On the border of Crimea and Kherson region. there is the famous Perekopsky shaft. It stretches at a distance of 7 km from Karkinitsky Bay to Sivash. To protect it, 3 fortresses were erected. The most fortified was Or-Kapu. It was surrounded by several ditches. A fragment of its wall, which is located near the bay, has survived to this day. Its thickness is approximately two meters. The wall is characterized by perfectly smooth masonry and is striking in its strength. The depth of the ditch in some areas reaches 15 meters. The outskirts of Armyansk are fraught with many Scythian burial mounds.

Sights of Armyansk (Crimea)

• Perekopsky shaft.

This is a fortification that separates the peninsula from the mainland. The length of the Perekop shaft reaches 8475 meters, the width near the base is 15 meters. It looks like a moat with a rampart, which in ancient times was filled with water. This allowed merchant ships and patrol ships to cross the Black Sea and enter the Sea of ​​Azov. But over time, the depth of these seas in the isthmus region became unacceptable for such solutions. At the moment, the shaft is no longer capable of fulfilling the role of the “Suet Canal”.

The Perekop Wall acts as the main gate of Crimea, which was destroyed by war and time. Their appearance is no longer as impregnable as before. But even today, Perekopsky Val remains the main attraction of the peninsula and continues to amaze tourists with its scale.

• Bastion Sivashsky.

The structure has a hexagon shape and is located on the banks of the Sivash. At the base of the building is a rectangular platform without a parapet. The fragments of ceramic products found here allow us to make assumptions that the creation of the fortification took place in the 16th-17th centuries. The structure acted as an artillery defense center for a long time.

• North Crimean Canal.

It originates from the Kakhovka reservoir, stretching to Kerch. Its length reaches 402 km, and its capacity is 300 m³/sec. The width of this channel is 150 m with a depth of 7 m.

With its help, water is supplied to Sudak, Kerch, Feodosia, and villages in the Simferopol region. Most of the canal walls are located at a sharp angle. It is also worth noting that the walls are lined with concrete slabs. They are so slippery that, once in the canal, getting out of there will be very problematic.

• Museum of History and Local Lore.

The local celebrity of Armyansk is the museum. In terms of area and number of exhibits, it is not inferior, and in some moments even surpasses the Simferopol Museum. Once here, you can become more deeply acquainted with the history of the northern city of Crimea. The Armenian Museum even became the winner of an all-Ukrainian competition, which was held to determine the best public museum in Ukraine.

It has 6 exhibition halls dedicated to getting to know the city, the Great Patriotic War, the Civil War, nature, the history of the Titan plant, and getting to know the history native land. In particular, household items in the form of dishes and tools that have been preserved from the time of the Khanate are presented here. All of them were found near the Perekopsky shaft.

Climatic conditions and weather features of Armyansk

The city is concentrated in the steppe zone, which has a dry and hot climate. True, the heat is diluted by the presence of vast water areas. Despite the fact that Armyansk is located on the Perekop Isthmus, the sweltering heat is softened by the coolness coming from the Sivash inlet and the Black Sea. Due to this, the air here can boast of the presence of mineral elements such as magnesium, iodine and bromine.

The average temperature in July is around 22 degrees plus. In January, the weather in Armyansk is also not characterized by low temperatures, since it never drops below minus 4 degrees. Precipitation falls mainly in autumn and winter. As for the summer season, it is mostly dry.

This is what the city of Armyansk is called by those entering the sunny peninsula, as well as by local authors, talking about the history of this ancient city. And there is something to brag about: the city is even older than the capital of Crimea - Simferopol. It was founded at the beginning of the 18th century by Armenians and Greeks who moved from the Or-Kapu (Perekop) fortress: when choosing the location, they took into account its convenient position for trade. That is, the city could be considered even older if it were located on the site of its now destroyed ancestor.

Evliya Celebi may have embellished the ancient castle when he wrote:

This stronghold rises to a height of twenty-three arshins. Its circumference is three thousand steps, and on the walls there are 800 battlements - for it is a double citadel. It looks like a pentagon, and next to it are twenty high quadrangular towers... The commandant of the castle and five hundred seimens with guns are young Greeks. The Tatars do not know how to shoot guns and are afraid. There are also five hundred Tatar horsemen in the castle, unusually warlike...

