The history of Russia consists of the stories of its cities, towns, and villages. One of these pieces of the history of the Motherland is the village of Mga.

For reference:

The urban settlement of Mga is the administrative center of the municipal formation Mginskoye urban settlement. The population of the village of Mga is 10,394 people, which is 83% of the total population of the municipality (according to the results of the 2010 All-Russian Population Census, 12,494 people live in the municipality).

The Mginsky urban settlement includes 19 settlements: the villages of Mga, Apraksin, Mikhailovsky, Novaya Maluksa, Staraya Maluksa, Pogostye, Sologubovka and the villages of Berezovka, Voytolovo, Ivanovo, Kelkolovo, Kirsino, Lezye, Muya, Petrovo, Pukholovo, Slavyanka, Sologubovka, Turyshkino .

The area of ​​the municipality is 75,249.89 hectares, which is 1/3 of the territory of the Kirov municipal district.

The settlement lands border on Otradnensky, Pavlovsky, Kirovsky, Priladozhsky and Nazievsky urban settlements, with the Putilovsky rural settlement, with the Kirishsky and Tosnensky municipal districts of the Leningrad region.

Back to basics

The village got its name from the name of the river near which it was formed. The Mga River is one of the most ancient rivers located on the Izhora Upland of the Russian geological platform; it once flowed independently into the future Lake Ladoga. After the formation of the strait connecting Lake Ladoga with the Gulf of Finland - the Neva River, the Mga became its tributary.

The ancient tribes of the Finno-Ugric group once lived on the Mga land: Izhors, Lapps, Vod, Chud (already in the 21st century, archaeologists discovered their medieval burial grounds in the area of ​​the Mga River), Swedes and Finns also appeared in these areas, and Slavs settled.

The name of the river “Mga” and a dozen settlements that stood on its banks are repeatedly mentioned in the Novgorod “Account Book of the Vodskaya Pyatina” for 1500 as “villages at the mouth of the Mga”. The same names are found on maps of the 17th - 18th centuries. In addition, Mga was mentioned at the same time in connection with the “iron production”, which was well developed here. On the Swedish map of the 17th century there are the villages “MujaSu” and “MgaOustie” (i.e. “Ust-Mga”). The name “Muga” or “Mga” is already indicated on maps of the 18th century.

“Muya” and “Mga” translated from Finnish mean “loose earth, loose, loose, weak, shaky soil, sand, crushed stone, gravel, mixture, mishmash.” This interpretation of the name of the river can be explained by the characteristics of the soil through which it flows. The Mga River is winding and often washes away its banks, which, when crumbling, give the water a dark brown tint.

At the beginning of the 18th century, this area, 60 versts from St. Petersburg, became the patrimony of Alexei Volkov, chief secretary of the Military Collegium, the closest assistant to His Serene Highness Prince Alexander Danilovich Menshikov (an associate of Peter I). Based on the name of the wooden Assumption Church, his estate began to be called the Assumption Manor. The Mga River in those days was full-flowing: timber was rafted along it to the new city - St. Petersburg - for construction.

In 1784, Catherine II granted the manor to Count Ivan Antonovich Sologub: he renovated the church and moved his schismatic peasants from Poland and Lithuania to the manor. This is how Sologubovka appeared, which to this day bears the name of the count.

In 1837, the Uspenskaya manor was bought at a public auction by Princess Tatyana Vasilievna Yusupova, who became the mistress of the village of Uspenskoye (or Sologubovka), the villages of Pukholovo, Pogorelushki, Karbuseli, Petrovo, Turyshkino, Lezye, Voitolovo, Ivanovo, Sigalovo, Kirsino and the lands where the station is now located and the village of Mga. At that time, only the rangers’ houses stood on the site of the village.

The Yusupovs are one of the most prominent Russian noble families in terms of origin and wealth. Their ancestor - Murza Yusuf - a descendant of the Golden Horde khans, the father of the Kazan queen Sumbeki (Syuyun-bike), taken prisoner by Ivan the Terrible. Their children and grandchildren served the Russian sovereigns and were repeatedly rewarded with estates for their service and stood close to the throne. Portraits of all members of the Yusupov family were painted by the famous Russian artist Valentin Serov, and for the writer Mikhail Bulgakov, members of this family served as prototypes for the heroes of the story “Khan's Fire.” The family coat of arms of the Yusupov family formed the basis of the official symbols of the Mginskoe urban settlement.

For reference:

In 2006, the Council of Deputies, on the recommendation of the administration, decided to approve the official heraldic symbols of the Mginskoe urban settlement - the coat of arms and flag.

The coat of arms is based on a fragment of the family coat of arms of the Yusupov princes - former owners these lands.

The figures of the coat of arms in allegorical form symbolize the history of the village.

