Victory Day Parade Street
Unnamed objects of the street and road network in the Leninsky Administrative District were named Victory Parade Street and Heroes of the Battle of Stalingrad Street in 2007. Both streets are located on the banks of the Tura River, in the area of the old village of Mysovkaya…
In the 1960s, the Kurbatov-Ignatov Partnership established the construction of steamships in the village of Mysovskaya, which was called the Zhabyn Mechanical and Iron Foundry. Ustin Savvich Kurbatov, the co-owner of the plant, was a major steamship owner on the Kama River. The Zhabyn Kurbatov-Ignatov Shipyard, together with the Pearson and Gullet shipbuilding plants, became the main suppliers of new steamships for Western Siberia. In 1844−1917, about a third of the steam fleet of the Ob-Irtysh basin came off the stocks of these Tyumen enterprises. The Zhabynsky plant has produced 58 steamships. At the same time, the largest and richest shipping company turned out to be the owner of the most powerful steamships.
Otto Finsch, director of the Natural History and Ethnography Museum in Bremen, Alfred Bram, author of Animal Life, and Count Karl von Waldburg-Zeil visited the factory. Admiral S.O. Makarov, a well-known naval scientist, visited the Zhabynsky Plant on his way through Siberia. According to the latter, he "… never expected to find such an exemplary mechanical and shipbuilding plant in Siberia."
At the beginning of the twentieth century, I.I. Ignatov leased the plant to an Englishman, Thomas Egorovich Yates, who first became the plant’s manager and then co-owner. F.E. Yates managed the plant until the nationalization.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Tyumen continued to be the center of ship repair and shipbuilding in the Ob-Irtysh basin. The Zhabynsky Plant was the largest machine-building plant in Siberia. The company employed from 300 to 500 workers.
In the autumn of 1941, many shipbuilding factories from Moscow, Leningrad, various regions of Ukraine and a number of other cities were evacuated to Tyumen. All these enterprises were united on the basis of the Tyumen shipyard. In December 1941, the association was given the name Tyumen Plant No. 639 of the People’s Commissariat of the Shipbuilding Industry. By that time, only 977 people worked at the plant, which was less than half of the staff. By 1945, the number of employees had grown almost 2.5 times, and amounted to 2,400 people.
By the end of 1941, the workers had built the first 16 torpedo boats, which were originally supposed to be tested on the Ture River. However, this option had to be abandoned. The boats were loaded onto railway platforms and sent to the Perm region, to the Kama River. Sea trials were conducted there, and after their completion, the boats were sent to the front.
After launching the lead boat of project 123, the Design Bureau of Shipbuilding Plant No. 639 began to finalize the project. In 1942, the project was improved by F.L. Liventsev’s group at TSKB-32. The anti-aircraft armament was significantly strengthened, instead of one DShK machine gun, four were installed in two twin installations. In November 1943, the fleet received a new design for boats of the Komsomolets type, designated 123bis. Until the end During the Second World War, 31 Project 123 bis boats descended from the stocks of Tyumen Plant No. 639, all of them equipped with more powerful 1200-horsepower Packard 4M-2500 aircraft engines supplied under Lend-Lease.
In the post-war period, the Komsomolets-type boat project was finalized 2 more times, and in 1946−1953, 205 more Komsomolets torpedo boats with Soviet M-50 diesels from Mintransmash plant No. 800 came off the stocks of the Feodosia Shipbuilding Plant No. 831.
This was the end of the serial construction of small torpedo boats in the USSR. Since 1952, the USSR has transferred 56 Project 123-K boats to China. Other allied countries of the USSR received the same boats. In 2018, a monument to the torpedo boat was erected in the Peter Potapov Square.
The Tyumen Ship Repair Plant was established. In the post-war period, the Tyumen shipyard had 44 units of project 732 steamships, a passenger fleet of 14 units, a diesel self-propelled fleet of 40 units, including 2 tankers and 2 refrigerated vessels, and 8 units of tugboats of the service and traveling fleet. The plant was privatized.
Currently, the plant’s workshops have been demolished, and a new residential complex is being built in their place.
The history of the monument in the courtyard of school No. 48, which is located here in the village of Shipbuilders, began half a century ago, when the ship General Karbyshev was built at the shipyard.
