Uglich Reservoir
Uglich Reservoir is in historical region ancient Russian appanage principalities - Uglich And Kashinsky. These historical places inhabited since such antiquity have many historical and architectural monuments. But at the same time, these places always remained a “bear corner”, where they took refuge from the plague and enemy raids. Cultural center In the 17th century, the region became the Makaryev Monastery, destroyed in the 20th century. communist barbarians. Over such a long period of life of our ancestors, the nature of these places has not lost its beauty. Even after communist construction, it flourished even more. The Great Volga does not overflow here wider than 5–7 km (the widest overflow is Sknyatinsky Plyos), but on its sandy banks and with picturesque pine islands, The Volga still impresses any person who is not indifferent to beauty.
The Uglich reservoir is located within the Kimrsky, Kashinsky and Kalyazinsky districts of the Tver region, and ends in the Uglichsky district. This is a channel-type reservoir, stretching for 146 km. Its main part is located on the territory of the Tver region, and a small part, almost at the dam itself, is in. On the banks of the reservoir there are quite a few major cities– Kimry, Kalyazin and Uglich. When creating Uglich reservoir About 100 villages and villages, 30 city and rural churches, one of the largest monasteries were flooded architectural ensembles Russia. Everyone knows that business card Kalyazin today has become a bell tower, proudly standing among the Volga waters, which was never blown up when creating the reservoir.
The reservoir was created in 1943 during the construction of the Uglich hydroelectric station in order to obtain electricity and water supply to cities and towns in the Kalinin (now Tver) and Yaroslavl regions, as well as for the development of shipping and fisheries. The reservoir was formed by flooding the Volga floodplain and partly the floodplains of the rivers flowing into it. Therefore, it has an elongated shape in the direction of the former bed of the Volga. The area of the reservoir is 24.9 thousand hectares (249 sq. km). Total capacity 1245 million cubic meters. m, useful - 809 million cubic meters. m. The width of the reservoir reaches 5 km.
It has the greatest depth along the main channel of the Volga. The greatest depth at the dam site is 23 m. Average depth is 5.5 m. A large area is occupied by shallow waters with depths less than 5 m (36% total area). In the spring, the reservoir is filled with melt water, and the water level in it rises significantly. In the summer, periodic water flows are carried out at the hydroelectric power station, the water level fluctuates, and currents arise accordingly. The operating mode of the hydroelectric complex also greatly influences the flow regime in the lower reaches of the rivers flowing into the reservoir. In autumn and especially winter, the water level in it drops by 2.2 m as a result of the operation of the hydroelectric power station.
Many rivers flow into the Uglich Reservoir. Right tributaries: Dubna, Hotcha, Pechukhnya, Volnushka, Nerl (Volzhskaya), Zhabnya. Left tributaries: Medveditsa (the largest and deepest tributary), Kashinka and Puksha.
The reservoir is home to 29 species, typical of the Volga basin. The main ones are bream, roach, silver bream, bleak, burbot, ruff, the secondary ones are ide, dace, chub, asp, tench, gudgeon, sabrefish, crucian carp, podust, bluegill, catfish. Commercial fishing is carried out in the reservoir. On average, 200 tons of fish were caught, including 43% bream, 46% roach, 7% perch, and the remaining species accounted for less than 1%. Amateur fishermen also catch a lot of fish - about 200 tons per year. Commercial fish productivity was 5.2 kg/ha, and taking into account recreational fishing - 13.2 kg/ha. Over the last decade, the fish productivity of the Uglich Reservoir has decreased by almost 3 times. Fishing on the Uglich Reservoir attracts a lot of fans.
The reservoir is conventionally divided into three parts: the Upper (downstream), the narrowest, located from the Ivankovskaya dam to the mouth of the Medveditsa, the middle - to the village of Priluki and the lower, deepest, occupies the dam zone.
The first tributary, the Dubna River, flows into the Volga on the right about ten kilometers behind the Ivankovskaya dam. The waterway from Dmitrov to the Volga once passed along it. The length of Dubna is 167 km. At the mouth is the Ust-Dubna estate, which belonged (in the 19th century) to the princes of Vyazemsky. The manor house and church (1837) have been preserved. The estate was restored through the efforts of the Eye Microsurgery MNTK (as well as the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary in Rozhdestveno). Beyond the mouth of the river. Dubna begins in the Kimry district of the Tver region.
The right bank of the Volga on the way to Kimry is wooded and sparsely populated, and on the left, along the highway, villages are quite common. Large villages of Prislon on the right bank, Bogunino on the left and others. In addition to the usual farming, local residents have a traditional woodworking trade. Even in ancient times, the production of wooden spoons, lasts for shoemaking, and, consequently, artistic wood carving was developed in these parts.