The golden rising lion - a sign of the historical entry of these lands into the Yusupovs' possessions - symbolizes strength, courage, bravery, bravery.

The arrow is a symbol of the former hunting grounds of the Yusupovs and the Uspenskaya manor (Sologubovka) and a symbol of development from a small railway station lost among the forests to a modern urban settlement that emerged after the end of the Great Patriotic War.

The golden winged wheel is a traditional symbol of the railway, a symbol of the inextricable connection between the history of the village and the Mga railway station.

The colors of the coat of arms are also symbolic.

Chervleny (red) - the blood of Soviet heroic soldiers who fell here in the battles of the Great Patriotic War, symbolizes courage, love, bravery, courage, fearlessness.

Azure (blue, light blue) - the Mga River, after which the village is named, symbolizes truth, knowledge, honesty, fidelity, impeccability.

Gold - supremacy, greatness, glory, intelligence, constancy, justice, virtue, loyalty, respect, splendor.

Silver - perfection, simplicity, truthfulness, nobility, purity of thoughts, innocence, purity, wisdom, peace.

The flag of the Mginsky urban settlement is based on the coat of arms, in accordance with the traditions and rules of heraldry. It is also the official symbol of the settlement and serves as a sign of the unity of its population.

The last owner of the estate, Princess Zinaida Nikolaevna Yusupova (1861-1939), was smart, educated, artistic, and full of the most charming, heartfelt kindness. “The more heaven has given you,” she said, “the more you owe to others.”

At the beginning of the 20th century, the state bought land from the Yusupovs for the construction of a railway from Obukhov to Vyatka, and in 1901 the Mga railway station was founded. In those years, Mga was part of the Lezyensky (then Pukholovsky) volost of the Shlisselburg district. Before the start of railway construction, this area was entirely wooded (the centuries-old pine forest survived until the Great Patriotic War and was only destroyed by the Nazis during the war). The forest abounded in various animals, birds, mushrooms and berries. Here the summer residents rented 117 and a half acres of land from the Yusupovs. The dacha village was called Yusupovsky.

Iron artery Mgi

The history of the village is inseparable from the history of the construction of the railway station of the same name. The construction of the railway was very difficult, but it was necessary for the state. Before the start of train traffic on the railway under construction, the local population got to St. Petersburg along a single route: from the village of Pukholovo to Lyuban, and then by steamship along the Neva to St. Petersburg.

With the opening of traffic on the Petersburg-Zvanka railway, settlement of the area adjacent to the station began. In 1901, the village began to be built up in a beautiful pine forest. The station then was made of wood and, together with the platform, was lit by three kerosene lamps. In 1905, the first passenger train passed through the station. For railway workers, two one-story residential buildings were built at the station. In the early years, the village developed slowly. Its inhabitants were dominated by railway employees and workers, who were housed in carriages and built one- and two-flat houses in the area of ​​the eastern part of the village.

The constantly increasing volume of traffic led to the construction of a second track in 1912, as well as the organization of intermediate stations - Izhora, Pella, Gory, Apraksin, Zhikharevo, etc. In 1916, the Railway Construction Administration decided to rebuild the Mga station.

From 1901 to 1917, the number of residents of Mga increased from 20 to 200. After the October Revolution, with the construction of railways and an increase in train traffic, the population of the village also grew. In 1918, a seven-year school functioned in Mga, housed in a two-story wooden building opposite the station; post office buildings, a bank, a clinic, and a store were built.

In 1927, along with the formation of the Leningrad region, the Mginsky district was created. In 1929, the first train went to Nevdubstroy, and in 1934 the Mga-Gatchina road was built. In the regional center, the village of Mga, there were 3,000 residents, films were shown in the military registration and enlistment office building, and there was a dance floor and a library in the park. There was a fire brigade, and a trading network was developing. In addition, the Mga station became a major railway junction, through which Siberian grain was also transported to the Baltic ports.

War hard times

In 1941, when Mga turned 40 years old, the Great Patriotic War broke out. In the terrible days of 1941, the name of our village and railway station was recognized by the whole country: the fate of Leningrad was then decided in the battles of Mga. By the end of August, the Leningrad Front was connected to the country by only one railway direction: through the Mga station to Volkhovstroy and Tikhvin. Trying to cut off communications on this line, the enemy subjected Mga to massive bombardments. Fires were constantly burning at the station: the buildings of the village, station structures, derailed cars carrying military cargo and people evacuated from Leningrad were burning. In the most unbearable conditions, the Mginsky railway junction continued to operate - passing a continuous flow of trains with reinforcements and equipment for the Leningrad Front.

On August 19, the Nazis began to bomb Mga, and by August 30, it was completely occupied by them. With the fall of Mga and the entry of fascist troops to the Neva in the Ivanovsky area, the last thread connecting Leningrad with the country was severed...

