Eyes

There are several versions of the origin of the name of the city ^[5] .

The geographical version arose due to the fact that the geographical features of the relief of the city resemble the shape of the eye, when viewed from a bird's-eye view or from Soldyrskaya mountain.

According to the toponymic legend , the name of the city gave Catherine II . The drawing plan of the future district city, presented to the empress, caused her association with the All-Seeing Eye (eye), therefore the city was named “Eyes”. Meanwhile, the future city was called the village of Glazov long before the Ekaterina’s administrative reform of 1780.

According to the version put forward by local historian M. I. Buney, the name of the city is the Russian translation of the Udmurt toponym Singurt - literally “eye-village”. Udmurts called the place where the spring beats out of the ground with the word “ blue eye” ^[6] .

The most plausible version raises the name of the city to the name (or surname) of its founder. According to A. G. Tatarintsev , the toponym "Singurt" was invented by local historians themselves, since it has not been documented anywhere. The name “Glazov” was never translated by Udmurts. It was first mentioned in the Russian census book for 1678 , and the census takers usually never translated the Udmurt village names, either writing down their Udmurt name, or a well-known Russian, or calling the village after the name of the founder. So, by the name of the founder, was recorded and Glazov. The truth is not known who exactly was the founder of the repair and what name formed the basis of his name - Russian, Udmurt or Tatar ^[7] .

In addition to the official name, the unofficial name “Northern capital of Udmurtia” also stuck to the city. This name Glazov received in memory of the fact that in 1921 he was the first capital of the Votsk Autonomous Region .

Geographical position

The city of Glazov is located in the Ural region in the north-west of Udmurtia, 180 km from Izhevsk , on the left bank of the Cheptsy river (a tributary of the Vyatka ). The length of Glazov from north to south is 4-5 km, from west to east - 10-12 km. The city covers an area of ​​6,916 hectares, its perimeter is 64 km.

Relief and soil

The relief of the city of Glazov is flat, cut by the valleys of the Cheptsy, Sygi and Malaya Sygi rivers . Absolute heights range from 135 to 235 m (Mount Soldier, part of the territory of the urban district). On the territory of the city and in its vicinity there are various soils: gray podzolic on the substrate alluvial sandy loams and heavy surface loam, young artificial, having a sandy substrate of alluvial material, podzolic hydromorphic on a loamy, sandy-sandy substrate, and peat-marsh soils.

Time Zone

The city of Glazov is located in the time zone designated internationally as the Samara Time Zone (SAMT) . The offset from UTC is +4: 00. Time in Glazov corresponds to geographic zone time .

Climate

The climate of the city is moderately continental with the determining influence of continental air masses of temperate latitudes. In summertime, very warm air masses come from the south and southeast, causing hot dry weather. The frost-free period is 112 days. Spring frosts stop at the end of May.

Background

Glazov’s chronology dates back to 1678 , when on the pages of the household census of Mikhail Petrovich Voeikov and clerk Fyodor Prokofiev in the Chepetsk share of the Karinsky camp of the Khlynovsky district , the “Glazov village beyond the river Chepetya ”, consisting of 11 U. The use of the term “village” rather than “ repairs ”, as well as a significant population, indicates that the settlement had existed for some time at the time of the census. He was not mentioned in the census of 1662, so he could appear in any year between these censuses. The fixes, judging by the census data, were founded by people from the neighboring village of Krasnaya Sludka ^{[7] [9]} .

After the wooden Ascension Church was built in 1747, the village became the village of Glazov.

District city as part of Vyatka province

In 1780, by decree of Catherine II, the village of Glazovo received the status and emblem of the city. The number of residents at that time was less than a thousand people. The newly formed city became the center of Glazov County ^[10] .

In 1793, a stone cathedral , called the Transfiguration, was built on the central square of the city. From 1796 to 1818, Pyotr Fyodorovich Tchaikovsky , the grandfather of composer PI Tchaikovsky , was the mayor of Glazov. When the mayor of Tchaikovsky Glazov acquired the town hall and the first hospital.

Since 1804, the construction of the city is carried out according to the plan of the architect from St. Petersburg Ivan Lem . A rare type of radial-arc layout of the city center has been preserved to this day. If you look at the central square from above, then in form it represents an eye , from which seven street-eyelashes diverge, which gives the name of the city a special symbolism.

In 1811, Ivan Seliverstovich Volkov, a merchant of the 2nd guild, was acting head of the city; his report states that the city’s society does not feel oppressed by the city authorities ^{[ significance of fact? ] [11]} .

On October 7, 1823, the city was visited by Emperor Alexander I , who traveled extensively in the last years of his life. He stayed at the Lyapunov house and presented the hostess with an expensive ring.

In 1826, participants in the Decembrist uprising were transported to Siberia through the eyes. In 1837, the future emperor Alexander II stayed on his way to the Urals in Glazov. The Russian poet Vasily Andreevich Zhukovsky accompanied him on this trip. In honor of this event, a Alexander Nevsky chapel was built in the city (it has now been restored to original sketches).

