City of Gavrilov-Yam In historical documents, the village of Gavrilovo was mentioned for the first time in 1545. The village was owned by the Trinity-Sergius Monastery - the largest feudal lord of medieval Rus'. 35 years later, in 1580, in a historical document containing a decree on behalf of Tsar Ivan the Terrible, the village of Gavrilovo was named Gavrilovsky Yam. Many different legends and stories are associated with the origin of Gavrilov-Yam. Most agree that in ancient times a savvy man named Gavrila came here. He was surprised by the beauty of these places, the abundance of fish in the river and decided to stay here forever. With peasant tenacity, the remote region began to settle, and the name of the village of Gavrilovo came from its name.

Another version is related to the terrain: a hole is a depression. The city is located in relation to the surrounding villages, as if in a depression. Also, the second part of the city’s name “Yam” may be associated with the Yamsk duty carried out by its residents, which was carried out in monetary terms, or with the supply of horses.

Later, Gavrilovsky Yam became known as Gavrilov-Yamskaya Sloboda.

The 18th century was marked by “stone” construction. There was especially large construction in Velikiy, churches were erected in Vysheslavsky (1724), Smalev (1754), Yutsky (1775), Ostrov (1782), Osenev (1787), Stepanchikovo (1789), Unimeri (1789), Nikitsky (1789), Nikolo-Penya (1792), Gavrilov-Yame (1792), Stoginsky (1794), Stavotin (1796), Lakhosti (1796), Ilyinsky-Urusov (1798).

By the middle of 1800, “Velikoye had 620 households and was the largest trading and factory village in the province.” In Gavrilov-Yama at that time there were 19 households, and together with the villages of Petrunino, Romantsevo, Ostashkino, Beli, Dvuhdvorishche, settlements Gagarinskaya and Fedorovskaya assigned to the village, there were 89 households with a population of 619 people of both sexes.

The first Soviet People's Commissar A.V. Lunacharsky, who visited Velikoye and Gavrilov-Yamskaya Sloboda, shared his impressions: “From the lovely green Rostov with its Kremlin, full of examples of church construction of the golden era, I headed to the Lokalovskaya manufactory, about 30 versts from there. The road partly goes through huge, city-like villages so typical for this strip: the village of Velikoye - 12 thousand inhabitants. The settlement of Lokalovo itself has 15 thousand inhabitants, and usually about 5 thousand inhabitants work at the manufactory.”

On August 5, 1922, the presidium of the Yaroslavl provincial executive committee decided to equate the following villages with urban-type settlements: Velikoye, Gavrilov-Yamsky Posad, Gagarinsky village.

By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR dated December 26, 1938, the working village of Gavrilov-Yam was transformed into the city of Gavrilov-Yam.

The growth of the city of Gavrilov-Yam is primarily associated with the activities of the flax mill, which is a city-forming enterprise. Various settlements arose around the factory, which then merged into a single center.

Velikoye village glorified the Yaroslavl land with linen, folk crafts, business exhibitions, noisy fairs, and abundantly fruit-bearing gardens. This is where the fishing cooperation of our region was born. The village of Velikoye is fraught with amazing, largely unknown information about the history of Yaroslavl, about the people, their spiritual and material culture. This unique historical and architectural monument is associated with the names of outstanding people of our Fatherland. The Great was visited by Moscow Prince M. Temny and Tsar M. Romanov. Peter I stayed in Velikiy. N.A. Nekrasov often visited here. Velikoye is the birthplace of many noble people of Russia.

History of Gavrilov-Yam

The first mention of a settlement on the site of modern Gavrilov-Yam dates back to 1545. Then it was a small village of Gavrilovo, in which there were only 7 courtyards and it belonged to the Trinity-Sergius Varnitsky Monastery. At the end of the 16th century, by decree of Tsar Ivan the Terrible, the village was renamed Gavrilovsky Yam, later - to Gavrilov-Yamskaya Sloboda, and at the end of the 18th century, in connection with the construction of a stone church - to the village of Gavrilov-Yam.