The Nazis equipped a powerful military hub in Mga, creating a defense line along the Mga River, which they called the “eastern castle” of the blockade of Leningrad. In February 1943, after breaking the blockade and building a railway from Shlisselburg station to Polyany station, the opportunity opened up to establish a railway connection between the city and the mainland. But a large Mga group of fascists controlled the breakthrough zone, and the further advance of Soviet troops on Mga was stopped. At that time, the possibility of an enemy attempt to restore the blockade was not yet ruled out. Therefore, the troops of the Leningrad Front, having gained a foothold on new lines, began preparing for the complete defeat of the Nazis near Leningrad. Only in January 1944 did the offensive of our troops unfold along the entire front from Koporye Bay to Lake Ilmen.

The fascist occupiers controlled the Mginsky district for about 2.5 years. During this time, the entire railway system from the station was completely destroyed. Sapernaya to st. Zhikharevo. All administrative and residential buildings of the village were destroyed to the ground, the park and all the trees were cut down. Part of the population was evacuated, and the remaining residents experienced all the hardships of existence in the occupied territory.

The Germans took many women, children and even old people to Germany and the Baltic states to concentration camps or forced labor. Almost all villages in the occupied territory were completely destroyed and burned. Most of them were wiped out and never reborn. Here is an incomplete list of these villages: Voronovo, Lodva, Pogostye, Vinyagolovo, Karbusel, Mishkino, Gaytolovo, Tortolovo, Sigolovo. Lipki, Pogorelushka, Kelkolovo, Med-noe, Sinyavino, Annenskoye, Arbuzovo, all Estonian farms located in the area of ​​the station. Mikhailovskaya, and there were more than thirty of them.

On January 21, 1944, Soviet troops liberated Mga and began pursuing the retreating enemy. On January 22, the Nazis managed to shell Leningrad for the last time. Already on January 24, the cities of Pushkin and Slutsk (Pavlovsk) were liberated; on January 26, Krasnogvardeysk was taken, after which the entire fascist German Northern Wall of defense collapsed. The siege of Leningrad was completely lifted.

Trains again began to flow through the station in a continuous stream... Our village, not yet having time to move away from the horrors of the fascist occupation, not having time to recover from terrible wounds, hastened to the aid of the Motherland, tightly tying together several of the most important railway directions in order to transport the long-awaited food and medicines to liberated Leningrad, delivering equipment and ammunition to the army advancing on the enemy...

Fifteen formations and units of the Leningrad and Volkhov fronts, which distinguished themselves in the battles for Mgu, were given the name Mginsky by order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. All of them are listed on a memorial plaque mounted on the building of the Mga station station. The newly built street after the war in the Moskovsky district of Leningrad was named “Mginskaya”. The name "Mga" was given to the ship, which was built in Germany at the Neptune shipyard in Rostock in 1960. In the 60s of the last century, the crew of the ship kept in touch with the residents of the village of Mga, exchanging telegrams and arranging friendly meetings both in the village and on the ship.

Risen from the Ruins

After the war, the village was in complete devastation, but despite this, immediately after liberation from the Nazis, the restoration of an important railway junction for the country began. Until today, the railway connection in this territory has great importance for the economy of our country.

Residents of the village of Mga and the entire Mginsky urban settlement do not forget the terrible days of the war and honor the memory of those killed. On June 22, 1972, a monument to the “Warrior-Liberator” was erected in Mga (the original work of sculptors Pyotr Moiseevich Krivorutsky and Larisa Mikhailovna Bryzgalova, now an Honorary Citizen of the Mginsky State Civil Defense). These same sculptors are the authors of the monument to the students of Mginskaya high school No. 34, who died during the Great Patriotic War, installed near the school on May 9, 1973. Already in the 2000s, turrets of T-34 and BT-7 tanks were installed next to the monument to the soldier-liberator. Both towers were found and raised from the swamp by the MGA search team.

Mginsk residents are proud of their cultural and sports traditions. The Mginsk village library, founded in 1934, is the oldest cultural institution in the Kirov region. The cultural and leisure center "Mga", which includes, as divisions, the Sports and Cultural Center "Berezovsky" in the village of Staraya Maluksa, the rural club of the village of Lezier and the cinema service department - the cinema "October", since its foundation in 1959, not only constantly holds mass cultural events, but also provides everyone with the opportunity to pursue interests in various clubs and creative groups. In the 60-70s, a cycling section of a children's and youth sports school operated in the village. Many students and graduates of this school, under the guidance of experienced coaches, subsequently achieved outstanding success. Among them are the Olympic champion of the 1980 Olympics, European and world champion in cycling, Honored Master of Sports V. Manakov. The outstanding achievements of Mga athletes were also noted in athletics. Active work in the field of attracting the population to physical education and sports at in the Mginsky urban settlement continues to this day. Every year, more than 50 competitions, tournaments and sports days are held in the settlement, which are attended by from one and a half to two thousand people. At the end of the year, according to tradition, the best athletes are awarded cups, medals and certificates from the administration of the Mginskoe urban settlement.

