Walk along Inozemtsevo
You can start a walk around the village at the old houses Roschke(near the intersection of Shosseinaya and Sadovaya streets). Previously, the Tatar village of Karras was located on the site of Inozemtsevo. In 1801, at the behest of Emperor Alexander I, a group of Scots from the Bible Society of Edinburgh left here for missionary work. The Tsar's decree stated that European settlers should spread among the Caucasian mountaineers - Muslims and pagans - "hard work, crafts and Christianity." After 4 years, the missionaries were allocated land - 7,000 dessiatines. They worked hard, ransomed slaves, preached. After another 4 years, the Germans arrived in Karras and organized their own colony - Nikolaevskaya. They were engaged in gardening, grape growing, and cattle breeding.
House Roschke
The Germans brought the cultivation of tobacco, the production of quality cheeses, kefir and meat products to the culture of the Caucasian Mineral Waters. Skilled furniture makers, tanners and printers worked here. The holidaymakers flocked to these places, because in Karras there was a lot of greenery, cheap vegetables and fruits, flowers, and the territories of the households were neat in German.
The house, near which the walk along Inozemtsevo began, belonged to the foreman of the German colony Gottlieb Roschke. An enterprising German set up a cozy coffee shop in it. A.S. Pushkin, L.N. Tolstoy, M.I. Glinka, V.G. Belinsky. Roschke's coffee shop was the place where M.Yu. Lermontov before going to a duel with Martynov. The house is now privately owned. And they plan to open a museum there.
To the south along Shosseinaya Street is the Luch cinema. It occupies premises that were built in the former building of the church- Evangelical Lutheran Church of the colony. It was built by the architect Giuseppe-Marco Bernardazzi in 1840.
Across the crossroads from the cinema there is an Orthodox church of the beheading of John the Baptist(Svobody Avenue, 40), consecrated in 1999
Church of the Beheading of John the Baptist
From the church, Krupskaya street leads to the railway station "Inozemtsevo". To the west of the platform stands the former Inozemtsev's house, manager of the Rostov-Vladikavkaz railway. The last years of his life, already ill, Ivan Inozemtsev lived in the German colony Karras. And in 1913, a year after the death of Inozemtsev, the Karras station was renamed in his honor. There is a memorial plaque on this house, which is now the teacher's college.
House of Ivan Dmitrievich Inozemtsev
From the station along Vokzalnaya, Shosseynaya and Kolkhoznaya streets, you can go to the territory of the Mashuk Aqua-Therm sanatorium. It has a beautiful landscaped park. Another attraction of the sanatorium is a bronze enema monument.
Monument to the enema
The northern part of the sanatorium's territory covers the lands of the former cemetery of the German Nikolaev colony, a beautiful coniferous park and a small picturesque lake "Mashuk", with a gazebo in the middle.
Lake "Mashuk"
It is not far from here to the final point of the walk along Inozemtsevo - the entertainment complex and the water park " City of Sun". It was built near the fork of the federal highway E50 "Caucasus" (Nikolaevskaya St., 2). It has its own hotel, restaurants, bowling club "Piramira" and a huge water park. The City of the Sun opened its doors to visitors in 2009. The water park has 9 swimming pools and 12 different attractions. Here you can have a great and fun time and even have a snack in a summer cafe. Special pools and slides have been built for children, as well as professional animators with entertainment programs.
Aquapark "City of the Sun"
An urban-type settlement within the urban district The resort town of Zheleznovodsk, Stavropol Territory, the region of the Caucasian Mineral Waters.
The resident population is 27 502 people. (2018).
Located on the eastern slopes of Mount Beshtau. Railway platforms Beshtau, Inozemtsevo and Mashuk on the Mineralnye Vody - Kislovodsk branch.
It began in 1801, when a group of Scottish missionaries from the Edinburgh Bible Society arrived in the North Caucasus to spread Christianity among pagans and Muslims. At the foot of Mount Beshtau, they were allocated a plot of land with an area of 7000 acres, where the missionaries established a colony named Karras, after the name of the nearest aul (translated from Turkic - "black water"). Unable to establish the economy, in 1810 the Scots invited the German Evangelicals who lived in the Saratov province to help themselves, who very soon took a dominant position in the colony. In 1819, another group of immigrants from Germany founded the colony of Nikolaevka in the vicinity of Karras.
By the beginning of the 20th century, these were prosperous villages, where there was a school with instruction in German, breweries, tanneries, brick, limestone, dairy factories, as well as a bakery and two mills operated. The colonists grew a large amount of agricultural products, which were provided by the resort towns, primarily Zheleznovodsk.