The regional center is the city of Kimry, located at the confluence of the Volga river. Kimerka. City - since 1947. The population is about 60 thousand people. Kimry is an ancient center of shoe production in Russia. Kimryaks wore shoes for a significant part of the Russian population and the Russian army. All-Russian shoe fairs were held twice a year. At the beginning of the 20th century. Kimry is one of the most commercial and industrial villages in the Tver province. The Kimra Intercession Cathedral and the Trinity Church were the most magnificent and grandiose rural churches in Russia (destroyed in 1936). The business center with buildings in the Art Nouveau style (early 20th century) contrasts here with kilometers of one-story and two-story houses. Two churches (19th century) have been preserved in Kimry. The city has a theater, a local history museum with a magnificent collection of wooden figurines by master M.P. Abalyaeva. Kimry land is the birthplace of A.A. Fadeeva and A.N. Tupolev. The city includes the right bank villages of Savelovo and Yuzhny. Savyolovo is the final point of the electrified Savelovskaya railway. The right and left bank parts of the city are connected by a road bridge (1978).
On the section of the route from Kimry to Bely Gorodok, on the banks of the slowly flowing Volga, groves and hills, colorful and mixed-grass meadows, and the tops of churches flash from time to time. The right bank of the river is higher, sandy, with steep slopes and beaches, the left bank is lower, meadow, with small pine forests and deciduous forests.
On the approach to the village of Beloye on the right bank of the Volga there was previously the estate of the hero of the Battle of Borodino, General Shatilov. Now here stands on a hill the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker (1838) - the only surviving building of that time here - and nearby is a three-tier bell tower, a monument in the style of Russian classicism.
Near Bely Gorodok, the Hotcha River, which has a very wide funnel-shaped mouth, flows into the Volga on the right. About 3 thousand people live in the village of Bely Gorodok located here. Once upon a time there was a city here, founded by Yuri Dolgoruky, which then turned into an ordinary village. The white stone fortress has long been destroyed. On the spit, at the confluence of the Hotcha and the Volga, stands the Jerusalem Church with a bell tower, built in the style of classicism (1812–1825). The hero of the Patriotic War of 1812, General D.S., was born and lived in Bely Gorodok. Dokhturov. Near the village there was an estate where, according to legend, Boris Godunov was born. The Moskovsky cargo fleet winters at the mouth of the Khotchi river shipping company. Ship repairs during the winter period are carried out by the local shipbuilding and ship repair plant, which employs a significant part of the residents. On the left bank is the Sosenki pier – once “ green parking lot" For cruise ships. Great place for picnics, swimming, walks, sports entertainment. In July–August, near Bely Gorodok, autotourists populate and litter all the banks of the Volga with their campsites.
Behind Bely Gorodok, forests come close to the banks of the Volga - pine forests and birch groves, which, along with sandbanks and a leisurely flow, make the Uglich Reservoir very picturesque.
The Volga is getting wider. There are no longer any campsites for autotourists to be seen; you can only get here by boat. The shores become low, swampy, islands appear. Dams protect the land adjacent to the riverbed from spills. The villages are remote from the river and can only be reached along dirt roads, from big land They are also separated by deep winding bays formed in place of tributary valleys that were flooded when the reservoir was filled. The Volga Valley here is not wide - about 1 km and its banks were limited by the river overflow during the construction of the dam. Only at the mouths of the Medveditsa and Nerl rivers, which have turned into bays, do the banks part to a width of up to 5 km, only here do you understand that this is after all a reservoir, and not just the Volga River.
Before the Volga was transformed into the Ivankovskoye and Uglichskoye reservoirs, in low-water years, small motor ships plied from Uglich to Tver for only 10–12 days, and even then only in the first half of the summer. The river in this section was replete with shoals, boulder rapids and whirlpools. Only in the area between Kimry and Kalyazin there were 16 shoals and riffles. What has not been done to improve shipping conditions! The banks of the Volga bristled with numerous dams, water-stressing walls and semi-dams. For their construction, old barges that had served their time, and matting coolies stretched on stakes were used, but most often wooden shields and fascine, that is, made from a bunch of rods, fences were used. The Medveditskaya shoal near the mouth of the Medveditsa River, the Sukharinskaya shoal near the village of Sukharino and many others, which caused so much trouble for the river workers, disappeared forever into the depths of the reservoir. Today, all that remains of the coastal villages are elevated areas that have become islands, while the lowlands are covered with water. On islands and shores overgrown with birch forests, stove stones, gates, locks, door hinges, etc. are often found.
In ancient times, the Bear served as a border river between the Vladimir-Suzdal Principality and the Novgorod Republic. At the mouth of the Medveditsa, where there is now a small island, there used to be a shore on which once stood a fortified town of Novgorod merchants who used the river as a natural route to the Volga. Here, at the mouth of the Medveditsa, in 1148 the united troops of the Kyiv and Smolensk principalities and Novgorod went to war against the Vladimir-Suzdal principality. Having not met the resistance of Yuri Dolgoruky, the combined troops burned cities and villages on the banks of the Volga from Uglich to Mologa and took away 7 thousand prisoners. The mouth of the Medveditsa today is a wide bay, in which there are many islands that were the highlands of the left bank before the reconstruction of the Volga. Not far from the mouth of the Medveditsa there was the possession of Prince Saltykov. It was here, as popular legend says, that Boris Godunov was born and often visited during his reign.
