But the war made its own adjustments, and the opening of the theater took place on May 12, 1945. During the war, evacuated exhibits from museums in Moscow and Leningrad were kept in the building of the future theater.

The beginning of the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway (1891) gave impetus to the development of the city's industry. Before the October Revolution of 1917, Novosibirsk (until 1925 - Novonikolaevsk) was the commercial and industrial center of Western Siberia. The leading industry in those years was the milling industry.

Plants of Novosibirsk

The largest plant "Trud", founded in 1904, produced spare parts for the mechanisms of mills, oil factories and agricultural machinery. Before the war of 1941-1945, many industrial enterprises were being built in Novosibirsk, among them a tin factory, Sibcombine, and a boring machine plant. In 1936, an aircraft manufacturing plant was opened, which in 1939 was named after Valery Pavlovich Chkalov.

The second powerful impetus to the development of industry was given by the Great Patriotic War... Many enterprises from Leningrad and other cities of the USSR were evacuated to the largest city in Siberia, due to this, the production of products for the front increased 8 times: only Yak fighters for the front were produced up to 33 aircraft per day.

Modern Novosibirsk

In modern Novosibirsk there are 214 enterprises that produce 2/3 of the volume of all products of the Novosibirsk region. The leading industries of the city include mechanical engineering, metallurgy, energy, chemical, light and food industries. In 1985, the first metro stations were opened in Novosibirsk. This is the very first metro beyond the Urals with the world's longest covered metro bridge.

The city grew and developed rapidly; in just a few decades, a small town with a population of 100 thousand people became a millionaire city. Only Chicago can boast of such growth rates. There was a center in Novosibirsk (Novonikolaevsk) Russian Empire... In this place, in honor of the 300th anniversary of the Romanovs' house, a chapel was built in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, designed by the famous architect A.D. Kryachkov.

The chapel is a symbol of Novosibirsk

The project of the chapel was made in the style of the Novgorod-Pskov architecture of the XII-XIV centuries. In 1933, by order of the City Council, "taking into account the wishes of the working masses and taking into account the improvement of the city", the chapel was destroyed. To the 100th anniversary of the city, in 1993 the Nikolskaya chapel was re-erected. The project of the new chapel was carried out by the architect P.A. Chernobrovtsev.
Novosibirsk also gained world fame thanks to its unique zoo, which occupies one of the leading places in the world for the conservation of rare animal species.

The largest city in Siberia continues to grow and develop actively. Much attention is paid not only to the construction of new modern buildings, but also to the preservation of the historical architectural heritage.

Siberia population

The population of Siberia is about 24 million people. Largest cities Siberia - Novosibirsk 1 million 390 thousand people, Omsk 1 million 131 thousand people, Krasnoyarsk 936.4 thousand people, Barnaul 597 thousand people, Irkutsk 575.8 thousand people, Novokuznetsk 562 thousand people, Tyumen 538 thousand people. Ethnically, the bulk of the population is Russians, but many other ethnic groups and nationalities live in this territory, such as the Buryats, Dolgans, Nenets, Komi, Khakasy, Chukchi, Evenki, Yakuts, etc.

The peoples of Siberia differed greatly in language, economic structure and social development.

The Yukaghirs, Chukchi, Koryaks, Itelmens, Nivkhs, as well as the Asian Eskimos were at the earliest stage of social organization. Their development proceeded in the direction of patriarchal-clan orders, and some features were already present (patriarchal family, slavery), but elements of matriarchy were still preserved: there was no division into clans and clan exogamy.

Most of the peoples of Siberia were at various stages of the patriarchal clan system.

These are the Evenks, Kuznetsk and Chulym Tatars, Kotts, Kachins, and other tribes of Southern Siberia. Remnants of patriarchal-clan relations have been preserved among many tribes that have embarked on the path of class formation. These are the Yakuts, the ancestors of the Buryats, Daurs, Duchers, Khanty-Mansi tribes.

Only the Siberian Tatars, defeated by Ermak, had their own statehood.

The rural population predominates in autonomous regions: in the Buryat Ust-Orda district there is no urban population at all, in the Buryat Aginsky district it is only 32%, and in the Evenk district - 29%.

The current migration growth of the population of the VSED is negative (-2.5 pers.

per 1000 inhabitants), which leads to the depopulation of the district's population. Moreover, negative migration from the Taimyr and Evenki Autonomous Okrugs is an order of magnitude higher than the average and creates the prospect of complete depopulation of these regions.
The population density in the region is extremely low, four times lower than the average for Russia.

In the Evenki district, it is three people per 100 km2 - a record low in the country. And only in the south - in the forest-steppe Khakassia, the population density is close to the average Russian.

The economically active population of Eastern Siberia was 50%, which is close to the national average.

The industry employed about 23% of the working population, in (in Russia, respectively, 22.4% and 13.3%). The overall unemployment rate is very high (in the Republics of Buryatia and Tyva, as well as in the Chita region.

The unemployment rate in the VSED is quite high, and its composition includes a large proportion of hidden unemployment.
The ethnic composition of the population of Eastern Siberia was formed as a result of centuries-old mixing of the indigenous Turkic-Mongolian and Russian Slavic population with the participation of small small peoples of Siberia, including those living in taiga regions and in the Far North.

The peoples of the Turkic group live in the upper reaches of the Yenisei - Tuvans, Khakass.