In honor of I. D. Inozemtsev (1843–1913), the railway station was renamed in 1914.
In 1930, on the basis of both colonies, the collective farm "Soviet Plowman" was organized, which was later renamed the collective farm. K. Liebknecht. The brewery was transformed into a winery. In 1941, the German population of both colonies was deported to Kazakhstan, Siberia and the Urals. In 1959, the neighboring villages of Karras and Nikolaevka were combined into an urban-type settlement with the common name Inozemtsevo. On April 10, 1959, by the decision of the regional executive committee, it was transferred to the administrative subordination of Zheleznovodsk.
Ivan Dmitrievich Inozemtsev built roads in the North Caucasus and Ukraine. From 1880 he took the position of manager of the Rostov-Vladikavkaz railway (now the North Caucasian railway), where he served with honors until his retirement in the summer of 1908. In 1912, I. D. Inozemtsev was undergoing medical treatment in Moscow, where he died in 1913 and was buried at the Novodevichy cemetery.
In 1914, according to the will of the deceased, his ashes were transported to the Karras station. By this time, through the efforts of his wife, a house church was being built, a temple for the few inhabitants of the colony of the Orthodox faith. The lower floor of this building was the family chapel-burial vault. Here the ashes of I. D. Inozemtsev were placed.
In 1928, at the direction of the authorities, the remains of Ivan Dmitrievich were again reburied in the cemetery of the Karras colony, founded at the beginning of the 19th century by the local pioneers - missionaries from Scotland.
Caucasian Mineral Waters, then simply KMV, is certainly one of the most interesting places that I have seen. Not even by the number of attractions (although everything is fine with this), but by its structure: a scattering of lonely mountains (more precisely, 17) with a height of 700 to 1400 meters, oozing with mineral water, and on the plain between them there are 6 cities (resort Pyatigorsk , Essentuki, Zheleznovodsk, Kislovodsk, industrial Lermontov and transport Mineralnye Vody), several urban settlements (the most important - Inozemtsevo and Goryachevodsk), dozens of villages and farms, including Greek and Karachai. The cities here have a common symbol - the Eagle tormenting the snake, that is, the victory of health over ailments. An agglomeration with a population of millions, while inextricably linked with nature, is the real center of the North Caucasus, it is no coincidence that the administration of the federal district is located not in Stavropol (about which), but in Pyatigorsk.
Five days on the KMV was not enough, so my story will not be entirely complete - however, from 15-17 parts. In the first, we will examine the "gates" of the agglomeration, the city of Mineralnye Vody (76 thousand inhabitants) and the beginning of the railway connecting it together to the village of Inozemtsevo, in the second, we will pass through the stations from Zheleznovodsk to Kislovodsk.
One of the European trends, "brought" to Russia by Peter I, were resorts: it was necessary to deal with the first-priority problems - to create an industry, pile up the Swedes and go to the sea, as doctors and scientists left for all the boundaries of the Russian Empire to look for healing waters - the first of these finds of steel in Karelia. According to some reports, at the same time, in 1717, Peter's physician Gottlieb Schober visited the Ciscaucasia and discovered sources near today's Pyatigorsk. More reliable are the studies of Johann Guldenstedt, Peter Pallas and Fyodor Haas at the turn of the 18-19 centuries, when the Azov-Mozdok fortified line passed through the future CMW and Russia undertook to equip the region seriously and for a long time. The resort was officially established in 1802, and the demand for it appeared from the first years - initially, vacationers lived in kibitkas (Kalmyk yurts), set up at the springs in the summer season. In the 1820s-30s, 4 resort towns were formed, and during the time of Lermontov (1837-41), as you can learn from the same "Hero of Our Time", there was already a resort popular among the Petersburg world, worthy of some kind of Karlsbad.