Downstream on the right, the Nerl River flows into the Volga. This river in XII - XIV centuries was an important trade route that connected the city of Pereslavl-Zalessky, a major military and economic center, with the Volga ancient Rus'. The path from Lake Pleshcheevo, where this city is located, to the Volga went along the Vekse River, through Lake Somino and further along the Nerl River flowing from it. Just above the mouth of the Nerl, between two railway bridges over the Nerl and Volnushka, there is a small station called Sknyatino. This is all that remains of the ancient Russian city of Ksnyatin, founded in 1134 by Yuri Dolgoruky. There are also other names of the city: Kosnyatyn, Konstantin, Sknyatyn. The fortress was located at the confluence of the Nerl River into the Volga, on a high bank, surrounded on all sides river water, forests and swamps. However, the city was very vulnerable in winter time years, since the enemy regiments walked precisely on the ice.
In the chronicles of 1148, Ksnyatin is already mentioned as a serious fortress on the border of the Vladimir-Suzdal principality and the Novgorod lands. The fortress city had an important strategic importance in those days. In 1216, Sknyatin was ravaged by the Novgorodians. In 1238, the city stood on the Mongol-Tatar ice route and was destroyed. In 1288, as a result of princely civil strife, Ksnyatyn was burned again. In 1399, according to the will of the Tver prince Mikhail Alexandrovich, Ksnyatin passed to his grandson Ivan. The next mention in 1459 is found in the chronicle as a village. But even this is trouble Sknyatina did not end: during the construction of the Uglich reservoir, both the village and the earthen fortifications remaining from the fortress city were flooded. Thus, today all that remains is the railway station of the same name with a dozen houses, and an island on the Volga. But for many lovers fishing on the Uglich reservoir starts with Sknyatino . Because of the famous fishing base Sknyatino.
In the village of Novookatovo, located downstream of the Volga, since 1750 there has been the estate of the Russian writer, playwright and educator D.I. Fonvizina (1745–1792). The estate building has not survived. On the site of the writer’s former estate, today there is a holiday home “Fonvizino”.
In front of the Kashinsky railway bridge, in a grove on the right bank, there is a chapel - this is the village of Nikitskoye, known since 1520 from the charter of Prince Yuri Ivanovich about granting the monastery the villages of Isakovo, Fedyushino..., Smertino and Nikitskoye. Since the 90s XVIII century the village of Nikitekoe belonged to the landowners Ushakov, with whom in 1827 - 1830. was friendly with A.S. Pushkin, who, according to popular legend, although not confirmed by any documents, allegedly visited the village. Nikitsky. A bust of the poet is installed here.
Chapel of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God in the village. Nikitskoye was erected in the summer of 2002 on the site of a building that existed here from 1785 until the end of the 1930s. Church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. According to confessional paintings, gender. XVIII century: “Previously there were two churches: 1) Preobrazhenskaya, 2) Nikitskaya.” According to the information about the Church of the Kazan Mother of God with. Nikitsky Kalyazinsky district for 1890: “Built in 1785, with the diligence of parishioners. The building is made of stone, with the same bell tower - it is strong. There are three thrones in it: the first in the name of the Kazan Mother of God - cold, the second - in the name of the Transfiguration of the Lord and the third in the name of the Great Martyr Nikita - warm. There are enough utensils, the sacristy things are mediocre, they are in order and clean.” Church in the village Nikitskoye was dismantled at the end of the 30s of the twentieth century before being flooded by the waters of the Uglichesky Reservoir in 1940. There was a cemetery next to the church, which has survived to this day. Many residents of the village are buried there. Nikitskoye and villages of the parish. Many of the Ushakov family of landowners are also buried there.
The idea of building the chapel belongs to Alexander Alekseevich Kolosov from Kalyazin, who, after an injury, lost the ability to move. When seven long years of training did not lead to anything, he remained confined to a wheelchair. But he retained the strength of spirit and the desire to be useful people. He began to look for his place in life until he realized that he wanted to tell everyone about his beautiful land, about himself and the people around him. Then canvases, brushes, and paints appeared in the house. Thus, the meaning of all the activities of Alexander Kolosov was the return of the memory of what was lost. Over the past fifteen years, he has painted dozens of paintings depicting Kalyazin churches. Sat over old yellowed photographs from the local local history museum, examining every detail through a magnifying glass, and meticulously recreated the appearance of the temples in all their former splendor. Gradually, with the help of his brush, all the churches of the Kalyazin region came to life: both those that are now in a dilapidated state, and those that were completely destroyed, went under water, like the city of Kitezh, during the construction of the Uglich hydroelectric station. While working on images of lost churches, he dreamed of restoring temples in reality. That’s how the artist decided to build a chapel in the village of Nikitskoye, on the site of the destroyed Kazan Church. Kolosov’s idea might seem impossible, but this man has the gift of igniting a spark of enthusiasm in people. Like-minded people and philanthropists appeared, and within a year and a half, a brick chapel on the high bank of the Volga was built, decorated with mosaics and paintings. On September 22, 2002, the dean of the Kimry district, Archpriest Evgeny Morkovin, performed the rite of consecration of the cross installed on the dome of the chapel. On July 29, 2003, after completing the painting of the chapel inside and outside, it was consecrated by the Archbishop of Tver and Kashinsky Victor. The interior paintings are made using the alfresco technique on the theme of the lives of Macarius Kalyazinsky and Anna Kashinskaya.
