In the “Small Towns” section today is the final station of the Baikal-Amur Mainline. This is Sovetskaya Gavan, Khabarovsk Territory. This city was built by both Gulag prisoners and Japanese prisoners of war. And jars of red caviar are placed right on the sidewalks.
This is the real edge of the earth. The Baikal-Amur Mainline ends here. And everything here is Soviet. Here is the Sovetskaya Hotel. Nearby is the Sovetsky restaurant. After the collapse of the USSR, the authorities wanted to rename the city. But the locals decided to leave former name- Sovetskaya Gavan, colloquially - Sovgavan.
“Why change? Sovetskaya Gavan is Sovetskaya Gavan. It was built during Soviet times. She must be remembered,” says one local resident.
“Because of the Imperial Harbor it will not be very beautiful, the laconic name is Imperial Harbor. Not very nice. Sovgavan is better,” adds another.
Imperial Harbor is the first name. The village on the shore of the Imperial Bay was built back in the 19th century. After the revolution the bay was renamed.
In Sovetskaya Gavan you cannot go to the shore of the bay. There is no embankment. There are fences all around, behind them there is a cargo port, repair facilities, and warehouses. And almost like everything Soviet - destroyed and abandoned. Ships rarely enter the harbor. Both of the once city-forming enterprises—the ship repair yards—went bankrupt a long time ago.
Summer reaches Sovetskaya Gavan only in September. And until mid-October the sun will shine here. In the central city square this time is running brisk trade. The market is illegal and spontaneous. And the product—pink salmon and chum salmon caviar—is poached.
Next to the caviar they sell an amazing berry - klopovka. She's a redneck. She is a smoker. Found only here and on Sakhalin. Jams and syrups are made from these juicy, sweet-sour berries with a very specific smell. Nina Yakovlevna collects and sells bugs herself. This year there are few berries, so they are expensive - 250 rubles per glass.
Nina, resident of Sovetskaya Gavan: “He went into our forest - where this berry is, it smells of smoke. That’s why they call it the smoker.”
For Korean steamed pies pian-se, the main thing is size. They were brought here from Sakhalin, and there from Korea. As befits Korean food, they are very spicy. For 29 rubles they are offered by cafes and stalls in Sovetskaya Gavan.
Galina, seller:“The dough is steamed yeast dough, inside there is meat and cabbage. And on top there is a carrot for decoration and flavor.”
To the culture and traditions of neighboring Korea and China, which easily take root on the shores of the Tatar Strait, Sovetskaya Gavan enthusiasts are now trying to add the memory of the Orochi culture. These people have long inhabited the local hills.
And now there are only 8 real orcs left. The rest - almost three hundred who joined them, as the head of the center of ethnic culture Ina Akunka says - have mixed roots: not only Oroch, but also Russian and Ukrainian. But they also want to receive benefits from indigenous peoples.
Ina Akunka, director of the Kia Hala Center for Ethnic Culture: “Now there’s more everyday life - that is, where you can catch fish, how much meat you can get... It’s become a little more scary.”
Ina Fominichna is a fisherman herself. In winter he goes hunting. He can shoot a hare and a sable. But in her city special work: preserve the culture of our ancestors. Kia Hala translated into Russian - “ motherland" The center hosts photo exhibitions and sews national costumes. They also collect a collection of outfits from neighboring peoples.
Promoting Orochi culture and dreaming of attracting tourists to the region, Sovetskaya Gavan developed a program with dances and national treats.
In the local history museum of Sovetskaya Gavan in Lately also took up the Orochi culture. A real camp is being built here. The director of the museum is Natalya Vlah. She herself is Russian, and the museum was once created by her father.
Natalya worked as a teacher all her life, but last year she decided to continue the family business. Next spring he plans to build several huts and caches and arrange a place for national dances. This will help tourists in Sovgavan to see and understand how the Orochi lived. And in this hut a maternity hospital has already been recreated.
Natalya Vlah, director of the local history museum of the city of Sovetskaya Gavan: “During this period, it was believed that a woman was unworthy to be with everyone. This is a woman's dirty period. She lived alone and gave birth alone. The husband walked around the hut and drove away wild animals. She survived - God forbid, the child survived - God forbid. No means no".
Sovetskaya Gavan in different years built either by Gulag prisoners or Japanese prisoners of war. This cobblestone road to the sea was built by Japanese workers. She is still in excellent condition.
Today in Sovetskaya Gavan they dream of a flow of tourists - not only from Russia, but also from neighboring China. They want to turn the edge of the earth into a reserve of the national Oroch culture and traditions of the Soviet Union.
And they really want large ships to moor here again. Sovetskaya Gavan is one of the best in the world. It is protected from the wind on all sides. And so deep that ocean-going ships can moor close to the shores. Sovetskaya Gavan has only one drawback - getting to it is difficult and takes a long time. From almost everywhere.
In the latest issue of Literaturnaya Gazeta (No. 42 (6389) (2012-10-24) I read an article by Viktor Maryasin about Sovetskaya Gavan in the Khabarovsk Territory. A unique region! I was born in this city. In February 2010 “ Literary newspaper"talked about the special role of the small port city of Sovetskaya Gavan (Khabarovsk Territory) in a key geopolitical direction. The prospects for the Soviet-Havana coast around the unique natural harbor seemed to become clearer when, in response to the question of whether Russia needed a modernized northern access to the Pacific Basin, a government decree was issued on the creation of the country's first port special economic zone (POEZ) near this city.
Residents of the Amur region began to hope that in the near future a strategic gate with a highly developed industry, a powerful transport network and an inexhaustible sales market in Asia, Australia and America would open in the Tatar Strait. And production and export natural resources they'll wake you up on BAM new life in currently depressed cities and towns. In addition, the high-speed updated highway is an additional guarantee of economic and military security for a huge region...