Finally, in 1875, the Vladikavkaz railway passed nearby, near KavMinVod was the Sultanovskaya station, almost immediately renamed Mineralnye Vody: the road to the resorts began from it, and in 1893 a railway line was launched to Kislovodsk. The station settlement began to grow rapidly, in 1898 it received the name Illarionovsky, in 1922 it became the city of Mineralnye Vody
... This is how his station was:
Today in its place is a luxurious train station from the 1950s, which welcomes guests with a round colonnade with an eagle, captured in the opening shot. The station is unusually far from the tracks, in fact there is another square on this side:
View from the side of the city. In order to combat terrorism, you can enter the station only from this side, and exit - only to the eagle:
The turret at the top evokes associations with VDNKh:
But most of all I was impressed by the central hall under the dome with an abundance of stucco, stained glass and mosaics:
The main theme of the design is Caucasian landscapes, which emphasizes the role of the "gateway to the region":
Since terrorism is a threat to society, and the Caucasus is its main focus (local electric trains have been blown up more than once), I assumed that KMV would surpass everything that I had seen before in terms of photoparanoia. Well, it’s true: a young man with an unconventional appearance for these places comes into the station, takes a picture of him, and leaves without buying a ticket - in any part of Russia the watchman would be on his guard. But contrary to expectations, despite the huge number of guards, I photographed completely unhindered at all stations. I don’t know what it’s connected with - either with the abundance of holiday-makers ("kefirnikov", as they are called here), who are also not averse to being imprinted against the background of the station, or reality a terrorist threat, and therefore a better understanding that a camera is not a sign of an intruder.
Old houses in the vicinity of the station square - it serves as the historical center of the city:
Brown stalinka in the background - opposite the station:
But in general, Mineralnye Vody is a classic "city of railroad workers" that grew in late Soviet times (when the resorts were especially busy) and therefore looks very dull. Main streets with five-story buildings, groomed in a southern way, perpendicular to the railway:
And rare stalinkas like the post office:
And between them - a solid private sector against the background of Mount Zmeika (992m), or Zhlaktau - the 3rd highest of the 17 mountains of the KMV after Beshtau and Dzhutsa.
Almost in the geometric center of the city, not far from the stadium at the intersection of Stavropolskaya and Pyatigorskaya streets - Nikolskaya Staraya Church (1957), until 1997 called Pokrovskaya, apparently a bell was added at the same time. It's time for me to make a separate post on the churches of the Soviet era - so much material has accumulated about this phenomenon, and I found at least two such churches on the KMV.
And at the far end of Stavropolskaya, at the opposite end of the station of the "five-storey" center, there is actually the current Intercession Cathedral (1992-97), which seems to have had a pre-revolutionary predecessor, whose photographs I have not found.
However, it is interesting in itself - perhaps the clearest example of this rough, home-grown, low-budget, but so sincere architecture of the Perestroika churches.
Strange proportions, some kind of general separateness of all elements:
The apse, which looks like a water tower, is especially good:
In addition to the station, in MinVody there is an airport founded in 1925, and now the largest in the North Caucasian Federal District - inferior to the airports of Rostov, Krasnodar and Sochi, but far superior to Stavropol, and due to the difficult terrain (near the mountains), along with Moscow airports, it had the most modern navigation equipment in the USSR. Also in the vicinity of Mineralnye Vody there are the small resorts of Kumagorsk and Naguta that remain in the shadow of the "magnificent four", as well as the completely non-resort Georgievsk - an old town that grew up near a fair and a fortress, where in 1783 a treatise on the Russian protectorate over Georgia was signed. Perhaps Georgievsk is my main gap on the KMV, but from there I come from an econom-geographer mingitau , in the journal of which I am sending. As for me, of the remarkable places in the vicinity of Mineralnye Vody, I remembered only the Nogai village of Kangly, which passes by a minibus on the road from Stavropol - about the Nogais, whose villages are dotted from the Kazakh border to the Caucasus, I have already written. But at least at a cursory glance, Kangly does not stand out from other villages of Stavropol, and their main attraction - Dagger Mountain (506m) in the 1970s was completely destroyed by a quarry - the local mountains are made up of a rare and valuable technical stone beshtownite:
So back to the station- in addition to the through tracks of long-distance trains, there are also dead-end suburban trains. At the entrance to the covered platform there are turnstiles, at the box office they sell a ticket with a barcode, like on the Moscow Region electric trains - only the turnstiles are wide open, and controllers often go around the cars. The line to Kislovodsk with a length of 64 kilometers was built, as already mentioned, in 1893, and took on its current appearance in 1936, when it was electrified (and the main line was awarded such an honor only in the 1960s), equipped with high platforms and probably built some of the stations on small stations. Nowadays it is something in between urban and suburban transport - it connects MinVody, Pyatigorsk, Essentuki and Kislovodsk, trains run on average every hour and a half, travel time is also about an hour and a half. They are popular among the locals, and among the surrounding route disgrace they look like an oasis in the desert - a convenient and understandable transport that I used all 5 days of my stay on the KMV. What's especially nice is that all trains still have a historical design:
The canopy over the first suburban platform, judging by the rivets, is either pre-revolutionary, or competent stylization. Near the steam locomotive-monument:
And from the window of the train you can see rare pre-revolutionary buildings of the Pathway Department:
First stop - platform 3rd kilometer, nondescript match the name. There are only two of them on the line.
