Biography of the city of Saransk

The history of Saransk is the story of Saransk, the year of the founding of the city, attractions, hotels, entertainment, reviews of guests of the city. The history of Saransk as a city, as a direct occurrence, “laying of a stone” and the construction of the first building - the Saransky prison, not very ancient, this is a little more than the years. But it is saturated, beautiful, diverse.

This is war and trade, development and status, fall and revival, it is science and historical personalities, architecture and change of power. This is the story of the name, the history of the people, the history of life. Saransk simply could not be called otherwise. True, the original name is somewhat different, with the colorful note of antiquity - the locust. The place for the future city was saturated with the name "Sarah".

The very word "sarah" from the ancient Horde, Finnish, Estonian, Karelian and other languages ​​of the Finno-Ugric group is interpreted as a marshy area, a clogged territory. Saransk was originally surrounded by large and small sars - swampy areas, floodplains, because it was located in the web of rivers. The rivers themselves also have the root of the SAR. The City River Insar, the Saranka Previously Sarley, which flows into it.

The terrain was also famous for the grouse, their abundance, and from the Mordovian grouse - "Sazhratsurt". There are Tatar backgrounds: yellow and here the yellow color “sarah” prevailed, and the evil, marshy, feverish - “Zaran”. What else to be called the center and the capital, earlier, the fortress of the Mordovian Republic, if not the "SAR" ANSK.

The beginning of the history of Saransk is quite trivial and traditional, but the development is very unusual. This place was chosen in the city not chaotic, but according to the strategy, as part of the atemarsky sequence feature of the fortifications of the southeast of the Moscow kingdom, its outskirts along the Belgorod-Simbirsk line. At first there was, as a trade is: they sold grain and hemp, wood and skin, meat and honey.

To increase Byrysh, residents from the military became skilled artisans. The handicraft single production turned into mini factories: leather, waxy, salotopic, candle, glue. One of the significant events for Saransk was a visit by Pugachev in Saransk Pugachev managed to fall: he gave free people, released the working ordinary people from prisons, planting objectionable ministers of the church, noblemen, officials, merchants.

A lot of them were even executed. City barns were devastated, salt and grain were heard to peasants, work people, and the poorest layers. The considerable Pugachev managed to correct in the city in just a month, on July 30 he had to leave Saransk, the next day there were already royal troops in it, which was conducted by Count Mellin. Quickly brought the order that was legalized then, eliminating indignation and rebellion.

But from that visit in Saransk there were many Pugachevsky places, in particular the Pugachevsky tent, with which his “royal manifestos” were read, in which Emelyan Pugachev held feasts. The Slobodic scheme in G was replaced by a rectangular typical street network with a strict web of squares, and quarters. Then the city was built up according to the new plan of Catherine II. Churches, temples, stone buildings, terrace separation of the city appeared.

Saransk also suffered a lot from a series of devastating fires in the 19th century, but like a Phoenix, each time rebelled and rebuilt. And the constructed Moscow-Kazan railway at the end of the century spurred the development of the city as a powerful center of production and trade. The period of the revolution and Soviet history of Saransk differs little from similar pages of life of other cities, which felt the breath and grip of the Soviet period.

However, the revolution is noteworthy in that more than a third of the city’s population was soldiers, and the general mood was progressive, craving for changes. In Saransk there was the first in the history of Mordovia-the organization of a social democratic orientation. The first caustic progressive newspaper V. Today the colorful capital of Mordovia is revived, embellished and developing.

The city several times became the prize -winner of the All -Russian event "The most landscaped city of Russia." But in general, modernity is not a story. Modern Saransk will better tell about himself on his own, when there is time to walk along the streets of the Mordovian capital. Search for the hotel.
