Krasny Liman (until 1938 - the village of Liman) is a city of regional subordination, the center of the region. Located 105 km north of the regional center on the Moscow - Rostov railway. An important railway junction. Population - 32.4 thousand people. The village of Stavki and the villages of Brusovka, Stary Karavan, and Shchurovo are subordinate to the Krasnolimansky City Council.

The territory on which Krasny Liman is located has been inhabited for a long time. In the Seversky Donets basin, archaeologists P. P. Efimenko and N. V. Sibilev discovered a number of valuable archaeological sites. In particular, in the western part of Krasny Liman, which approaches the river, the remains of settlements of Neolithic fishermen and hunters were found, and near the village of Shchurova - the remains of a Bronze Age settlement. A Scythian settlement of the 4th-3rd centuries was excavated on the shore of Lake Liman. BC e. In addition, stone sculptures of nomads of the 9th-13th centuries were found. n. era.

A settled population on the territory of modern Krasny Liman appeared in the 17th century, when the Russian state, in order to defend against the Crimean Tatars, strengthened the guard service on the Seversky Donets. The emergence of the Liman settlement is closely connected with the history of the Mayatskaya fortress, located 14 km from it. Not far away was the Izyumsky Way, which was used by the Crimean Tatars when raiding Ukrainian and Russian lands. Near the Mayatskaya fortress, a number of settlements were founded to protect this steppe region from the nomadic hordes, including the Liman settlement, which arose in 1667. It got its name from the lake of the same name. In addition to settlers engaged in military guard service, the lands along the Seversky Donets were inhabited by Cossacks and fugitive peasants from the Dnieper region.

By strengthening defensive lines, the tsarist government in every possible way contributed to the growth of large feudal land ownership, generously distributing land to both Russian landowners and Ukrainian Cossack elders. Service people, Cossack assistants who lived in Liman, performed burdensome duties in favor of the treasury and the elders: they built roads, transported firewood, etc. This caused indignation, protest, and complaints among the working part of the population. So, in July 1763, on their behalf, S. Shramko, F. Borovensky, P. Mospan turned to the “Commission of Suburban Regiments” with a complaint against the centurion Boguslavsky for oppression, arbitrariness, and extortion. They reported that they had previously filed similar complaints with the “Commission,” but their situation not only did not improve, but became increasingly worse.

After the liquidation of the Ukrainian suburban regiments, the Cossacks were deprived of Cossack privileges and turned into military inhabitants, close in their position to state peasants. In 1767, 1,337 inhabitants lived in Liman. In 1818, in Izyumsky district, local residents protested against the creation of military settlements here. The authorities resorted to weapons. To prevent new unrest, the tsarist government temporarily abandoned the establishment of military settlements here. Therefore, the Liman settlement was transformed into a military settlement only on February 18, 1825. In 1830, there were 258 households of military settlers. Residents were distributed into companies, and strict military discipline was introduced. The difficult situation of the settlers was aggravated by the ban on engaging in crafts and trade, which had a negative impact on the development of the economy. After the liquidation of military settlements by the tsarist government in 1857, the villagers were transferred to the status of state peasants.

In accordance with the royal decrees of 1866-1867. about the land structure of state peasants, the highest land allotment per revision per capita in Liman was equal to four dessiatinas and was significantly less than the average allotment in the Kharkov province. In addition, some peasants were forced to move to worse lands. Feudal exploitation was replaced by another - capitalist robbery.

The reform contributed to the further development of crafts and the domestic market, the involvement of the bulk of peasants in the sphere of commodity-money relations. In 1879, Liman had three creameries, two forges, two shops and a store. Every year, two fairs were held in the village, and weekly, on Sundays, bazaars where they sold bread, livestock, fish and handicrafts.

At the beginning of the 20th century, due to the deteriorating economic situation of the working masses and under the influence of the growing revolutionary movement in the country, the peasants of Liman joined the fight against the autocracy. In 1903, Kharkov Social Democrats brought proclamations and leaflets to the village, exposing the policies of tsarism and calling for a fight against it. They were distributed by revolutionary-minded villagers.