On 5th kilometer the station is more interesting - apparently, during the electrification of the line:
Like the next station Snake- Stalin's train stations here are similar to each other, but slightly different:
Somewhere here the city ends, and over the villages and fields dominates the actual Zhlaktau, in the rocks of which there really is something serpentine. Part of the slope is disfigured by a quarry where the same beshtownite was mined:
It's a pity, the day turned out to be cloudy - each of the 5 days on MinVody (yes, all 10 days of the trip) was accompanied by different weather:
But a new one begins behind the mountain settlement Inozemtsevo (28 thousand inhabitants), through which the railway passes by three stations:
Here a branch line to Zheleznovodsk from just one haul approaches ... this spring, alas, it was actually killed - trains no longer run on it. Although this is not the first closure, at the best time there were 19 pairs of trains on the line (that is, one train went back and forth almost continuously), and on the eve of the last cancellation - 6 pairs.
Here is the zone of influence of another mountain - Beshtau (1401m), around which the KMV are grouped. To the station Beshtau and electric trains from Zheleznovodsk run - back and forth, not further along the main passage!
There is already a pre-revolutionary station, behind which the Russian Railways sanatorium "Voskhod":
Inozemtsevo is now listed as an urban settlement under the jurisdiction of Zheleznovodsk, which is slightly larger in size. It has always been in the shadow of other cities of the CMS, but meanwhile its history is very interesting: in 1801, the Scots settled here - missionaries from the Edinburgh Bible Society, trying to baptize the mountaineers - as I understand it, "Bible societies" do not belong to any denomination and simply spread The Bible in the world. However, the mission was not very successful, the Scots held out here until 1835, and then they were finally ousted by the Germans who moved here in 1809 and took up gardening.
The name "Inozemtsevo" is not at all in honor of the local foreigners: initially the Scottish colony was called Karras, the German colony - Nikolaev, and under the current name they were united in 1959 (when the local Germans, at the behest of Stalin, had settled in Kazakhstan for 18 years already) around the station settlement, which received the name in turn in honor of Ivan Inozemtsev - the head of the Vladikavkaz railway, who built this line and a mansion near the station named after himself:
Beyond the tracks are the remains of Inozemtsev's house church, converted into a residential building. The shot was taken directly from the platform:
Station Inozemtsevo:
Little old train station:
Here I left the train and went in search of the fragments of the former German colony. The village stands on the slope of Beshtau, the streets go down at a very noticeable angle:
In the center is Svoboda Avenue with a boulevard, quite possibly planted by the Germans, on opposite sides of which there are two houses of very respectable age:
White on the left, with three windows, belonged to the foreman of the German colonists Gottlieb Roschke, who set up a coffee house here, and this coffee house was visited by Pushkin, Glinka, Tolstoy, Belinsky, but first of all - Lermontov, who had breakfast here for the last time in his life, in the morning before duel with Martynov. What is there now - I don't know: the house is neither open nor abandoned.
Obliquely from which is the gray building of the "Luch" cinema, hiding inside the church of the Karras colony (1837), the photographs of which, alas, I have not found:
There is also one more former church of the Nikolaev colony (1904), the address of which I did not know, and only upon my return I discovered that now it is the Mashuk House of Culture on Kolkhoznaya Street. How I missed this in preparation - I can't put my mind to it, so the photo of the church is someone else's (
THE HISTORY OF THE SETTLEMENT OF INOZEMTSEVO STAVROPOL REGION. The settlement of Inozemtsevo is a unique place of the KMV. It was here in 1801-1835 that the first and oldest settlement of immigrants from Western Europe - the Scottish missionaries of the Edinburgh Bible Society - was located. Missionaries were sent to the Caucasian line at the behest of Emperor Alexander I "with the aim of spreading industriousness, craft and Christianity among the mountain peoples of the Mohammedan and pagan confession." In the fall of 1801, a site was chosen for the mission on the eastern slope of Mount Beshtau, in the ancient Tatar settlement of Karras, which belonged to the descendants of the Crimean sultan Girey. In 1805, the missionaries received 7 thousand dessiatines of state land. Members of the mission actively spread Christianity, published religious literature, ransomed slaves with the money of the biblical society, converted them to the Christian faith and returned their freedom. In addition, the missionaries were engaged in carpentry, joinery, blacksmithing, pottery, printing, bakery, tailoring and weaving, as well as traded agricultural products in the KMW markets. To help the Scots to cultivate the land in the