have a "blood" relationship to the Shuya land. Impressive list! Somehow Shuya (the name or the city itself) attracted them all.

The mystery (mysteries?) of Shui has not yet been solved. Only one thing can be said for sure: Shuya is a special, unique city, there is no other like it anywhere and never will be...

WALKING TOUR IN SHUYA
We will start our journey through Shuya from the local pedestrian street. Malachi Belova Street, no joke, everyone here calls Arbat. The question "How to get to the pedestrian street?" brought the locals into a stupor.
In spring and autumn, the street looks like one big wasteland. Not enough sculptures and benches. But local residents are happy to rest here, and market traders sincerely and enthusiastically sell their goods.
However, if we discard criticism and remember what happened here several years ago, then all that remains is to praise the administration for the improvement.
The most beautiful buildings on the street are the shopping arcades of the 19th century.

Shuya shopping malls

It is known that the convenient position of the city on the navigable river Teza contributed to the development of trade in Shuya.

Even foreign merchants came to trade in Shuya - in 1654 there was a shop of the English-Arkhangelsk trading company. The fame of the local fairs spread far around the world. There were even whole legends and proverbs, for example: "The Shuisky rogue will harness anyone to the yoke."
Today the city cannot boast of even out-of-town merchants, but there are quite a lot of local products. They sell honey, dairy products, Shuya chickens.
The coat of arms of Shuya was approved in 1781 by decree of the Russian Empress Catherine the Great. In the old coat of arms of Shuya there was a symbol of the city of Vladimir - a lion leopard, and Shuya herself was part of the Vladimir governorship.
Today, Shuya cannot give up his past and recognize himself as a county in the Ivanovo region. Attentive tourists probably could see the Vladimir coat of arms on local souvenirs, and notice the absence of the “Ivanovo region” in the address of the manufacturer. For those who do not know: not so long ago, Ivanovo was just a village in the Shuisky district of the Vladimir province.
Today, the coat of arms and flag of Shuya is a bar of soap on a red field, symbolizing the glorious Shuya soap factories. There is no symbol of the Ivanovo region in the picture.
The city tries to maintain the ancient tradition of soap making. Soap festivals are even held here - with a parade of soap bubbles, a fair of bath and soap accessories, soap-making master classes and foam discos. If you did not manage to get to such a holiday, then soap souvenirs are best bought at the museum.

Shuya Museum

The main architectural and ecclesiastical sights of the city are the Resurrection Cathedral (1756) and the nearby bell tower (1810-1832).

The Shuya bell tower is one of the tallest bell towers in Russia and the tallest building in the Ivanovo region.

At the time of writing the review, a radical reconstruction of the bell tower was being carried out. In the near future, I am sure, it will shine in all its glory, and the Shuya bells will again fill with church chimes.
In front of the bell tower there is a monument next to which everyone is taking pictures of the Russian New Martyrs.

Resurrection Cathedral is a few steps away. It is also being restored.
After Shuisky Arbat, it is recommended to take a walk along Teatralnaya Street. It is possible that by the time you are in the city, its renovation will have already been completed.
It is already clear today that in the case of a competently carried out reconstruction, this street can become the pearl of Shuya - a center of attraction for tourists and young people.
There are several architectural monuments on the street. For example, the house at 23 Teatralnaya Street is a merchant's estate of Dudkin in the style of late classicism.
The facade of the main building of the estate is decorated with a figured attic, small pilasters, architraves with figured stucco.
Next to the mansion, the tent of the same merchant is modestly located, in which, pay attention, there are as many as five false windows.

After the theater street, you can go through the park towards the museum. The park is in a deplorable state.

Behind Lenin Square is perhaps the most beautiful building in Shuya - the former city government. Now here is the literary and local history museum of Konstantin Balmont.

Literary and Local Lore Museum of Konstantin Balmont

The building is in pseudo-Russian style, like a painted tower from a Russian fairy tale. The museum was founded in 1968 on a voluntary basis and has over 30 thousand exhibits.

Moving further, along Unionnaya Street, you can see another attraction of Shuya - the Church of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Surrounded by a pond, it looks quite picturesque.
You can continue your tour of Shuya along Sovetskaya Street, which goes across the bridge.
On the way, you will come across, perhaps, the most colorful building in Shuya of the Soviet era.
The bridge is notable primarily for its pedestrian part, which is several times larger than the carriageway. Everything is very cute and can be used for romantic walks.
The views from the bridge are predominantly industrial. In the distance you can see the MPF - Mercerized Polo Factory Limited, which produces T-shirts from mercerized cotton.
This factory has nothing to do with the ancient Shui industry. If you want to look at local products, then visit the Shuisky Stitching and Embroidery Factory or the Shuisky Textile Shopping Center.