With hope for the future

Today the village of Mga is the administrative center of the municipal formation Mginskoye urban settlement of the Kirov municipal district. Since 2005, in accordance with Russian legislation, the settlement has elected a council of deputies, which is a representative body of local self-government. The council consists of 15 deputies who, by voting, elect the head of the Mginskoe urban settlement and, through an open competition, the head of the administration of the Mginskoe urban settlement. Currently, the second convocation of the Council of Deputies, elected in 2009, is working in the settlement. In 2006, for the first time, the Mginskoe State Enterprise municipality’s own budget was formed. This allowed local self-government bodies to independently organize work to resolve issues of local importance in the life of the settlement. Assistance and support in the work of the local self-government bodies of the Mginskoe urban settlement is provided by: the Government of the Leningrad Region, deputies of the Legislative Assembly, the Council of Deputies and the administration of the Kirov Municipal District.

The priority areas of development for local government bodies of the Mginskoye urban settlement are housing and communal services and culture; more than 50 and about 30 percent of their own budget funds are annually allocated for these needs, respectively.

The appearance of the settlement is gradually changing for the better: children's and sports grounds are being built; yards and roads are being repaired; cultural institutions are being repaired and refurbished; Individual residential buildings are being gasified; Emergency housing is being resettled, work is underway to improve electricity, water and heat supply to the population. A good sign of the new times was the appearance of farms specializing in livestock and crop production in the Mginskoye urban settlement.

Last 2012, after approvals from the Governments of the Leningrad Region and Russian Federation The master plan for the development of the Mginskoe urban settlement was approved. An official website has been developed and put into operation - its address is www.mga.lenobl.ru where everyone can find out the latest official news of the settlement, ask questions to local authorities and receive other useful information.

In general, a lot is being done and has been done, but much more remains to be done. There are many problems in the Mginsky urban settlement, as in other settlements in our country. Some of them were “inherited” from the Soviet past, some arose recently. Of course, it will not be possible to solve them all at once, but this work is underway. The formation of the annual budget of the Mginsky urban settlement is carried out by competent administration specialists who, in the process of this work, take into account proposals made by the leaders, deputies and residents of the settlement.

Over its 112-year history, the village of Mga has experienced everything that our Fatherland has experienced - revolutions, wars, grandiose construction projects and political “perestroikas”...

Today, our village and the entire Mginsky urban settlement as a whole have many opportunities for further successful development: a convenient location in the center of the Leningrad region near St. Petersburg, well-established railway and road connections, developed infrastructure, and the availability of land suitable for agriculture.

The past of our village Mga is a history of worthy deeds and glorious memorable dates. Its present is active development. What its future will be depends directly on us - its inhabitants. We, who were born and live on the land of Mga, must try to be worthy of our history, passing on respect and love for our native village to our children and grandchildren, investing our daily work in its development and prosperity.

At a meeting of the heads of leading enterprises of the Kirov district on June 25, a joint meeting of the Board of Directors under the head of the administration and the Public Chamber of the Kirov municipal district of the Leningrad region was held in the Palace of Culture of Kirovsk.

SOCIETY

A domestic gas leak is a dangerous matter!

Many natural gases are a source of danger to humans. However, the most dangerous are methane, city main gas and liquefied petroleum gas in cylinders. They are used in everyday life. If they leak, they cause suffocation, poisoning and can lead to an explosion, so you need to know and strictly follow the rules for using gas appliances, water heaters, stoves and caring for them.

SOCIETY

Children's life safety

Teaching a child safety is not an easy task. But this needs to be done from an early age (a safety culture is formed throughout life). But the most important thing is the parents’ own example. Their safe behavior, compliance with the rules, care, support and protection.

The village of Mga (Leningrad region) is quiet and inconspicuous, not memorable in any way and does not have any outstanding attractions. Unlike other suburbs of St. Petersburg, Mga cannot boast of the thousands of tourists who fill the village every year. And in general, the phrase “Attractions of Mga” sounds somehow wild. But, nevertheless, the village has a rich history and several interesting places.

First of all, the village of Mga is a major transport hub of the Oktyabrskaya Railway. Suburban trains pass through it to Volkhovstroy, Nevdubstroy, Budogoshch, Svir, Tikhvin and so on. In addition, MGA is on the route to Petrozavodsk, Vologda, Murmansk, Kalyazin and other cities of Russia. The entire history of the village is inextricably linked with the railway.

