On the territory of our district in Petrov Val there is a unique historical monument of the Lower Volga region - the Kamyshinka-Ilovlya canal, built at the end of the 17th - beginning of the 18th centuries. Centuries have passed over the monument, but it has well preserved the strict proportions of its earthworks.

This rare historical monument arouses constant interest among the residents of the city and the region, among passengers railway trains for all history buffs. And the village itself and the railway junction, founded during the Great Patriotic War, got their name in honor of this famous building in honor of the Petrine era.

This is the history of the monument. In the summer of 1695, Peter I, setting out on a campaign against the Turks, followed the Volga to Tsaritsyn. Here, his troops made an overland crossing to the village of Panshino (now the Ilovlinsky district), from where they reached Azov along the Don.

Studying the area on maps, Peter drew attention to the interfluve between Kamyshinka and Ilovlya. A year later, on November 4, 1696, at a meeting of the tsar with the boyars in Moscow, it was decided to connect the Volga with the Don by a canal between the tributaries of these rivers - Kamyshinka and Ilovlya, for which it was necessary to build a system of locks. The Caspian and Black Seas would be connected. In connection with the long-term hostilities with Turkey, the canal was given great military and economic importance.

The history of the creation of this hydraulic structure was written by one of the builders of the canal and locks, the English engineer John Peri, the prominent historian N.M. Karamzin, Russian specialist N. Durov, senior researcher of the archive of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR V.F. Gnuchev, the chief geologist of the Volga-Don Canal and the Stalingrad hydroelectric power station V. Galaktionov and others.

The historian N. M. Karamzin believed that the initial work on the construction of the canal should be attributed to 1569, when, in his opinion, the canal was dug by the Turkish Sultan Selim II, who carried out the plan of his father Suleiman the Great. The construction of such a canal could really consolidate the dominion of the Crimean Horde in the Caspian and Azov Seas, thereby creating a constant threat to Russia.

Karamzin's opinion was refuted by the scientist I.Kh. Shtukenberg, who pointed out in his study that the Sultan could not connect the two rivers, since, according to available information, the troops of Selim II stayed in September 1569 on Kamyshinka for only eight days, completely insufficient for such a huge work. The remnants of two channels that have survived to this day, one of which is often called "Turkish", are written by N. Durov and V.F. Gnuchev, can be easily explained by the progress of the projects conceived by Peter I. The technical survey of the so-called "Turkish" canal, as Stukenberg writes, convinces that it could only be built at the turn of the 18th century.

... in 1696, a canal project was already drawn up and, as N. Durov reports in his article, Peter sent it for discussion to the French Academy of Sciences. Work began in 1697 under the general command of the Astrakhan governor, Prince B.N. Golitsyn. Engineer Brekel was appointed as Golitsyn's assistant "for the lock and digging business at Kamyshinka".

In 1698, part of the canal was dug, and a lock was built on Kamyshinka by Brekel, according to N. Durov. But Brekel did not manage to sufficiently strengthen the base of the sluice: when it was full and the gates were locked, the water from the chamber, having washed away the base, came out of the closed sluice. Brekel hastily and almost secretly, in the absence of Peter, went abroad. To justify himself, he wrote a letter to Peter I in which he complained about Prince Golitsyn, who, according to him, was unfriendly to the matter, slowed down work on the canal, and so on.

Invited in 1698, the English engineer John Perry began work on Kamyshinka and immediately recognized, as the above authors point out, the direction chosen by Brekel was inconvenient. He drafted a canal in a new direction and presented it to Peter in the same year. Peter I approved Perry's project, and work began in the summer of 1699. This explains the presence of the remnants of two channels.

However, Peri did not finish the work. The huge amount of money he needed and. the main labor force was incompatible with the costs of a new war with Sweden that had begun. Work continued intermittently until 1704.

The construction begun by Peter I was forgotten for a long time after his death. Only in 1768, the Academy of Sciences gave an order to explore the Kamyshinka and Ilovlya rivers in order to determine the possibility of their connection to a small astronomical detachment of Professor G. M. Lovits and adjunct (later academician) P.B. Inohodtsev.

Started by Lovitz and Inohodtsev in 1771 and continued with long interruptions until the summer of 1774, the leveling work on the reeds was interrupted by the death of G.M. Livets on August 8, 1774.

