Our city is a creation of our distant and close ancestors, the embodiment of our contemporaries' ideas. en Mon, 15 Oct 2012 12:30:06 +0300 One can find a more ancient, rich and famous city in the world, but Luhansk is unique and inimitable in its own way due to the efforts of the city generation dwellers, living in our land, building the city along the Luhan River, due to those who worked and fought for a better life. Our city is a creation of our distant and close ancestors, the embodiment of our contemporaries' ideas. The foundation of the city dates back to 1795 when Catherine II issued the Decree on the construction of ironworks near a small village Kam’yany Brid on the Luhan River. Its construction was caused by the urgent need to strengthen the arms and the fortresses of the Black Sea Fleet and the coastlines, won by Russia after a series of Russian-Turkish wars. The development of the plant is linked to a number of prominent historical figures of the XVIII-XIX centuries: Russian Admiral Count Mykola Mordvynov, an engineer and statesman Mykhaylo Soymonov, a Scottish engineer Charles Gascoigne, engineers Yevgraf Kovalevsky, Gustav Hess de Calve, Apollo Mevius, and Ivan Thieme. The plant had been constructed for 10 years. All necessary manpower was being supplied from some other state-owned plants in Russia. Hundreds of families moved from Lipetsk, Olonets and Kherson works. The state-owned settlements had been attributed to the plant. Luhansk plant became the first major steel plant in southern Russia. The first pig iron was produced at the plant in 1800, using coke in Russia for the first time. The plant supplied the Black Sea Fleet with the guns and shells. Luhansk guns were used during Borodino battle, defended the interests of Russia in the Crimean War. Military glory of Russia was cast at the plant in honor of its victory over the Swedes in 1709 and the French in 1812 and the monuments were raised in Poltava and Novgorod. Originally Luhansk was being built without an officially approved plan. All vertical streets were called 'lines' and all horizontal ones had their names. The very first street of the city was called English (now Street of V.I. Dahl), which settled the British experts, invited to work at Luhansk foundry by the first chief K. Gascoigne. I.M. Dahl was invited to the plant as a doctor. A prominent anthropologist and the author of "Explanatory Dictionary of the Great Russian Language”, Volodymyr Ivanovych Dahl was born in 1801. To commemorate the place of his birth, V.I. Dahl took the literary nickname Luhansk Kozak. Later, there appeared such streets as Pochtova, Petersburg (now Lenin Street) Kazanska (now K. Marks Street).   Over a time Petersburg Street had become the central one. In Luhansk there were more than 10 places of worship: Church of Assumption, St. Peter and Paul’s, Cathedral of St. Nicholas, Church of Transfiguration, Voznesenska, Trinity, Kazanska Churches, a synagogue, a catholic church and several houses of worship. Unfortunately, almost all of these buildings were demolished in the 30s of the XX century. In Luhansk there used to be several educational institutions: state-owned and private gymnasiums, colleges, primary schools. A woman's Commercial College was opened at the beginning of the XX century. In 1882 Luhansk in view of its economic level at the request of the local gentry and merchants was given the status of a district city. A City Council was housed in one of the best buildings of Kazanska Street (now here is the Municipal Museum of History and Culture of Luhansk). In 1903 Luhansk as a county town was granted the Emblem. New factories and plants sprang up in the 70-80s of the XIX century in Luhansk. Cartridge plant and locomotive works owned by the German industrialist Hartmann turned to be the largest. In 1898 there were already more than 30 industrial enterprises as well as many small artisan and craft workshops. At the end of the century Luhansk was connected with the central regions of Russia by means of two railway lines: Luhansk - Debaltseve and Luhansk – Millerove. Several banks emerged in the town. The largest was Azov-Don Bank. There were a few libraries, a cinema, some visiting theater companies. The beginning of the XX century was marked by the foundation of Mining and Commercial Club, Peoples’ Auditorium and a city park. The XX century introduced its changes into the history of Luhansk.  