The origin of the city's name has several versions. According to the main one, there was once a pit here - a postal route station, where riding horses were kept, and carts were repaired and harnesses were repaired. This version seems plausible, since Gavrilov-Yam was located not far from the Rostov-Suzdal highway, through which there were routes from Moscow to Kostroma, Suzdal, Arkhangelsk, Vologda and back.

The development of the city was significantly influenced by the nearby village of Velikoye - at one time the largest village in the Yaroslavl region, where there were four stone churches and large fairs were held annually. The militia of Minin and Pozharsky stopped here to rest, and even the Russian Emperor Peter I visited. At the end of the 19th century, the Velikoselsky merchant Alexey Lokalov opened a textile manufactory in Gavrilov-Yama, which quickly became one of the best in the country, which led to the active growth of a small at that time sat down.

In 1922, Gavrilov-Yam received the status of a workers' village, and in 1938 - a city. In Soviet times, it was famous for its flax production, but in 2013 the flax mill went bankrupt. Today, only the coat of arms adopted in 2008 reminds us of the city’s weaving past. It depicts a harness as a symbol of the settlement of coachmen and rhombuses as a symbol of weaving shuttles.

Today, the largest enterprise in the city is the Agat machine-building plant, which produces parts for aircraft engines, as well as consumer goods. In addition, the city administration is developing the Gavrilov-Yam - Velikoye tourist route, which is visited by several thousand people annually.

Attractions Gavrilov-Yama

The development of tourism in Gavrilov-Yam is carried out under the brand “Country of the Coachman”, therefore coachman museum can safely be called the main attraction of the city. It is located in the former outbuilding of the merchant Lokalov of the 19th century. A large collection of horse-drawn vehicles is presented here: sleighs, sledges, drags, as well as items from a coachman's everyday life. And, of course, guests can buy themselves a horseshoe for good luck.

A relatively new exhibition in Gavrilov-Yam, but extremely interesting. It is dedicated to local flax production, which was famous throughout Russia. Here you can see unique tablecloths woven for the royal palace and the leadership of the USSR. Also in the museum, the “closet” - the room where the workers of the linen manufactory lived - and the office of the manager, merchant Lokalov, were recreated.

Another interesting place - Museum of Peasant Life "Maryushka". This is the private collection of Nina Fedorovna Brondikova, she also meets guests and conducts excursions. Various peasant utensils, the purpose of which is not always clear to modern people, are collected here, as well as many creations of local needlewomen.

Gavrilov-Yama invites you to take a closer look at the history local history museum. There are several exhibitions here that tell about different aspects of the life of the city: flora and fauna, historical finds, wartime, economy and industry, and local crafts. Particular attention is paid to household items of the 19th-20th centuries.

Among the architectural sights, Gavrilov-Yama deserves attention. It was built at the end of the 19th century at the expense of parishioners; subsequently additional chapels were added to it, which explains its unusual appearance. During Soviet times, the temple was closed and was handed over to believers only in 1990. Its restoration is currently ongoing.

Among the modern attractions of the city is interesting pottery workshop "Gardens of Aurika", where products for gardening and indoor floriculture are made. Excursions to the production are also organized, where you can see modern kilns and even take part in a master class on making clay dishes. It is also suggested to visit the workshop’s company store and purchase something as a souvenir.

Just seven kilometers from Gavrilov-Yam is the famous Velikoye village with a much more colorful history and architecture than the neighboring city. It's definitely worth a visit. The most famous local landmark is Velikoselsky Kremlin. This is the name of the complex of the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary and the Intercession of the Virgin Mary, a seven-tier bell tower and a stone fence with chapels in the corners that protected them. The construction of the “Kremlin” was started by Peter I’s associate Anikita Repnin, to whom the village of Velikoye was granted in honor of the victory over the Swedes. The Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary has been perfectly preserved to this day, but the Church of the Intercession of the Virgin Mary suffered greatly during Soviet times. Next to the Kremlin there is a panel “Battle of Poltava” - a copy of the famous mosaic by Mikhail Lomonosov.

Another one church - Bogolyubskaya- was built in Velikiy in the middle of the 19th century with money from church warden M. Krasheninnikov, parishioners and donors. This cemetery church was closed during Soviet times and the interior decoration was lost. In 1992, it was returned to believers, restored and repaired.

