Nevinnomyssk

Nevinnomyssk (Russian: Невинномысск) is a city in Stavropol Krai, Russia, located on both banks of the Kuban River at its confluence with the Bolshoy Zelenchuk River, 54 kilometers (34 mi) south of Stavropol.

The city of Nevinnomyssk originated from stanitsa Nevinnomysskaya.

Military historian Vasily about 100 years ago, I found a file from 1784 in the Mozdok archive, from which I learned that "a certain small river flowing into the Kuban was henceforth ordered to be called Innocent"^[6].

Stavropol local historian Kolesnikov in his monograph "The Past of the Innocent Cape" (2011) puts forward a version of the origin of the city's name, according to which in 1784 Pavel Potemkin the area was given the name "Innocent Cape" by the prevailing. ^[7]

In 1787, the Nevinnomyssky Redoubt was built on a high hill near the Nevinka River, which flows into the Kuban River. In 1784, the river was renamed the Nevinnaya River. ^[8]

According to the first version, the name originated from the death of an innocent girl who was forced to marry someone she did not love. ^[9]

According to the second version, the name of the river and the cape originated from the death of 70 innocent Russian women, old people, and children. In their memory, the place was named Cape Innocent, and the tributary of the Kuban River was named the Innocent River.^[10]

In 1825, by order of General Aleksey Yermolov, commander of the Caucasian Military Corps, a Cossack village of the same name was founded near the fortress of Nevinnaya Mys, where the Bolshoy Zelenchuk River flows into the Kuban River. ^[11]

The new village became part of the Batalpashinsky Department of the Kuban Cossack Army. After that, the rapid development of the village of Nevinnomysskaya began. ^[12]

The village received 36,817 acres of land, including 26,847 acres suitable for agricultural activities. In the late 1870s, there were 11 officer's and 1,597 Cossack plots in Nevinnomysskaya. On average, each person had 16.6 acres of land. ^[13]

On the small village square, there was a village government building, an ataman's house, a store, and watchtowers at the village gates. The village was governed by a regimental commander and a village chief. ^[14]

In 1849, there were 2,037 inhabitants, of which 1,005 were men and 1,029 were women. The village had an apothecary, a barber shop, a telegraph, and a water supply system. Administratively, the village was divided into twelve quarters.

Until 1861, the influx of non-local residents was insignificant. However, with the abolition of serfdom, the situation changed. In 1876, there were 1,700 non-local residents for every 4,000 Cossacks. The construction of the Vladikavkaz Railway had a significant impact on the village's fate. ^[15]

The presence of large reserves of agricultural raw materials, the availability of cheap labor, and the proximity of the railway contributed to the rapid economic development of the village of Nevinnomysskaya. ^[16]

The village of Otradnaya, where the son-in-law of the Ataman of Nevinnomysskaya, I. A. Baranov, began construction of a steam mill. In 1894, it was put into operation, becoming the largest mill in the North Caucasus. ^[17]

In 1889, a tannery was built by the merchant Lapin. ^[18] In 1895, the largest wool-processing factory in Russia was built in the village. ^[19]

The favorable climatic conditions, such as mild winters, plenty of sunshine, and windy weather, as well as the availability of soft water in the Zelenchuk River, the presence of a well-developed sheep farming industry in the region, and the availability of cheap labor, as well as the proximity of the railway, all contributed to the development of the wool-washing industry. Initially, wool was processed manually, using methods such as raft washing and outdoor drying. The soft water from the Zelenchuk River helped to soften and whiten the wool, and the use of detergents was significantly reduced during the washing process. ^[20]

In 1900, Lapin's ever-expanding wool-washing factory produced goods worth 280,740 rubles. At the beginning of the 20th century, the factory employed approximately 300 workers. Moreover, the factory's equipment was in line with the latest advancements in scientific and technological development. ^[21]

In 1912, Nevinnomyssk entrepreneurs established a small mechanical factory called "Muravey" based on the principles of a joint-stock company. This factory consisted of a foundry, a turning shop, a blacksmith shop, and a locksmith shop. The plant focused on producing products needed in the local market, parts for agricultural machinery, agricultural tools, and mill equipment. ^[22]

Handicraft production, such as shoe-making, saddlery, and cooperage, developed in the village. Carpenters, artisans, and glaziers were mostly from other cities. In the 1990s, the village of Nevinnomyssk became a major trading center. Merchants from Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, and Warsaw came to the village. The trade turnover at the Nevinnomyssk fairs and bazaars reached several million rubles. ^[23]

At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the village's agriculture achieved significant success. The number of livestock, the production of agricultural products and animal husbandry are growing. New agricultural machinery and equipment are increasingly being used. At the beginning of the 20th century, the village had 57 horse-drawn threshing machines and 160 improved ploughs. 4 In general, the Cossacks of the village harvested a good harvest, especially grain crops, which allowed them to profitably sell some of their products for export abroad and to the industrial regions of Russia. The spread of various forms of cooperation played a major role in the intensification of agriculture in the village. ^[24]

By 1896, the village had a population of 7,500, indicating a rapid increase in the population of Nevinnomyssk. ^[25]

The favorable climatic conditions allowed the Cossacks to actively engage in horticulture, viticulture, and gardening, which undoubtedly influenced the dietary patterns of the population in Nevinnomyssk and the Kuban region as a whole. The local population consumed a significant amount of fruits and berries, including garden and wild apples, pears, plums, grapes, blackberries, and more. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, many families began to focus on growing strawberries. Fruits were dried for the winter, and "jams" were increasingly being made from them. ^[26] Among the Cossacks' drinks, kvass, dried fruit compote, beer, wine, and vodka were prevalent. One indicator of the growth of prosperity was the fact that in the mid-19th century, almost all alcoholic beverages were produced by the Cossacks themselves.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the village's educational system expanded, and new educational institutions were established in addition to the existing parish schools.

