City `s history

According to one of the versions, the ancient settlement on the site of Shuya was founded by the Finno-Ugric tribes Chud and Merya; and its name may come from Finnish word"Suo" - swamp, lake, swampy area. According to another version, the name goes back to the Old Slavic “oshuy”, that is, “on the left”, “on the left hand” (in this case, “on the left bank”).

In the XX century, not far from Shuya, ancient burials (the so-called Semukhinsky burial mounds) were discovered belonging to the Volga trade route X-XI centuries.

Shuisky principality

Main article: Shuisky principality

Since 1403, the Shuisky princes are mentioned, who owned the city for almost 200 years. The Shuisky clan originates from Vasily Kirdyapa - one of the princes of Suzdal. The representative of this family was Vasily Ivanovich Shuisky - the last tsar from the Rurik family (reigned 1606-1610), after him the Romanov dynasty ascended to the Russian throne. As the legends tell, Vasily Shuisky often visited his estate to have fun with falconry. In the village of Melnichny (now a suburb of Shuya), according to legend, the Tsar's daughter, Princess Anna, was buried. The Shuisky Kremlin (now the territory of the Union Square) had siege courts that belonged to Prince I.I. Shuisky, Prince D.M. Pozharsky, and others.

The first documentary evidence of the city of Shuya dates back to 1539. Under this date, Shuya is mentioned in the Nikon Chronicle among the cities devastated by the Kazan Khan Safa-Girey, and it is from her that the city dates back. Prior to this, the city was known under the name Borisoglebskaya Sloboda, in honor of the Church of Saints Boris and Gleb located in it.

Shuya and the crowned persons

Ivan the Terrible, during his campaign against Kazan in 1549, visited Shuya and soon included it among the other 19 cities in the oprichnina (1565-1572), declaring it his property. Then in 1572, according to the spiritual letter of Ivan the Terrible, Shuya was inherited by his son Fyodor. In 1609 the city was ravaged by the Poles, and in 1619 by the Lithuanians.

In 1722, on the way to Persian campaign Peter I visited Shuya. He stopped in the city to venerate the local shrine - the miraculous icon of the Shuya-Smolensk Mother of God. The icon was painted by a Shuya icon painter in 1654-1655, when a pestilence raged in the city. Soon after the icon was painted, the epidemic ceased, and the image of the Mother of God revealed miraculous healings of the sick. Peter I also got rid of the disease and wanted to take the miraculous icon to St. Petersburg. The townspeople, having learned about this, fell on their knees before the king and begged to leave the Heavenly Patroness and Intercessor of the city in Shuya in her place in the Resurrection Church.

In 1729, the daughter of Peter I, princess Elizabeth, who loved to hunt in the surrounding forests, lived for some time in Shuya. Another heir to the throne also visited Shuya. In 1837, traveling around Russia, accompanied by the famous Russian poet V.A.Zhukovsky, the future Emperor Alexander II visited Shuya. Having got acquainted with the sights of the city, the Tsarevich honored with his visit the houses of the most famous townspeople - the richest merchants Posylyns and Kiselyovs.

Shuya merchants and textile industry

The development of industry and trade in Shuya was facilitated by the convenient location of the city on the navigable river Teze. Shuya had a large Gostiny Dvor (on the site of the modern Gostiny Dvor). Nonresident and foreign merchants came to trade in Shuya - in 1654 there was a shop of the English-Arkhangelsk trading company in the Gostiny Dvor. at the same time Shuya was famous for fairs.

Coat of arms (1781)

In 1755, the merchant Yakov Igumnov opened the first linen manufactory, as proof of which he was given a ticket to set up a factory from the Shuya provincial office.

In 1781 Russian empress Catherine the Great issued a decree on the formation of the Vladimir governorship and approved the coat of arms of the city of Shuya. The ancient coat of arms of Shuya was a shield divided into two parts. the upper part is a lion leopard standing on its hind legs - a symbol of the provincial city of Vladimir; in the lower part - "on a red field, a bar of soap, meaning the glorious soap factories located in the city." Indeed, soap making was the oldest industry in the city of Shuya, the first mention of them is found in the scribe book of Afanasy Vekov and clerk Seliverst Ivanov in 1629. Already in the 16th century, the industrial character of the city of Shuya was determined. Along with soap making, another old craft of Shuya was sheepskin and fur coat. It flourished especially in the XVI-XVII centuries, therefore, Tsar Vasily Shuisky was popularly called "fur coat".