Many landless peasants and farm laborers who left Liman in search of work at enterprises in Kharkov, Izyum, Taganrog, Slavyansk, Bakhmut, Kramatorsk, joined the ranks of the working class and took part in its struggle against the autocracy.

During the period of the first Russian bourgeois-democratic revolution of 1905-1907. Kharkov Bolsheviks conducted active political campaigning among the residents of Liman, organized rallies and gatherings at which demands were made for the division of landowners' land and political freedoms. Under their leadership, a May Day demonstration was organized in the village in 1905. On June 25, 1905, Liman workers participated in an anti-government demonstration held in Izium; On July 2 of the same year - at a rally at the Kramatorsk Machine-Building Plant. On September 14, 1907, the residents of Liman elected A. A. Degtyarev, the organizer of anti-government protests, as their delegate to the meeting of electors for elections to the Third State Duma.

The economic development of the village was influenced by the construction of the Lgov - Liman railway line. The Lozovaya - Slavyanok - Nikitovka railway section, built in 1869, did not ensure the timely removal of goods from Donbass. In 1907, the joint-stock company of the Severodonetsk Railway began the construction of a new line according to projects developed back in 1895, the so-called. Special commission for strengthening the railways of Donbass. Workers and peasants from Kharkov, Poltava, Kursk and other provinces were hired for construction. At the same time, a locomotive depot, repair shops, and production facilities were built in Liman. The railway sections Osnova - Liman - Yama, Slavyansk - Liman, Kramatorsk - Liman and the premises of the Liman station itself were put into operation in 1911, and in 1913 the laying of the second track on the Liman - Yama section was completed.

The working and living conditions of railway workers were extremely difficult. They huddled in plank barracks, where beds were replaced by bunks. But not everyone had such housing. Many workers had to sleep on locomotives, in carriages or sandboxes after their shifts. The peasants were not in a better position. A report from the 5th Medical Precinct in 1879 noted that they lived in clay shacks that resembled “Noah’s Ark,” housing, in addition to the owner’s family, small livestock and poultry. On two Liman streets with names characteristic of that time - Gryaznaya and Baklazhanovka - there were not even enough wells. The mortality rate was high during epidemics. Only in August 1870, out of 110 sick peasants, 23 died. Only in 1910, the Zemstvo Assembly decided to open a medical station at the expense of the Liman community.

The zemstvo one-class school, founded in 1870, was located in one room. In 1911, there were 71 boys and 15 girls studying at the school, and there was one teacher. In three years, only eight students graduated from school. On the eve of the First World War, a two-class school was opened at Liman station, where in 1919-1920. the famous Ukrainian Soviet poet A. S. Paniv (1899-1942) worked.

The new revolutionary upsurge that began in the country also embraced the working people of Liman. At the May Day rally in 1912, they declared their solidarity with the workers of the Lena mines. The core of the Liman workers were former railway builders who came from neighboring industrial cities and local residents. Among them were the Bolsheviks, as well as revolutionary-minded workers who carried out active political work among the population. So, in 1913, a mechanic at the locomotive depot V.L. Shakhmatov distributed the Bolshevik newspaper “Pravda” in Liman. Workers A. N. Izotov, F. K. Chelovyan and others were persecuted for anti-government propaganda.

In 1916, a strike of railway workers took place in the village, who opposed the war, demanding peace and bread.

After the February bourgeois-democratic revolution, the Liman Bolsheviks organized a demonstration of workers and peasants in the village in support of the workers of Petrograd. On March 15, in the school building (now one of the buildings of the boarding school) a general meeting of Liman residents was held, which elected the Council of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies, in which the Mensheviks captured the majority of seats. A trade union organization and the Spartak youth union were created at the railway station in March 1917. The Liman Bolsheviks supported the April Theses of V.I. Lenin and the decisions of the VII (April) All-Russian Conference of Bolsheviks. At the May Day rally in 1917, many speakers ended their speeches with the words: “Long live the socialist revolution!”, “Long live our leader Lenin!” To fight the counter-revolution, the Liman Bolsheviks created a Red Guard detachment from workers and farm laborers. Under the influence of the Bolsheviks, re-elections of the Council took place on June 25. The executive committee included 25 Bolsheviks and only 5 Mensheviks and Socialist Revolutionaries.