It experienced a revolution, a tragic period of occupation in the Great Patriotic War. The post-war period took the years of reconstruction of the destroyed economy and the rapid development of industry. In the 70-80s of the XX century Luhansk became the largest industrial center of Ukraine, the city with its national traditions and style of life. On January 5, 1970 Luhansk was renamed in Voroshilovgrad by the Decree of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium. On December 18, 1970 Luhansk was awarded the Order of October Revolution for its revolutionary achievements and successful fulfillment of the eighth Five-Year Plan, celebrating its 175th anniversary. The best workers of the city became honorary citizens and were awarded the title of a Socialist Labour Hero, some citizens got high government awards - a blacksmith Kurylo F.L. , a worker of the shoe association Yurkov S.G., a builder Oleksandrov G.I, Pedagogical Institute Professor Honcharenko M.G ., a teacher Aharkova M.R. and others. On January 22, 1971 the workers and employees of the locomotive plant were awarded with the Order of the October Revolution. The workers of the locomotive plant produced the new locomotives model 2 T 10L, TE 109, 2 TE 116 of 6000 hp capacity. Other businesses of the city - the crankshafts factory, enameling plant, Voroshilovgrad Building Trust, Donetsk Railway Division also made ​​a significant contribution to the development of industry in the city and oblast. A 100-day labour shift to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War was successfully completed (1975). Thousands of workers were working under the motto "Work for themselves and for those guys." Many working groups held the labour shifts in honor of the city-heroes. Voroshilovgrad Higher Military Flight Navigators School celebrated thirty years of the pilot Nikolai Hastello's feat. A memorial plaque was installed on the School building with the inscription "The Hero of the Soviet Union N.F.Hastello studied here in 1932-1934 ". A monument to him was also opened on the territory of School. Voroshilovgrad was growing and transforming due to its industrial development. The city stretched 18 km from southwest to northeast along the river Luhan. It expanded the capital construction. A large garment factory, new milk works, a complex locomotive assembly shop were additionally built. A large complex of housing and civil engineering was conducted in accordance with the master plan developed by the Ukrainian Hidrohrad. More than half of its volume was located in the hilly part of the city, on the site of one-story dwellings made of the local stone-marl. The living space in the city increased by almost 5 times compared to 1950s. By the beginning of 1976 the city housing stock had been 5,500 thousand square meters. The new comfortable flats were provided to almost 62% of the population of the city. The city population in the 70s numbered 466 000 people. The housing construction was also held on free territories of some large areas. The new blocks were named in honour of famous Luhansk citizens - Oleksiyev, Hayovyi, Dymytrov, Zhdanov, Shevchenko, Shcherbakov. The complex many-storied offices and houses rose on Heroes' Square of the Great Patriotic War, which had become the central area of ​​the city, including Demyokhin, Dzerzhinsky, Kotsyubynsky, Radyanska, Oboronna, Donetska 3ya streets, Lines 13,14,15 and others. A complex of high-rise buildings with a large self-service grocery store Voroshilovgradsky (now Absolute supermarket) became a decoration of the central city part. This construction is of original structure, designed by a local architect H.H.Holovchenko, fit well into the general architectural ensemble. Some fountains, catwalks on the man-made lake with an area of ​​more than 2.5 thousand square meters made a lovely view for Kotsyubynsky square. Much had been done on the improvement of the city, the development of its public utilities. Radyanska Street, the main transport artery of the city with two ten-kilometer lanes, separated by green lawns, was reconstructed in 1971. The main routes were running along this multi-kilometer main line. In 1975 the length of the paved streets was 261 km. The city water supply network stretched as long as 452 km. The city was equipped with 500 km of gas pipelines, all major enterprises, cultural and social institutions, blocks of flats were provided with gas supply. Transportation network was widely developing. In 1975, 67 trolleybuses were running on 4 lines of the total area 70.5 km. The city had 12 tram routes, connected by a circular line. The new railway station with a unique design was built in 1973. A stationary circus building was erected in 1971. An All-Union television contest «Hello, we are looking for talents!" was held in there. In 1972 the football team Zorya became the champion of the USSR. The volleyball team Iskra was the national champion in 1976. A bus terminal was opened on Oboronna Street. Soon the local history museum moved to a new building in Shevchenko Street. In 1970s the youth of the city got all possibilities to acquire vocational education - about 14.5 thousand students studied in 11 technical schools and 26 000 ones were the students of 5 higher educational establishments. For example, in 1975 5 350 students were taught by 230 instructors employed at 6 faculties of the Pedagogical Institute. The books of our writers F.Volny, S. Buhorkov, I. Nizovy, V.Titov were popular among the readers. V.Titov's novel "Death to All Luck," was published in many languages ​​of the USSR and in foreign countries. V.Titov won the Republican Youth and Taras Shevchenko State Prizes. A new tradition was born in October 1980. For the first time on October 12 a City Day was celebrated, dedicated to its 185th anniversary.
