Kagalnitskaya land. Previously, in these open spaces, the wind blew the brown lace of tumbleweeds. The hot sun of July and August burned out all living things, in some places gray clearings of bitter wormwood, bright red field poppies and purple candles of blooming bean were visible. Its centuries-old history is covered in legends and epics. She has so much courage and heroic courage, loyalty to her father’s house that you involuntarily bow your head before the sacred events of the past. The past does not become overgrown if it is covered with labor, intense, creative, and never tired.

The village of Kagalnitskaya is one of the ancient settlements located on the current Bataysk-Stavropol highway. It has existed as a post station since the 17th century, or rather, as they say in the “Don Monuments,” before 1663. It became a village in 1809; the Caucasian Highway ran through it to the south.

In order to develop the road, Ataman Platov turned to the Tsar with a request to populate the southern spaces of the military land with Cossack villages and received permission. First of all, a church was built, the ringing of its bells could be heard far throughout the surrounding area. The village was divided into three parts: Zalegaevka, Maznitsa, Rogozhsky Kut - according to the names of rich Cossacks. In 1856, for an unknown reason, the village church and its utensils burned to the ground.

In 1864, there were 360 ​​households in the village with a population of 1,035 males and 1,091 females.

Punishment measures were also used: “standing in the corner”, “being left without lunch”, “dismissal from school”.

Health care was poor. There were no doctors. No medical care it was not available to the population. The main diseases were smallpox, typhus, plague, scarlet fever.

In 1892, a new road was laid to the Caucasus. telegraph line, and from April 1, 1915, the postal station was transformed into a post and telegraph office. In 1909 - 1910 the railway was built. They planned to build a road through the village, but wealthy Cossacks rebelled. They were afraid that this would cause them great damage: the train would slaughter the cattle.

In 1941, at the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, when residents of the village of Kagalnitskaya were digging trenches, a Turkish cemetery was discovered near the trigonometry tower. Several skeletons, bronze and copper medals of the Turkish type were found in it.

Time flies, our village is getting older, but the years only make it more beautiful. Instead of Cossack kurens and kitchens, there are good-quality brick houses of villagers, two- and three-story institutional buildings. The village of Kagalnitskaya is becoming more beautiful, landscaped and beautified. Its center is Budennovsky Lane with administrative buildings and a memorial to the “Heroes who fell in battles for their homeland in the Civil and Great Patriotic Wars.” Much has grown over post-war years buildings: private, houses, communal and departmental apartments, public institutions - such as the board of the collective farm named after.

History of the area

The Kagalnitsky district was formed in 1935 in connection with the disaggregation of the districts of the Azov-Black Sea region on the basis of a resolution of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of January 18, 1935. In 1963 it was abolished, the territory was transferred to the Zernogradsky district. Then the district was restored in accordance with the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR dated October 20, 1980 “On the formation of the Kagalnitsky district in the Rostov region” from part of the lands of the Zernograd and Azov districts.

The district is located in the southwestern part of the Rostov region, bordering in the east with the Zernogradsky district of the Rostov region, in the south - with the Kushchevsky district Krasnodar region, in the west - with the Azov and Bagaevsky districts of the Rostov region. Its area is 1370.24 square meters. km. The length from north to south is 46 km, from west to east 49 km, the regional center is the village of Kagalnitskaya, located 55 km from the regional center - the city of Rostov-on-Don.

The village of Kagalnitskaya is located on the highway of republican significance Bataysk - Stavropol, passing through the territory of the region from north to south (Kagalnik station - on railway line North Caucasus Railway). Founded in 1809 on the right bank of the Kagalnik River. Its initial settlement was connected with the need to conveniently accommodate troops passing through the Caucasus. “Count Platov petitioned for the settlement of this space of the Military Land up to the borders of the Stavropol province along the Caucasus Highway with Cossack villages. Having received permission, he summoned those wishing to move from all the villages of the Don Army. But since there were few willing Cossacks, free people from Little Russia were admitted. With the resettlement to these villages they were transferred to Cossack class" So says an archival source from 1889. Translated from Turkic, “kagala” means a hole, a lowland, and since the place where the village was located was a lowland, they called it “Kagalnitskaya”.