Thus, Mga (village) was founded in 1901 precisely as a railway junction on the Petersburg-Vologda road under construction. But the history of these lands began a little earlier, when these lands were granted to Prince Yusupov. And the name of the village, according to one version, is an abbreviation for the name Maria Gavrilovna Apraksina. Although this is just one of the many options for the origin of the name Mga.

One way or another, for the first two decades Mga was a small village of a few houses in a deplorable state. In the 1930s it became a regional center; two schools, a hospital, shops, a pharmacy and other vital institutions were built.

The Great Patriotic War became a heroic page in the history of MGI. Already on August 30, 1941, the village was captured by the Germans. This was the last free railway leading to Leningrad at that time. Mga was under the control of the invaders for almost two years, and it was she who was to play a decisive role in lifting the Siege. As you know, the ring was broken in the winter of 1943. But it was a narrow corridor, it was necessary to consolidate our positions, and without the railway this was impossible. And in August 1943, the Mginsk operation began - the famous offensive of the Leningrad and Volkhov fronts, the purpose of which was to prevent the Germans from closing the blockade again. The main task was completed, although the village of Mga remained under German control. In this operation, 20 thousand Russian soldiers were killed, another 50 thousand were injured. The village of Mga was completely liberated only on January 21, 1944.

In memory of the victims of 41-45, a small memorial complex was created in Mga, which is one of the main attractions of the village.

Another monument erected in the central park is the monument to Lenin.

The attractions of Mga do not end there. Right next to the train station is the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. It was restored at the end of the twentieth century, after several decades of devastation. Now this church is the main decoration and symbol of the village.

In conclusion, some statistics about the village of Mga in the Leningrad region and its surroundings. It is located in the Kirovsky district, 50 kilometers from St. Petersburg. The population of Mga is very small - 9,747 people. But in the summer the town comes alive thanks to gardenings located nearby - 45 km, Mikhailovskoye, 4 km, 6 km and others.

History of our land

Our land was once inhabited by ancient tribes, whose medieval burial grounds were recently (2004-2005) discovered by archaeologists in the area of ​​the Mga River...

At the beginning of the 18th century, this area, 60 versts from St. Petersburg, became the patrimony of the secretary, Alexei Volkov, and after the name of the wooden Assumption Church began to be called the Assumption Manor. In 1784 she granted Count I.A. Sologub; he renovated the church and moved his schismatic peasants from Poland and Lithuania to the manor. This is how Sologubovka appeared, which to this day bears the name of the count. In 1837, the Uspenskaya manor was bought at a public auction by Princess T.V., who became the full-fledged mistress of not only the village of Uspenskoye (or Sologubovka), but also the villages of Pukholovo, Pogorelushki, Karbuselki, Turyshkino, Lezye, Voitolovo, Ivanovo, Sigalovo, Kirsino. Her son B.N. Yusupov, who had “various bizarre oddities,” renamed Uspenskoye to Blagoveshchenskoye and planned to build a new stone church in the name of the Annunciation. He chose the place for the temple on the “Mountain of God” in Lesieux. At the expense of the prince in 1849, a church project was drawn up, approved, but this project was not accepted by the clergy, and therefore the architect V. E. Morgan made new project. The Yusupovs themselves planned to allocate thirty thousand rubles for the construction, but then the estate manager, St. Petersburg merchant Yegor Pavlov, took on all the expenses, “both out of respect for the memory of the late Prince Yusupov, his benefactor, and out of zeal for the church of the village of Lezya, as his homeland.” The new temple was consecrated in 1852, but, contrary to Yusupov’s wishes, in the name of the Assumption. Soon the church turned out to be cramped and in 1878-1881 a bell tower was added to it, and “the church itself was enlarged.”

To build a railway from Obukhov to Vyatka (now Kirov), the authorities bought land from the Yusupovs, and in 1901 the Mga railway station appeared. In 1905, the first passenger train passed through it. There was a dense forest around Mga at that time, in which the Yusupov princes loved to hunt. Later, summer residents rented 117 and a half dessiatines here from the Yusupovs. The newspaper "Dachnaya Zhizn" wrote in 1911 that near the Mga station of the Northern line, "by the beginning of the summer season, many premises were completed, quite suitable for both summer and winter living." The new dacha village began to be called Yusupovsky. In 1917, there were 200 residents in the village, and in 1927 Mga became a regional center and a major railway junction; before the war there were 3,000 residents, a school, a clinic and a club.

