Bald Mountain History
XIX century
The name “Bald Mountain” was formed because the forest, which had previously covered it, was sold by the local landowner in the 1820s for the construction of the bell tower of the Assumption Cathedral . The cut down wood was used for the manufacture of scaffolding , and not suitable as “commercial wood” was used to burn bricks , which were made immediately at the brick factory (in Savkin Yar). As a result of deforestation, the mountain is completely “half-dead”; in no way restrained vernal ("mountain", as it was called then) water began to regularly flood the foothill villages - Ivanovka and Panasovka. The floods stopped only after conducting drainage work during the laying of the railroad tracks in 1860-1870.
From about the 1840s, the eastern slope of the mountain began to be inhabited by representatives of the Kharkov poor, who were unable to maintain the appearance of their dwellings in a form corresponding to the provincial center. Later, in 1870-1890, the development of Lysa Gora went more intensively: in connection with the launch of the Kursk-Kharkov railway, railway employees and work depots , steam repair workshops and emerging factories (brewing, ceramic, etc.) began to settle there. In the late 1880s, a cemetery appeared on Lysa Gora (it still exists today). Later, in 1898-1912, on the Kurilovskaya street (after Leningradskaya, and during the decommunization which returned the name Kurilovskaya), going north from Kuzinskaya (now the Revolution of 1905), an Orthodox church was built in the name of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God , never closed and acting now.
Early 20th Century
In 1901, the first kindergarten was opened on Lysaya Gora in Kharkov for children of workers and the poor for 100 children with two teachers.
Soviet years
In the pre-war years, a tank farm was set up below the cemetery. In the 1920s, on the top of Lysaya Gora, the “socialist” village “New Life” (aka “Red October”) was laid down with typical low-rise buildings for railway workers. Streets New Life, Progress, Ossetian and Kholodnogorsk, radially diverging from the center of the village (now there is a turning point of the trolleybus line), formed the symbolic rays of a five-pointed star .
During the years of famine in Ukraine, 1932-1933, on the outskirts of Progress Street, people who died from hunger were buried, picked up on the streets of the city.
One of the main attractions of the region is the “Alley of Thieves' Glory” at the 8th cemetery (at the end of Dobrodetsky Street).