Almost all the parents of the students worked at the factory, and naturally, the children were interested in why and after whom the ship was named. The deeper we delved into the topic, the more we became imbued with the scale of Dmitry Mikhailovich Karbyshev’s personality. The school joined the Karbyshev youth movement. They created a school museum, corresponded with General Elena Dmitrievna’s daughter, and met with his grandson.
The idea to erect a monument came to activists of the pioneer and Komsomol organizations. The students collected the money themselves — they worked at the harvest in Embaevo, handed over waste paper and scrap metal. My parents also helped. A block of gray granite was brought from the Urals, and sculptor Viktor Murashov was invited. The monument was opened on May 9, 1970.
Dmitry Mikhailovich Karbyshev was born on October 14, 1880 in Omsk, a lieutenant General of the Engineering Forces, professor at the Military Academy of the General Staff, Doctor of Military Sciences…
The outstanding engineer Karbyshev, in particular, supervised the fortification work to improve the citadel of the Brest Fortress. The Great Patriotic War found him at the headquarters of the 3rd Army of the Western Special Military District in the city of Grodno, where he was seconded. Two days later, he moved to the headquarters of the 10th Army. On June 27, the army headquarters was surrounded. On August 8, 1941, while trying to escape from the encirclement, General Karbyshev was severely concussed in battle near the village of Dobreika in the Mogilev region of Belarus. He was captured in an unconscious state.
Karbyshev was held in German concentration camps: Zamość, Hammelburg, Flossenbürg, Majdanek, Auschwitz, Sachsenhausen and Mauthausen. I have repeatedly received offers from the camp administration to cooperate. Despite his age, he was one of the active leaders of the camp resistance movement. On the night of February 18, 1945, in the Mauthausen concentration camp (Austria), among other prisoners (about 500 people), he was doused with water in the cold and died. He became a symbol of indomitable will and perseverance.
In Tyumen, a bust of the Lieutenant General and a monument were erected on the territory of TVVIK. The hero’s name is given to a square and one of the streets of the city.
On June 23, 1941, a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on mobilization appeared in the newspapers. Thousands of volunteers came to the military enlistment offices. On the first day of the war, about 500 applications were submitted in Tyumen with a request to be sent to the front. In total, over 11,000 Tyumen residents went to the front during the war years. The 6th Anti-tank Fighter Brigade, the 65th Infantry Division (renamed the 102nd Guards), and the 368th Infantry Division were formed in Tyumen. (Krasnoznamenskaya, also known as Pechenga); 229th Infantry Division (surrounded on the Don, almost all the soldiers died or were captured); 7th Anti-tank Division (later 9th Brigade); 175th (444th) (2nd formation) Uralsko-Kovel Red Banner Infantry Division; 8th Anti-tank Fighter — 30th Separate Red Banner Kaluga Anti-tank Fighter.
Over 50,000 Tyumen residents gave their lives in defense of their homeland, one in ten of them died in the Battle of Stalingrad. Up to 10,000 natives of the Tyumen region, including Yamal, were captured by the Nazis.
More than 70,000 have been awarded military medals and orders for their military exploits, 90 of them are Heroes of the Soviet Union. During the Great Patriotic War, 11,752 people were mobilized from Tyumen. Of these, 3,269 died in battle, 2,232 were missing, 562 died of wounds in hospitals, and 23 soldiers died in captivity.
After the end of the war, 5,523 people returned to the city from the front.
7 Tyumen residents participated in the Victory Day Parade on the Red Square of the capital, which took place on June 24, 1945.
The parade was supposed to be the final chord of the celebration of the end of the war. The combined regiments of all 10 fronts were invited to participate in the parade. The number of participants reached 10 thousand people, who most distinguished themselves during the war.
The parade regiments lined up on Red Square and the streets adjacent to it, at 10 o’clock the Kremlin chimes thundered. Marshal Georgy Zhukov, who is hosting the parade, rode out of the Spassky Gate of the Kremlin on a white horse. The report was given to him by Marshal of the Soviet Union Konstantin Rokossovsky, commander of the parade. After circling the troops, Zhukov went up to the podium of Lenin’s mausoleum, where Supreme Commander Joseph Stalin and members of the government were, made a speech and congratulated them on the Great Victory. After the anthem, artillery fireworks rang out…
Especially impressive was the moment when the banners of the defeated fascist units were thrown against the Kremlin wall.