In 1901, the Vladikavkaz Railway Board opened a two-year school at the Nevinnomysskaya station, accommodating up to 90 railway workers' [[children]0. Four years later, the school was transformed into a three-year school. In the same year, a non-resident partnership purchased two buildings from Lapin, the owner of a wool-washing establishment, for 6,000 rubles and opened a two-year school for non-resident children. ^[27]

By the beginning of the 20th century, the village faced a severe shortage of primary education. In 1904, there were at least 3,500-4,000 school-age children in Nevinnomysskaya, but only 300-450 of them were enrolled, including 25-30 girls. ^[28]

In 1908, two one-class schools in the village were transformed into two-class schools with a five-year term of study. By the same year, the village board had built 2 more single-class schools: "Northern" (near the current dairy) and on "Nizki"^[29].

In 1916, a higher primary school with a four-year course was opened on the basis of the Cossack two-year college with a five-year term of study. They were accepted into the first grade here after graduating from the third grade of primary school 7. ^[30].

In 1917, a gymnasium was opened in Nevinnomysskaya (in the early 20s it was transformed into an ordinary nine-year—old school for peasant youth), which served as an indicator of the interest of the residents and authorities of the village in creating a full-fledged gymnasium in the future. ^[31]. Stolypin's agrarian reform is had a limited impact on the village of Nevinnomysskaya. The village's industry continued to develop. ^[32].

In February 1917, on the territory Nevinnomysskaya lacked fuel, steam locomotives, and wagons. Traffic jams on the tracks have become commonplace. Cargo turnover has been sharply reduced. ^[33] Later in people, were preparing to form territory Nevinnomysskaya their own trade union.

In May 1917, the board of the union was elected at the general meeting of workers. At the same time, in May, the woolmashers teamed up with the workers of the Baranov mill and created a professional wool-washing, leather-milling union, of which 546 workers and employees were members. ^[34]

As soon as it appeared, the union immediately presented the factory and mill owners with demands to introduce an eight-hour workday and increase wages. The entrepreneurs were forced to make concessions to the workers. In August 1917, a "New Life" circle was established at the wool washery with the aim of creating a workers' club and library. ^[35]

On October 28, 1917, the news of the Bolshevik victory reached the village of Nevinnomysskaya by telegraph.

On November 18, 1917, the Government of the South-Eastern Union of Cossack Troops. The village of Nevinnomysskaya, along with the entire Batalpashinsky district, became part of the Union. ^[36]

Thanks to the hard work of the workers, the wool-washing factory was restored, and by 1921, it was processing several tens of thousands of poods of wool, producing 55,000 yards of cloth and 1,500 poods of yarn. ^[37]

During the 1920s, the village's economy was restored, and the consequences of the civil war and famine were eliminated. Peasants and Cossacks increased their plowing, and the number of livestock on their farms increased. More goods were available on the market, but the pre-revolutionary standard of living was not achieved. At the same time, legal barriers between Cossacks and peasants were eliminated, although they still existed on a daily basis. ^[38]

On June 2, 1924, the village of Nevinnomysskaya was transformed from a volost center into a district center within the North Caucasus Territory. A district party committee was established in the village. Hart was elected as the secretary, and the district council and executive committee were established. Baranov was elected as the first chairman of the Nevinnomyssky district executive committee. The Nevinnomyssky district covered an area of 1,923.5 square versts and included 15 village councils: Barsukovsky, Belometsky, Kalininsky, Velikoknyazhesky, Kazminsky, Ivanovsky, Krasno-Derevensky, Malorossiysky, Nevinnomyssky, Novo-Derevensky, Novo-Yekaterininsky and others.^[39]

In February 1928, the first collective farm was established in the village. However, the vast majority of the villagers preferred to keep their own farms. ^[40]

On October 11, 1939, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic issued a decree transforming Nevinnomyssk into the city of Nevinnomyssk. ^[41]

The outbreak of the Great Patriotic War interrupted the peaceful life of the new city. In the first week of the war, 1,499 people were conscripted and sent to the front from the city. The conscripts were sent to Stavropol, Baku, and other destinations. In total, during the war years from 1941 to 1945, the conscripted 15,670 military personnel into the Red Army. Nevinnomyssk residents fought on all fronts and in all branches of the Soviet Armed Forces. ^[42] As a result of the fighting and the German occupation, the city of Nevinnomyssk was severely damaged. Almost all of the city's, institutions, and agricultural facilities were destroyed and looted. Several thousand Nevinnomyssk residents did not return from the war. Despite this, the city was rebuilt in record time. ^[43]

However, the city truly came to life in the second half of the 1950s and early 1970s.

Many residents of Nevinnomyssk achieved significant success in the public and political sphere in the 1960s and 1980s, thus making their hometown famous. Among them, Marshal Kulikov stands out.

In 2002, Nevinnomyssk experienced one of the most devastating natural disasters in the city's history. The flood was caused by heavy rainfall, leading to a sharp increase in water levels in the Kuban River and its tributaries. The water pressure destroyed the coastal fortifications, which led to the flooding of large areas of the city. Residential buildings, social facilities, and agricultural land were flooded. Some houses were almost in the middle of the raging river, with water reaching their roofs. Most of the city's Zakubanskaya zone was flooded, leaving residents without electricity, drinking water, or gas. The water overflowed the bridges over the Kuban River, cutting off the flooded part of the city from Nevinnomyssk. Heavy military equipment and helicopters were used to rescue people, and people were taken off rooftops and trees. The flood also caused significant damage to the city's and the region's economy, with agricultural land, commercial facilities, and service industries being damaged or destroyed. ^[49]