For a long time, the textile industry has been developing in Shuya - the manufacture of linen fabrics. The weaving of canvases was carried out in many peasant huts and in the houses of the townspeople of the city of Shuya on wooden weaving mills. From the middle of the 18th century, weaving linen manufactories appeared in Shuya; the very first manufactory of the merchant Yakov Igumnov was opened in 1755. However, by the end of the 18th century, cotton was conquering the world market. The Shuya merchants of the Kiselev dynasty were the first entrepreneurs who established the supply of cotton yarn from England not only to Shuya, but also to its environs.

In parallel with the Kisyolovs, the factories of merchants, the Posylyn brothers, developed rapidly. AI Posylin was the first to start a paper-spinning mill with 11,000 spindles, which operated by means of steam engines. The products of the Posylin manufactories were awarded a large gold medal at the First All-Russian Exhibition of the Manufacturing Industry in St. Petersburg in 1829. “This merchant house in Shuya has been from time immemorial rich, prudent and persistent in the execution of planned enterprises, has all the material and immaterial means to make its spinning mill one of the first establishments in the state,” - this is how the writer Dmitry Shelekhov in the middle of the 19th century spoke of those who stood at the origins of the Shuya textile industry.

As of 1859, 8555 people (675 houses) lived in the city.

In Shuya, in September 1918, the headquarters of the 7th rifle Chernigov (former Vladimir) division was formed.

According to one of the versions, a settlement on the site of the modern city of Shuya has existed since ancient times. It was founded by the Finno-Ugric tribes. According to the same version, the name Shuya comes from the Finnish word "suo", which means "swamp, swampy place." Since 1403, documentary sources mention the Shuisky princes, who ruled Shuya for several centuries. However, then the city itself was called Borisoglebskaya Sloboda - after the name of the church of Boris and Gleb. The Shuisky family originates from the Suzdal princes. By the way, the last king of the Rurik dynasty - Vasily Ivanovich Shuisky - belonged to this family. For the first time documentary mention of the city of Shuya (with its modern name) is found in 1539 in the Nikon Chronicle - it is told about its destruction by the troops of the Kazan Khan. It is 1539 that is considered the date of the founding of the city. It is known that Shuya was repeatedly visited by the reigning persons (Ivan the Terrible, Peter I, Alexander II). Successful geographical position Shui promoted the development of industry and trade. In those days, the Teza River was navigable. Merchants came to the city not only from neighboring cities, but from remote regions of Russia and even from abroad. Shuya fairs were famous. In 1755, the first linen manufactory was opened. The textile industry began to develop actively.

Perhaps the most famous Shuya attraction – Resurrection Cathedral, built at the beginning of the 19th century. He is best known for his 106-meter bell tower. It is the second largest in Russia (the first place is taken by the bell tower of the Peter and Paul Fortress in St. Petersburg). It is not for nothing that the bell tower of the Resurrection Cathedral has become a symbol of the city of Shuya. In 1891, a huge bell (the 7th largest in Russia) weighing 1270 poods was raised on it. It was cast in Moscow and installed in honor of the birthday of Nicholas II. Now the Resurrection Cathedral is a courtyard Nikolo-Shartomsky monastery, which is located on the banks of the Teza River, 15 km from Shuya in the village of Vvedenie.

The ancient city in the Ivanovo region, located on the banks of the beautiful navigable river Teza, has a unique architecture, each street tells its own unforgettable story.

SHUI'S STORY

For the first time, the city of Shuya was mentioned in the chronicle in 1539, although it is known for certain that it was founded much earlier. The history of the small town is full of many interesting facts. The first association with the name for many arises with the clan of the Shuisky princes (reigning until 1610). Indeed, Shuya is directly related to this dynasty. The last representative of the generation of Rurikovich was Tsar Vasily Ivanovich Shuisky, a native of this land. According to legend, he often visited the village of Melnichnoye (now a microdistrict of the city) for the purpose of hunting, and in the Shuya Kremlin there were siege yards belonging to the Shuya dynasty. The royal people took a fancy to the city. Ivan the Terrible, having once been here, made it his own and passed it on to his son Fyodor. In the 18th century, Shuya was visited by Peter I. He was attracted here by the miraculous icon of the Shuya-Smolensk Mother of God, which, according to legend, saved the population of the city from cholera, and then saved Peter himself from a terrible illness. The tsar decided to take the saving creation with him to St. Petersburg, but the inhabitants prayed, were not afraid to ask the tsar to leave the icon, the patroness of the city, in the central cathedral of Shuya. After the visit of Peter I, his daughter Elizabeth lived here for some time. The year 1837 was marked by the visit of Emperor Alexander II, who was very surprised by the beauty of the city.

Churches and temples of Shuya

Before the revolution of the early 20th century, more than 20 church complexes were concentrated in a small area, and there were many monasteries in the vicinity. Now the external decoration of many existing churches is being restored, some architectural monuments destroyed during the Soviet era are being revived. Let's start our tour by visiting temples and churches, of which there are quite a few.