According to the so-called Kashinsky railway bridge A railway runs through the Volga from Savelov to Kashin, Sonkovo, Vesyegonsk. The bridge was built back in 1920 according to the design of engineer F.N. Mamontova. Immediately after the bridge on the left, the Kashinka River flows into the Volga. From the height of the Kashinsky Bridge there is a magnificent view of the islands, forests, and the mouth of the Kashinka River. It is here, next to the huge power transmission towers standing in the water, carrying lines of powerful wires over the Volga, that you can especially clearly imagine the scale of the change in the Volga bed. After the bridge, the Volga forms a steep arc, on which, before the flooding, the large village of Ustye Kashinskoye and the Sergievskaya estate were located. In the village of Kashinskoye-Ustye there was the Church of the Intercession, built in 1782, wooden, cold, 3 thrones: the main one of the Intercession Holy Mother of God, 2nd Prophet Elijah, 3rd Mary of Egypt. At this church, 100 sazhens away, a warm stone single-altar church of St. Nicholas was built in 1893. Today there is a large reach of the Uglich Reservoir. Near the spill you can see the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary (1732), built by the heirs of the Kozhin boyars, who owned the surrounding lands back in the 15th century. After the creation of the reservoir, the lower reaches of Kashinka turned into a wide bay of the Uglich Sea, and the city of Kashin, located ten kilometers above, became a river port.
The ancient Russian city of Kashin, the regional center of the Tver region, is located upstream on the banks of the Kashinka and its tributaries, on green hills between winding rivers and spills. The population is about 20 thousand people. Kashin was first mentioned in 1238 among the cities devastated by the hordes of Batu. Since 1317 – impregnable fortress capital of the appanage principality with rich history. In 1426 it was annexed to Tver, and in 1485 to Moscow. In 1609–1612, the run-down Kashin was destroyed by the Poles. From 1775 – county town Tver province. In the XVIII–XIX centuries. – trade, craft and religious center. Thousands of pilgrims from all over Rus' flocked to Kashin to venerate the relics of St. Anna Kashinskaya. Since 1884, Kashin became a balneological resort. A.P. lived in Kashin. Kunitsyn, professor of the Tsarkoselsky Lyceum, teacher A.S. Pushkin, and E.A. Lavrovskaya, singer, professor at the Moscow Conservatory. The Dmitrovsky, Sretensky, Nikolaevsky-Klobukov monasteries and many churches have been preserved in Kashin.
As if under pressure from Kashinka, the Volga makes a sharp turn to the right and heads towards Kalyazin, almost the same ancient city, like Kashin, another traditional center of the shoe industry, in particular boot-felling production.
The city of Kalyazin is the regional center of the Tver region. The population is about 15 thousand people. Kalyazin is located on right side a sharp bend of the Volga, at the confluence of the river. Toad. Opposite the city center, a bell tower rises 70 meters above the water, once standing next to St. Nicholas Cathedral, which was destroyed. Trade area The city on which the cathedral stood was flooded, and the bell tower, miraculously preserved, became the hallmark of Kalyazin and serves as a landmark for navigators. A settlement on the site of modern Kalyazin arose in the 12th century. In 1454, the Trinity (Makaryevsky) Monastery was founded on the left bank of the Volga. In 1466, the well-known Tver merchant Afanasy Nikitin visited the monastery for a blessing for his journey across the three seas. Ivan the Terrible visited Kalyadin more than once and donated the Gospel to the monastery. In 1610, the Russian-Swedish army under the command of M.V. Skopin-Shuisky defeated the main forces of the Poles and Tushins near Kalyazin and lifted the siege of the Trinity Monastery. Kalyazin was a prosperous trade and craft city on the Upper Volga. Shipbuilding, blacksmithing, boot felting, and lace making flourished here. In 1938–1941, during the construction of the Uglich hydroelectric complex, most of the city was flooded, the Trinity Monastery and St. Nicholas Cathedral were destroyed. Many residents were sent to the Karelo-Finnish Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. The city has lost its former glory and significance. Today in the city the Epiphany Church beyond the river has been preserved. Zhabnya and two more temples, as well as several interesting houses. The Kalyazin land is associated with the names of many figures of Russian culture: Pallady Rogovsky, M.N. Ermolova, D.I. Fonvizin, I.A. Krylov and M.E. Saltykov-Shchedrin.
After Kalyazin, the Volga again turns sharply to the northeast. Eight kilometers from the city, the reservoir flooded the village of Gorodishchi, located on the left bank of the Volga, with the temples of the Epiphany (1896) and Alexander Nevsky (1865). The name of the village indicates the existence of a fortified town in this place. Excavations in 1939 showed that this place was inhabited in ancient times by tribes of the “Dyakovo” archaeological culture of the early Iron Age. What could it be - the Volga estate of local landowners or the legendary Svyatoslavl Field, where in 1339 the Tver prince Alexander Mikhailovich said goodbye to his relatives, setting off on the fateful journey to his death in the Horde?.. In general, within the Kalyazinsky and Kashinsky districts, completely 32 villages went under water and 8 partially, and 12 churches were destroyed in the flood zone.
