Which cities are named after their founders. Different cities of the USSR named after people

On May 19, 2016, it became known about the decision of the Verkhovna Rada of independent Ukraine to rename the city of Dnipropetrovsk to Dnipro. The renaming was initiated by the city council at the end of 2015 as part of the decommunization of the names of Ukrainian cities. The fact is that the city was renamed in honor of the Soviet party and statesman Grigory Petrovsky (1878 - 1958), and not in honor of the Apostle Peter, as might be expected. And now the capital of the Dnipropetrovsk region of Ukraine is the city of Dnipro.

A similar situation in Russia is associated with Yekaterinburg and St. Petersburg, which, having returned their former names, remained the centers of the Sverdlovsk and Leningrad regions. But the conversation is not even about that. Just today I wanted to remember and find out the former names of Russian cities. Because many former titles not only unheard of, but may even seem paradoxical. For example, what is the name of Stavropol-on-Volga today? Don't remember? Because how else can you find out the old name of Togliatti, if you are either not born and live there, or have relatives there, or be Wasserman from Russian geography. For everyone else - the current article.

Cities with a population of more than 500 thousand people

To determine the order in which cities whose names have changed during Russian history, the principle of decreasing population was chosen - from the largest to the smallest. To do this, it turned out to be sufficient to use the list of Russian cities with the corresponding rank, for example, in the Wikipedia table. It seems that it is enough to confine ourselves to cities with a population of more than 500 thousand people, and say a few words about the rest separately. So.

Cities with a population of less than 500 thousand people

Yes, it would be fundamentally wrong to dwell only on major cities. After all, the population is one thing, and the proud names are another. It is difficult to imagine the current article without recalling Grebenshchikov's line "This train flies, like an apostolic order, on the way from Kalinin to Tver" and without indicating that from 1931 to 1990 Tver bore the name of the "all-Russian headman" Mikhail Ivanovich Kalinin.

However, one can confine oneself to simple mentions of how these or those Russian cities. So:

Kirov - Vyatka - Khlynov

Kaliningrad - Twangste - Koenigsberg

Stavropol - Stavropol-Kavkazsky - Voroshilovsk

Sevastopol - Akhtiar

Ivanovo – Ivanovo-Voznesensk

Kurgan - Tsarevo Settlement - Kurgan Sloboda

Vladikavkaz - Ordonikidze (yes, if the city had been left named after Grigory Nikolaevich Ordzhonikidze, it would have been not Vlakikavkaz, Ordzhonikidze "Alania" that was the Russian football champion in 1995)

Murmansk – Romanov-on-Murman

Yoshkar-Ola - Tsarevokokshaysk - Krasnokokshaysk

Syktyvkar – Ust-Sysolsk

Dzerzhinsk – Rastyapino

Veliky Novgorod – Novgorod

Engels - Pokrovskaya Sloboda - Pokrovsk

Yes, not only cities, but also entire countries and empires are insured against large-scale renaming. It is only important that new names are chosen according to taste. Here is Tula, for example. As it was founded in 1146, it remains Tula today. Maybe they say the truth, that whatever you call a ship, that's how it will sail. This is especially true for such huge ships as cities.

Yaroslavl - the city is named after the founder, Prince Yaroslav the Wise.

The city that was "lucky" to change names. The first name by which he is known was the name Khlynov. There are several versions of the origin of the name Khlynov. The first is based on the cry of the hly-khly birds that lived in the area where the city was formed: ... A kite flies by and shouts: "Kylno-kylno." So the Lord himself indicated how to name the city: Kylnov ... According to the second, the city was given the name of the Khlynovitsa river, which flows nearby into Vyatka, which, in turn, was named after a breakthrough on a small dam: ... water gushed through it , and the river was given the name Hlynovitsa ... The third theory connects the name with the word hlyn (ushkuynik, river robber), although most experts attribute a later appearance to this word.
The second name of the city was the name Vyatka. Some researchers tend to believe that it came from the name of the territorial group of Udmurts Vatka, who lived in these territories, which was erected to the Udmurt word vad "otter, beaver". However, such an etymology is completely unrealistic from a linguistic point of view. The name Vatka itself was formed from the hydronym Vyatka. According to another version, it is associated with the Vyada people, who had close relations with the Udmurts. Some sources erroneously correlate the word Vyatka with the Vyatichi tribes who lived on the banks of the Oka. However, the word Vyatchane is recognized as the correct self-name, it has established itself as an ethnonym for the inhabitants of the Vyatka region. In addition, historically, such a correlation is completely unjustified: the Vyatichi did not go so far to the east. Today, the most relevant version is the version of L. N. Makarova - she considers the name of the river (Old Russian in origin) with the meaning "larger" (cf. other Russian is more like “more”).
The name Kirov was given to the city after the murder in 1934 of a native of the city of Urzhum in the Vyatka region, Sergei Mironovich Kostrikov (Kirov).
The chronology of the renaming of the city is extremely complex and ambiguous, since few historical documents have been preserved confirming the very fact of renaming. Usually, when they talk about the old names of Kirov, they use the simplified chain of transformations Khlynov - Vyatka - Kirov, and indeed, when founded in 1181, the city was named Khlynov. Starting from 1374 (the first mention of Vyatka), the word Khlynov is not found in any official document or chronicle; section of the so-called "Zalessky" cities after Nizhny Novgorod and Kurmysh. In 1455, a wooden Kremlin with an earthen rampart was built in Vyatka for defensive purposes, which was given the name of the Khlynovitsa River flowing nearby. Subsequently, the name Khlynov spread to the township part of the city, and from 1457 the whole city began to be called Khlynov. in the Kazan. On December 5, 1934, by decree of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR, Vyatka was named after Sergei Mironovich Kirov.
The city is located in a region with a large representation of national minorities, so names in other languages ​​have historically been assigned to it. In Mari, it is called "Ilna" or "Ilna-Ola" ("ola" in translation from Mari means "city"). In the Udmurt language, it is called "Vatka" and "Kylno". In Tatar, the name of Kirov sounds like "Kolyn". All these names are obsolete and are not used in modern speech.

The tradition of naming streets after famous people has been around for a long time. Almost every city or major locality there are streetsPushkin , Gogol, Gorky, Nekrasov and other famous writers. Some streets have a history of centuries, others - decades, and others - a few years. The tradition of naming streets after writers, or even after literary works and their heroes, testifies to high level the culture of the inhabitants. This tradition means that most people living in this area are familiar with the work of a writer or poet and consider it worthy to imprint his name on a city map.

This section presents the streets of the city, named after famous Russian writers in our city. Toponymy of any settlement is strongly connected with its history and traditions. In the 18th-19th centuries in Russia, street names often changed following the change of homeowners: the names of the most famous of them served as the main sign of the streets when they were named. Gradually, the tradition of naming a street after famous person, who lives on it, has grown into a tradition to give the streets the names of prominent people of the settlement, or state. No wonder the streets are called "threads of human destinies woven into history."
