Street
(Mostovaya until 1966)
The first small-scale tanneries, for which there were necessary raw materials in the area, namely water, willow and alder bark, and labor, were formed in the 17th century. Most of these activities were of a family nature. Pottery production has also spread here, as well as glue-making, oil-fired, soap-making artisanal workshops.
To process animal skins, a lot of water was needed, so the craftsmen most often settled in the district, where a tannery settlement was formed at the end of the first third of the XVIII century. The census of artisans in 1720 showed that 23 artisanal tanneries operated in Tyumen.
In 1810, the first large leather manufactory appeared in Tyumen, which was set up in the district by merchant I. Reshetnikov. For a long time it was considered the largest enterprise in the region, but half a century later the Kolmogorov brothers surpassed this record by building a tannery, which became one of the largest not only in Siberia, but also in Russia.
By the decision of the Soviet authorities in 1922, the Gubernatorial State Farm established the Kozhmekhzavod association of tanneries. A new sheepskin and fur coat factory was built on the basis of the warehouses of the former tannery. In 2008, after experiencing difficult economic challenges, the factory closed.
Shcherbakov Street, which originates from the first wooden bridge over the Tura River, became the main thoroughfare of the Zarechny district. The street was originally called Mostovaya until 1966, when the Tyumen City Executive Committee named it after Fyodor Vasilyevich Shcherbakov, a senior police sergeant in Tyumen who died in the line of duty. This Zarechnaya highway is one of the unique strands of history, linking together the past, present and future.
The street begins where the ferry pier was located, and later the floating bridge over the Tura. In the riverine part, the street is decorated with old houses in elegant wooden decor.

F. V. Shcherbakov, a native of the village of Guselnikov, Tyumen District, the son of a poor peasant, began his career as a state farm worker, then served in the army from 1937 to October 1940. On June 26, 1941, on the fourth day of the Great Patriotic War, he picked up a rifle again and defended his homeland on the Karelo-Finnish front until Victory Day.
Our countryman proved himself in the battles with the Nazi invaders as a fearless warrior, as evidenced by military awards: medals "For Courage", "For the defense of the Soviet Arctic".
Having been demobilized in April 1946, Fyodor Vasilyevich joined the difficult militia service. And he swore an oath to the Motherland: to take all measures to protect law and order and public safety, to stop all criminal acts, and to be ready to help every citizen… He was faithful to this promise all his life.
Fyodor Vasilyevich served as a district policeman in the ranks of the Tyumen police. At that time, the police were not mechanized, and the precinct officers walked around their territories. Zarechye is a difficult area. A lot of "bad people" have lived here for a long time. Shcherbakov was an excellent policeman. During his ten years of service, he received 15 commendations from the leadership, twice his name was put on the Honor Roll, and in peacetime, as a district policeman, he received the medal "For Military Merit."
Fyodor Vasilyevich died on July 1, 1956 at the tannery Kaganovich, which was located on Zemlyanoy Val Street.

There was an extensive excavation pit behind the factory workshops, where the waste from the leather industry was drained. Three women were sent there to do some work. Apparently, the pit was filled with poisonous gas, because after going downstairs, the women lost consciousness and fell. Someone started calling for help. Senior police sergeant Fyodor Shcherbakov ran out of the entrance and rushed to help. However, the poisonous gas did not spare him either.
No one else climbed into the excavation. The fire department was called. One of them, Fyodor Zalipuga, "showed dedication and bravery" and brought the bodies ashore. He was "thanked and given a valuable gift." About this on July 8, 1956. Tyumenskaya Pravda reported in the article "Selfless act". It doesn’t say a word about where it happened, not a word about Shcherbakov. It was a time when the details were hushed up so as not to alarm the population.
Nevertheless, the event at the plant named after Kaganovich case was widely publicized in Tyumen. On the recommendation of the regional Department of Internal Affairs, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, by decree of September 22, 1956, awarded F.V. Shcherbakov the Order of the Red Star posthumously "for heroism and self-sacrifice in the line of duty."
In the lobby of the building of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Tyumen Region administration, at 24 Volodarsky St., there are memorial plaques on which the names of policemen who died in the line of duty are carved. There is also the surname Shcherbakova. In June 1966, the Tyumen City Executive Committee renamed Mostovaya Street to Shcherbakova Street.