By 1856, Glazov became the main shopping center of the county. Bread, flax, leather, hemp, lard were exported abroad through the port of Arkhangelsk . In the second half of the 19th century, along with many other cities of the Russian Empire distant from the capitals, Glazov is the place of exile for members of various political and social movements. In 1879, V. G. Korolenko was exiled here, later describing Glazov in the essay “The Unreal City” (1880).

In 1876, a women's gymnasium opened in the city, becoming a full-fledged secondary school at the beginning of the 20th century. Soon a male gymnasium appeared in the city.

Since 1877, the construction of the Transfiguration Cathedral begins on the Cathedral Square. On September 24, 1879, the unfinished cathedral collapsed ^[12] . An emergency commission from Vyatka revealed errors in the calculations of the builders. After 8 years, according to the corrected drawings, everything was restored with special care, taking into account the strength and beauty of the brickwork. On June 15, 1887, the reborn temple was consecrated. Since 1889, the city occupied the Glazovskoe Vicariate of the Vyatka diocese .

In 1898, the Trans-Siberian Railway passed through the territory of Glazovsky district. Until 1917, in a small provincial town, single-storey and two-storeyed log buildings and few brick buildings prevailed.

Revolution and Civil War

In the First World War, march companies and battalions for the active army were formed in Glazov; there were two hospitals for the wounded. The city was filled with revolutionary-minded soldiers. The Bolshevik Council of Workers', Soldiers' and Peasants' Deputies actually became political power in the city and district even before the armed uprising in Petrograd ^[13] . Having received a message about the overthrow of the Provisional Government, the executive committee of the Council officially declared its sole power.

In the summer of 1918, major anti-Bolshevik uprisings swept through Svyatogorsk, Bykovskaya, Afanasyevskaya and some other volosts of Glazovsky district. They were brutally suppressed by the Red Army units stationed in Glazov ^[14] .

In May-June 1919, the Eastern Front of the Civil War passed through the city. Due to the difficult situation for the Red Army, Stalin and Dzerzhinsky came to Glazov. On June 2, 1919, the city was occupied by Kolchak's Siberian army (group of General Pepeliaev ), but already on June 13 it was again taken under control by the 3rd Red Army. In both cases, the fighting in the city was not.

Soviet years

From January to June 1921, Glazov was the capital of the Votsk Autonomous Region . By 1923, the city’s population reached 4,397 inhabitants.

In the mid-1930s of the 20th century , the first master plan of the Soviet Glazov was developed ^[15] . The architect of the project, Emmanuel Mekler, retained the “rays” of I. Lem, while simultaneously planning the development of the main development to the west. In the late 1930s, construction of a flax factory began.

By June 1941, 16,906 people lived in Glazov. At the beginning of World War II , enterprises and institutions from the western regions of the country were evacuated to the city. These were mainly defense factories with equipment and people. The tobacco factory and the 2nd Leningrad Infantry School , as well as the cartridge factory No. 544, built on the territory of a flax mill and equipped with equipment for the evacuated from Podolsk and Kuntsev cartridge factories worked for the needs of the front .

In the postwar years , the construction of the factory No. 12 understudy began in the city. On the basis of the ammunition plant number 544, the Prikamsky office of Glavgorstroy of the PGU was set up - an enterprise for the production of uranium (the future Chepetsk Mechanical Plant ). To the west of Glazov, construction began on the working village of the plant. In the first years of construction, the village was built up with wooden and filling two-story houses, as well as Finnish houses. In 1947, in the area of ​​Parkovaya and Shkolnaya streets, the first brick residential apartment buildings were built. Since 1948, the working village began to be built up according to a new general plan with typical brick two and three storey houses. In addition to residential buildings, in the first years of the construction of a new factory village, kindergartens, a hospital campus, a school, a canteen, a cinema, a house of culture, etc. were built. For the construction of a new production and settlement, all the available building forces were involved, including German prisoners of war and prisoners. New energy services were designed and urgently put into operation, electrification and heating of the city were carried out.

Since the late 1950s, the construction of the so-called " Khrushchev " began in the city. The workers' settlement of the plant began to be actively built eastwards - in the direction of the old, pre-war buildings of Glazov.

Within two years (1960-1962), the Transfiguration Cathedral was destroyed on Svoboda Square, despite the fact that in 1945 the cathedral was recognized as a monument of architecture of the UASSR . The formal basis for the demolition of the temple was the approved project of a new reinforced concrete bridge across the Cheptsa River, the access route to which is in place of the demolished cathedral ^[12] . In 1962, the last church of the city was demolished - St. George's Church.

In 1965, the first nine-story houses in Udmurtia were commissioned on Lenin Street.