In August 1917, G.I. Petrovsky, who was on a trip to the Donbass at that time, addressed the workers and peasants of Liman with a call to unite under Bolshevik slogans. On September 15, 1917, a Bolshevik organization took shape in Liman. It included workers V.P. Dudnik, A.S. Udovichenko, F.S. Vorobyov and others. The organization was headed by locomotive depot mechanic F.I. After all. The Bolsheviks widely propagated the decisions of the VI Congress of the RSDLP(b). Having established contact with the Central Committee of the party, they received political literature from there, the Bolshevik newspaper “Rabochy Put”. In response to a letter from the Bolsheviks of the Liman depot, Secretary of the Central Committee of the RSDLP (b) E. D. Stasova reported: “We are very glad that the newspaper provides support in your work. We will send you the literature." In October 1917, Liman's party organization, which had grown to 70 people, helped strengthen the Red Guard detachment by sending Bolsheviks there. On October 20, the headquarters of the Red Guard was created in Liman, in which the Bolsheviks predominated.

After the victory of the October armed uprising in Petrograd, mass rallies and meetings were held at the station and in the village on October 26 and 27, where resolutions were adopted in which workers and peasants assured the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party, V. I. Lenin of support for revolutionary Petrograd and the power of the Soviets. On October 28, new re-elections of the Council of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies took place. The Bolshevik X. Polyakov was elected chairman. At the same time, a revolutionary committee was created headed by the communist F.I. Vedem. At the request of the workers, the old leaders who resisted the revolutionary measures were removed from the management of the railway junction. The nationalization of private enterprises was carried out. Under the leadership of the party organization and the Council, the workers of Liman began to restore railway transport and repair steam locomotives. In the spring of 1918, the poor began the distribution of landowners' lands. The Council also took measures to eliminate illiteracy among the population. 4 schools were opened for 360 students.

Liman's Bolshevik organization actively supported the foreign policy of the Soviet state. Bolshevik locomotive depot worker V.P. Dudnik was elected as a delegate to the Extraordinary IV All-Russian Congress of Soviets. Upon his return, he explained Lenin’s peace policy to the working people.

Great efforts by the party organization and the Council during this period were aimed at defeating the enemies of the young Soviet Republic. Workers and peasants of Liman were trained in military affairs. A fighting squad of 400 people was organized in the village, which later joined the Red Guard detachment of Yuzov workers who arrived here, led by M. A. Kabanov. Workers at the depot converted a steam locomotive and two Pullman cars into an armored train for the Red Guards, called “Molniya.” The Red Guard detachment took an active part in the fight against the Kaledinites. In April 1918, when the threat of Austro-German occupation loomed over the Donbass, the evacuation of locomotives and equipment began. In the second half of April, Austro-German troops captured the Liman. The Bolsheviks created an underground cell in the village. It was headed by Ya. N. Kucherenko, N. Ya. Skokov, E. F. Glushchenko. The party cell maintained close contact with the party organization of the Osnova station and together with it on June 27 took part in the election of delegates to the First Congress of the Communist Party (b)U. The Bolsheviks distributed leaflets and carried out agitation and propaganda work among the population. In July 1918, Liman railway workers took an active part in the all-Ukrainian strike of railway workers. In August, the Liman partisan detachment, led by depot worker M.I. Dzyuba, launched hostilities.

In early January 1919, after the expulsion of the Austro-German occupiers, Soviet power was restored in Liman. The Council of Workers, Peasants and Red Army Deputies was elected. The Bolsheviks of the village and Liman station elected a bureau of the party organization. In January 1919, the trade union organization of the railway junction resumed its activities. But in the spring of this year, bloody battles with the White Guards began here. Units of the 9th Division of the 13th Army held back the onslaught of Denikin’s troops in the area of Druzhkovka, Slavyansk and Liman. When the village was captured by the White Guards in June 1919, the working masses, following the call of the Bolsheviks, rose up to fight against the enemy. Many of them joined the partisan detachment under the command of M.I. Dzyuba. On the Liman-Svyatogorskaya and Liman-Yama railway sections, the partisans derailed several enemy trains, blew up a railway bridge, and captured a lot of weapons.