In 1941, when Mga turned 40 years old, the Great Patriotic War broke out. The calm, peaceful life of the residents of Mghinsk is over. Within a month, the Nazis began to bomb Mga, and after about three months, most of the territory of the Mginsky district, including Art. MGA, was occupied by the Nazis. For about 2.5 years, the occupiers ruled the Mginsky district. During this time, the entire railway system from the station was completely destroyed. Sapernaya to st. Zhikharevo. All administrative and residential buildings were destroyed to the ground. Mginsky Park and all the trees in the village were cut down. During this time, the population of the occupied territory, who did not have time to evacuate, was tyrannized by the Nazis. The Germans took many residents - women, children and even old people - to Germany and the Baltic states to concentration camps or forced labor. Almost all villages in the occupied territory were completely destroyed and burned. Most of them were wiped off the face of the earth and disappeared forever from the maps of the region and region. Here is an incomplete list of these villages: Voronovo, Lodva, Pogostye, Vinyagolovo, Karbusel, Mishkino, Gaytolovo, Tortolovo, Sigolovo. Lipki, Pogorelushka, Kelkolovo, Med-noe, Sinyavino, Arbuzovo, all the farms located in the area of ​​the station. Mikhailovskaya, there were more than thirty of them.

In January 1944, a military operation by our troops began to completely defeat the northern group of fascist troops and remove them. The Nazis put up stubborn resistance, and only on January 21, 1944, our troops managed to liberate Mga. The largest railway junction was again in our hands. Moscow saluted in honor of our troops who liberated MGU with 12 artillery salvoes from 124 guns. 12 divisions that took part in the liberation of the village of Mga received the title "Mginskaya".

MGA, compared to the pre-war period, has changed beyond recognition. The station and the district center were completely destroyed and destroyed, no buildings survived, but in the liberated territory one could find a large number of German cemeteries with birch crosses. After the war, the village was rebuilt.

Today, the Mga station remains the most important railway junction of the Oktyabrskaya Railway.

The municipal formation of Mginskoe urban settlement with the administrative center of the village of Mga was formed on December 15, 2005. The total area of ​​land within the boundaries of the municipality is 85,800 hectares. There are 19 settlements on the territory. The total population of the municipality is 12,494 people, including 10,394 people in the village of Mga.

AROUND KIROVSK

Mga

The large working settlement of Mga is located 52 kilometers from Leningrad. Most of the working population are railway workers. Over the past decade, the population has doubled and is now 12 thousand people.

The emergence of the village dates back to 1901, when the construction of the Obukhovo-Vyatka railway (now Leningrad-Kirov) began. In 1904, the first passenger train passed through the Mga station (it received its name from the river that flowed here).

In the pre-revolutionary years, the village developed slowly. In 1917 there were only 200 inhabitants. But already in the 1930s, Mga became a major railway junction; The workers' settlement was also quickly built up.

During the Great Patriotic War, Mga was completely destroyed by the Nazis.

During the post-war years, the village was rebuilt. Now there are dozens of stone residential buildings of four to five floors, a House of Culture, a cinema, three schools, a hospital and a clinic, and four libraries.

Mga again turned into a major junction of the Oktyabrskaya Railway, where the lines Leningrad - Volkhov, Mga - Khvoinaya, Mga - Gatchina and the Mga - Nevdubstroy line intersect.

There are several industrial enterprises in the village. The largest of them is a reinforced concrete products plant. Its main products are beams, trusses, columns for industrial and residential buildings. The plant produces up to 60 thousand cubic meters of reinforced concrete per year and supplies construction projects of the Glavzapstroy trust located in and neighboring regions.

The construction and installation enterprise (SMP-315) is engaged in the construction and electrification of railways. In addition, it builds residential buildings and public utilities. In the village of Mga, SMP-315 workers laid new water supply and sewerage lines, and built treatment facilities.

A major supplier of building materials is the Mginsky quarry management. It develops and extracts sand, gravel, and crushed stone used for the manufacture of prefabricated reinforced concrete and in the construction of highways. The company produces products worth 2.7 million rubles.

Three more enterprises are being built in the village - production bases for the construction of metal structures and products for elevators, and the Gazstroymashina experimental base.

Near Mga there is the central estate of one of the largest state farms in the region - “Mginsky”. The state farm supplies Leningrad with more than 30 thousand centners of vegetables and potatoes, 28 thousand centners of milk and other products. Favorable natural conditions make it possible to successfully develop dairy farming.

Mga

Translated from Finnish, this word means “swampy place” or “loose earth”. Indeed, here forests alternate with swamps. The water in the Mge River is dark because it originates in peat bogs near the modern Pogostye station. In addition to water and cranberries, these swamps are also rich in iron, so in the old days there was an iron smelting industry here: there were 10 firehouses and 10 furnaces. Under Peter, building materials were floated down the Mga River. It was deeper then than it is now.

St. Petersburg archaeologists conducted research in the area of ​​the Mga River in 2004-2005 and discovered medieval Izhora burial grounds with a burial culture characteristic of this tribe.