FAMOUS PEOPLE OF THE CITY OF SHUYA
KONSTANTIN BALMONT
(1867-1942)
Konstantin Dmitrievich Balmont is an outstanding poet, who is rightfully considered one of the initiators of the "Silver Age" of Russian literature. Until 1905, according to V. Bryusov, he literally "reigned" over Russian poetry, his influences and innovative discoveries in the field of lyrics left their mark on the work of subsequent poetic generations.

K. Balmont was born on June 3 (15), 1867 in the village of Gumnishchi, Shuisky district, Vladimir province (now Ivanovo region). The poet's father, Dmitry Konstantinovich (1836-1907), served for almost half a century in the Shuya district court and zemstvo. He was a poor landowner, a man of a quiet and kind disposition, according to the poet, "who did not value anything in the world except freedom, the countryside, nature and hunting." Mother, Vera Nikolaevna, nee Lebedeva (1843-1909), an educated, energetic, progressive woman, enjoyed great prestige in Shuya. Parents each in their own way influenced the future poet, but especially Balmont singled out the influence of his mother, who introduced him to "the world of music, literature, history, linguistics."

Young Balmont spent the first years of his life on his father's estate. Here, at the age of ten, he wrote his first poems. To this day, in Gumnishchi, an old linden park has been preserved - a witness to the youth of Konstantin Balmont. "Linden trees surround everything of mine," the poet wrote, recalling not only his childhood, but also the tomb of his parents in the village of Yakimanne.

Balmont Museum in Shuya

In 1876-1883, K. Balmont studied at the Shuya male classical gymnasium, from where he was expelled for participating in an anti-government circle. The building of the gymnasium has remained unchanged, now it is secondary school No. 2, which in December 2001 was named after K. Balmont.

Since 1993, work has been underway in the city of Shuya to revive the name of an outstanding fellow countryman. In order to popularize the poet's work among the younger generation, the city annually holds a children's poetry festival "Sunny Elf", in which more than 600 schoolchildren take part each time. The program of the festival is multifaceted and interesting. During the holiday, children who are talented in the field of music, theater, and poetry are revealed. In the Shuya Museum of Local Lore, the search for memorial Balmont objects is fruitfully going on. At the moment, the Balmont fund includes about 400 exhibits. On its basis, in 1997, the exposition "Where is my home" was created, introducing visitors to the city of childhood and youth of Konstantin Balmont. Of greatest interest are genuine unique exhibits: a travel chest with which the poet traveled; wardrobe, chairs, utensils from the father's estate; books with Balmont's autographs, etc. Visitors to this exhibition were not only the poet's distant relatives living in Shuya, but also the direct descendants of Konstantin Balmont from other cities and countries: the poet's daughter Svetlana Konstantinovna Shalee (USA, New York), the poet's grandson lines of the daughter of Nina Konstantinovna Bruni-Balmont - Vasily Lvovich Bruni, his children, great-grandchildren of the poet, Ekaterina, Peter and the famous avant-garde artist Lavrenty Bruni (Moscow).

Due to historical circumstances, Balmont is still one of the least studied poets of Russian literature. The Balmont Readings (June) have become traditional in the museum, which bring together scientists and local historians from different cities of Russia who deal with the Balmont theme.

Balmont Vladimir Alexandrovich

WRITER BORIS POLEVOI AND SHUYA
In the recent past, there was probably no person in our country who did not know the name of the writer Boris Nikolaevich Polevoy (1908-1981). In addition to the "Tale of a Real Man" (published in 1946), which was part of the school curriculum, his diaries about the Nuremberg trials (the trial of the main Nazis) were also quite popular, published in the form of a book called "In the end" (1968) . The name of the writer is associated with the once popular magazine "Youth", where he was the editor-in-chief for 20 years. But, probably, few people know that his real name is Kampov. And very few people know about his blood connection with Shuya.

So, in the second half of the 19th century, priest M.V. Milovsky. One of his daughters married a teacher from Kostroma P.N. Kampov. In 1879 he died, and the widow with two children came to her father in Shuya. One of the children was named Nicholas. It was Nikolai Petrovich Kampov - the future father of the writer Boris Polevoy (Kampov)! Until the age of 14, he lived in Shuya, graduating from the local religious school. Then, after graduating from the Vladimir Theological Seminary, he entered the Yuriev University. Upon graduation, N.P. Kampov worked in Moscow, then 3 years in Rzhev, and finally got a job as a city judge in Tver. Here, in Tver, the childhood years of the future writer passed.