Fifteen kilometers from Gorodishchi, near the village of Priluki, the river crosses the border Yaroslavl region. In the village, above the left bank of the wide Volzhsky reach, the Church of the Nativity of Christ (1758) rises, marking the historical Suzdal-Novgorod, and then Moscow-Tver border. At the beginning of the 15th century, the Nativity of Prilutsky Monastery was located on this site, which arose in the Uglich possessions of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra. Here part went into the water ancient cemetery, where the monks and peasants of the monastery estate found rest.
After the reservoir was flooded, the mouth of the Puksha River turned into a large bay. In the village of Krasnoe there is the Resurrection Church (XVIII century). And in the village of Knyazhevo there is the Smolensk Church (1842). In the village of Kotovo there is the Assumption Church (1807). In the village of Novoselki there is the Grekhozaruchenskoe ancient settlement of the beginning of our century.
The Uglich hydroelectric complex, which includes an earthen and spillway dam, a hydroelectric power station building and a single-chamber lock, was built in 1940. It was he who formed the Uglich reservoir. Above the gateway - triumphal arch in honor of the victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War 1941–1945 Sluice dimensions: 210x30x5.5 m. head 12 m. Passes over the lower gate of the sluice highway. To the left of the waterworks, on the outlet canal, stands the Grigorievskoye estate. There is one local property associated with this estate. According to him, Catherine II, when visiting Uglich, was introduced to a local landowner, Lieutenant General Grigoriev, with whom she connected her secret calculation. Grigoriev was supposed to play the role of the “father” of young Olga, the illegitimate daughter of the late Elizaveta Petrovna, in order to exclude her possible claims to the throne. It was decided to marry Olga to the leader of the Uglich nobility N.A. Suponyeva. For Grigoriev, as a dowry for his “daughter”, a palace was built with Catherine’s money. Grigorievskoe is a good example of estate architecture of strict classicism. In front of the palace there was a park with gazebos and ponds. Now the estate is in disrepair, and a sluice canal has been laid through the park. Behind the Uglichesky hydroelectric complex, having dropped 12 m in it, the ships enter the Rybinsk Reservoir on the Volga. The city of Uglich, stretching along the right bank of the steep Volga, is located on the banks of this reservoir.
The city of Uglich is the regional center of the Yaroslavl region. The population is about 39 thousand people. One of the oldest cities in Russia. Known since 937, it was first mentioned in the Ipatiev Chronicle in 1148. Since 1218 it has been the capital of the Uglich appanage principality. In 1238 it was destroyed by the Mongol-Tatars. In 1329 it was annexed to Moscow. In 1584, according to the will of Ivan the Terrible, it was given as an inheritance to his youngest son, Tsarevich Dimitri, who was the last appanage prince in Rus'. The death of Tsarevich Dimitri in Uglich on May 15, 1591 had a huge impact on future fate Russia. In 1608–1611 the city was destroyed by the Poles, the population was almost completely destroyed. Since 1777 it has been a district town in the Yaroslavl province. IN Soviet era In Uglich there was a watch factory "Chaika", known throughout the USSR, as well as a scientific research institute for butter and cheese making. On the territory of the Kremlin, the chambers of Tsarevich Demetrius (1480), the Church of Demetrius “on the Blood” (1683), and the Transfiguration Cathedral (1713) have been preserved; on the territory of the Alekseevsky Monastery - the unique “Wonderful” Assumption three-tent church (1628) and the Church of John the Baptist (1681); on the territory of the Epiphany Monastery - Epiphany Cathedral (1827), Fedorovskaya (1818) and Smolenskaya (1700) churches; Resurrection Monastery (1674), churches of the Nativity of John the Baptist (1690), Kazanskaya (1788), Korsunskaya (1730), monuments of civil architecture of the 18th–19th centuries. The city beach is located on the territory of the Kremlin. There is a boat station. On the embankment, a variety of souvenirs are sold for tourists.
Almost along the entire Uglich reservoir runs railway line Savelovo-Uglich with a branch in Kalyazin to Sonkovo.
IN late XIX century, the Moscow-Yaroslavl-Arkhangelsk Railway began construction of the Upper Volga railway radius. In 1900, the Moscow–Savelovo line was put into operation. Traffic to Kalyazin was opened only in 1919. Since 1920, regular communication with Rybinsk and Vesyegonsk began, and in the mid-30s traffic was opened to Uglich. Finally, the construction of the Ovinishche-Mga line, completed in the 50s, made the Savelovskaya branch a reserve backup for the Moscow-Leningrad railway. For a long time, the Savelovo station was used for transshipment of cargo onto flat-boats, from where they were transported along the Volga to Rybinsk and then transferred to barges. Since 1940, after the implementation of the “Big Volga” master plan as a result of the construction of the Ivankovsky, Uglich and Rybinsk hydroelectric complexes, the Volga became navigable to Tver, thus, the need for transporting large cargo along the Savelovskaya branch disappeared.