After successful military operations, scattered partisan detachments of Liman, Popovka, Bakhmut, Slavyansk joined the 12th Ukrainian Soviet Regiment. Denikin’s troops sent 800 Cossacks with artillery against the people’s avengers, but they failed to defeat the partisans. During the offensive of the Red Army, patriots in the Liman region defeated the White Guard battalion and destroyed the railway line. On December 27, 1919, units of the 13th Army liberated Liman.

The Limanians fought bravely against the enemy. For the courage and heroism shown in battles, many of them were awarded government awards. The commander of the machine gun company of the 12th Ukrainian Soviet Regiment, G. D. Volovod, was awarded the Order of the Red Banner. The diploma of the Revolutionary Military Council of the First Cavalry Army was presented to the driver of the armored train “Victory or Death” I. F. Dudnik by S. M. Budyonny. In the struggle for Soviet power, the first chairman of the revolutionary committee, F.I., died the death of the brave. After all, the commander of the partisan detachment M.I. Dzyuba, one of the youth organizers in Liman M.Ya. Slastienko and others. The bodies of the Liman residents who died in battles with the White Guards near Nikitovka in 1919 were transported to their native village and buried in a mass grave (near the current school No. 3), where a monument was erected to the heroes. At the request of former soldiers of the 12th Ukrainian Soviet Regiment, the Liman station was renamed Krasny Liman on January 9, 1925.

After the end of the civil war, the Bolsheviks of the village led the workers’ struggle to restore the destroyed economy. Their assistant was the Komsomol organization created in the second half of January 1920, which soon united 200 people, including 100 young workers.

The propaganda train “October Revolution,” headed by the Chairman of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee M. I. Kalinin, provided great assistance to the Liman communists in promoting the decisions of the party and government aimed at restoring the national economy. On February 2, 1921, he gave a speech at a rally of railway workers. At the suggestion of M.I. Kalinin, food detachments were created in the village to procure grain. The workers of Liman collected 3 million rubles for the starving people of the Volga region. money and part of the funds in gold and silver. Having unanimously approved the decisions of the 10th Congress of the RCP(b) on the transition to a new economic policy, the Liman Bolsheviks wrote in the resolution of the party meeting: “We swear to be staunch fighters for the cause of the party and not to let go of our weapons until the final triumph of the ideals of communism throughout the world.”

Workers repaired locomotives and carriages, restored tracks, eliminating the dire consequences of hunger and devastation. In the context of the fight against banditry, they collected firewood needed as fuel for steam locomotives. Railway workers actively participated in communist subbotniks. On May 18, 1921, Pravda published a photograph of participants in one of the cleanup days held at the Liman station locomotive depot. Thanks to the help of the population, the Liman power station was equipped on October 1, 1922, and a two-wire connection was installed on the Liman-Osnova section.

Since June 1920, Liman was part of the Slavyansky district of the Donetsk province. In 1923, it became the center of the Limansky district of the Bakhmut district. The district party and Soviet bodies directed their main efforts towards the rapid restoration of the railway junction. Communists and Komsomol members were sent to critical areas of production. In a short period, six leading services of the hub were restored, including the locomotive depot and station. At the end of 1923, there were up to 2,005 workers in Liman. The ranks of members of the Bolshevik Party grew. In 1924, more than 200 leading workers and peasants of the region became communists of the Leninist draft.

Communist workers provided great assistance to rural workers. As a result of the implementation of Lenin's Decree on Land, the peasants of the Liman region received 39 thousand acres of land. At the beginning of 1925, the first partnership for joint cultivation of land was created in Liman.

Along with solving economic problems, the Liman Council of Workers, Peasants and Red Army Deputies, the Komsomol and trade union organizations of the Liman railway junction under the leadership of the communists carried out significant work to improve the living conditions of workers and medical care. A socialist village of railway workers grew up near the station. At the same time, houses were erected using funds from housing cooperatives. We opened a clinic, a children's consultation, and a denture outpatient clinic. The patients were served by 9 doctors and 11 paramedics. In all the villages that were part of the modern Krasny Liman, there were medical and obstetric stations. By the end of the restoration period, 4 elementary schools and over 10 adult literacy schools were operating in Liman. In the 1925/26 academic year, a seven-year school was opened. A vocational school and driver courses operated at the railway junction. There was a club and a working library. In addition, at enterprises, on the initiative of Komsomol members, red corners were created, which became centers of a new, socialist culture. In 1922, a hut-reading room was opened in the village. According to the 1926 census, in the village of Liman there were 4.8 thousand inhabitants, of which 3.2 thousand people were employed in enterprises and transport.