But without people, any plans at this strategic crossroads are doomed to failure. Meanwhile, last year there were two hundred fewer births in the Sovetsko-Gavansky district than deaths. Several hundred more scattered across the country and the world in search of a better life. In general, there are many times more people who want to move from here, at least to Khabarovsk, in search of a better life, than there are people who want to stay. The trend is extremely alarming, since all the local residents are just over forty thousand. In the Vanino district, where, unlike the Sovetsko-Gavansky district, powerful investors have already arrived, suitcase sentiment is also making itself felt, as I am convinced of in conversations with local residents. — People like me succeeded in selling Japanese used foreign cars, which, together with the car service, fed every fifth person in Vanino. But with the rise in import duties, everything collapsed,” businessman Sergei is indignant against the backdrop of two cottages he is building in the village. Sergei invested the profits from the auto business into creating a large shopping center, but he is not delighted with Vanino, although I really liked the village. He decisively rejects the idea of getting involved in politics: “I’d rather go somewhere to Indonesia, open my own hotel there and spend the rest of my life under the palm trees.” But an ordinary intelligent housewife point of sale, introducing herself as Elena, is drawn like a magnet to Khabarovsk with his cultural centers. True, qualified young specialists are moving from Khabarovsk to Vanino. For a good salary and separate housing. Both are offered to them by 34-year-old entrepreneur Vadim Moskvichev, who has created three industrial manufacturing companies and about a hundred jobs. We talked frankly with him. He has ambitious plans and no desire to “dump” somewhere. A lot is changing in Vanino - an ice palace is being built, a house for forty young families, whole line social facilities, in other villages of the district - new swimming pools, schools, roads, boiler houses, kindergartens... And yet, despite the efforts made, over the past two years the number of people in the district has decreased by almost four thousand souls, which is one in ten.
I’m going to the village of Toki, where in 2010 I observed coal being unloaded with a giant cloud of dust. A nurse at the village outpatient clinic, Ekaterina Ovchinnikova, compares the Soviet past and the market present: - The fourth pier, where the terminal operates, was a favorite vacation spot - with a beach, berries, mushrooms and a forest that shaded Toki from the winds. Now there is nowhere to rest, coal dust is blowing from the pier, there is a dirty sea all around, and in winter there is black snow. - But there are more jobs... - Yes, but the same dockers do not get much money and cannot provide themselves decent life. Anatoly Samorodov, head of the administration of Toka, is also not yet delighted with Dal-trans-coal: - Representatives of the company promised help to the village and clean ecology. But the environment deteriorated, and the village received only a few million from Daltransugol. major renovation houses and some things Maintenance. I can’t help but compare it with the American Exxon, which donated more than $20 million for infrastructure comparable to Toki De-Kastri as compensation for an oil terminal ten kilometers from the village. We can only hope that Dal-Transugol and the Vanino port, as their management assured, will soon introduce safe technologies with minimal damage to nature. And that our companies will catch up with American companies in generosity. On the other hand, exporters pay duties and taxes and, strictly speaking, do not have to sponsor anyone... As for Siberian coal, the volume of its export through terminals near Vanino will only grow. The head of the Sovetskaya Gavan-Orod station, Viktor Mokrov, sadly says that there are a lot of people who want to receive cargo on the rails, but almost everything is taken by the coal miners. Suppliers of food and consumer goods found themselves on the side of the railway, forced to sue Russian Railways over and over again due to disruption of supplies of goods to the population... The investments of large companies in it depend on whether Russian Railways redirects some part of the cargo flow to Sovetskaya Gavan. Otherwise, China will pave its own way. Some capital liberals propose to give the entire territory along the BAM as a concession to foreign companies. Of course, the Japanese or Chinese will quickly make candy out of BAM, but for local residents and for all of Russia, such a scenario would mean the actual loss of sovereignty over the Far East. Self-respecting countries develop their infrastructure using their national capital. It’s time for the state to bring state monopolies to life, to return large and small companies with domestic pedigree from offshore companies to Russian jurisdiction, because today almost all large companies in Vanino and Sovetskaya Gavan are offshore. In the meantime, under the pressure of taxes and energy tariffs, the owners of the only ship repair company in the PSEZ are ready to sell it to foreigners. Regional officials did not extend the lease of berths to another enterprise of the same profile in order to redirect them to foreigners.
Any famous port abroad is not only berths, but also the aura of local attractions. Sovetskaya Gavan is surrounded by amazing protected nature, a beautiful seaside landscape, and the district administration has developed a tourism program, from fishing to skiing, in order to create conditions for a good rest for local residents and guests. The region is in favor of ensuring that the coastal strip of the bay is not tightly blocked by piers and that a significant part of it is occupied by forest parks and tourist areas. The old-timers of Sovetskaya Gavan have not yet forgotten how flourishing their area reached by the end of the 80s, when ship repair, fishing, construction, and transport enterprises worked in the same rhythm. And the population grew steadily. Pseudo-reforms demolished much of what had been created over decades. It has not yet been possible to completely stop this decay. People are not blind. Seeing the outrages happening, many give up and leave, exposing the Far East. Moreover, official propaganda does not consider the Slavs to be indigenous people here. Indigenous status is granted only to small nationalities, although the Slavs came to the Amur with Khabarov, and according to archaeologist Okladnikov, settled in the Amur region much earlier than the Mongols and Tungus. That is, the Amur lands are as primordial for us as Smolensk and Tver. It’s time to learn this truth and write it into the Constitution.