In 1978, the Verbilki–Savelovo section was electrified, which made communication with Moscow by electric trains possible. Further, Savelovo movement is carried out on diesel traction. Suburban service has been organized with Kalyazin, Uglich, Kashin, and Sonkovo by “working” trains with diesel traction.

The members of our feeder team have long had an idea to take a break from bottom fishing at least in winter and get out somewhere to fish from the ice. The choice fell on the Uglich reservoir.
R fishing on the Uglich reservoir was completely unfamiliar to us, so we decided to take with us the entire arsenal of gear - float rods, jigs, “devils” and other evil spirits. Before leaving, I carefully studied the map of the depths of the reservoir, downloading it from the Internet.
WITH Judging by the map, the section of the Uglich Reservoir where we planned to fish was simply replete with promising places for finding fish. This is a channel with depths of up to 19 m; and dumps on which a predator can fatten; and extensive irrigation with a depth of 5-6 meters, where a wide variety of fish come out to feed; and various mounds and pits. Having received the location, I combined it with satellite photographs of the area (they are also available on the Internet) and developed a proposed route for searching for fish.
P The first thing I did was to use satellite photography to find a characteristic landmark on the opposite bank, which can be visually detected from the point of access to the ice, and in the direction of which there is a maximum number of promising fishing spots of various types. Then I drew a line on the resulting map from the place where I came out on the ice to a landmark and entered into the GPS navigator all the interesting points that were located on it. Then I measured the distances between promising places in case the navigator for some reason did not work or began to show a large error (this also happens). Now, knowing the distance in meters between the points and having a landmark on the opposite bank, it will be possible to reach them without an electronic assistant.
P Why did I try to fit all the interesting points into the line? Everything is simple - so that, without scattering around, you can purposefully search along it, and thus save time and effort. The line is drawn in such a way that it intersects almost all elements of the relief that seem promising.
Selection of ice drills for fishing on the Uglich Reservoir.
P The crucial point was choosing the “right” ones. Since we were going to a new reservoir for exploration, it was obvious that we would have to drill a lot of holes. We armed ourselves with Nero ice drills from VOLZHANKA. They drill both dry and water-soaked ice equally easily, and if something happens (anything can happen in exploration - you can “get into the bottom”) - the knives are easy to replace. Spare parts are inexpensive and widely available. In addition, the steel from which the knives are made is such that one hit on the bottom, if it is not stone, will not render them unusable. The knives were taken for hole diameters of 130 and 150 mm, since, first of all, they were counting on white bream and bream. At this point, the main preparations for the departure were completed.
N Our team arrived at the site the evening before fishing on the Uglich Reservoir. Together, over a cup of evening tea, we discussed a map of the depths of the Uglich Reservoir and developed a plan to search for fish. My friends planned to fish the channel drop, which runs almost immediately from the right bank, from which we will go out onto the ice. The bottom is there, according to received from local population information, pebble and gravel, and you can expect bites on it predatory fish. They decided to fish with a balance beam and a jig with a nozzle. I decided to cross the channel and try to feed the white fish at several points at once: in the channel at the bottom of the dump, at the exit to watering - on the upper edge, on the nearby “navel”, and behind it, in the depression between the “navel” and the rise of the bottom to the opposite bank. We agreed that if we don’t immediately detect fish activity at the feeding points, we won’t sit idly by - we’ll look for luck around with the “devil” and the balancer.
U three, like the heroes of the famous Gaidaev film, “acted according to a pre-planned plan”: my friends remained near the shore to fish for the nearby riverbed dump, and I went towards the marked point, to the other side of the riverbed - to the “Black Stones”. Having reached approximately the place where the ascent from the riverbed for irrigation was supposed to begin, I began to drill holes and measure the depth.
Depth gauge for winter fishing
I I use . It is a trolling fishing rod with the whip removed and a 0.3 mm fishing line wound around the reel. The outermost 20 m of fishing line every meter are marked with silicone stoppers, used in feeder rigs as stoppers for feeders during sliding installation. These stoppers move along the line with strong friction, and therefore hold quite tightly in their places, marking the meters. They are quite small and do not interfere with the line passing through the first ring, which is located on the fishing rod near the reel.
N
and at the end of the fishing line my depth gauge has a large loop connected to it, into which you can attach both a load (also known as a release) and a feeder. Having drilled a hole, I press the reel brake release button, slow down the spool with my finger, and the sinker freely sinks to the bottom, dragging the fishing line with it. How many stop-marks went under the water - such is the depth in this place.
D Quite quickly, having drilled a dozen and a half holes located on the same straight line that I drew on the map at home, I found all the depths that interested me. At the bottom of the slope the depth turned out to be 13 m, at the top - about 5 m. Between these two points there is approximately 25-30 m of ice. Then, after 100 meters, as expected, there was a deepening of up to 6 m, after which the rise began again, continuing to the shore. The bottom was clayey everywhere and quite soft. Once the points were roughly located, I drilled 4 control holes around each to make sure I didn't hit the dump itself or some local change in depth. Yes, we had to drill a lot, but the ice drill did not let us down - it confidently bit into dense ice and did not require much effort when working.
