Preface.

I received a letter from Tatyana Podoskina, who, mistakenly believing that I am the administrator of the site of the village, asked for assistance in posting a photo. Not being able to help her on that site, I suggested that she publish her material on the site of the Palace of Culture. Many thanks to Tatyana, she did not refuse my request. After reviewing the content, I have no doubt that what she wrote will be of interest to everyone who is interested in the history of the village. Tatyana herself determined the form of presentation of the material, as captions for photographs from a home album. I place it with gratitude to the author and her family members with the hope of continuing.

My small homeland– White Shores

Photo 1. My mother's family moved from Kashira to the village of Belyye Bereg in 1937 after the arrest of my great-grandfather Ignat Dmitrievich Zverev. My grandfather Vladimir Ignatievich Zverev, an electrical engineer by education, began working at the Bryansk State District Power Plant, and my grandmother Praskovya Semyonovna Zvereva was a housewife. The family lived on Lenin Street, house 5, apt. 16. This picture was taken on this street in 1937. On it is my mother, Albina Vladimirovna Zvereva (she is 5 years old) with her mother Praskovya Semyonovna (in the picture - on the right) and a neighbor from the 3rd floor Evgenia Komarovskaya. Between the houses on Lenin Street on the right side (if you look towards the Palace of Culture) there were small squares with sculptures similar to the one shown in the picture.

Photo 2. Mom went to the BRES kindergarten, which was located on Proletarskaya Street. The picture taken in November 1938 shows a children's matinee in honor of the 21st anniversary of the October Revolution. My mother is in the front row on the right.

Photo 3. In 1939, my mother went to first grade. In the picture on August 30, 1939 - my mother's class and teacher. The picture was taken on the territory of the current park named after M.I.

Photo 5. In the picture of 1939, Alya Zvereva is next to the sculpture, the location of which, unfortunately, has not yet been established on the territory of the village.

Photo 6. My grandfather Vladimir Ignatievich Zverev was a very enthusiastic person. He has always been interested in technology. One of the first in the country, in 1939, he assembled a TV set with his own hands. My mother recalls that her mother, Praskovya Semyonovna, used to say to her husband, who was sitting over the assembly of the TV in the evenings: “Take a break from work, go out for a walk on Fresh air like others." But Vladimir Ignatievich stubbornly pursued his goal, and his TV started working, although the screen was no larger than a matchbox! The Zverev family and their neighbors could watch some broadcasts from Moscow.

Photo 7-9. May Day holiday demonstration in 1940 on Lenin Street.

Photo 10. Behind the Palace of Culture building there was a birch grove with a large wooden gazebo. The inhabitants of the village loved this place very much. Warm September day in 1940. Mom smiles into the lens, on a bench Vladimir Ignatievich (on the right) with his wife Praskovya Semyonovna and younger brother Dmitry. Dmitry Ignatievich graduated from the Beloberezh school in 1939, then entered the Moscow Institute of Fisheries, from the third year he was called to the front, went through the entire war as a lieutenant of the chemical service, and was awarded the Order of the Red Star. After the end of the war, he completed his studies at the university, sailed on the whaling fleets Slava and Aleut, then worked at the fish factories of Novorossiysk and Sevastopol.

White Shores- an urban-type settlement in the Bryansk region of Russia, administratively subordinated to the Fokinsky district of the city of Bryansk. Population - 9.6 thousand inhabitants (2010). The largest of settlements Bryansk region, which do not have local governments.

It is located 15 km from the eastern outskirts of the regional center, on the Snezhet River, on which the dam forms Beloberezhskoye Lake - the largest artificial lake in the Bryansk region. It is surrounded on all sides by the legendary Bryansk forests.

Railway station on the line Bryansk - Orel.

Palace of Culture in White Shores

Directly near the White Shores there is a junction of major highways M3 Moscow-Kyiv and A141 Orel-Smolensk.

Story

The date of foundation of the current urban settlement is considered to be 1868, when the railroad station White Shores on the Bryansk-Orel line. But back in the 1700s, 6 km from the current village was founded monastery Beloberezhskaya desert, from the name of which the whole surrounding area began to be called White Shores (which later gave the name of the station). The rapid development of the village began in the 1920s in connection with the construction of the Bryansk State District Power Plant.

The status of an urban-type settlement was assigned by a decree of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of November 20, 1932.

Attractions

To the west of the village is the monastery of Beloberezhskaya Pustyn, the largest memorial complex of the Bryansk region "Partizanskaya Polyana", an extensive sanatorium and health zone. 10 km to the south is the Khatsun memorial complex (on the site of a village burned by the fascist invaders).

