General information and history

Kirovo-Chepetsk is located in the center of the Kirov region, 22 kilometers southeast of its capital, near the confluence of the Cheptsy River with Vyatka. It is the capital of the Kirovo-Chepetsk municipal district, without being part of it and part of the Kirov agglomeration. The city was founded in 1935. The area of ​​the city is 53.36 km².

Residents of Ancient Rus' began to settle in the vicinity of the future Kirovo-Chepetsk in the 12th century. Six centuries later, historical documents mentioned the village of Ust-Chepetsk, sometimes referred to as Ust-Cheptsa. In the 1870s, a private match factory was built in the village, which then became the second largest in the Vyatka province.

The Bolsheviks established themselves in Ust-Chepts in December 1917. Eighteen years later, the construction of the Kirov Thermal Power Plant began, and three years later, a chemical plant. The power plant began operating in 1942. To provide it with fuel, the development of peat began nearby, and in connection with this the village of Karintorf was founded. In March of the same year, Ust-Cheptsa received the status of a workers' settlement and a new name - Kirovo-Chepetsky. After the Victory, the history and economy of the workers' village and city were mainly connected with the Kirovo-Chepetsk chemical plant, the largest in Europe. Since 1946, the chemical plant took part in the development of the atomic bomb, so that it began to produce uranium hexafluoride, necessary for the enrichment of this element. Since 1951, lithium isotopes began to be produced here in order to create thermonuclear weapons.

In March 1955, the workers' settlement received the status of a city and the name Kirovo-Chepetsk. At the same time, a number of nearby villages were included in its composition. Five years later, the city became a regional center, and in 1961 - a city of regional subordination. In 1972, a large electrical machine-building enterprise was founded, producing switching equipment for civil aviation (in our time - OJSC VELKONT Electrical Machine-Building Plant). The following year, construction of a mineral fertilizer plant began, where granulated ammonium nitrate and azophosphate (nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizer) were produced for the first time. In 1986, the second stage of production of complex mineral fertilizers was commissioned.

In 1990, the village of Karintorf was included in Kirovo-Chepetsk. In 1992, the city became a city with a population of 100,000 for several years, and in 1993 it added eight villages, part of the Prigorodny village and the Boevo railway crossing.

Architecture, sights

The city is covered with a grid of straight and wide streets. It is built up mainly with residential buildings of 4-5 and 9 floors.

A large beautiful temple was founded in 1989. The church is located in a picturesque location surrounded by green spaces. From the hill on which the temple is located, the Vyatka River is clearly visible.

House on chicken legs

This is what the residents of Kirovo-Chepetsk call the experimental building on supports. Not only the architectural appearance of the modern building is interesting, but also its internal layout. The house has a single entrance, two-story apartments, technical floors and many windows.

At the entrance to Kirovo-Chepetsk there is a stele that reflects the essence of the young, dynamically developing city. Young workers hold pictures of chemical elements in their hands. Travelers understand that they have arrived in the city of chemists.

The composition, more than 20 m high, is clearly visible from several kilometers away. The stela at the entrance from Kirov is one of the symbols of Kirovo-Chepetsk.

Visit the townspeople's favorite vacation spots - a beautiful park and alley on Pervomaiskaya Street. In the well-groomed area there are benches, lanterns, and flower beds.

Private zoo

The small town has its own zoo. It was organized by a local entrepreneur at the request and with the active support of the townspeople. The area of ​​the old dance floor came in handy.

In 2008, a kindness corner opened in the city park. Now the zoo is home to raccoons, arctic foxes, foxes, ostriches, minks, ungulates, and several species of birds.

The natural attractions of Kirovo-Chepetsk will interest tourists no less than the city itself. City dwellers often go out into nature. Follow their example and you too.

Oryol Lake

The picturesque reservoir is considered a natural monument and is protected by the state. Around the lake there are dense forests and small swampy lowlands.

There are small islands in the middle of the oval-shaped lake. There is a small beach area on the shore on the northwest side.

The water has a unique composition. The underground waters that feed the lake contain large amounts of minerals. At the bottom there is organic silt. The clear water is only about a meter thick.

While traveling outside the city, visit the village of Pasegovo. Here is one of the oldest churches in the Kirov region. The Church of the Icon of the Mother of God “The Sign” was built in 1726. The beautiful stone temple was built in the Vyatka Baroque style.