In the late 1960s, a new master plan for the city was developed. In the coming decades, the development of the city was planned in the south-west and north-east, on the site of the old wooden buildings. The first phase of construction involved the construction of a large residential area to the south of the railway. Twenty thousand people were to live in a southwestern residential area, a pond was planned on the Syga River. The northeastern residential area was planned to be built secondarily because of the high cost of construction, the need for alluvium and the demolition of the old wooden buildings. In 1970, due to the discovery of sand pits near the city, it was decided to postpone the construction of a northeast residential area to the first phase of construction. In the 70s microdistricts “B”, “I”, “K” and “L” were built.

In the early 1980s , construction began on a large residential area, Left Bank-1, northeast of the historical part of the city. Especially for the area in various Moscow design institutes residential and public buildings were designed.

In the late 1980s, construction began on a large instrument-making plant belonging to the All-Russia Scientific-Research Institute of Technical Physics and Automation.

In 1987, celebrations were held in Glazov on the occasion of the birth of a 100-thousandth resident ^[16] .

Starting from the 90s in Glazov they planned to start building three large residential districts at once. In the north-east direction was planned Left Bank-2. In the southern direction they planned to build up almost the entire territory of private building. In the western direction, the Khimmash plant developed a project for a residential area on the site of the village of Vaebizh.

Modernity

Before the reforms in the 1990s, the quality of life of the population in Glazov was significantly higher than the nationwide level ^[17] . In the current political and economic situation, the highly urbanized Glazov, closely connected with the military-industrial complex, found itself in a difficult position. The decline in production caused by a drop in demand for products caused an outflow of qualified personnel. Since the beginning of the 1990s, as a result of the economic crisis, the volume of industrial products produced by enterprises of the city has drastically decreased ^[18] . Some enterprises, unable to withstand market competition, have ceased or suspended their activities. The instrument-making plant was never completed. Housing construction practically was not conducted.

Since 2000, the economic situation has been improving, some enterprises have been increasing production, and the construction of residential buildings has resumed.

In 2007, the city lost the status of the one hundred thousandth ^[16] .

In the first decade of the 21st century, large-scale works were carried out on the improvement of the Freedom Square and the reconstruction of the historical ensemble of buildings. A new Transfiguration Cathedral was built on the site of the Ascension Church.

As of January 1, 2018, in terms of population, the city was located at 186 out of 1113 ^[45] cities of the Russian Federation ^[46] .

The structure of local governments of the city (municipality of the city ​​of Glazov ) are: ^[47]

• The head of the municipality;
• Administration of the municipality - local administration (executive and administrative body of the municipality);
• Control and accounting body of the municipality.

Residential Construction

Throughout the history of Glazov, a gradual development of the urban area can be traced in accordance with the approved urban planning documents, which positively affected the formation of a clear planning structure of the city with the allocation of residential and industrial areas, social and business and recreational areas.

The basis of the planning structure of Glazov is formed by mutually perpendicular streets, saturated with social and business objects of various purposes: Kirov Street, passing in the latitudinal direction and connecting the main districts and the public center of the city; Korolenko street, passing in the meridional direction. The territory of the city center has a radial-ring layout laid down in the first general plan of the city, developed by the architect Lem . Here are the main part of the historical and cultural monuments, squares, boulevards, administrative, cultural, social and business buildings and structures.

The main housing stock of the city is concentrated in the territorial-planning formations - residential areas. The total area occupied by residential areas is 681 hectares, of which 469 hectares are occupied by multi-storey and medium-storey apartment buildings, 212 hectares by individual residential houses with land plots.

Formation of areas of mass housing construction occurred in parallel with the placement of large industrial facilities. The main areas of mass housing construction are residential areas of Central, Western, Southern, Left Bank and Syga.

Since the mid-1990s, there has been a significant change in the structure of new housing construction. So, along with multi-storey residential buildings of improved planning, individual housing construction received significant development, which led to a noticeable increase in the territories occupied by low-rise residential buildings.

In 2008, a new General Plan of the city of Glazov was adopted ^[18] .

According to Udmurtstat, the housing stock of Glazov as of January 1, 2006 was 1,820.1 thousand m² - an average of 18.1 m² per inhabitant, which is less than the national figure of about 20 square meters. The Foundation is represented by high-rise (44%) and individual residential buildings (56%). Virtually all apartment buildings are equipped with plumbing, sewage, central heating, electricity. Individual housing stock is also equipped with the main types of engineering infrastructure. The area of ​​dilapidated and emergency buildings is 31 thousand m², or 1.7% of the housing stock.

The largest (according to planned volumes) areas of new housing construction are:

• Northeast residential area - Left Bank-2;

• Southern;

• Syga residential area.

Engineering Infrastructure

Glazov possesses a developed engineering infrastructure, which was formed during the period of active growth of the industrial potential and residential areas of the city (1950—1994). At this time, centralized water supply and drainage systems, heat, gas and electricity, telephone communications were formed.

In Glazov there is a separate centralized sewage system . Wastewater from residential and public buildings, as well as industrial enterprises, after local treatment, enter the municipal sewage system and are transported to a central pumping station and further to biological treatment plants located on the industrial site on the north-western outskirts of the city.
