Urban settlement Achit is located in the southwest of the Sverdlovsk region, in its European, pre-Ural part. It is a regional center and is located 196 kilometers from Yekaterinburg. The name of the village was given by the Achit River (a tributary of the Biserti), on which ponds were created in the village and behind it. In Achita there is a road junction that diverges to Perm, Satka and Yekaterinburg. The nearest railway station is Ufimka, 13 kilometers away.

Story

The exact date of the appearance of Achit is unknown. It has been established that the village appeared at the end of the 17th century, when the Siberian Highway was being laid. The road and the region suffered from raids by nomads from the south, so in 1735 a wooden fortress was built here. Since the end of the 18th century, Achit turned into a tract village, where the population was engaged in arable farming and cartage.

In 1924, Achit was appointed as a district center. In the post-war period, the small collective farms of Acita merged into a meat and dairy state farm, and industrial facilities, and in the 1960s the village was transformed into an urban settlement.

Description

The first mention of the village of Achit was found in the documents of the Central State Archive of Ancient Acts in the affairs of the Orenburg expedition of the Senate on the suppression of the Bashkir uprising in 1725 - 1726.
Decree of Empress Anna Ioanovna dated September 5, 1735 “On... repairing the Siberian Highway.” Since 1736, the village of Achit has been a fortress on the Siberian Highway.
At a meeting of the Presidium of the Ural Regional Executive Committee on February 27, 1924, the Achitsky district, centered in the village of Achit, was approved as part of the Kungur district, which included 16 village councils:
By decision of the district council municipality Achitsky district dated June 10, 2005 No. 79 The municipal formation Achitsky district was transformed into the Achitsky urban district from January 1, 2006 with an elected representative body - the Duma of the Achitsky urban district and the Charter of the Achitsky urban district was adopted.

LOOK AROUND
My forests are cool without edge,
The flood meadows are also vast.
My land is so free
It has been near and dear to me since childhood.
I went here with friends to pick mushrooms,
Burned hot fires while fishing,
Here I am drenched by the torrential rains,
The native was in the river to escape the heat.
Everything here is mine - left and right,
The familiar is everywhere and in everything.
Here I fell in the unmown grass,
Listened to by the May nightingale.
I happened to see other lands -
There are other wonderful lands,
But our meadows and forests -
My only Motherland!
And don't let me be judged for this,
That I call her the only one.
And without me she was and will be,
I can't live a day without her.
I call her the only and sweet one,
And he sang about his native land in his poems.
With all the love, tenderness and strength,
Sorry, I just couldn't do it better.

Memory board

Hero Soviet Union
Khazipov Nazip Khazipovich
10. 02. 1924 - 24. 03. 1943
forever enrolled in the lists of the 1st tank company
Born in 1924 in the village of Emanzelga, Achita district, Sverdlovsk region.
Tatar. Member of the CPSU since 1943
Hero of the Soviet Union (27.6.1945).
Awarded the Orders of Lenin and the Red Star.
He fell on the battlefield at the age of twenty-one, “without finishing the uneven lines, without finishing loving, without finishing...”. In the lieutenant’s pocket, his military friends found an unfinished letter to the distant Urals: “We are already fighting on the enemy’s land...”
When in September 1942, at the military registration and enlistment office, before entering the Stalingrad Tank School, Nazip was asked to write his autobiography, he wrote it on half a notebook sheet. And what other biography could a guy have at eighteen years old? Born in labor peasant family, graduated from high school. Komsomolets. He worked on a collective farm.
That's the whole biography.
But the application with a request to send him to the front turned out to be a whole page long. There were these lines: “The fascist beast wants to take away from us, Soviet people, the most precious thing is the Motherland. This won't happen. Having mastered formidable military equipment at school, I will mercilessly crush the fascist scoundrels on a tank built by Ural workers.”
In the summer of 1943, a young lieutenant, a platoon commander, was at the front.
He ended up in the 24th Guards Tank Brigade of the 5th Guards Mechanized Corps of the 4th Guards Tank Army. In the very first battles he distinguished himself, was awarded the order Red Star. He took part in the liberation of Ukraine.
Lieutenant Nazip Khazipov accomplished the feat of the Guard in March 1945.
One day, under heavy enemy fire, platoon commander Khazipov led an attack on a tank company. At top speed, he was the first to break into the village of Naidorf (Germany) in his tank, shoot at an enemy armored personnel carrier, and suppress several machine-gun emplacements. It got it from the enemy tankers and infantry. Dozens of Nazis were destroyed by machine gun fire.
Developing the offensive, the tank company launched an attack to height 289.4. Khazipov decided to overcome the swampy lowland in his tank - through it it was possible to reach the rear strong point enemy. However, the tank got stuck. The crew tried to free the car and began placing logs under it. At that moment, an enemy shell exploded nearby, wounding all the tank crew. Then Khazipov moved to another tank in the platoon and continued the attack. But a “tiger” appeared from above, clearly intending to block the path of our tanks. Khazipov forestalled this enemy as well. The enemy tank caught fire. However, the Nazis managed to fire a shell at our car. She, too, was hit. All crew members, including the lieutenant, were injured. Khazipov ordered the soldiers to leave the car and take refuge in a safe place, while he himself remained in the tank.
Enemy infantrymen, seeing a stopped Soviet tank, rushed towards it. Khazipov met them with machine-gun fire. Many enemy soldiers and officers were killed on the approaches to his car. When the Nazis tried to finish off the tank with direct fire from their guns, Nazip Khazipov and his tank gun entered into a duel with them.
The duel between one tanker and superior enemy forces lasted for about four hours. Shells and cartridges were running out when the Nazis moved another self-propelled gun against the stationary Soviet tank. Khazipov saw her in time and accurately sent a shell. But “Ferdinand” also managed to fire a shot. Khazipov's tank was engulfed in flames...
By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of June 27, 1945, for the courage, courage and heroism shown in the fight against the Nazi invaders, Guard Lieutenant Khazipov Nazip Khazipovich was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
Awarded the Order of Lenin and the Red Star.
He was buried in the village of Neudorf (Germany). A memorial plaque has been installed in his homeland. The pioneer squad of the Azigulovsky secondary school is named after Nazip Khazipov.