In the center of the village there are two natural reservoirs - Black and White Ponds. It is believed that the first of them got its name thanks to blacksmiths who poured all their production waste into it, which is why the water in it had a dark color. The second pond remained clean, that is, White. In the 19th century, the Black Pond was cleaned, and in the 20th century both reservoirs were recognized as natural monuments. By the way, it is from the side of the ponds that the most beautiful view of the Velikoselsky Kremlin opens.

Perhaps the most striking attraction of the village of Velikoye is house of the merchant Lokalov, built at the end of the 19th century. It is stylized as a traditional Russian tower with a spire and weather vane. The inside of the building is also very beautiful: a white marble staircase leads to the second floor, the ceilings are decorated with paintings and stucco, and there is even a unique grotto room, the only one in the world. Today the building is recognized as a cultural heritage site and houses a local orphanage.

You can get to know the bright and unusual history of the village of Velikoye at the local local history museum. There are exhibitions dedicated to merchant life, local crafts, the Great Patriotic War, as well as a collection of household items for village residents of the 19th-20th centuries.

Another interesting place in the village of Velikoy - school museum "Sviatelka". It represents a stylized room in a merchant's house, where the housewife traditionally did needlework: spinning, weaving or embroidering. The museum offers both excursions and master classes: guests can try their hand at working with yarn. There are also interactive programs that make you feel like you are participating in fair festivities or a local wedding ceremony.

The newest local museum is Potato Riot Museum. Nowadays, potatoes are a vegetable familiar to Russians, but at the beginning of the 19th century, residents of the Russian Empire flatly refused to grow an overseas plant. This is exactly what the museum exposition tells about, as well as about a native of the village, Efim Karnovich, who was one of the first in Russia to cultivate potatoes. On the ground floor of the museum there is a cafe where you can try a variety of potato dishes.

History of the city's coat of arms

However, you can’t call it a famous place. The former Yamskaya settlement from the time of Ivan the Terrible now exists as a depressed regional center, lost among deserted villages, fields and meadows along the banks of the Kotorosl winding through the plain. Time turned Gavrilov-Yam either into an ordinary village or into a workers’ settlement at a factory; as a result, over the four centuries of its existence, no striking attractions have accumulated here.

Travelers are usually interested in the village of Velikoye, which is 4 km from Gavrilov-Yam, and its Velikoselsky Kremlin. And the town is, as it were, an appendage, still along the way. To a transit guest, Gavrilov-Yam appears to be a completely typical cluster of Soviet five-story buildings and inevitably cute, as in the entire Yaroslavl region, village houses with carved platbands. Connoisseurs will see more: firstly, several monuments of provincial wooden Art Nouveau, and secondly, a complex of buildings of the early 20th century associated with the spinning and weaving manufactory of the merchant Lokalov. Factory buildings, dormitories, an almshouse for workers (which became the city House of Culture), an administrative building (now the House of Children's Creativity), the People's House and the oldest city stadium in the region, built by the local sports club "Chaika" with the support of the owners of the manufactory in 1912. All this is a genuine part of the history of the city, accompanied by colorful stories from old-timers - for example, that before the revolution even several Englishmen played football in the Chaika club.

Once a city-forming enterprise, the Lokalovskaya spinning and weaving manufactory was equipped by the owners with the latest technology and produced first-class linen products. Even Comrade Lunacharsky, who visited here in 1919, noted that the working class received it from the exploiting owners in exemplary condition. Today, as you might guess, the factory is idle. The last hope for Gavrilov-Yam flashed when the flax mill was acquired by Oleg Deripaska. By that time, the oligarch had already bought the famous Moscow “Trekhgorka” in order to launch the construction of elite housing on its site, a stone’s throw from the White House, and he promised to transfer fabric production to Gavrilov-Yam. But Trekhgorka closed, and the Gavrilov-Yamsky plant never started working. Therefore, the famous local flax, forever imprinted on the city coat of arms along with the bow from the coachman's troika, can no longer be bought here.