At the end of the 20s, technical reconstruction of the railway junction began in Liman. In 1929, a new power plant came into operation, for the construction of which the state allocated almost half a million rubles. A powerful water pumping station, a water supply system and a station for equipping steam locomotives were built. Following the example of the Donbass miners, the Liman railway workers joined the socialist competition. In 1929, the locomotive driver, a communist since 1917, I. S. Belan was the first to drive heavy trains of 2000-2500 tons instead of 1300 on the Krasny Liman - Osnova section. To the call “From shock brigades - to shock work of the entire Donetsk railway!” The team of the Krasnolimansky conductor reserve was the first to respond, declaring itself a strike force. The workers of the passenger park organized a shock brigade named after. V.I. Lenin.

In November 1934, construction of the first large mechanized hump in the USSR and Europe for disbanding and composing trains was completed at the station. Two years later, fireless refueling of locomotives was introduced at the Liman locomotive depot; the Krasny Liman - Nikitovka and Krasny Liman - Osnova sections were transferred to automatic blocking. The importance of the junction as the northern gate of Donbass especially increased in 1939-1940 in connection with the construction of a new line to Kupyansk.

In the process of mastering new technology, a movement of innovators developed. Among the leading workers were electromechanic E. Ya. Belenko, train designer I. S. Dreval, mechanized hump attendant E. N. Andrievskaya, locomotive driver A. P. Miroshnichenko and others. The first tests of FD brand steam locomotives were carried out here. Driver G. F. Shulipa increased the speed and productivity of the FD steam locomotive by almost 1.5 times.

In 1935, a group of leading railway workers was invited to a reception in the Kremlin. G. F. Shulipa, A. P. Miroshnichenko were awarded the Order of Lenin, I. S. Dreval - the Order of the Red Banner of Labor. At an all-Union meeting of party organizers of a number of large locomotive depots, it was noted that in Krasny Liman there are 50 followers of P. F. Krivonos. Drivers S.V. Kladnitsky and G.S. Shumilov increased the mileage of the FD steam locomotive without repairs to 50-56 thousand km instead of 35 thousand km provided for by the standard.

Local industry developed. In the second half of the 30s, factories were built in Liman - rosin and turpentine, waste processing, bakeries and dairies. The “Red Ray” and “Red Shoemaker” clothing and footwear manufacturing martels began operating.

The workers of the village provided great patronage assistance to the working peasantry. Back in 1929, agricultural artels “12 years of October”, “Red Partisan”, “March 8”, “Blossoming Field” were created in Liman. Among the first chairmen of collective farms were envoys of the working class, communists P. A. Oleinik, A. P. Kravchenko and others. From their bonuses, the railway workers allocated a certain amount, with which they purchased a tractor, seeder, mower and other agricultural equipment. The delegation handed over this gift to the regional Congress of Soviets. In 1930, the state farm “Stavki” was organized in Liman, supplying workers with fresh vegetables and milk.

Following the example of railway workers, collective farmers launched socialist competition in the 1930s. The growth of agricultural production was facilitated by the unification in 1938 of three small agricultural artels into the collective farm “Za Tempi”. At the end of the second five-year plan, individual leaders here received a grain harvest of 15-18 centners per hectare. Even richer harvests were collected by the workers of the “12 Years of October” artel and the “Stavka” state farm. In 1940, state farm workers received 19 centners of grain and 138 centners of vegetables per hectare, milk yield per cow was 1,720 liters. The collective farm "Za Tempi", which in the same year was a participant in the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition, received a diploma for organizing breeding farms. The Liman hatchery and poultry station was awarded a small gold medal of the Exhibition. Wages on collective farms have increased. So, in 1940, for the workday, the collective farmers of the agricultural cooperative “For Tempi” received 2 kg of grain and 4.62 rubles. money.