Before the railway station appeared, the village of Pogorelushki was located in the area of ​​the modern Gatchina Bridge on the right bank of the Mga River. There were 31 households in that village, and 112 residents lived there: 49 men and 63 women. Local children learned to read and write at the parish school.

And through this disastrous place, the authorities ordered the construction of a railway towards the Russian north. It had, of course, not economic, but purely strategic significance: to quickly transfer troops there during the war. They first decided to lead the road to Vyatka (Kirov), and then to Murmansk, then not yet a large port, but a small town. At 44 versts from St. Petersburg, they decided to build a railway station along this road. Steam locomotives of that time had to be refueled with water and fuel over a certain distance.

The marginal lands were bought from local peasants and the owner of the estate, Princess Z. A. Yusupova-Elson. The report of a railway engineer indicated that “in 1901, at the IV class Mga station, located 43 versts 388.42 fathoms from St. Petersburg, a barracks, a well and a crossing were built, and an area 700 fathoms long was cleared for the construction of station buildings." This is how a new settlement was born. The soldiers who were building the railway lived in the barracks. In a separate room there were 1-2 gendarmes under the command of a non-commissioned officer from the specialized railway police department. They supervised order in the construction area and the sanitary condition of temporary premises.

After the construction of the railway bridge across Mga, the movement of work trains began, delivering construction materials. In 1905, regular passenger train service was opened. They were still small, they were pulled by low-power steam locomotives - “sheep”, so it took passengers much longer to get to their destination than now. Trains made only one trip per day there and back, since the road was single-track. Before the opening of traffic, the local population traveled either on foot or on horseback along the road from the village of Pukholovo to Lobanovo, and on the banks of the Neva they transferred to a steamer to get to the capital.

The first station was made of wood and was illuminated along with the platform by three kerosene lanterns. In one of the corners of the waiting room there hung an icon with a lamp, and there was a mug for donations. The place was surrounded by a low metal fence. On Sundays and holidays, prayer services were performed by local or traveling priests. Two one-story residential buildings for railway workers were built near the station. The only building that has survived from those times is the huntsman's house (47 Komsomolsky Prospekt).

The enterprising Princess Yusupova began to sell the land of her estate for summer cottages. In 1908, 62 plots were already sold. Among the buyers was an employee of the estate, Ivan Ilyin Lenin. Perhaps it was his last name that the then young and little-known Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov. In 1911, one of the St. Petersburg newspapers wrote that near the Mga station of the Northern Line, “by the beginning of the summer season, many premises were completed, quite suitable for summer and winter living.” The new dacha village began to be called Yusupovsky. But the bulk of the population were railway workers and employees.

From an ordinary railway station, Mga is turning into a hub. In 1916, trains went through MGU in three directions: to Vyatka, Murmansk and Moscow-Butyrskaya. In 1929, a railway track was laid from Mga to Nevdubstroy and Sinyavino. In 1934 the Mga-Gatchina route opened. The railway line to Kirov (formerly Vyatka) acquired great importance for Leningrad. Through this line, the city on the Neva began to receive coal from the Pechora basin. Thanks to this, the administrative status of the village increased. Before the revolution and in the first years of NZPA Mga was part of the Pukholovsky volost, then the Leziensky village council. The children of the first Mginsk residents went to school in the village of Pogorelushki. In 1925, Mga already had its own village council, and two years later the station became the regional center of a large territory, which included almost the entire southern part of the former Shlisselburg district.

As the station's importance grew, so did the population, primarily due to the residents of the surrounding villages. If in the years of Mga’s birth 20 people lived here, during the revolution - 300, and before the war - approximately 3 thousand.

During the NEP period, the activity of small entrepreneurs, whose business was family in nature, revived. The Aleksutins' shops, the Polosukhins' teahouse, and the Monins' bakery were open. Large land holdings of the Kalinins and Nikitins remained near the village. All the meadows along the Mga River belonged to the Aleksutins.

The centers of cultural life were the school and the library. The seven-year school opened in 1918...

On the site of the future village of Mga there were only rangers' houses, one of which has survived to this day (now in this building Komsomolsky Prospekt there is a railway clinic).

In 1901, the construction of the Cherepovets railway line began, with the goal of connecting St. Petersburg with Vyatka by the shortest route, that is, with the main route of the Trans-Siberian Railway (before that it was necessary to reach it by making a long detour through Moscow). Part of the land that belonged to Princess Zinaida Nikolaevna Yusupova was purchased for construction. The mainline crossed the Mgu River, which is why the station built near Pogorelushka received the same “euphonious” name - Mga. Were built barracks, well and crossing, and also a 700-fathom-long site was cleared for the construction of station buildings».