Baiting holes for fishing on the Uglich Reservoir
Z
Having finished with the measurements, 
I started feeding the selected points. The bait I used was the simplest: a mixture of equal parts of clean small (not estuary) feed bloodworms, UNIBAIT “Mole-Premium” soil and small breadcrumbs interspersed with multi-colored large pieces from the same company.
M Some people use “dirty bloodworms” rather than a mixture of bloodworms and soil. In my experience, this is not the best solution. Mud is silt, the composition of which may not be liked at all by the inhabitants of other bodies of water. And such bait may not only not attract, but also scare away the fish. Therefore, I prefer to purchase bloodworms and soil separately.
G I don’t buy the first one I come across, but I choose it. If it contains earthworm waste, then in itself it is attractive to fish, and if it also has a good black color, it will darken the bait as a whole and provide a contrast at the bottom with large particles of crackers. I dropped a feeder of this mixture into each hole. I fed two on the riverbed: one immediately under the dump, the second 10 m from it, where it was a little deeper. I fed the next hole at the very edge of the edge, another one at the top of the “navel”, and two in the recess behind it.
X I would like to dwell in more detail on one small, but important nuance feeding After the feeder has sunk to the bottom, you should carefully lift it so that it does not open, hold it above the bottom for a while, and only then shake it out. The fact is that the feeder does not have the most best shape from the point of view of hydrodynamics, and when lowered it necessarily moves away from the vertical. The magnitude of this deviation can be quite significant, and then the bait will end up away from the fishing point.
Fishing on the Uglich Reservoir
P After feeding, I installed a float rod in each of the selected holes. The attachment is a bunch of bloodworms. Knowing from experience that there is usually no bite right away, I decided to go for a run and look for fish in the surrounding holes with a “devil”. Having passed all the unfed (auxiliary) holes sequentially along the line, I recorded several careful “pokes”. And although it was not possible to hook anyone, this gave us hope that there were fish here. About 30-40 minutes passed. It's time to check if the fish is suitable for bait. On the riverbed we managed to catch only a jack-o'-lantern. On the edge I caught a 70-gram perch. But in the holes drilled above the depression, bream were pecking. The conclusion suggested itself - you have to fish there! I report the situation to my friends who remained on the other side of the riverbed dump. They came across rare perches and brushes there. They set up several girders, but there were no bites on them. I call them to come to me, but so far they refuse to go - they dream of finding their fish themselves.
ABOUT I settle down on one of the catchable holes; white bream are actively biting in it. I catch one, two, five... Gradually the fish becomes smaller, the white bream is replaced by a silver bream.
D I feed the hole. The fish immediately stops biting, but gives away its presence. The float twitches all the time, which means someone in the depths is touching the fishing line. In principle, this is how it should be after supplementary feeding, when a vast “clearing” is richly covered under the hole. At this moment, the fish is not interested in a separate bloodworm. Well, let's leave this hole alone for a while, but for now let's check the rest.
At the “navel”, roaches and silver bream begin to peck at the “devil”. She attacks him viciously, almost knocking the fishing rod out of his hands. At the top of the drop, a perch “hung” on a float rod, and another ruff was caught below. And in the riverbed, someone ate the bait from the hook with impunity. The friends who were looking for fish on the other side of the river give up and decide to move closer to me.
WITH As time goes by, bigger fish come up. It barely fits into holes 130 mm wide. There is no need for wider exploration, and now there is little time left until evening - there is no point in drilling, because the noise will scare away the underbream.
G the depth in the catching hole increases. This is a sure sign that a lot of active underbream, and possibly bream, have gathered at the fishing point, digging up the ground in search of food. With a fairly soft bottom (and here it turned out to be just that), after 6-7 hours of fishing with bait, the depth under the hole increases by an average of 2-3 cm!
AND Every now and then, despite the good bite, I check the hole on the riverbed. And there everything is the same: someone consistently eats the nozzle, but is not detected. To find out what’s going on, one of my friends who was catching a white bream next to me decides to go there. After all, the purpose of the trip is exploration, not fish procurement. After some time, it turns out that a white bream had also come there, to the riverbed. There he bites less often, but there are no small ones and silver bream, which are present in the recess behind the “navel”.
N our third comrade placed several girders in different places relief, using caught roach as live bait. Alas, none of them have worked yet. Meanwhile, it’s starting to get dark, it’s time to go to the shore.
We collect all the caught fish in one bag, and it turns out to be about 10 kg. Very good for fishing in an unfamiliar body of water. The catch includes specimens weighing 500-600 g, but the main fish is bream weighing 200-300 g. Today's bycatch is roach and perch.
The test drive was a success. My tactics of fishing an unfamiliar body of water worked. Now you can go here thoroughly, with an overnight stay and tents, to crush bream - places where you can expect it have been found. At the same time, we will continue to look for exit points of the predator, which this time did not deign us with its attention.