Construction in the XVII - XVIII centuries of the Kamyshin-Ilovlya lock canal is interesting for the history of hydraulic engineering in general and the history of construction on the Volga in particular.

Today, the Petrovalsky Canal is unique among its own similar structures, and perhaps the only one that is dear to us as a monument to the work and audacity of our ancestors.

Unfortunately, this historical monument is not preserved in our country. It is not marked with a memorial plaque, in many places it is mutilated by a ruthless bulldozer knife, Petrovalskoe railway depot drains industrial effluents to the bottom of the canal.

The tiny town of Petrov Val, located in the Kamyshinsky district of the Volgograd region, is twice associated with the name of Tsar Peter Alekseevich. This is despite the fact that in a more or less organized locality the town turned into a town in 1942, but actually became a city quite recently, in 1988. There are two stories to be told here. Here listen.
History 1. Name.
Actually, what is Petrov Val, except that it is a tiny town. Here is how it was. In 1717, a grand raid of the Crimean Tatars on the Lower Volga region was undertaken. They managed to plunder Tsaritsyn, Saratov and others southern cities. It was then that Peter the Great decided to create a guard fortified line between the Volga and the Don. Between Tsaritsyn and Panshino such a line of 60 km was built. The construction of a large earthen rampart began in 1718, and two years later the entire southern border of Russia was delineated. fortification, consisting of a deep ditch and a shaft 12 meters high. The Watchtower had wooden palisades, 23 outposts and five earthen fortresses. Regular troops and the Don Cossacks were placed on the Tsaritsyno fortified line to carry out guard duty. The remains of this line in the form of an earthen rampart are still clearly visible and look like this.
. And they are called everywhere Petrov Val. That is how the city was named.

Story 2. Place.


Going on a campaign against the Turks in the summer of 1695, the Russian troops were forced to go through a very difficult path - they made a land transition to the village of Panshino (now the Ilovlinsky district), from where they reached Azov along the Don.
Analyzing the time and resources spent, Peter I studied the transition map. And in his head the idea arose to connect the Volga with the Don by a canal between the tributaries of these rivers - Kamyshinka and Ilovlya, for which it was necessary to build a system of locks. The Caspian and Black Seas would be connected. In connection with the long-term hostilities with Turkey, the canal was given great military and economic importance.
The project of the canal was urgently drawn up, and in 1696, after discussing the plan in the French Academy of Sciences, the construction of the canal began. The head of the project, as we would now say, was Astrakhan Governor-General Prince B.N. Golitsyn, and engineer Brekel was appointed his assistant "for the lock and dig business on Kamyshinka". In 1698 part of the canal was dug and one lock was built. However, Brekel didn’t finish something there, didn’t think of it, and the water from the closed sluice and chamber, having washed out the base, came out. While Galitsyn, out of unhurried Russian habit, was thinking about how he would report to the tsar-customer, Brekel, out of the German habit of quickly escaping, hastily and almost secretly, in the absence of Peter, went abroad, having previously sent a letter to Peter I, in which he accused Golitsyn of everything, who allegedly treated the matter unkindly, hindered work on the channel, and so on. While he, Brekel, not sparing his belly and engineering genius, literally ... But it’s clear that usually, and to this day, contractors write to a dissatisfied customer.
In 1698, Brekel was replaced by the English engineer John Perry and began by recognizing the previous direction as absolutely wrong, Brekel was declared an ignoramus and a charlatan, compiled new project and in 1699 began construction. This explains the presence of the remnants of two channels.
Work continued intermittently until 1704. However, either Peter lost interest in the construction of the canal, because by that time Russia was waging war in a completely different direction, namely with Sweden, or the whole idea turned out to be too expensive, but the construction of the canal was stopped.
The history of the channel does not end there. In 1768, the Academy of Sciences recalled the canal project and sent professors G. M. Lovits and adjunct (later academician) P.B. Inohodtsev. Leveling work on Kamyshinka continued intermittently until the summer of 1774 and stopped after the death of G.M. Livets on August 8, 1774.
And that is not all. N. M. Karamzin believed that the initial work on the construction of the canal should be attributed to 1569, when the Turkish Sultan Selim II appeared in these places in order to fulfill the plan of his father Suleiman the Great. The construction of such a canal could really consolidate the dominion of the Crimean horde in the Caspian and Seas of Azov. The Turks even started work, but a month later they were driven away. If so, then it turns out that the idea of ​​a navigable canal connecting the Volga and the Don appeared in the middle of the 16th century, and it was possible to realize it elsewhere only 400 years later.
Story 3. City of Petrov Val.