To cope with the surging sadness, visiting not so significant, but completely authentic local attractions will help. These include a MiG-23 aircraft standing on a pedestal at the entrance to the Agat engineering plant, a fancy rusty mechanism with large gears for draining water on a pond, and a Soviet-era city sculpture. The brutal “Swimmer” in the meadow near the Bechevka River and “Pioneers” at the entrance to the Tekstilshchik park - as usual, both compositions are painted with cemetery silver and are missing arms.

And finally, the city’s “wild card”: the Museum of the coachman Gavrila. Gavrilov-Yam is Gavrila’s coachman, everything is logical. The creation of this character, which claims to be a city brand, is the fruit of Gavrilov-Yam’s progressive desire to develop tourism. For these purposes, one of the outbuildings of the merchant Lokalov - a glacier - was covered with boards, with the participation of a Finnish artist it was stylized as a pit carriage, and all sorts of horse and household utensils of the pre-automobile period were hung inside. It turned out simple, but quite soulful.

Story

During the 16th-18th centuries, the village changed its name and status several times: village Gavrilovsky Yam(decree of 1580 on behalf of Tsar Ivan the Terrible), Gavrilov-Yamskaya Sloboda, village Gavrilov-Yam(after the construction of the church at the end of the 18th century). In the early 1870s, local merchant Alexey Vasilyevich Lokalov from the village of Velikoye opened a textile manufactory in the village, which ensured the rapid growth of the small village at that time.

origin of name

It is believed that the village got its name from the coachman Gavrila. In any case, the first part of the city's name is undoubtedly associated with a man's name Gavrila.

origin of name Yam has several versions. According to one, almost official, there was once here yam- a station on the postal route where racing pit horses were kept. According to another version, the name is due to the fact that the settlement is located in a lower place in relation to the surrounding territory. Third origin option least plausible, but most poetic, [ ] states that “in the languages of the peoples who inhabited this corner of Rus', the word Yam had several meanings, including beauty, landscape, picturesque place”; this meaning of the word actually exists in the Tatar and Mari languages.

Coachman Museum

The museum opened on August 20, 2005. In the museum's collection: arches, bells, sleighs, harnesses, household utensils, etc. In the museum you can not only find out who the coachmen were and what they did, but also ride horses, and if you want, see how to shoe a horse correctly need to.

Administrative center: Yaroslavl
Cities: Gavrilov-Yam Danilov We love you Myshkin Pereslavl-Zalessky Poshekhonye Rostov Rybinsk Uglich Yaroslavl

Municipal-territorial division:

Urban districts: Pereslavl-Zalessky Rybinsk Yaroslavl
Districts: Bolsheselsky Borisoglebsky Breitovsky Gavrilov-Yamsky Danilovsky Lyubimsky Myshkinsky Nekouzsky Nekrasovsky Pervomaisky Pereslavsky Poshekhonsky | Petya soon came to his senses, the color returned to his face, the pain went away, and for this temporary trouble he received a place on the cannon, from which he hoped to see the sovereign who was about to return. Petya no longer thought about submitting a petition. If only he could see him, he would consider himself happy!
During the service in the Assumption Cathedral - a combined prayer service on the occasion of the arrival of the sovereign and a prayer of thanks for the conclusion of peace with the Turks - the crowd spread out; Shouting sellers of kvass, gingerbread, and poppy seeds appeared, which Petya was especially keen on, and ordinary conversations could be heard. One merchant's wife showed her torn shawl and said how expensive it was bought; another said that nowadays all silk fabrics have become expensive. The sexton, Petya’s savior, was talking with the official about who and who was serving with the Reverend today. The sexton repeated the word soborne several times, which Petya did not understand. Two young tradesmen joked with the courtyard girls gnawing nuts. All these conversations, especially jokes with girls, which had a special attraction for Petya at his age, all these conversations did not interest Petya now; ou sat on his gun dais, still worried at the thought of the sovereign and his love for him. The coincidence of the feeling of pain and fear when he was squeezed with a feeling of delight further strengthened in him the awareness of the importance of this moment.
Suddenly, cannon shots were heard from the embankment (they were firing to commemorate peace with the Turks), and the crowd quickly rushed to the embankment to watch them shoot. Petya also wanted to run there, but the sexton, who had taken the little bark under his protection, did not let him in. The shots still continued when officers, generals, and chamberlains ran out of the Assumption Cathedral, then others came out not so hastily, the caps were taken off their heads again, and those who had run away to look at the cannons ran back. Finally, four more men in uniforms and ribbons emerged from the cathedral doors. "Hooray! Hooray! – the crowd shouted again.
- Which? Which? - Petya asked around him in a crying voice, but no one answered him; everyone was too carried away, and Petya, choosing one of these four faces, whom he could not clearly see because of the tears that had come into his eyes with joy, concentrated all his delight on him, although it was not the sovereign, shouted “Hurray! in a frantic voice and decided that tomorrow, no matter what it cost him, he would be a military man.
The crowd ran after the sovereign, accompanied him to the palace and began to disperse. It was already late, and Petya had not eaten anything, and sweat poured from him like hail; but he did not go home and, together with a diminished, but still quite large crowd, stood in front of the palace, during the sovereign’s dinner, looking out the palace windows, expecting something else and equally envying the dignitaries who were driving up to the porch - for the sovereign’s dinner, and the chamber lackeys who served at the table and flashed through the windows.
At the sovereign’s dinner, Valuev said, looking out the window:
“The people still hope to see your Majesty.”
Lunch was already over, the sovereign got up and, finishing his biscuit, went out onto the balcony. The people, with Petya in the middle, rushed to the balcony.
-Angel, father! Hurray, father!.. - the people and Petya shouted, and again the women and some weaker men, including Petya, began to cry with happiness. A rather large piece of the biscuit, which the sovereign was holding in his hand, broke off and fell onto the railing of the balcony, from the railing to the ground. The driver standing closest to him in his undershirt rushed to this piece of biscuit and grabbed it. Some of the crowd rushed to the coachman. Noticing this, the sovereign ordered a plate of biscuits to be served and began throwing biscuits from the balcony. Petya's eyes became bloodshot, the danger of being crushed excited him even more, he threw himself on the biscuits. He didn’t know why, but he had to take one biscuit from the king’s hands, and he had to not give in. He rushed and knocked down an old woman who was catching a biscuit. But the old woman did not consider herself defeated, although she was lying on the ground (the old woman was catching the biscuits and did not get them with her hands). Petya knocked her hand away with his knee, grabbed the biscuit and, as if afraid of being late, again shouted “Hurray!”, in a hoarse voice.
The Emperor left, and after that most of the people began to disperse.
“I said that we would have to wait a little longer, and so it happened,” people said joyfully from different sides.
No matter how happy Petya was, he was still sad to go home and know that all the pleasure of that day was over. From the Kremlin, Petya did not go home, but to his comrade Obolensky, who was fifteen years old and who also joined the regiment. Returning home, he resolutely and firmly announced that if they didn’t let him in, he would run away. And the next day, although he had not yet completely given up, Count Ilya Andreich went to find out how to settle Petya somewhere safer.