Attractions

Temple of the Archangel Michael. p.Achit The most beautiful, majestic and complex architectural building in Achit in the 19th century was the Church of the Archangel Michael. The church in those days was not only a religious center, but also a concentration of culture. Everyone visited her - from young to old. The Church cared about the purity and kindness of the human soul, taught the commandments. The first church in Achita was built in 1790. The church was wooden. In 1863, a stone church was erected by parishioners. One of the tragic pages of Russian villages was the closure of religious buildings. This terrible punishment did not spare our Achitsky district. In every village you can hear from old-timers that the church was beautiful, that he was baptized and married in it. I will start with the documents about the closure of the Achitsky church, the building of which is familiar to many as the House of Culture - a club. For today's schoolchildren, it's like the House of Pioneers. Many conscripts received a ticket to serve in the Soviet Army there. July 1934. The 27th general meeting of workers and employees of the Achitskaya MTS decided: The bell ringing at the Achitskaya Church should be closed. July 29th General meeting in the second and the fourth brigade of the Red Key collective farm, the fifth brigade of the Zarya collective farm and the youth of the village of Achit. Resolutions with only minor changes: “Ask the Achit village council to close the bell ringing, and also close the church, and transfer the bells to industry.” “Resolved: to close the bell ringing.” “Stop the ringing of bells and ask the village council to stop all worship services” Unanimously! Read more about the general meeting of Achita youth. “Chairman of the meeting Lyskov, secretary M. Novoselov, Rapporteur comrade. Petrov. Dokuchaev says that it is necessary to remove the bells and rather intoxicate the people and disrupt work in the field. Lyskov - not only to remove the bells, but to close the church and turn this building into a cultural building. Sharypov - any pilgrim who wanted to be in the church can come without ringing. Khrushchev - the ringing of bells has absolutely nothing to do with the working people, it prevents us from working in the field.” Bell ringing! commission, which finds6 “significant shortcomings for the further operation of the building, organizational meetings of the population having the right to vote are held, and the church is converted into a club, school... this sequence can be traced from the documents. April 5, 1935. became the day the Achita Church was closed. The general collective farm meeting decides: “We are the collective farmers of the “Prozhektor” agricultural artel, we understand the harm of religious dope. We need cultural institutions of life, and not the charms of religious priestly intoxication. We ask the Achita village council, the district executive committee and higher organizations satisfy our petition - to close the Achit Church as harmful to the collective farm construction." "Resolution No. 38 of the Presidium of the Achit District Executive Committee dated October 14, 19351) On the closure of the inactive church in the village of Achit and the use of the building for a cultural institution - sound cinema - club2) Bearing in mind that the church in the village of Achita was closed on April 5, 1935, according to the technical report for repairs, which expired on July 1 of this year, the believers did not and are not starting to repair the building due to lack of funds.3) Taking into account the petition of the working population of the village of Achit, the decisions of the meeting of voters and collective farm resolutions to close the church and transfer it to the club, and the fact that a tiny number of believers remained, less than 5% of total number population who may well perform religious rites near the located churches: Yalym, Verkh-Tisakh, Russian Potam, located 8-10 km. From the village of Achit, the church in the village of Achit, which is inactive, should be converted into a sound film club. Ask the Presidium of the Sverdlovsk Regional Executive Committee to approve this resolution. Chairman of the RIK Kulikov. Executive Secretary of the RIK Ermak “The next day, the Achita Regional Executive Committee sends a decision to the cult commission at the Sverdlovsk Regional Executive Committee with the above data and finishes it” “... we are starting to re-equip for sound cinema... We ask for your approval.” On October 23, a response is received. “Sverdlovsk No. 29504/7 11.22.57 m. Achit. District Executive Committee. We authorize the liquidation of the Achit Church. Golovin" The temple was closed and given over to a club. The upper elements: domes, domes, bell tower were demolished, the interior was rebuilt. In 2006, the building was completely given over to the church. The temple is gradually being restored.