Subsequently, B.N. Polevoy recalled: “I was born in Moscow, but grew up in Tver ... My father was a lawyer, he died of tuberculosis in 1916. I almost don’t remember him, but judging by the excellent library left after him, where all the Russian and foreign classics, and according to his mother, he was an advanced man for his time, widely educated ... ". Let's forgive the writer for the inaccuracy in the date of his father's death, this tragedy happened too early. In fact, N.P. Kampov died on February 6, 1915. And the writer's father is buried in Shuya! Unfortunately, his grave cannot be found now - his resting place was a small cemetery near the Church of the Savior. Unfortunately, today the church and cemetery on Spasskaya Square do not exist.

A few words about the writer's name. Kampov - a seminary, priestly surname. "Kampos" in Greek means "field", hence the pseudonym - Field!

TSVETAEV IVAN VLADIMIROVICH
(1847-1913)
European philologist, Doctor of Bologna University, Professor of Art History at Kiev and Moscow Universities, director of the Rumyantsev Museum, founder of the Museum of Fine Arts (now the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow).

Born in with. Drozdov, Shuisky district, in the family of a priest. After completing his studies at the Shuya Theological School, he entered the Vladimir Theological Seminary.

Fascinated by the study of Latin and ancient Greek, he entered the philological faculty of Moscow University. Extraordinary talent and love for the chosen business allowed I.V. Tsvetaeva to graduate from the university with a gold medal and stay within its walls for scientific work. At the age of 29, he defended his doctoral dissertation and began working at the university already as a professor. Long-term studies of classical mythology, close acquaintance with artistic monuments, and the organization of museum work in different countries allowed I.V. Tsvetaeva to head the Department of Fine Arts at Moscow University. He is convinced of the need to create an art museum in Moscow.

To finance the construction of the Museum of Fine Arts, he attracted the famous industrialist Savva Morozov, the owner of glass factories in Gus-Khrustalny I.S. Nechaev-Maltsev, to the creation of the project - a talented architect R.I. Klein. The opening of the museum took place on May 31, 1912, I.V. Tsvetaev was appointed the first director of the museum.

He did not live long, having completed more than 16 years (1896-1912) of work on its construction and equipment, and died on August 31, 1913. In memory of the merits of I.V. Tsvetaeva, next to the entrance to the museum, his bas-relief profile with a commemorative inscription is carved.

The dream of a museum began ... in those days when my father, the son of a poor village priest in the village of Talitsy, a twenty-six-year-old philologist, first set foot on a Roman stone. But I am mistaken: at that moment a decision was made for the existence of such a museum, the dream of a museum began, of course, before Rome - back in the flooded gardens of Kyiv, and maybe even in the deaf Talitsy of the Shuisky district, where he studied Latin and Greek behind a torch . "I wish I could see with my eyes!" Later, having seen: "I wish others (the same as him, barefoot and" arched ") could look with their eyes."

in the Ivanovo region; left .
Length - 192 km, basin area 3450 km².
On the river is the historical city of Shuya, the villages of Dunilovo, Khotiml, Kholuy with beautiful temple complexes.
Near the first lock (village Sergeevo) on the left bank there are picturesque karst lakes, called by Ivanovo tourists "Mermaids". This is a traditional place for tourist gatherings.
The river is actively used for rafting tourism.

Teza flows out of the Kozlovsky swamps to the east of the city of Privolzhsk. The source of the Teza is located 12 kilometers south of the Volga bed near the Volga-Uvod canal.

The channel is winding, the height of the banks gradually rises. In the upper reaches there is a small narrow river 6-7 meters wide, on average from 8-10 meters to 20-30 meters in the lower reaches.
In the section Kaminsky - Shuya, the river flows in picturesque meadow banks with copses, after the confluence of a large tributary of the Scab on the left, the width of the Teza increases to 20 meters.

The banks below Shuya become more open, overgrown with willows with separate groves. Islands and oxbow lakes appear in the riverbed.