In 1938, the village and the village of Liman merged. The new settlement is classified as a city and named Krasny Liman. At the beginning of 1939, there were 25.6 thousand inhabitants in Krasny Liman, of which over 20 thousand were workers and employees with their families. The city has new beautiful streets, multi-storey buildings, the Palace of Culture named after. Artem, Commune House, new station, etc. The public housing stock was 50 thousand square meters. meters. Individual developers have built over a thousand high-quality houses. In the second half of the 30s, a water supply system was laid and the streets were illuminated. The welfare of workers improved every year. In 1937, the first ten-year school and medical school opened in the city. At the beginning of the third five-year plan in Krasny Liman there were nine secondary, eight-year and primary schools, where 4.5 thousand children studied, and two schools for working youth. In 1932, a branch of the Kharkov Railway Institute and a railway technical school were opened. The regional newspaper "Transportnik" was published (handwritten edition from 1924, printed - from 1929) and the regional newspaper "For Tempi" - from 1930 (since 1965 - "The Dawn of Communism"). In July 1932, a literary circle was organized at the editorial office of the newspaper “Za Tempi”, which was later transformed into a literary studio.

At the Palace of Culture. Artyom worked with two drama clubs, a bandura choir, a symphony, folk instruments and brass bands, and a dance group. In 1939, a choir of bandura players performed in the Column Hall of the House of Unions in Moscow in front of delegates of the XVIII Congress of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks.

The workers of Krasny Liman took an active part in public life. At the IX All-Ukrainian Congress of Soviets, the best driver of heavy trains, P. S. Lagunov, was elected a member of the All-Ukrainian Central Executive Committee. An active participant in the Civil War, steam locomotive driver I. F. Dudnik in 1922-1923. was elected as a candidate member of the USSR Central Executive Committee. The delegate of the Extraordinary VIII Congress of Soviets of the USSR was the duty officer of the mechanized hill, E. N. Andrievskaya. In the elections to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR and the Ukrainian SSR of the first convocations, more than 98 percent. Krasny Liman voters voted for candidates from the bloc of communists and non-party people - the founder of the movement of innovators in transport P. F. Krivonos and the chairman of the collective farm “12 Years of October” A. A. Oleinik. The initiator of driving trains on a ring schedule, driver M. M. Konopkin, was a delegate to the XVIII Congress of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks in 1939. At the XIV Congress of the CP(b)U he was elected as a candidate member of the Central Committee of the CP(b) of Ukraine.

Story

The year of foundation has been dated variously, from 1644 to 1667. The last year is the most likely, because it was under it that the first mention of the Liman settlement is found, which was founded by Cossacks from the Mayaki fortress, located nearby. Sloboda Liman (later the village of Liman) was part of the Izyum district of the Kharkov province and is located near the remains of ancient lakes that gave it its name (Liman - lake), 8 km from the Seversky Donets River. In 1911, a railway passed through here, a locomotive depot and the Shukhtanovo station were built (until 1916), named after the railway engineer Shukhtanov. In 1923, former soldiers of the 1st Ukrainian Army turned to the authorities of Soviet Ukraine with a request to rename the Liman station to Krasny Liman station. The request was granted. During the administrative reform of 1938, the Krasny Liman station and the village of Liman were merged into one. This is how the city of Krasny Liman arose - the regional center of the Donetsk region formed six years earlier.

In the 1950s, cinder block and sand-lime brick factories, car repair shops, a food processing plant, a workshop for the production of antibiotics at a veterinary hospital were built, and a railway junction was electrified. Asphalt and feed mills have been operating since 1975.

Location of Krasny Liman on the map of Donetsk region

A small city in the Donetsk region is known outside its borders, primarily for the presence of a large railway junction. Many years ago, the railway station became the center of freight traffic in this part of eastern Ukraine. Several years have passed since, during the reorganization of the Donetsk Railway, the station received even more powers and increased freight traffic through its roads.

Among the residents of the region, Krasnyj-liman is known for its wonderful nature and wild forests. Most residents of Donetsk and the region come in the summer to the Blue Lakes, which are concentrated near Krasny Liman.