In the mountains and steppes of Cisbaikalia and Transbaikalia, representatives of the Mongolian group live - the Buryats, in the taiga regions of the central part of the Krasnoyarsk Territory - the Evenks belonging to the Tungus-Manzhur language group. On the Taimyr Peninsula live Nenets, Nganasans and t brisk-speaking Dolgans (related to the Yakuts).

In the lower reaches of the Yenisei, there is a small people of the Keta, who have an isolated language that is not included in any of the groups. All these peoples, with the exception of the extremely small Kets and Nganasans, have their own national-territorial formations - republics or districts.

Most of the population of Eastern Siberia adheres to the Orthodox faith, with the exception of the Buryats and Tuvans, who are Buddhists (Lamaists). The small peoples of the North and the Evenks retain traditional pagan beliefs.

Population of the West Siberian region

The total urban population is 71%.

The most urbanized are the Kemerovo region, where the number of urban residents reaches 87%, and the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - 91%.

At the same time, in the Altai Republic, 75% of the population are rural residents.
The area differs in population density. Very high population density in the Kemerovo region. - about 32 people / km2.

The minimum density in the polar Yamal-Nenets okrug is 0.7 people / km2.

The economically active population of Western Siberia was 50%, which was slightly higher than the national average. Industry employed about 21% of the working population, in agriculture - about 13.2%.

The overall unemployment rate in Western Siberia was below the national average only in the Tyumen region.

In other regions, it exceeded the national average. In terms of registered unemployment, all regions, except for the Novosibirsk region, were in the worst position relative to the national average (1.4%). Most of the registered unemployed are in the Tomsk region - 2.1% of the economically active population. In the oil Khanty-Mansiysk District, their number is 1.5 times higher than the average in Russia.

The ethnic composition of the population of Western Siberia is represented by Slavic (mainly Russians), Ugric and Samoyed (Khanty, Mansi, Nenets) and Turkic (Tatars, Kazakhs, Altai, Shors) peoples.

The Russian population is numerically predominant in all regions of the Western Economic Area. The Nenets, who are part of the Samoyedic language group of the Uralic family, live mainly in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District and are its indigenous people. Khanty and Mansi, belonging to the Ugric group of the Ural family, live in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. Turkic peoples - Kazakhs and Tatars live in the steppe and forest-steppe zones, and the Altai and Shors - in the mountainous regions of Altai and Gornaya Shoria in the Kemerovo region.

Sometimes the Transbaikalia region is also referred to this territory. Since the regions of Siberia are known for their vastness, disputes often arise over the division of its lands.

Western Siberia is located on the vast West Siberian Plain. Its area is about 2.6 million square meters. km. Its territory also contains a large amount of natural resources - minerals. There are about 2 thousand river arteries here.

Atlas des Enfans: Lempire Rousse, Imrimé à Luniversité Imperiale de Moscou, 1771.

Here I don't even know what to say. I did not find any other information about this city. I wonder where the authors got this fact from? On the other hand, the book was printed in the printing house of Moscow University. Dedicated to some kind of Kriegs commissar Glebov. It must have passed the censorship. That means they didn’t just write.

It turns out that the same book was published under a different title: The experience of Russian geography. Imperial Moscow University, 1771. And there it is dedicated to all the governors of the then Russia, according to the list. And each one was sent a copy to correct errors and inaccuracies
Opening cities is my specialty, heh!
That's not all. The city of Tyumen appears to have had a different name earlier. Again, this is not written anywhere else.

Book: Abulgachi-Bayadur-khan A genealogical history of the Tatars, translated into French from a handwritten Tatar book, the works of Abulgachi-Bayadur-khan, and supplemented by a great number of reliable and curious notes about the direct current state of North Asia with the required geographical land maps, and from French in Russian at the Academy of Sciences. Published at the end of the 18th century. And part of the map is from there. And the city of Siberia is very clearly visible on it.

The first Siberian tsar had, according to the 17th century chroniclers, a very interesting name - Ivan. Although there was Magmetov's law. It’s very interesting what exactly the law and not faith. This is not the first time I have come across this very definition - law. It differs from the concept - faith. This is a completely different view of the events of that time.
Someone Chingis killed Ivan. Also Tatar. Miller, in his Description of the Siberian Kingdom and all things that happened in it,: St. Petersburg: Under the Imp. Acad. Sciences, 1750. - Tatars are the first and most important people of Siberia.
Besides them, the Chyud people live on the Irtysh River, as follows from the text.
The city of Siberia was founded by Tsar Mamet somewhere at the end of the 15th century, judging by the text. And the kingdom of Siberia was part of the kingdom of Kazan for many years.
By the way, a very interesting point. The first king in Russia was Ivan the Terrible and before that we had only princes. But the Siberian, Astrakhan, Kazan and Crimean rulers were originally called tsars. Why this is so is unclear. There was something about which we now do not even know what put these lands and their rulers above the Russian principalities in the then table of ranks. But what Kazan and Siberia. There was the Kasimov kingdom, right next to Moscow. And there was a king and not a prince.
At the end of the text interesting fact - the names of the sons of Kuchum do not coincide with the names recorded in our present history. I already wrote about the Siberian princes.
And now if you re-read the entire text and estimate how much time has passed from Chinggis to Kuchum, it turns out that a little. Years 100-150.
And finally. The then historian does not make any connection between Chinggis and the Tatars, with whom Russia constantly fought. And this is actually correct. I’ll write about this as well.