The first thing that catches the eye of those who come here is the bell tower Resurrection Cathedral that can be seen from everywhere. The unique cathedral was erected in late XVIII century, it is today a courtyard of the old Nikolo-Shartomsky monastery. Resurrection bell tower- the one-of-a-kind similarity to it is not found anywhere in the world. Its main feature is that it is the first belfry in Europe, located separately from the temple. The bell tower rises to a height of 106 meters, taking the third place among the architectural structures in Russia in terms of height. Construction began in 1799 by the famous Italian architect Maricelli. Built up to the second tier, the structure could not stand it and collapsed. The work was completed by a self-taught master Mikhail Savvateev, and the work was supervised by the architect from Vladimir E.Ya. Petrov. An interesting fact is the installation of a huge bell on the third tier. It was specially made for the Resurrection bell tower, its weight was more than 20 tons (then it was the seventh bell in Russia by weight). Fearing that the bridge would not be able to survive the transportation of a multi-ton cast object, after much deliberation, they decided to ferry it straight across the ice across the Tezu River. Unfortunately, even severe Epiphany frosts did not help: the ice broke and the bell sank in the middle of the river. However, among the onlookers there was a daredevil who was not afraid to dive into the icy water, he hooked the bell with a rope, and he was safely pulled out of the water. It was installed in its intended place. Undoubtedly, the bell tower of the Resurrection Cathedral is an outstanding original building. It combines best achievements architects of that time: huge size, delightful harmony, laconic combination of "transparency", massiveness and majesty. This is the first place where tourists and guests of the city strive. Do not change this tradition! You may have the opportunity to visit the upper tier of the bell tower and admire this unique structure even more! Trust me, it's worth seeing! If you are lucky enough to visit the city during the festive Easter week, you can take advantage of the tradition existing here. It is on the days of Easter that it is allowed to climb the upper tier of the bell tower and see Shuya and the surrounding area from a bird's eye view.

In modern Shuya, other ancient Orthodox churches have been preserved, the splendor of which must be enjoyed! Church of the Intercession it is very easy to find: it is located in the center of the city, not far from the Resurrection Cathedral. This is a building from the middle of the 18th century, the authorship of which is attributed to the Italian Maricelli. Excavations at the site of the temple revealed that there was a cemetery here earlier. Before its closure in 1930, many valuable church relics were collected here, many of which have been lost. Now the church is active. Admirers of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, connoisseurs and lovers of the history of the Russian state should definitely visit Transfiguration Church located on the outskirts of the city. The place where the temple is located is of great historical value: until the 17th century it was the fiefdom of the Shuisky family, and in the 19th century the Decembrist N.V. lived here. Shimanovsky. You will definitely like the rich interior of the temple, its gilded altar. If you descend from the hill on which it is located, you will find a holy spring discovered at the beginning of the 20th century. The spring bears the name of St. Nicholas, tk. according to an old legend, its location is known for the appearance of the icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. The Transfiguration Church is the only one operating in the city in post-war period... Several more churches are currently active. All of them were closed after the revolution, they housed warehouses or workshops. In the 90s of the last century, many of them were again handed over to believers and began to be revived. Walking around the city, in each district you can see ancient restored temples and small cozy churches. Peter and Paul Church- was built on the territory of a cholera burial as a result of the epidemic of 1831. V late XIX century it was a unique stone building with a cast-iron floor and an oven, a carved wooden iconostasis. Unfortunately, the interior has been lost. However, the modern altar is made, like the first, of wood. Located on P. Zabotin Street. Church of Elijah the Prophet built in 1881. Some parts were built in the 20th century. In the 1930s, the blue dome with gilded stars was destroyed, and the building housed a cinema with the self-explanatory name “The Atheist”. Today the restoration of this temple is coming to an end, it is active.

Ascension Church (built in 1884) is located on the territory of the cemetery beyond the river. Since 1939, a flour-grinding production has been operating here. Now the temple is being restored. It is gratifying that fragments of the original painting have survived under the multilayer whitewash. Such a variety of churches is associated with the faithfulness of the city's residents to Orthodox traditions. The tragic events in Shuya during the persecution of the Russian Orthodox Church in the 1920s and 1930s were not accidental. In 1922, they went to the Resurrection Cathedral to defend church shrines locals, on which they opened fire, there were a lot of dead and wounded. In 2007, a Monument to priests and laity who defended the interests of Orthodoxy in Russia was unveiled at the site of the execution of the fighters for the faith. You will not be able to pass by - you will not find such a monument anywhere else. This work of the modern sculptor A. Rukavishnikov very laconically blended into the centuries-old ensemble of the Resurrection Cathedral.