And in 1827, James Webster described his entry into Crimea:

Towards the middle of the day we arrived at Perekop. Here we first met the Tatars, who appeared before us in the form of a caravan of hundreds of carts. Some of them were harnessed to oxen, and some to camels. These people never grease the wheels. The creaking of one of them can be endured; but the noise of four hundred carts was absolutely tormenting. At the same time, the Tatars sang, there was another one who blew a cow’s horn; In addition, saws were sharpened in each van, which completely complemented the concert. Tatars, in their black sheepskin caps and oriental clothes; camels clinging to both sides of the road, numerous bustards walking everywhere, promised us adventure and extremely interesting pictures around.

Thanks to this geographical location Perekop has always been of great strategic importance. Became rich in ancient times trading city due to salt deposits located nearby. The notes of Pliny the Elder of the 1st century describe in detail Perekop and the Perekop Isthmus under the name Taphros (from ancient Greek - perekop), and mention a fortress with a large protective rampart.

His convenient position for trading matters was also noticeable. And the city became known from the middle of the 18th century under the name Ermeni Bazaar (that is, the Armenian Bazaar). And already in 1921 it was renamed Armyansk, and it began to be considered a city only in 1993 (thus, Armyansk is the youngest city in Crimea). There is a version that the name of the settlement does not come from the nationality of its inhabitants, although what should we do with the local natives - the famous composer Alexander Spendiarov and seascape painter Emmanuel Magdesyan?

When entering Crimea, in addition to the traffic police post, you can see and even take a photo against the background of the huge Crimean coat of arms - the griffin. Nearby is a memorial sign dedicated to the launch of the North Crimean Canal (the idea of ​​its construction appeared even before the revolution), and admire the widest and deepest Crimean “river” - this canal itself, which is more than 200 times more powerful than the Salgir...

The city itself is small - about one and a half by one and a half kilometers, consists mainly of five-story buildings from Soviet times. But there are 4 secondary schools, a sports school, a music school, a vocational school and even two branches of institutes, a swimming pool, a football club, etc.

The museum in the city of Armyansk is also a local celebrity. Last December, the museum received a call from Kyiv and said: “You are the best!” So the museum of a small town with a population of 27 thousand took first place. Despite the fact that it had as many as six thousand competitors, among whom there were many worthy ones... We also appreciated this museum, which in terms of area and number of exhibits is no less, and maybe even larger than the Simferopol Museum. Here you could learn a lot about the history of this northernmost city of Crimea.

City of the living and city of the dead

What struck me most was that a huge number of people were buried in the city itself and around it - it turns out that there are more of them than the inhabitants of the city itself. In addition to the city cemetery and the Eternal Flame, near which many soldiers of the Soviet army are buried, there are also brotherly cemeteries near the Turkish Wall...

For the first time, the Russian army under the command of Vasily Golitsyn approached the Perekop fortress during the Crimean campaign of 1689, but the assault did not take place. The first assault and successful capture of Perekop took place during the 1736 campaign by an army under the command of Christoph Burchard Munnich. In Perekop there was a garrison of three thousand Ottoman Janissaries. After the army reached the Perekop fortifications, on May 21 Minikh gave the order to storm the ramparts.

The assault troops crossed the ditch and, using pikes and slingshots, scaled the wall. Having entered Crimea, the Russians occupied Gezlev (now Yevpatoria), Bakhchisarai and Akmechet (near Simferopol), after which the army returned to Perekop and left Crimea.

The second capture of Perekop took place on July 10, 1771 under the command of Prince Vasily Mikhailovich Dolgorukov-Krymsky, known for the fact that he was later governor-general in Moscow and to whom an obelisk is dedicated in the very center of the Crimean capital. After the annexation of Crimea to Russian Empire Perekop became the center of the district of the Tauride province.

And already in 1920 a new assault took place. The Wrangel troops installed more than 70 guns and 150 machine guns on the earthen embankment; the approaches to the rampart and the ditch were surrounded by barbed wire. And twenty kilometers south of the rampart, the second line of defense was fortified - the Ishun positions. The Red Army stormed the fortifications of Wrangel’s Russian Army on Perekop - at the same time, the conductors of the assault group through Sivash were I. Olenchuk, A. Petrenko, T. Kolomiets and others local residents. By November 9, Perekop was taken and the city was practically destroyed. Subsequently, the village of Perekop appeared nearby, named in memory of the destroyed city.

The next battle for Crimea began on April 8, 1944 with the main attack on the bridgehead on Sivash. Soviet troops had to overcome powerful enemy defenses in the area of ​​Perekop, Ishuni and Sivash. Hitler's command had previously convinced that “Crimea is under lock and key. There is no such force in the world that would be able to break through the German defenses on Perekop and Sivash.”