On the morning of the 15th, the third day after this, countless carriages stood at the Slobodsky Palace.
The halls were full. In the first there were noblemen in uniforms, in the second there were merchants with medals, beards and blue caftans. There was a hum and movement throughout the hall of the Noble Assembly. At one large table, under the portrait of the sovereign, the most important nobles sat on chairs with high backs; but most of the nobles walked around the hall.
All the nobles, the same ones whom Pierre saw every day, either in the club or in their houses, were all in uniforms, some in Catherine’s, some in Pavlov’s, some in the new Alexander, some in the general noble, and this general character of the uniform gave something strange and fantastic to these old and young, the most diverse and familiar faces. Particularly striking were the old people, low-sighted, toothless, bald, covered in yellow fat or wrinkled and thin. For the most part, they sat in their seats and were silent, and if they walked and talked, they joined someone younger. Just like on the faces of the crowd that Petya saw in the square, on all these faces there was a striking feature of the opposite: a general expectation of something solemn and ordinary, yesterday - the Boston party, Petrushka the cook, Zinaida Dmitrievna’s health, etc.
Pierre, who had been wearing an awkward nobleman's uniform that had become too tight for him since early morning, was in the halls. He was excited: the extraordinary gathering of not only the nobility, but also the merchants - the estates, etats generaux - evoked in him a whole series of thoughts that had long been abandoned, but were deeply etched in his soul about the Contrat social [Social Contract] and the French Revolution. The words he noticed in the appeal that the sovereign would arrive in the capital to confer with his people confirmed him in this view. And he, believing that in this sense something important was approaching, something that he had been waiting for a long time, walked around, looked closely, listened to the conversation, but nowhere did he find the expression of the thoughts that occupied him.
The sovereign's manifesto was read, which caused delight, and then everyone scattered, talking. In addition to the usual interests, Pierre heard talk about where the leaders should stand when the sovereign enters, when to give a ball to the sovereign, whether to divide into districts or the entire province... etc.; but as soon as it came to the war and what the nobility was assembled for, the talk was indecisive and uncertain. Everyone was more willing to listen than to talk.
One middle-aged man, courageous, handsome, in a retired naval uniform, spoke in one of the halls, and people crowded around him. Pierre walked up to the circle that had formed around the talker and began to listen. Count Ilya Andreich in his Catherine, voivode's caftan, walking with a pleasant smile among the crowd, familiar with everyone, also approached this group and began to listen with his kind smile, as he always listened, nodding his head approvingly in agreement with the speaker. The retired sailor spoke very boldly; this was evident from the expressions of the faces listening to him, and from the fact that those known to Pierre as the most submissive and quiet people moved away from him disapprovingly or contradicted him. Pierre pushed his way into the middle of the circle, listened and became convinced that the speaker was indeed a liberal, but in a completely different sense than Pierre thought. The sailor spoke in that especially sonorous, melodious, noble baritone, with a pleasant grazing and reduction of consonants, in that voice with which one shouts: “Pipe, pipe!”, and the like. He spoke with a habit of revelry and authority in his voice.
- Well, the Smolensk people offered the militia to the gosuai. Is it a decree for us from Smolensk? If the bouard nobility of the Moscow province finds it necessary, they can show their devotion to the Emperor by other means. Have we forgotten the militia in the seventh year! The revelers and thieves have just made a profit...
Count Ilya Andreich, smiling sweetly, nodded his head approvingly.
– So, did our militias really benefit the state? No! They just ruined our farms. It’s better to have another set... otherwise neither a soldier nor a man will return to you, and only one debauchery. The nobles do not spare their belly, we ourselves will all go, take another recruit, and all of us just call the goose call (that’s how the sovereign pronounced it), we will all die for him,” the speaker added with animation.
Ilya Andreich swallowed his drool with pleasure and pushed Pierre, but Pierre also wanted to talk. He stepped forward, feeling animated, not yet knowing why and not yet knowing what he would say. He had just opened his mouth to speak when one senator, completely without teeth, with an intelligent and angry face, standing close to the speaker, interrupted Pierre. With a visible habit of leading debates and holding questions, he spoke quietly, but audibly:
“I believe, my dear sir,” said the senator, muttering his toothless mouth, “that we are not called here to discuss what is more convenient for the state at the present moment - recruitment or militia.” We are called to respond to the appeal with which the Emperor has honored us. And we will leave it to the highest authorities to judge what is more convenient - recruitment or militia...
Pierre suddenly found an outcome to his animation. He became bitter against the senator, who introduced this correctness and narrowness of views into the upcoming occupations of the nobility. Pierre stepped forward and stopped him. He himself did not know what he would say, but he began animatedly, occasionally bursting into French words and expressing himself bookishly in Russian.
“Excuse me, Your Excellency,” he began (Pierre was well acquainted with this senator, but considered it necessary to address him here officially), “although I do not agree with Mr.... (Pierre paused. He wanted to say mon tres honorable preopinant), [my dear opponent,] - with Mr.... que je n"ai pas L"honneur de connaitre; [whom I do not have the honor to know] but I believe that the class of nobility, in addition to expressing its sympathy and admiration, is also called upon to discuss the measures by which we can help the fatherland. I believe,” he said, inspired, “that the sovereign himself would be dissatisfied if he found in us only the owners of the peasants whom we give to him, and ... the chair a canon [fodder for guns] that we make of ourselves, but I wouldn’t find any co…co… advice in us.