In 1939-40, during the creation of the Uglich reservoir, the old part of Kalyazin found itself in a flood zone; the cathedral was dismantled, and the bell tower was partially under water. Later, an artificial island with a pier for boats was created around the bell tower. Currently, the flooded bell tower has become a landmark of the city and attracts many tourists.
All buildings in the flood zone had to be either destroyed or moved to a non-flooded area. It was impossible to move the stone cathedral and it, like all stone buildings, began to be destroyed. However, one of the enthusiastic architects stood in the way of the breakers, even went to Moscow, but persuaded them to leave the bell tower of the cathedral as a beacon, because the Volga in this place makes a sharp turn, almost at an acute angle. There is, however, a version that the bell tower was not blown up because they simply did not have time before the spring flood, but it does not stand up to any criticism, because the demolition was controlled by the almighty NKVD, they did not blow it up this year, they would have blown it up next year. The version about the shortage of explosives is also untenable, for the same reason.
Another thing is the bell that hung on the very top tier of the bell tower. It had to be removed. We have all seen newsreels where a bell is pushed through the arched opening of some bell tower, and it falls, breaking on the ground. The same thing should have happened in Kalyazin. The bell was removed from the suspension and lowered onto logs placed in the arch opening. And then it turned out that the bell simply did not fit into this opening, either higher or wider than it. Since there was already the highest order not to blow up the bell tower, they did not demolish the tier, but it would take a long time to clear out the arched opening (and the spring flood was just around the corner), it was necessary to lower the bell one tier lower, where the opening is wider. When lowered, the temporary suspension could not stand it, and the bell collapsed onto the logs prepared below. The multi-ton (501 pounds) colossus easily broke through them, as well as all the floors of the lower tiers. It so happened that the bell fell evenly and not rapidly, lingering on each ceiling, and, in the end, it stood on the vault of the bell tower basement, which thought and thought, and also broke through. Clouds of brick dust, some pieces of paper, and chips came out of the open gates of the lower tier, there was a rumble, and the ground trembled. As a result, the bell ended up in a deep basement.
It is clear that the comrades were not ready for such a turn of events. Everything was prepared for lowering the bell, not raising it. It was clear that it was simply impossible to manage before the flood, and they simply gave up on the bell. By the beginning of summer, when the flood subsided, it turned out that the basement was flooded with water. And they gave up on the bell again, now for a long time (it would seem forever, but no). War. By the beginning of the war, the level of the reservoir had reached the design level, and the bell tower was a good 200 meters away from the shore. The base of the bell tower went under a seven-meter layer of water, almost one and a half tiers.
A snow-white needle in the middle of blue waves, it's beautiful, but local residents They were not happy, for them, those who stayed to live in Kalyazin and did not move to another city, the bell tower became a symbol of the murder of the city. And they didn’t favor her. Except, of course, the ubiquitous boys, who immediately swam to the bell tower with the opening of the swimming season. It was they who brought the first rumor that the bell, lying in the flooded basement of the bell tower, was buzzing. These are fairy tales, the adults said, this cannot be. However, it can.
Miracles of the Kalyazin Bell Tower
On a clear moonlit night, at the beginning of June 1941, the bell struck for the first time. The next night the city no longer slept. The bell began to chime. Not often, once every few minutes, but until the morning.
At the beginning of June 1940, the bell began to ring the alarm with rare strokes. But gradually they became more frequent and louder, and on the night of June 21-22 they were almost continuous, spreading even to Kashin, from which Kalyazin is 20 kilometers away. During the war, the bell rang out before the most terrible and powerful battles: the Battle of Moscow, the Battle of Stalingrad, the Battle of Kursk, and before the capture of Berlin.
In August 1945, the alarm sounded on the nights of the 6th and 9th. People didn't understand why until they heard about the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After this event, local party authorities decided to “shut the mouth” of the bell. Divers in 1946 secured the tongue with strong wire. But on October 5, 1948, it rang again on the night of the earthquake in Ashgabat.
The second attempt to silence the bell tower in 1950 ended with illnesses of all members of the diving team, which quickly passed as soon as the expedition members sailed away from this place.
The next very loud alarm sounded in the summer, and then on December 25, 1979, when the troops of the Soviet “limited contingent” entered Afghanistan. After this next warning, the authorities reacted seriously - they sent a team to clear the fairway, which washed the sand around the bell tower, forever burying the restless bell along with the lower third of the bell tower. The shoals were filled from above with a barge full of rubble and stones. This is how the island appeared on the reservoir.
The bell tower among the water is beautiful and sad. After all, once there were streets and squares here, life was in full swing. Kalyazin fell apart. The mouth of the Zhabnya River, which expanded as a result of the construction of the Uglich hydroelectric power station, separated the riverside Svistukha, barely visible in the distance, from the main part of the city. The third part of Kalyazin - the one that surrounded the ancient monastery - disappeared under water.
And earlier, when Kalyazin was not yet flooded, St. Nicholas Cathedral looked like this.