Until Oktyabrskaya socialist revolution The life of the poorest part of the Cossacks and nonresidents was difficult and hopeless. In 1913, in the village there was a two-year school, several elementary schools for girls and the Dmitrievskaya school, where they taught the alphabet and prayers. The number of students in the schools was 310, and 8 teachers worked in them. The teachers were very strict, but respected by everyone. The village had its own paramedic station, which was located in a private house.

Soviet power in the area was established in a fierce struggle. The territory was occupied by Denikin's troops. Liberating the villages, villages and towns of the region, the Red Army in February 1920 captured the village of Kagalnitskaya. On February 20 (March 4), a message appeared in Izvestia of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee No. 50: “The Red Army occupied the village and Kagalnik station.” And on March 9, 1920, a Council was elected in the village.

After the establishment of Soviet power in the region, the population enthusiastically began building a new life. This is evidenced by the approval of the decisions of the 10th Congress of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks by the peasants of the village, published in the newspaper “Donskaya Bednota” on April 20, 1921. On behalf of a group of peasants, Ilya Kononov wrote to the newspaper: “When we, the grain growers of the village of Kagalnitskaya, Cherkassy district, read the resolution of the 10th Congress Communist Party about the need to replace food appropriation with a tax in kind, then everyone had a firm confidence that the Soviet government in the future will always take into account the interests of grain growers.”

Lenin's idea of ​​collectivization of agriculture received wide and active support from the poor and middle peasants. This is what was recorded in the minutes of the general meeting of citizens of the village of Novobataysk on January 10, 1930: “They listened: about the organization of an agricultural artel and the adoption of the Charter (report of agronomist Tokmachev). Resolved: In order to reconstruct agriculture in order to achieve the greatest economic effects and recognizing the importance and timeliness of the measures taken by the government in the matter of complete collectivization of the region, the general organizational meeting of citizens of Novobataysk considers it necessary to organize a large collective farm under the name “Novobataysk Agricultural Artel named after. Ilyich”... with the involvement of the farm laborers, poor and middle peasant masses of the population. The proposed Charter of a large agricultural artel has been fully adopted...” Today, the former artel is a large agricultural firm “Novobatayskaya” in the grain sector.

The first collective farms in the area were: “Forward to Communism,” organized on February 20, 1930, “ New world"and to them. Comintern, which later united into the collective farm “Memory of Kirov”, “According to the Testaments of Lenin” (now the Rodina SEC), and the “Giant of Socialism” (SPK named after Kalinin). On January 1, 1935, there were 24 collective farms, 3 state farms and 1 MTS operating in the region.

The following years were characterized by the organizational and economic strengthening of collective and state farms, the growth of their economic potential, and the provision of agriculture with new equipment.

A significant event in the life of the region was the participation of a large group of farms and leaders in the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition, which opened in Moscow in 1939.

In 1939, an average grain yield of 12.1 c/ha was achieved in all fields of the region. At that time, this was a major victory for the collective farmers. For exceeding plans for the yield of grain and industrial crops, F.A. was awarded the first Order of the Red Banner of Labor in the region. Galichev and D.P. Drozdov, foremen of tractor teams.

The social transformation of villages was manifested in these years in the passionate desire of peasants for culture, acquisition of knowledge, and mastery of technology. In 1940, in the village of Kagalnitskaya alone, 1,268 schoolchildren studied in three schools. In total, 6,323 students studied in 42 schools in the district, and they were taught by 120 teachers. The building was built high school, collective farm clubs, cinemas, house of social culture.

The peaceful work of people was interrupted by the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War. Thousands of area residents went to fight.

The Red Army fought heavy defensive battles in the area. On August 21, 1942, the liberation of the Rostov region from the enemy began. For five long months, the front line passed through this territory; a springboard was created for the offensive and liberation of the region from the Nazis. Gukas Madoyan's battalion approached the village of Kagalnitskaya, the enemy rolled back into the background, pursued by soldiers 159 rifle brigade, 34th rifle division and 6th tank brigade. At dawn on February 2, 1943, Madoyan’s 4th rifle battalion began a battle for the Kagalnik and MTS railway station, the 1st and 2nd rifle battalions, with the support of a tank company of senior lieutenant M.P. Gunko attacked the Germans. The battle lasted almost 4 hours and was distinguished by the ferocity of the doomed fascists. That frosty morning of February 2, 1943 was decisive for the residents of Kagalnichi. Every minute of the battle brought us closer to liberation. Finally, at 10 o’clock, the residents of the village received good news: the territory was completely liberated from the oppression of the Nazi invaders. And from February 2 to 4, 1943, the entire Kagalnitsky region was liberated.

