Malygin Street
(5th Blacksmith Shop)
Malygin Street was once called 5th Kuznechnaya. It received a new name in the 1930s, when the Soviet republic continued to implement the traditional Russian idea of developing the eastern and northern regions of the country. It originated in the 16th century under Ermak Timofeevich. It was scientifically formulated by Mikhail Lomonosov: "Russian power will grow through Siberia." The participants of the great northern expeditions, who conducted research of the Northern Sea Route, the coast of Siberia, the Far East and Northwestern America in the 18th century, made efforts to implement this idea.
Malygin Stepan Gavrilovich (1702−1764), captain-commander, explorer of the Eastern Arctic, was born in Yaroslavl province into the family of a minor local nobleman. After graduating from the Moscow Navigation School in 1717−1735, he served in the Baltic Fleet; in 1733, he compiled the first navigation manual in Russian.
From the beginning of 1736 he was the head of the Dvinsk-Ob (western) detachment of the Second Kamchatka (Great Northern) Expedition. Together with A. Skuratov, he undertook a hike on two bots from Dolgo Island (at the entrance to the Khaypudyr Bay of the Barents Sea) through the strait. Yugorsky Balloon to the lower reaches of the Kara River, where heavy ice stopped ships for the winter. In the summer of the following year, the boats passed from Kara to the mouth of the Ob River through the Strait (Malygina) between Yamal Peninsula and Bely Island, guided by coastal lighthouses set up by geodesist V. Selifontov.

Selifontov.
As a result of this voyage, the coasts of Eurasia from Pechora to Ob were described and their map was compiled. In the spring of 1738, S. Malygin returned to St. Petersburg. In 1738−1761, he served in the Baltic, then in the Caspian Sea (1762−1764). Malygin is the author of the first navigation manual in Russian, which was published in 1733.
Malygin’s name is given to a bank off the coast of Laptev Island and a cape on Bely Island (Kara Sea), as well as an icebreaking steamer.
The icebreaking steamer was acquired by Russia from England at the beginning of the First World War and was named "Bruce", after which it was renamed "Solovey Budimirovich". He participated in the transportation of military supplies from the Allies from the Kola Bay to the port of Arkhangelsk.
In 1920, the icebreaking steamer Solovey Budimirovich participated in the Siberian grain sea expedition. In 1921, the ship was renamed in honor of one of the first explorers of the North, S. G. Malygin, and began to be used for scientific purposes.
The first expedition to the Barents and Kara Seas of the Floating Marine Scientific Institute (Plavmornin) was led by I. I. Mesyatsev. The expedition included 32 researchers of various specialties. Several laboratories were equipped on the ship.
The expedition sailed for 47 days (from August 11 to September 27) and covered about 3,000 miles. During the voyage, 60 integrated oceanographic stations were completed. On the way back, the ship joined the caravan of the Kara maritime commodity exchange expedition. On September 17, the steamship Malygin took on board the bulk of the cargo from the lost steamship Ob in the ice and rescued its crew.
Plavnormin's further expeditionary activities were carried out on the Perseus research and expedition vessel. And the steamship Malygin took part in the rescue operation of the U. Nobile expedition in high latitudes in the summer of 1928 under the command of Captain D. T. Chertkov, for which he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor. In the 1930s, Malygin hosted an expedition to explore the Franz Josef Land archipelago. In 1937−1938, the steamer was frozen by ice and drifted in heavy ice for almost a whole year. In 1940, en route to Vladivostok from Providence Bay, the steamer hit the epicenter of a hurricane and sank with all crew and passengers off the coast of Kamchatka on October 7.
In 1971, a research vessel in Finland Named "Stepan Malygin" by the Russian Academy of Sciences.
In Tyumen, at the beginning of the 20th century, blacksmiths settled on the even side of the former Siberian Highway, which ran on the site of modern Republic Street. This is how the village, called the Smithy, appeared. And later, five Kuznechny streets were formed.
On October 17, 1940, at a meeting of the Executive Committee of the City Council of Workers' Deputies, 5th Kuznechnaya Street was renamed Malygin Street, in honor of Stepan Malygin, a researcher of the Russian north, a scientist and navigator.
From the end of the 19th century until the middle of the 20th century, the territory of modern Malygin Street was occupied by the so-called Kopylov sheds. In fact, these were good-quality houses of peasants from nearby villages, including those from the Priiset region. The private sector consisted mainly of unauthorized construction. Most of them did not come to the city from a good life, so there was a lot of crime in the area. Most of the people worked at the nearby Machine Tool factory and brick production.
