Vasily Goltsov Street
Vasily Goltsov Street appeared on the city map in 2007, when fields around the village of Sukhodolye began to be built up.
Vasily was born on February 25, 1912 (there is an entry about this in the metric book of the Churtanov Ascension Church of the Ishim district, preserved in the State Archive of the Tyumen region) in the family of a peasant farmhand, a migrant from Central Russia.
From 1920 to 1922, he served in the Red Army as a Red Army soldier in the 33rd Infantry Regiment of the Siberian Military District (Omsk). After demobilization, he returned to his native village and worked on his own farm. He was proficient in blacksmithing and carpentry, invented a winnowing machine of his own design, and improved some types of agricultural implements, including a plow for plowing wetlands, which preserved a thin layer of fertile soil.
Since 1929, he has been a member of the Krasny Plakhar collective farm (then merged with a neighboring collective farm into a more enlarged Frunze collective farm). Due to the presence of homemade machinery on his farm in 1931, V.S. Goltsov was dispossessed, but at the request of his fellow villagers he was not evicted or expelled from the collective farm. Subsequently, the decision to dekulakize was found to be erroneous. Since 1936, V.S. Goltsov has been deputy chairman of the Frunze collective farm.
On September 14, 1941, he was drafted into the Red Army by the Vikulovsky district military enlistment office of the Omsk region. Since 1941, Goltsov, a Red Army soldier, was in the active army, fought with the number of anti-tank weapons in the 1224th infantry regiment of the 368th Infantry Division of the seventh separate army, participated in defensive and offensive operations in Karelia.
In the battle on July 28, 1942, when the Red Army’s offensive units came under machine-gun fire, he destroyed a machine-gun emplacement with several shots from his anti-tank rifle and opened the way for infantry. On the same day, while repelling a counterattack on the captured line, he personally shot down a German tank. In this battle, he was seriously wounded in the leg with joint damage. V.S. Goltsov was presented with the Order of the Red Star, but after almost ten years he was awarded only a medal. After being hospitalized in September 1942, he was discharged from the Red Army due to disability.
The village of Churtan, then Ishimsky district (now Vikulovsky district), traces its history back to the beginning of the 18th century. The settlement originated as a small settlement, where about 30 families lived. During the Stolypin reform, thousands of immigrants from Central Russia flocked to Siberia, including the father of the future hero, Spyridon Goltsov.
In 1929, the Krasny Vostok collective farm was organized in the village. The Goltsovs' father and son were the first to enroll in it. Their fate was not easy: first, the dispossession (the family had self-made machinery), then the restoration of justice.
Goltsov Jr. became a blacksmith and a carpenter. A few years later, he became deputy chairman of the collective farm, and since April 1944 he has been its chairman. But that was already when Vasily, seriously wounded, returned from the front.
The united collective farm "Krasny Vostok" and "Krasny Plowman" began to bear the name of the legendary MV Frunze. Vasily Goltsov was in charge of the collective farm until the last days of his life.
The post-war years in Siberia, and throughout the country, were especially difficult and hungry. People on collective farms received literally grams of bread, and the "Frunzens" were given as much as 3 kilos of grain and 3 rubles each for a workday! The harvests were good. But success doesn’t come by itself. Skillful leadership, identification of main and secondary tasks — all this was of great importance.
The most important thing in field cultivation at that time was the expansion of acreage: over the years
After the war, they have significantly decreased. At the initiative of the chairman, the marshes were drained with the help of MTS, turning them into hayfields, pastures and arable land. Several channels were dug manually with the help of shovels. The work was carried out in the autumn, after harvesting, up to 500 people went out per day. One of the first collective farm power plants in the region was also built in the village.
The collective farm did not lag behind in terms of growth rates and in animal husbandry. Horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry, silver-black foxes… All this farming required a solid fodder base, the construction of standard rooms. Vikulovsky district is not rich in forests, so we decided to organize our own brick production. Moreover, Goltsov himself, having studied the relevant literature, set about composing a mixture of local clay and sand.
Construction crews were formed, special units were purchased, and the plant began to produce up to one million bricks per season!
The construction became a special page in the biography of the collective farm, which took the initiative: "Rural schools — on their own!" and built a secondary school with 520 places. The initiative was picked up by Tobolsk, Ishim, Golyshman, Yalutorovsky and other districts of the region. Meanwhile, in the center of the village of Churtan, a two-story building of the House of Culture with an auditorium for 500 seats, rooms for club work, a library, and a reading room rose. The collective farmers built everything according to the chairman’s designs, with great cost savings (the design cost of the House of Culture was about a million, and it was built for 120 thousand rubles).
As a child, Vasily did not have a chance to study at school, he had to learn knowledge on his own from books and magazines. He mastered the basics of agricultural technology and animal husbandry, and learned how to make the necessary household calculations. After taking courses at the Sverdlovsk Agricultural Institute, he returned with a diploma as a junior agronomist.

The Frunze collective farm turned into a large multi-industry farm, and became a "millionaire" in terms of income. In 1947, Vasily Goltsov, chairman of the collective farm, and Prokopy Artamonov, foreman of the field brigade, were awarded the high title of Heroes of Socialist Labor with the Hammer and Sickle medal and the Order of Lenin. Another 28 people were awarded orders and medals.
In 1956, Vasily Goltsov was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor. And there was a reason, in 1957 the income of the collective farm was already more than three million rubles. According to the drawings and calculations of the chairman, we built an excellent grain dryer on our own.
A special place was allocated to the Frunze collective farm in the Siberia pavilion at VDNH. As a result of his economic activities in the fifties, he was awarded a first degree diploma, and his chairman was awarded a large gold medal.
Vasily Goltsov generously shared his experience: he spoke from the rostrum of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR for three convocations.
Currently, a memorial plaque has been erected on the building of the House of Culture in the village of Churtan in honor of the hero — countryman. Streets in the city of Tyumen and the village of Vikulovo, Tyumen region, are named after him. The school museum in the village of Churtan is named after Vasily Spiridonovich Goltsov.