By the way, the only reliable archaeological evidence related to the Mga River dates back to the time the railway was laid. In 1904 near the village Mishkino(now defunct), three kilometers east of the future Mga station, " a set of women's jewelry was found, apparently from a destroyed burial; second floor XIII - beginning XIV century Re-examination in 1904 and 1910 did not produce any new finds" In fact, this does not mean at all that the flow of the Mga River is uninteresting in this regard.
« There are no archaeological sites only where they are not looked for“,” said the famous Russian scientist A. S. Spitsyn.

The first passenger train passed through MGU in 1905. At the same time, two one-story residential buildings were built for railway employees.

The enterprising Yusupovs leased the land around the station for the construction of dachas. The newspaper “Dachnaya Zhizn” wrote in 1911 that near the Mga station of the Northern line “ By the beginning of the summer season, many rooms have been completed that are quite suitable for both summer and winter living." The new village began to be called Yusupovsky, but it developed slowly. Its inhabitants were dominated by railway workers and employees, who lived in carriages or one- and two-apartment houses in the eastern part of the village.

Back in 1908, Felix Yusupov applied for permission to build a church in the growing Yusupov village, whose population by 1917 had reached 200 inhabitants. In June of the same year, a stone church, built according to the design of the architect A.P. Vaytens, was consecrated in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. In 1918, a seven-year school, a hospital and a clinic opened in the village.

After the revolution, the Mga station and the village attached to it were assigned to the Pukholovsky village council. It began to grow quickly, and public buildings appeared here. In 1927, Mga became the center of the Mginsky district of the Leningrad region, which included 38 village councils.

The village of Pogorelushka was first part of the Pukholovsky, from 1927 - Gorsky, and in 1930 - Mginsky village council of the district of the same name. The board of the collective farm "Red Plow" was located in the village.

On the map of the General Staff of the Red Army in 1932, MGA is signed as P<осёлок>Mginsky. In 1937, it received the official status of an urban village. But the Church of St. Nicholas was closed back in 1935, its building was destroyed during the Great Patriotic War.

In 1938, the Mginsky district executive committee petitioned to rename the district and Mga station to the Zhdanovsky district and the village of Zhdanov in honor of the leader of the Leningrad party organization, but to no avail. Before the war, more than 4,700 inhabitants lived here.

The village and Mga station were captured by the 20th motorized division of General H. Zorn on August 30, 1941 - this meant a complete cessation of railway communication between Leningrad and the rest of the country. In fact, that’s when it started. The first division of the NKVD troops under the command of Colonel S.I. Donskov tried to drive the enemy out of here until September 6. In two years, Mga was turned by the Nazis into a powerful defense center.

In August 1943, the Mginsk operation began - a joint offensive of the troops and the Volkhov fronts, the purpose of which was to prevent enemy troops from closing the blockade ring again. The task was completed, but Mga still remained under German control for several more months. In this operation, 20 thousand Soviet soldiers were killed, another 50 thousand were injured - huge losses...

MGU was finally liberated on January 21, 1944 by units of the 67th Army during Operation Iskra. Fifteen military units that distinguished themselves during the liberation of the village received the honorary name Mginsky.

During the war, all administrative and residential buildings were destroyed, Mginsky Park and all the trees in the village were cut down. Many local residents of the occupied territory, who did not have time to evacuate, were deported to Germany and the Baltic states - to concentration camps or forced labor. Pogorelushka was among the many destroyed villages in the Kirov region that were never revived.

After the war, the population of Mga quickly recovered and continued to grow constantly; by the end of the 1970s. it even exceeded 11 thousand people. However, then the number of residents began to gradually decline, although not so significantly. Currently it is approximately 10.3 thousand people.

The Mginsky district was abolished in 1960, its territory became part of the Tosnensky district. Mga became the administrative center of the village council of the same name. Then in 1977 MGA was transferred to the . Since 2006, it has become the center of the municipal formation “Mginskoe urban settlement”.

The origin of the name of the village is obvious: from the Mga station, which received its name from the river near which it is located. In general, this is a common phenomenon. Nevertheless, among local residents and even in local history literature, there is a very popular “opinion” that interprets this name as an abbreviation for the name of Maria Gavrilovna Apraksina. (N.A. Sindalovsky, a great hunter of such legends, having confused the village of Mga and the village of Muyu, reports that from Maria Grigorievna, immediately making a reservation: “ personality, however, quite mythical»).

In the Mginsky urban settlement there is indeed a village and the Apraksin railway station, which appeared when the Cherepovets line was opened. It is believed that it was named after the surname of this famous count family, which owned the estate located here. Allegedly, its first owner was an associate of Peter I, Fyodor Mikhailovich Apraksin. However, in the specialized railway and local history literature, it is constantly overlooked that in 1905 only Passage No. 3, whose name is Apraksin- was assigned only in 1917...