At the beginning of the 19th century, reconstruction of the dome vault began, and in 1831 a bell tower was added in the style of Russian classicism.

After 30 years, renovation of the refectory began. At the end of the 19th century, the temple acquired its final form. Now the building inside is in good condition. The facade requires restoration.

Believers and clergy protect the appearance of the temple and its interior to the best of their ability. Local and regional authorities provide support if restoration work is necessary.

Krivoborsk settlement

A Vyatka settlement was discovered in the Kirovo-Chepetsk region. Not far from the city, sites of ancient people of the Azelin and Ananyin times were found.

The Krivoborsk settlement stretches over 0.3 hectares. Archaeologists who studied the finds and remains of buildings believe that the settlement dates back to the 12th-14th centuries. After research, scientists established that there was a security post here for the ancient Vyatka city of Nikulitsyn.

During the excavations, archaeologists found many arrowheads, knives, an ax wedge, and other iron objects. Among the valuable finds are a primitive spindle whorl and pottery made by ancient Russian craftsmen.

The exhibits can be viewed in the local history museum in the regional center. The remains of the ancient settlement also impress tourists.

The archaeological site is located between the villages of Krivobor and Gorodniki. You can get here by bus, personal transport or taxi.

A trip to the city of chemists Kirovo-Chepetsk will allow you to discover new facets of the original Volga region town. Even in small towns there are always wonderful places that are valuable for tourists.

During your next trip to Russia, spend a few days on the capital of Dymkovo toys - the city of Kirov. You will get acquainted with the unique exhibits of the city museums and the works of talented craftsmen. Have a nice trip!

Kirovo-Chepetsk is a small town in the Kirov region. Kirovo-Chepetsk received city status in 1955, in connection with the construction of the Kirovo-Chepetsk chemical plant. Since its founding, a mineral fertilizer plant has also appeared in the city. Thus, Kirovo-Chepetsk appears to tourists as a classic small industrial city.

However, during its short history the city has managed to collect several unique attractions that attract tourists.

The city's attractions:

At the entrance to the city from Kirov, a unique stele was installed; it appeared on this site back in 1990. The stele has a height 20 m, it shows a couple holding a shield with chemical signs. The creators of this stele wanted to show that Kirovo-Chepetsk is a city of young chemists.

The stele is the unofficially recognized patroness and protector of the city. Many legends are associated with its construction - some researchers believe that it was created back in 1976. Quite serious research is being conducted on this topic.

Coming to a new city, tourists want to get acquainted with its history. In Kirovo-Chepetsk, this can be done by visiting the museum and exhibition center, which arose in the city in 1960, on the initiative of the director of the chemical plant Ya.F. Tereshchenko. Tourists are presented with several halls that tell about the city and the region. Thus, halls on the history of the 19th and 20th centuries are open to tourists.

The museum's collection contains more than a thousand exhibits, most of which were donated by local residents. The museum is open daily and has a website where you can find all the latest information about the work of the organization.

On the site of the city, there used to be the village of Ust-Cheptsa, which was famous for its churches, however, with the advent of Soviet power, all the churches were destroyed. Only in 1989 was it decided to restore, according to old plans, one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the Vyatka River valley - the All Saints Cathedral, made of red brick.

The cathedral stands on a small hill, from which a beautiful view of the city and the Vyatka River opens. A small but very picturesque embankment originates from the temple.

A Sunday school was opened at the church in the early nineties, which, like the cathedral, is still active today. Anyone can go into the evening school building, visit its library and get acquainted with religious books.

The city also has a church that stands out among the entire ensemble of architecture - the Grace Church of Evangelical Christian Baptists. Due to the peculiarities of beliefs, the church is completely different from ordinary Orthodox churches - it appears to city guests as a building made in the postmodern style - a red brick building with huge windows of bizarre shapes. The church fits perfectly into the natural landscape in which it was installed.

Since Kirovo-Chepetsk is an industrial city, the bulk of its attractions are factories. The most attractive plant, from a tourist point of view, is ZMU, this is justified by the fact that it is the first plant that tourists see when approaching the city.

