Nekrasov - Proletarian. Webcam Ussuriysk online

The founding date of Ussuriisk is considered to be 1866 when immigrants from the Astrakhan and Voronezh provinces began building a new settlement. The village founded by them was originally named Nikolsky in honor of Nicholas the Wonderworker. Burned out by the Hungarians in 1868, the village was soon rebuilt. By 1880, Nikolskoe had grown noticeably. It housed the tritium and the fourth battalion of the First East Siberian Brigade. At this time, a permanent road was built, connecting Nikolskoe with Vladivostok. Nikolskoye was a district village of the South Ussuriisk region of the Primorsk region. The impetus to economic development was given by the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway. In connection with the growth of population and the development of industry, the question arose of granting the status of a city to Nikolsky. In 1895, the peasants and representatives of the merchant class appealed to the authorities with a corresponding request. In 1898, having united with the station workers' settlement Ketrytsevo, Nikolskoye was raised to the city level and received the name of Nikolsk. Natives of Ukraine settled here on a massive scale, arriving in the south of the Far Eastern region. In the structure of industrial production, the processing of agricultural raw materials occupied the most prominent place. Among the industrial enterprises were the company O.V. Lindholm, the Pyankov Brothers Distillery, and a creamery. At the turn of the XIX-XX centuries four steam mills, four water mills and five large crafts worked here. In 1912, the city duma approved the first emblem of the city, which was an image of a bread sheaf tied with a blue ribbon and placed on a scarlet field. The post-revolutionary years were a period of development of industrial cooperation. 14 large cooperatives worked in Nikolsk-Ussuriysk: “Furniture maker”, “Rabotnitsa”, “Pischevitsa”, “Zheleznodorozhnik” and others. In 1926 the city was renamed Nikolsk-Ussuriysky to avoid confusion: another city of Nikolsk is located in the Vologda region. In the period from 1935 to 1957, the city was called Voroshilov (Voroshilovsk); after coming to power N.S. Khrushchev was renamed Ussuriisk. In the 70s of the last century, the population grew to 156,000 people. Industrial development was well under way. In Ussuriysk, there were 24 large industrial enterprises: plants (engineering, building materials plant, locomotive repair, car repair, mining factory), factories (furniture, Rabotnitsa, in-order factory), combines (oil and fat, leather and footwear, sugar). In 1983, construction began on the largest in Siberia and the Far East of the Ussuri cardboard factory. Ussuriysk is one of the largest railway stations in the region, receiving most of the transit cargo of the Trans-Siberian Railway heading to the west of Russia and Europe through the system of seaports of Primorye - Vladivostok, Nakhodka, Vostochny. "Ussuriisk - I" - a junction station of the Vladivostok branch of the Far Eastern Railway.