summer of 1809, the first German families from the Saratov province moved to Karras. Among them are artisans: locksmith Johann Martin, tanner Christian Konradi, shoemaker Johann Liebig, paper manufacturer Ludwig Liebig, blacksmith Johann Georg Engelgart. In 1819, near Karras, the German Nikolayev colony was established, which was separated from the old allotment 4.5 thousand dessiatines (in 1831 - Konstantinovskaya, between which vast vineyards grew). The new colonists, abandoning unprofitable arable farming, took up gardening, horticulture, viticulture, meat and milk production. They became regular suppliers of flowers, fruits, vegetables, meat, milk, kefir and excellent German cheeses to the KMV markets. The Germans brought the culture of tobacco cultivation to the KMV and successfully traded it in the markets. From the first years of their settlement, they were the only ones who baked bread for sale, delivering it to the canteens and restaurants of the resort. In the middle of the 19th century, both colonies worked: an oil mill, a tannery, a brick factory, and a lime factory. The names of furniture makers and coachmen were widely known (Andrei Konradi). Cleanliness, livability, abundance of greenery, flowers and fruits, tasty and inexpensive food attracted the resort public here. Until August 1941, the population of the colonies Karras and Nikolaevskaya up to 90% were Germans. However, by order of I. V. Stalin, who feared the complicity of the fascist army in the event of occupation, almost the entire German population within a month was taken to Northern Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, the Urals and Siberia. In September 1941, the former colonies Karras and Nikolaevskaya received the status of settlements. In 1959, the villages of Karras and Nikolaevskoye were united into the resort village of Inozemtsevo. This name was derived from the railway station of the same name. And the station Inozemtsevo, in turn, was named after the manager of the Vladikavkaz railway, Ivan Dmitrievich Inozemtsev, whose mansion is located next to the station. In January 1983, Inozemtsevo received the status of an urban-type settlement within the city of Zheleznovodsk.
Inozemtsevo is a resort village in the urban district of the resort town of Zheleznovodsk, Stavropol Territory. One of the largest urban-type settlements in Russia.
Located on the eastern slopes of Mount Beshtau. Distance to the regional center: 180 km.
History
It was here in 1801-1835 that the first and oldest settlement of immigrants from Western Europe - the Scottish missionaries of the Edinburgh Bible Society - was located. The Scottish colony was founded near the mountain village of Karras. Later, the Germans joined the colony and founded the Nikolaev colony in the neighborhood. The Scots themselves left the colony in 1821. Missionaries were sent to the Caucasian line at the behest of Emperor Alexander I "with the aim of spreading industriousness, craft and Christianity among the mountain peoples of the Mohammedan and pagan confession."
In the fall of 1801, a site was chosen for the mission on the eastern slope of Mount Beshtau, in the ancient Tatar settlement of Karras, which belonged to the descendants of the Crimean sultan Girey. In 1805, the missionaries received 7 thousand dessiatines of state land.

House RoschkeIn 1824, a wheel (dirt) road was built, connecting Hot Waters with the Railways through Karras (with a branch to Mashuk - through the territory of the present Mashuk station, Central Electric Power Station (Energetik village), Perkal forest nursery, Lesnaya dacha (Komsomolskaya glade) and up almost directly, almost without serpentine). On the road, in the estate of the German colonist Gottlieb Roschke, there was a famous coffee shop and a small hotel. Under an agreement with the Directorate of Waters, crews and horsemen made an obligatory stop for rest near this estate.
A. Pushkin, M. Yu. Lermontov, V. G. Belinsky, M. I. Glinka, L. N. Tolstoy visited Roshke's cafe. KMV researcher F. A. Batalin noted in 1856 that "better coffee than in the Coffee House, in the house of the foreman of the Roshke colony, cannot be found in Pyatigorsk either." It so happened that in the last hours before the fatal duel M. Yu. Lermontov dined with friends in this house.
Monument to the enema
In June 2008, the first in the world and so far the only monument dedicated to an enema was installed on the territory of the local sanatorium "Mashuk Aqua-Term". It is a bronze monument weighing 350 kg and 1.5 meters high, made in the form of a composition of three angel-like children, carrying a large pear-shaped enema raised above their heads. The sculptor of the project is Avakov S.I.
"In many medical institutions, including the resorts of the Caucasian Mineral Waters, enema is one of the most frequently prescribed procedures in the treatment and prevention of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract," said Alexander Kharchenko, director of the Mashuk Aqua-Term sanatorium. Therefore, it was high time for an enema to erect a monument. At the entrance to the sanatorium itself now hangs the slogan: "Let's hit with an enema on sloppiness and congestion!"
