Several years ago I could not imagine that the area outside of Yakub Kolas Before the war there were intelligent life forms (exaggerating, but still). Now, well acquainted with the history of this area, I can responsibly say that in the 1930's in this direction Minsk stretched pretty far, reaching almost to the Sevastopol park, and very few did not reach the border of Minsk today (for comparison: in the north-west direction ended in Minsk immediately after Stella). By itself, this region, like other suburbs, was predominantly wooden and one-story. The exception was only built in 1937 Pushkin town (yes Pushkinskiye barracks next to it). In today's post (in the writing which helped me a lot

rst_paul ) about this forgotten corner prewar Minsk and will be discussed. 
Pushkin town, named in honor of 100 anniversary since the death of a Russian poet, was founded in 1937. The village is located within the boundaries of existing streets Surganov Yakub Kolas, Kalinina Kuzma and Black. About In those same years, was built a number of similar "districts": the village Comintern Grushevskii and Frunze villages. As well as his "brothers", Pushkin town was built up mostly typical, perhaps, 16-apartment houses of timber, covered with planks. In addition, the street was built Chernyshevsky three-and four-story brick house. Before the war it was the farthest outskirts of Minsk. One of the villagers, the actor Nicholas Schensnovich, in his memoirs , published in 1970, described life in the village before the war: "I live in the village of Pushkin. Here as quiet as a village. And the city, filled with electricity, seems far away and too quiet. "One of the streets near the village called - Quiet (today is a piece of street Khmelnitsky). From the memoirs Schensnovicha it becomes clear that lived in the village, among others, employees of the studio and the actors of Kupala Theater.
Pushkin town - a large group of houses at the bottom half of the central part of this piece of German maps of Minsk and its environs.
Much has changed in the village with the beginning of the war. The bombing of the city June 24-26, went around the edge of this side (German aerial photograph, which is stored in the collections of the Minsk Museum of the Great Patriotic War, indicates that the next bomb fell near the hull Polytechnic Institute, now the National Technical University), but it is the residents of the village of Pushkin, if you believe Schensnovichu, first saw the Nazis in Belarus: "And at dawn village occupied by German motorcyclists. They stood beside their cars, and no one was allowed to leave their homes. Two days later, on June 28, the city was occupied by the Germans ... "
population of the village has changed: the Jews were leaving their apartments to move into the ghetto. Survivors of bombing people from the burned-out center of Minsk moved to vacate the apartment on the outskirts, including the Pushkin town. November 4, 1941 changed the name of the village: it was renamed Skorinovsky (Skoryna Siedlung).
Many events associated Pushkin settlement of the war years with the Minsk underground. Here, 17 April 1942 a skirmish that killed Alexander Makarenko, and was mortally wounded Basil Zhudro. In the village of Pushkin was the last apartment of Jean - Ivan Kabushkin. It is from 4 February 1943 the year he went on the fateful meeting on the street Podlesny, where he was captured by the Germans. However, there were among the villagers and people who collaborated with the occupation authorities. For example, some time in the village lived Skorinovskom Shukeloyt Anton, director of the Belarusian museum, inside during the occupation in Jubilee House . This he mentions in the book "Gutarkі is Anton Shukeloytsem" Zyanon Paznyak.

At the end of September 1943 the Germans issued order to release the building of the village of Pushkin to accommodate military units. Here's how to describe the eviction of villagers Nicholas Schensnovich: "Prior to my departure the Germans announced that all residents of the village of Pushkin should urgently release the entire area, and who does not, those will be expelled from the occupied apartments right on the street. Indicated a period of time. The village was moved. Everyone started to look for a room on the surrounding streets. Nobody never occurred to inquire who moves where. More so that everyone who has found himself a new residence, he tried to keep it a secret, fearing that any of the neighbors before capture his apartment. "Schensnovich himself went into the forest on Oct. 2, 1943 the first year, which implies that the relocation of residents conducted in early October.