The next interesting attraction associated with the city's industry is the building of the Absolut meat processing plant, built in the late Gothic style and this is strikingly different from the entire ensemble of the city. Although it takes a long time to get there, it is a very interesting building and can make for some great photos, so it is worth a visit. In addition, the plant has a store with its own products, so tourists can buy delicious sausages here.

Moving on to urban architecture, the first thing I would like to note is the so-called house “on chicken legs”, which greets tourists at the entrance to the city (it is located right behind the stele described above).

During the construction of the house, the architects decided to conduct a kind of experiment - they decided to install it on supports, which, with the help of local residents, were called “chicken legs”. The house is also interesting for its internal layout - it is a residential building with two-story apartments, an abundance of windows, uninhabited technical floors, two elevators (passenger and freight) and only one entrance. This house is a classic example of the work of Soviet architects, who tried in every possible way to complicate their designs.

An important element of any Soviet city is the Eternal Flame memorial. In Kirovo-Chepetsk it is no different from those present in any other regional center of Russia. It is noteworthy that nearby, in 2006, a memorial sign appeared in honor of the participants in the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident - in 1986, more than 6 thousand people were sent to Pripyat.

By the way, the city hall was against the installation of this sign, and therefore local residents installed it secretly on the night of April 25-26, 2006.

Another monument dedicated to military history greets tourists at the intersection of Kirov Avenue and Gorky Street - in 2007, an infantry fighting vehicle was installed here in honor of residents of the area who died during military conflicts.

The names of 14 residents of Kirovo-Chepetsk who died in Afghanistan are engraved on granite slabs next to the infantry fighting vehicles. Several times a year, during memorable dates, rallies are held here.

Walking around the city, it is impossible to pass by the building of the Druzhba cultural center and the small square in front of it.

First of all, the Druzhba House of Culture is striking due to the architects' decision; it was built in 1952; it looks much more ancient, thanks to the white columns and the general burgundy color of the building. Also next to the cultural center there are several statues, which, in general, gives the building the appearance of an ancient temple or a building from the era of classicism. However, the Hammer and Sickle are installed on the square - symbols of Soviet power.

If possible, tourists should go to the reporting concerts of creative associations of the Palace of Culture, since they are among the most successful in the region.

Near another house of culture there is an unusual fountain, inside of which unique statues appear before tourists. Currently, the fountain is under reconstruction, and tourists have the opportunity to view the statues - in the center of the exhibition are two naked girls, whose hands are intertwined. They symbolize two rivers flowing and merging within the city - Cheptsa and Vyatka. Those tourists who want to look at the working fountain should go to the Cleopatra restaurant.

Located outside the city, the recreation area creates all the conditions for a healthy holiday - a sanatorium, houses, beaches, a bathhouse, a swimming pool, a sports ground and barbecue grills have been built. Artificial ponds and unique waterfalls create an incredible atmosphere that promotes healing. In winter, this place also operates, turning into a ski resort that is loved by locals and visitors to the city.

Krivoborsk Cemetery

Those tourists who are interested in earlier history are recommended to visit the Krivoborsk cemetery - a complex of finds dating back to the 12th-14th centuries. Researchers suggest that the ancient Vyatka settlement of Nikulitsyn was located on the site of the cemetery. During excavations, archaeologists found household items of the Vyatichi people - all these finds became exhibits in the museum and exhibition hall. Tourists at the Krivoborsk cemetery can see the remains of the ancient settlement.

I would also like to say separately about the attractions that you can safely visit with your children. First of all, tourists with children should visit the zoo, located in the city park. It was created in 2008 by private entrepreneurs. The zoo is open all year round and offers its guests a look at various species of animals and birds. A private zoo is a unique example of how you can develop a city with your own hands, and it also shows how much local residents love their city. The zoo is open to tourists only on weekdays.

The alley runs from the city's central administration building to Mira Avenue. In the summer, almost all city residents spend their leisure time here, since a large number of plantings and comfortable benches simply cannot but please the eye.

At first glance, Kirovo-Chepetsk may seem like a faceless city - built only in the mid-twentieth century, the center of the chemical industry of the Kirov region does not make tourists want to visit. However, external impersonality is deceptive - Kirovo-Chepetsk has a huge number of unique attractions that will not leave even the most avid tourist indifferent.