Tezinsky navigable cascade
Below the city of Shuya, up to the mouth, the river is regulated by five dams with locks (Sergeevo, Polki, Khotiml, Kholuy, No. 5), the last lock is two kilometers from the mouth. In this section, the river was passable for boats. Wooden locks, built in the first half of the 19th century, were used to let ships through until 1994. In the 2000s, concrete controlled spillways were built on two of them, and the reconstruction of three more is planned.

In the last years of the operation of the Tezinsky lock system, the Shuya-Khotiml high-speed passenger line was operated, served by motor ships of the Zarnitsa type. On the suburban area near Shuya, the Shuya - 21st kilometer line operated, which was serviced by a motor ship of the Moskvich type. Until November 24, 1993, the Tezinsky system was on the balance sheet of the Moscow Canal Administration.

In ancient times, it was of great transport importance; trade routes of Shuya merchants went along the Teza.

Brief information about Shuya

Shuya city- the administrative center of the Shuisky district Ivanovo region. It is located on the banks of the Teza River (a tributary of the Klyazma). Ivanovo is 32 km away. Shuya is the third most populated city in the Ivanovo region. For tourists, it is interesting because the spirit of the old merchant city has been preserved here. You will feel it when you walk along the ancient streets among the merchant mansions of past centuries. Once it was a large shopping center, famous for its fairs. Tourists are attracted by various architectural sights, such as the 106-meter bell tower of the Resurrection Cathedral, which is the symbol of the year. Also, the city of Shuya is famous for the products of the distillery (tinctures, liqueurs, vodka), which can be brought as a souvenir. Separately, the picturesque banks of the Teza River should be noted, and if you arrive in the warm season, enjoy the beauties of the surrounding landscapes - beautiful forests and lakes. If you are tired of the bustle of the capital and want to relax in a calm atmosphere, come to Shuya. And interesting sights will make your trip rich and memorable.

Shuya's story

Before moving on to the story attractions Let's give a little historical background. According to one version, the settlement on the site of the modern city of Shuya existed since ancient times. It was founded by Finno-Ugric tribes. According to the same version, the name Shuya comes from the Finnish word "suo", which means "swamp, swampy place". Starting from 1403, the princes Shuisky are mentioned in documentary sources, who owned Shuya for several centuries. However, then the city itself was called Borisoglebskaya Sloboda - after the name of the church of Boris and Gleb. The Shuisky clan originates from the Suzdal princes. By the way, the last king of the Rurik dynasty - Vasily Ivanovich Shuisky - belonged to this family. The first documentary mention of the city of Shuya (with a modern name) is found in 1539 in the Nikon Chronicle - it tells about its devastation by the troops of the Kazan Khan. It is 1539 that is considered the date of foundation of the city. It is known that Shuya was repeatedly visited by reigning persons (Ivan the Terrible, Peter I, Alexander II). The favorable geographical position of Shuya contributed to the development of industry and trade. In those days, the Teza River was navigable. Merchants came to the city not only from neighboring cities, but from remote regions of Russia and even from abroad. Shuya fairs were famous. In 1755, the first linen manufactory was opened. The textile industry begins to develop actively.

Attractions Shuya

Perhaps the most famous Shuya attraction – Resurrection Cathedral built at the beginning of the 19th century. It is known, first of all, for its 106-meter bell tower. It is the second largest in Russia (1st place is occupied by the bell tower of the Peter and Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg). It is not for nothing that the bell tower of the Resurrection Cathedral has become a symbol of the city of Shuya. In 1891, a huge bell (the 7th largest in Russia) weighing 1270 pounds was raised on it. It was cast in Moscow and installed in honor of the birthday of Nicholas II. Now the Resurrection Cathedral is a courtyard Nikolo-Shartomsky Monastery, which is located on the banks of the Teza River, 15 km from Shuya in the village of Vvedenye.

As noted earlier, the unique atmosphere of an old merchant town has been preserved in the city of Shuya. This is facilitated architectural landmarks past centuries: the house of the merchant Nekrasov, the fate of Pavlov and others. In Shuya there is a pedestrian street, along which it is very pleasant to walk. Pay attention to the building of the Kiselyovskaya hospital, which is located on Union Square (previously there was a Kremlin on the site of this square). Nearby is the central square of the city, named after Lenin. Ancient sights are also preserved here, for example, the building of the Trade Rows (the beginning of the 19th century). Two squares (Soyuznaya and Lenin) are separated from each other by a pond, and you can cross it by a picturesque bridge. Now in the Trade Rows is local history museum(address: Lenin Square, 2). There is an extensive collection that tells about the history of the city and the region. You will see old coins, costumes, household items, furniture and much more.