Lenina Street.
The channels did not work, but during the work, the dug earth was thrown to the edge of the basin and huge earthen ramparts were formed. . In our time, the channel has been assigned the status historical monument which is under state protection. True, it’s not clear to me what exactly the state protects, because there are no structures like this. Pieces of hollows and hills.
It is on one of these ramparts, on the shore, one might say, of the failed canal, that the city of Petrov Val stands.


The city of Petrov Val is quite tiny. - 29 sq. m and with a population of 14,000 people. They say “Two-street town”, so this is just about him. At least I saw two st. Lenin and Pioneer Avenue. However, Maxim and I managed to get lost in it. Went-went. Along the street, through the park, And then we look - some kind of highway with pointers of distances to different settlements. At some point, I even got scared. Turned back, went back. They didn't wander for long. But when they told Aunt Valya at home, she laughed to tears. And our dad advised, going for a walk through such a huge populated park, next time not to forget a map, a compass and a supply of drinking water. And, too, somehow strangely grunted into the phone. In general, they made us laugh!

Police

Fire Department,
Of course, the city has everything that is supposed to be: a fire station, a clinic, a police station, a post office, a cultural center and, as it should be in a flower bed, a monument to Ilyich with an outstretched hand. We ran into a mystery here. We counted three schools.
Here is school number 7. Not surprised.

Petrov Val is a small town in the Kamyshinsky district, the capital of the municipality - an urban settlement. The city is spread out on the left bank of the river. Ilovli at a distance of 185 km northeast of the regional center. This settlement is a small town with a population of about 13 thousand people. The area is only 29 sq. km. The climate is temperate continental with dry summers and frosty winters.

Story

The history of the city begins during the Great Patriotic War. Initially, the village was built specifically to supply troops participating in the Battle of Stalingrad with provisions. The name of the town was due to the water bridge Petrov Val. He was nearby. The navigable canal, which was supposed to connect the Volga and the Don, was ordered to be built by Peter I. However, after Russian empire started a war with Turkey and the Crimea, this idea had to be shelved. And after the start of the Northern War with Sweden, it was abandoned altogether, due to the termination of funding. Now the city of Petrov Val has only pits and ravines, reminiscent of the construction that began. Already today, the canal has been given the status of a historical monument. A stele was erected in the city itself. Until the 50s, all the residential buildings of the town were located in sheltered dugouts. And only in the middle of the twentieth century, the first brick buildings and houses appeared.

Development

During the war, the Petrov Val railway station was built, and in 1947 a locomotive depot was built. The city is a junction station. Connects such settlements as Kamyshin and Balashov.

The settlement received the status of a city only in 1988. In 2005, according to a referendum, it was decided to create municipality, which, in addition to the city, also includes the village of Avilovsky. The whole economy is now firmly kept at work railway station and maintenance of the locomotive depot.

What is in the city?

There are few large streets here: Pioneer Avenue, st. Krupskaya and Leninskaya. Most of the houses are private, but there are several high-rise buildings. Not far from the city is the military town of Lebyazhye, on the territory of which the airfield of the same name was built.

Attractions

In terms of tourism, Petrov Val will not surprise you with sights. Of the natural ones, only the remains of the canal, the surroundings near the Ilovlya River. And from the architectural ones - the building of the House of Culture and the railway station.

6 km to the east of the city there is an interesting landscape area - Kamyshin ears. It consists of smoothed boulders about 50 m high, located at a short distance from each other. In the middle of the stones rises a hill, which is popularly called the "forehead". This is a protected area of ​​regional importance since 2011. this place rocks come to the surface, creating a unique terrain. The rocks are tertiary deposits

In the territory landscape monument nature in the city of Petrov Val, Volgograd region, inhabited by representatives of the flora, some species of ferns and gymnosperms, which are listed in the Red Book. One of the species - Kamyshin magnolia - is endemic. Previously, it grew only in this area, but scientists managed to find only fossils. The flower itself has long ceased to exist.

Although there are quite a few attractions here, several thousand travelers come here every year. Moreover, there are both people from Russia and residents neighboring countries. Petrov Val - really very beautiful and interesting city, do not forget about it! If possible, it is best to go and see for yourself.