Ecological situation

Long time ecological situation in the town of Belye Berega was unfavorable due to significant air pollution by emissions from the Bryansk State District Power Plant, which operated on peat. Since the mid-1990s, the GRES has been converted to gas; the situation has improved significantly. However, since 2007, the state of the so-called "warm channel" - an unfreezing artificial channel that served to drain heated water from the turbines of the state district power station - has been causing concern. The Warm Canal was built in the late 1950s; over the past half century, it has become not only a favorite vacation spot, but a kind of miniature ecosystem has formed around it. Since 2007, due to the cessation of regular discharge warm water, the canal has turned into a stagnant reservoir, now unsuitable not only for swimming, but even for the habitation of the former flora and fauna. Since the canal flows directly into Lake Beloberezhskoye, an environmental disaster can spread to this reservoir, as well as cause diseases among the population.

The suburban Bryansk village of Belyye Bereg received another bridge - Bely. It was built over the weekend. They didn't even ask the state for a nail.

“There are people on Earth who cannot live without creating. These are the Beloberezhsky bridge builders, - this is how the Beloberezhsky people told about themselves.

Two weeks ago, they carried out preparatory work for the construction of an arched bridge to the Youth Beach. It was difficult to get only lumber. The inhabitants of the village together began to look for bars and boards.

On Saturday, the “whites ruled”. He came out with axes and saws, as usual, both old and young. They worked cheerfully, even festively, with jokes. Such enthusiasm was not expected by the Beloberezh residents themselves. From morning to evening saws rang and axes clattered. Some hammered oak piles, others laid spans of logs, and others built a deck. The new Beloberezhsky bridge across the canal is almost completed, it will be completed next Saturday. It will be not only beautiful, but also safe.

Sergey Konobeev notes:

- Women and girls took an active part in the construction. Everything was interesting, beautiful, appetizing, sometimes intriguing. Children rejoiced at scrambled eggs with lard.

Pilaf and a hot bath with an ice-hole became the final chord of the holiday of communal labor. In White Shores, about whose amazing inhabitants the Russian press has already told, they proved that a person does not live by salary and not by foreign cars alone. The joy of such communication is given first of all to children who enthusiastically talked about the day of creation.

Once, on a warm summer day, I ended up in a small and cozy village in the Bryansk region. This village is famous for the largest artificial Lake Beloberezhsky, as well as GRES, during the construction of which the development of this village began.
A bit of history(from wikipedia):

"The date of foundation of the current urban settlement is considered to be 1868, when the Belye Bereg railway station was opened on the Bryansk-Orel line. But back in the 1700s, 6 km from the current village, the monastery Beloberezhskaya Pustyn was founded, from the name of which the entire surrounding area became known as the White Shores (which later gave the name of the station) ...
The status of an urban-type settlement was assigned by a decree of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of November 20, 1932.

The purpose of the trip to the White Shores was the very lake in which I wanted to swim, but while I was getting to it, I came across interesting objects along the way.

One of them turned out to be a former kindergarten "Violet" or even a former elementary school. Terribly degraded and shabby building ...

echoes elementary school...






Behind the building there are wooden extensions.

Once he was like that .. 1976. (photo from belber.ru)

Soon I was at the lake. And nearby in the park I could not help but notice funny benches

In this post I will not show pictures of the lake, they will remain for later :)
Returning from the lake, I decided to go to the state district power station itself.
A bit of history from wiki:
On December 22, 1920, at the VIII All-Union Congress of Soviets, the GOELRO plan was approved, according to which 30 regional power plants were planned to be built within 10-15 years, including the Bryansk State District Power Plant.
On April 21, 1927, the Council of Labor and Defense adopted a resolution "On the construction of the Bryansk regional power plant." ...
On October 9, 1931, the first turbine with a capacity of 11 thousand kW was put into operation, and testing of the power plant equipment began. The main type of fuel was peat from the nearest deposits (Paltso, Teploe), delivered using the Beloberezhskaya narrow-gauge railway. ...

In 1961-1964, all 12 boilers were reconstructed for combustion natural gas. In 1966, a closed hydraulic ash removal system was put into operation.

The plant's maximum installed capacity was 90 MW.

Since the beginning of 2012, the issue of closing the Bryansk State District Power Plant as a power plant and transferring it to the boiler room mode has been decided.

More information about GRES can be found ->

It is easy to get to the territory of the state district power station, but it is not deserted there. And people constantly go to the dam to hang out, and even swim :)



Now this state district power station operates as a boiler house, it has only one working boiler for the village.