Liberating the village, the commander of the PTR company of the 248th Infantry Division Lukash, armor-piercing soldiers Klochko, Dubenkov, Cheverdov, mortarmen Odinokov, Dzhigangirov, sniper Belyakov, and submachine gunner Dronov fought bravely. In the battle for the railway station, our fellow countrymen, telephone operator M.Z., showed courage. Knyazev. One of the most striking is the feat of I.P. Mospanov, Hero Soviet Union. In 69 sorties, he destroyed 21 enemy aircraft, 33 tanks and more than one hundred Nazis. The fearless pilot gave his life defending our land. The streets of the village bear the names of these heroes.

Among the liberators are the names of major military leaders: Lieutenant General V.F. Gerasimenko - commander of the 28th Army of the Southern Front; Lieutenant Colonel A.I. Bulgakov - commander of the 159th Special Rifle Brigade; M.I. Krichman is the commander of the 6th Guards Tank Brigade. We also remember the ordinary workers of the war, soldiers and officers who bore the brunt of the fighting on their shoulders: machine gunner Vasily Gritsenko, senior lieutenant Ivan Pavlovich Krivolapov, our fellow countryman. The company he commanded was the first to break into the village. Among the liberators was a local school graduate, Vladimir Mikhailovich Kolesnikov, who later became a Hero of the Soviet Union and did not live to see victory. Time will not erase from memory the feat of the people who won the cruel war.

The youth of the region carefully collects and preserves relics of the Heroes of the Soviet Union who studied at the local Kagalnitskaya secondary school: I.P. Slavyansky, V.A. Zhukov, V.Ya. Tkachev, I.M. Gordienko.

The war scorched the villages and farmsteads of the region. Collective farms were looted and many buildings were destroyed. The damage caused to the area by the Nazi invaders reached 98 million rubles. Main building The high school building lay in ruins and ruins, the other two buildings stood in boxes - without windows or doors. Building primary school was wiped off the face of the earth by a bomb. The bridge over the Kagalnik River was blown up.

It is difficult to name a more selfless time in history than the years of post-war reconstruction. It took several years of intense work to restore and exceed the pre-war standard of living. It was a feat. The feat of people exhausted by the war. A feat that was not reported by the Information Bureau and the victorious fireworks over Moscow. The silent and modest daily feat of working people.

It was during these post-war years that the first Heroes of Socialist Labor appeared in the region - M.G. Molchanov - unit of the state farm named after. Williams and G.T. Denisov is a combine operator at Kirov MTS. In 1956, a Book of Honor was established for leaders of socialist competition. Among the first names in it are T.M., who worked on the Stalinets-6 combines. Molchanov, who harvested grain on 298 hectares and threshed 6422 centners of grain, V.N. Nesterenko, who threshed 4,642 quintals from 233 hectares, foreman of tractor brigade No. 14 K.G. Naretya - his team developed 4341 hectares of soft plowing, harvested 502 hectares of grain crops with a yield of 21 c/ha, electric welder V.Ya. Vorobyov, who fulfilled shift standards by 130-170 percent, electrician N.F. Golik, who produced 130-140 percent of the norm.

By 1959, the number of cattle increased to 28 thousand heads, while in 1941 there were 18.7 thousand, cows - 11.9 thousand instead of 7.1. On April 1, 1960, the region had a large detachment of machine operators: 290 tractor drivers, 91 combine operators, 120 drivers.

Significant changes occurred during the tenth and eleventh five-year plans. Never before in history have the village of Kagalnitskaya and other settlements in the region been built up as much as they have been recently. During the eleventh five-year plan, twice as much housing was commissioned as during the entire tenth five-year plan. In 1984 alone, 285 apartments were built. Especially high-quality housing was built on the state farms “Vishnevy” and “Kagalnitsky”.