But the troops of the 4th Ukrainian Front managed to break through the fascist defenses in three days of battles and entered the territory of Crimea. Having heard about the breakthrough of Perekop, Germans from all over Crimea began to sharply retreat to Sevastopol. As residents of Simferopol said, in the middle of the performance at the Russian Theater, the Germans began to whisper, get up and leave. Thus, with the storming of Perekop, the victorious liberation of the peninsula from the fascist invaders began.

Typically, tourists are brought to only one place on the Turkish Wall - where the German fortifications were broken through. But for the whole day they drove us around the entire seven-kilometer isthmus and showed us: here was the city of Perekop, and here Catherine the Great passed through, here they were stormed in 1920, and here in 1944. And everywhere - monuments, mass graves, thousands of buried ...

In Soviet times, they did not allow a monument to be erected on the site where the soldiers of the Russian army who fought on this side in 1920 were buried, but now such a monument has appeared. However, hatred of the fascists is, as they say, “in the blood” of the residents. Here they wanted to erect a monument near the bodies of the Germans found here, but the Armenians became a wall and did not allow this to be done. So the unfinished cross lies lying near the Turkish Wall, and the bodies of the dead lay for a long time in plastic bags in the local museum, until they were taken to the cemetery in Goncharnoye near Sevastopol...

A touch: some local foolish officials ordered to install a large poster with the inscription “May you have mercy!” next to the Turkish Wall, where thousands of soldiers are buried! Is there a greater mockery of the fallen?..

The fabulous life of the "Crimean Titan"

In these difficult times, the residents of the northern city are very calm and look forward with optimism. They know that they have their own breadwinner - the titanium dioxide plant. It is known that titanium is a “space metal”, light and durable. But only five percent of titanium ore goes into space. Its main use is as a dye. This is mainly titanium white; in addition, it is used in the production of rubber products, in glass production (heat-resistant and optical glass), as a refractory (coating of welding electrodes and coatings of casting molds), in cosmetics (soap, tooth powder).

The map in the plant museum shows that almost half the world buys dioxide from our plant - the USA and Australia, India and Brazil, almost all of Europe.

The plant is located ten kilometers from the city and the location for it took a long time to choose back in Soviet times- so that the wind blows less towards the city and there are no harmful emissions. The enterprise is located in the northern part of the Crimean peninsula on the coast of Sivash, not far from its border with the Kherson region and occupies an area of ​​4?785 hectares.

The decision to build it was made on December 28, 1969. First, in 1971, a complex for the production of ammophos (a valuable fertilizer) was put into operation, in 1973 - aluminum sulfate and liquid glass, in 1974 - red iron oxide pigments, and by 1978 two workshops for the production of pigment titanium dioxide were launched. The closed joint-stock company "Crimean TITAN" was created on August 31, 2004 on the basis of a state joint-stock company and the financial capital of the shareholder represented by the company "Ostchem Germany GmbH", which is controlled by Group DF of businessman Dmitry Firtash.

Journalists, of course, were interested in how hazardous production affects the lives of its residents, what national composition workers and much more. “We don’t keep statistics,” local residents said, but at our plant there are many long-livers who work not just in the office, but in the most hazardous workshops and have no plans to retire...”

The composition of the plant is multinational, and it was interesting to learn about the fate of the “chemists” we encountered at the plant back in Soviet times. This word was used to describe conditionally released prisoners who spent the rest of their sentence not in a colony, but working at a similar chemical enterprise. So, many of them, having served their sentence, continued to live here: what more could you want - Crimea, the sea nearby, workers were given housing and then apartments. So the “chemists” remained chemists.

Titanium dioxide is made from ilmenite, brought from the city of Irshansk, Zhitomir region. The production process itself was depicted in a picture book in the form of a children's fairy tale: “Ilmenite challenged Sulfuric Acid to a fair fight... the Chemist heated up Sulfuric Acid, how it attacked Ilmenite, tearing it apart, separating Iron from Titan.” This is how young “Armenian men and women” get acquainted with the life’s work of their parents.

But the main thing is that the enterprise makes money; the Titan cinema and concert palace, two libraries, a swimming pool, the Titan football center, Centers for children's and youth creativity and culture and leisure, etc. have already been built in Armyansk. The youngest and northernmost city of Crimea continues to make its contribution to the life of the peninsula...