Later in razvedsvodkah, coming to the Belarusian Headquarters of Partisan Movement, met regularly mention of military units occupiers, the battery of anti-aircraft guns firing points that reside in the district town of Pushkin (the documents are in NARB): "In the woods outside of town, on the left side of the Moscow highway, if the march from Minsk in Borisov, Pushkin town where the studio was once - every day is a lot of vehicles, guarded by the Germans. What was not clear. "Enclosed with barbed wire Pushkin town ... occupied by German
military units. "(original spelling preserved)
After the war the barracks Pushkin village a few decades remained intact, they had time to live for generations Minskers. The southern part of the village stood before the 1990's. So, if the plan of 1988 can be seen almost all the buildings of this part of the settlement, in 1996, a number of barracks, located closer to the street, Yakub Kolas, had already demolished. In the late 1990's was demolished and the remaining two rows of barracks. Partially preserved only the northern part of the settlement between the street. Kalinin and Chernyshevskogo on it, we and take a walk.
We first to known aerial photography, made by Soviet pilots during the bombing of Minsk, 1944. For orientation of the letters marked the most significant objects: A - The Academy of Sciences, T - House press Y - Polytechnic Institute (now the main building of the Belarusian National Technical University), B - Clinical town (1 st Hospital), I - the current street Yakub Kolas (before the war - Logoiski tract, during the occupation - Nordstraße). Numbers from 1 to 7 - preserved houses of the village of Pushkin, just the same buildings, as can be seen, it was over 30. A number 8 - this is one of the houses have already Pushkin's barracks, but they are a little later. About numbers 2 and 7 that many craters from bombs dropped by, apparently, it is Pushkin on a settlement with German units stationed, but missed the target. Here you can also consider the railway line passing through the village. This narrow-gauge railway is divided into two parts to the military town near the present streets of Volgograd, connects the two districts in the current peat extraction ring road with a tram line (between the rails which passed narrow gauge railway) in the Soviet street in the place where now there is a cinema "October". Thus, cars with turf directly on the main street of Minsk were delivered to the first power plant, buildings which have survived around the circus.
Now go to advanced shooting Google Maps. The surviving houses of the village of Pushkin are just a block of streets Chernyshevskogo Black, Kalinina and Kolas, from the last They are separated fairly commonplace postwar Stalin. In addition, old houses themselves diluted by later buildings.
Model chetyrehpodezdny four-story house on Chernyshevsky (number 1 on aerial photographs). Pre-war homes with a similar layout can be seen in Red Tract , and Grushevka, and in a military town in Uruchcha, and immediately next to Kalinin. Only here, in contrast to the officers' houses Red Tracts, no angular balconies and a few other shape of the roof.
On each floor there are two bedroom apartments with bathroom, toilet, spacious hall, kitchen and small room for economic needs. In one room was arranged fireplace for heating. In the kitchen stove burning wood.
entrances with tape vertical glazing, prevalent in 1930.
Yard facade. From left to see another pre-war house (number 4), right - rare these days dovecote.
less trivial trehetazhka (No. 2), at least I like the buildings in Minsk did not meet.
Again stairway with a vertical ribbon windows.
House mercilessly otpidorashen Sov ceramic tile, but, as we see,
This house (number 3), judging by its location, nevertheless, likely after the war.
Although in appearance and not say.
One of the two brick dvuhetazhek twins (Nos. 4 and 5). Again, a number of characteristic features of pre-war architecture.
These homes are registered on the street Kaliningrad, which is in general nothing more than a hobby and travel. It seems to remove all doubts about the status of the street nameplate duplicated thrice. On the left side of the fence seems to be too pre-war house.
On this home light tile is also not spared. Left, right, original cornices.
Some windows framed the same way as in the Central Library building MAZ in Red Tract.
Second Home (5) otrenovirovan in our time.
not without some simplifications.
Finally, the only remaining wooden barracks (7) Pushkin town. This is despite the fact that these buildings were in the majority.
This hut (6), with all the similarities with the previous one, was built after the war, possibly on the same project that before the war.
And this house (8), replica chetyrehetazhki on Chernyshevskogo standing on the street Kalinin (and turned her back facade!) and Pushkin's settlement are no longer applies. This officer's house well before the war Pushkin barracks, which are discussed in the next series.
In this story of Pushkin's settlement comes to an end. I hope that you had interesting and to be continued.