In 1984 there were 39 in the area secondary schools, music school, 10 houses of culture, 15 libraries, 4 hospitals with 210 beds, 23 first aid stations.

The workers of the region respond to the concerns of the party and government with hard work. They strive to more successfully implement the Food Program. Agricultural lands of the district occupy 126,315 hectares, including 113,302 hectares of arable land and 8,524 hectares of pasture, 2.7 thousand hectares are irrigated. The district collected 32.8 quintals of grain per hectare.

High productivity is one of the main indicators of grain-growing skill. Stable increased yields, especially winter crops, are achieved by the collective farm “Memory of Kirov” under the leadership of Viktor Maksimovich Rekus (1971-1998). In 1975, the yield of grain crops on the farm was 45 c/ha, sunflower – 25, fodder crops – 300. For these indicators, the collective farm was rightfully awarded the title “Farm of High Agricultural Culture”; Victor Maksimovich awarded the order Badge of Honor, Order of the Red Banner of Labor, and in 1984 - Order of Lenin. Collective farmers did not slow down in subsequent years, achieving high results not only in grain production, but also in the production of milk, meat, and eggs. At the end of each year, the collective farm “Memory of Kirov” was awarded the challenge Red Banner of the CPSU Central Committee, the Council of Ministers of the USSR, the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions and the Komsomol Central Committee, for many years it held the Red Banner of the Rostov Regional Committee of the CPSU, the regional executive committee, the regional trade union committee and the Komsomol regional committee, and became a permanent participant in VDNKh in Moscow. In those years these were high and respected awards. The title “Honored Agronomist of the Russian Federation” is given to the chief agronomist of the collective farm, Ivan Prokofievich Ocheret. In 1985, the Pamyat Kirov collective farm harvested an unprecedented harvest of grain crops - winter wheat produced 85 centners, sunflower - 30 centners per hectare. And the chief agronomist I.P. Ocheret receives the Order of the Red Banner of Labor, and two years later, for new record results, the Order of Lenin. The name of the famous combine operator, Honored Mechanic of the Russian Federation Grigory Ivanovich Netreba has a special place in the region. In three years, he becomes the owner of a full set of VDNKh awards, is awarded the Order of Friendship of Peoples, and for success in work becomes a laureate of the USSR State Prize, the entire amount of which he transfers to the Peace Fund. But he does not rest on his well-deserved laurels, but consistently achieves new achievements. Thus, during the 1983 harvest, he produced 6,078 centners of grain from the bunker of his SK-6 “Kolos” combine, against a seasonal norm of 4,500 centners. And in 1987 he received his third Order of the Red Banner of Labor. Looking ahead chronologically, we note that in 2015 he was awarded the title “Honorary Citizen of the Kagalnitsky District.”

Productivity was also high in animal husbandry. Livestock breeders of state farms “Kagalnitsky”, “Rostovsky”, named after. Williams, "Lenin's Way", named after. Kalinin, “Memory of Kirov” reached the milestones outlined in the Preparatory Program and became permanent participants in the Exhibition of Achievements national economy. If we evaluate the activities of the largest, as we now say, “city-forming” enterprises in the region, then this period should be called “the time of leaders.” Many of them were so bright, unconventional, able to ignite, organize and lead people.

Over the many years of history, a whole galaxy of outstanding leaders stood at the helm of the Kagalnitsky district: Kushnarenko Nikolai Ivanovich - first secretary of the Kagalnitsky District Committee of the CPSU (1980-1982), Borovlev Alexander Mikhailovich - chairman of the Kagalnitsky District Executive Committee (1980-1985), Borodaev Viktor Vasilyevich - Chairman of the Kagalnitsky District Executive Committee (1985-1986), Bogdanov Gennady Andreevich - First Secretary of the Kagalnitsky District Committee of the CPSU (1982-1991), Chernobaev Viktor Vasilyevich - Head of the Administration of the Kagalnitsky District (1992-2000), Gurov Alexander Ivanovich - Head of the Kagalnitsky District district (2000-2005), Nikolai Andreevich Miroshnikov - Chairman of the Kagalnitsky District Executive Committee (1986-1992), Head of the Kagalnitsky District (2005-2010). These are really leaders capital letters who made an invaluable contribution to the formation and successful development of the region, and above all, to improving the well-being of its residents.