The sun is the source of life on the planet. Its rays provide the necessary light and warmth. At the same time, ultraviolet radiation from the Sun is destructive to all living things. To find a compromise between useful and harmful properties Sun, meteorologists calculate the ultraviolet radiation index, which characterizes the degree of its danger.

What kind of UV radiation from the sun is there?

Ultraviolet radiation from the sun has wide range and is divided into three regions, two of which reach the Earth.

• UVA. Long-wave radiation range

  315–400 nm

  The rays pass almost freely through all atmospheric “barriers” and reach the Earth.

• UV-B. Medium wave range radiation

  280–315 nm

  Rays are 90% absorbed ozone layer, carbon dioxide and water vapor.

• UV-C. Shortwave range radiation

  100–280 nm

  The most dangerous area. They are completely absorbed by stratospheric ozone without reaching the Earth.

The more ozone, clouds and aerosols in the atmosphere, the less the harmful effects of the Sun. However, these life-saving factors have a high natural variability. The annual maximum of stratospheric ozone occurs in spring, and the minimum in autumn. Cloudiness is one of the most variable characteristics of weather. Content carbon dioxide also changes all the time.

At what UV index values ​​is there a danger?

The UV index provides an estimate of the amount of UV radiation from the Sun at the Earth's surface. UV index values ​​range from a safe 0 to an extreme 11+.

• 0–2 Low
• 3–5 Moderate
• 6–7 High
• 8–10 Very high
• 11+ Extreme

In mid-latitudes, the UV index approaches unsafe values ​​(6–7) only at the maximum height of the Sun above the horizon (occurs in late June - early July). At the equator, the UV index reaches 9...11+ points throughout the year.

What are the benefits of the sun?

In small doses, UV radiation from the Sun is simply necessary. The sun's rays synthesize melanin, serotonin, and vitamin D, which are necessary for our health, and prevent rickets.

Melanin creates a kind of protective barrier for skin cells from harmful effects Sun. Because of it, our skin darkens and becomes more elastic.

The hormone of happiness serotonin affects our well-being: it improves mood and increases overall vitality.

Vitamin D strengthens the immune system, stabilizes blood pressure and performs anti-rickets functions.

Why is the sun dangerous?

When sunbathing, it is important to understand that the line between the beneficial and harmful Sun is very thin. Excessive tanning always borders on a burn. Ultraviolet radiation damages DNA in skin cells.

The body's defense system cannot cope with such aggressive influence. It lowers immunity, damages the retina, causes skin aging and can lead to cancer.

Ultraviolet light destroys the DNA chain

How the Sun affects people

Sensitivity to UV radiation depends on skin type. People of the European race are the most sensitive to the Sun - for them, protection is required already at index 3, and 6 is considered dangerous.

At the same time, for Indonesians and African Americans this threshold is 6 and 8, respectively.

Who is most influenced by the Sun?

People with fair hair

skin tone

People with many moles

Residents of mid-latitudes during a holiday in the south

Winter lovers

fishing

Skiers and climbers

People having family history skin cancer

In what weather is the sun more dangerous?

It is a common misconception that the sun is dangerous only in hot and clear weather. You can also get sunburned in cool, cloudy weather.

Cloudiness, no matter how dense it may be, does not reduce the amount of ultraviolet radiation to zero. In mid-latitudes, cloudiness significantly reduces the risk of getting sunburned, which cannot be said about traditional places beach holiday. For example, in the tropics, if in sunny weather you can get sunburned in 30 minutes, then in cloudy weather - in a couple of hours.

How to protect yourself from the sun

To protect yourself from harmful rays, follow simple rules:

Spend less time in the sun during midday hours

Wear light-colored clothing, including wide-brimmed hats

Use protective creams

Wear sunglasses

Stay in the shade more on the beach

Which sunscreen to choose

Sunscreens vary in degree of sun protection and are labeled from 2 to 50+. The numbers indicate the proportion of solar radiation that overcomes the protection of the cream and reaches the skin.

For example, when applying a cream labeled 15, only 1/15 (or 7 %) of the ultraviolet rays will penetrate the protective film. In the case of cream 50, only 1/50, or 2 %, affects the skin.

Sunscreen creates a reflective layer on the body. However, it is important to understand that no cream can reflect 100% of ultraviolet radiation.

For everyday use, when the time spent under the Sun does not exceed half an hour, a cream with protection 15 is quite suitable. For tanning on the beach, it is better to take 30 or higher. However, for fair-skinned people it is recommended to use a cream labeled 50+.

How to Apply Sunscreen

The cream should be applied evenly to all exposed skin, including the face, ears and neck. If you plan to sunbathe for a long time, then the cream should be applied twice: 30 minutes before going out and, additionally, before going to the beach.

Please check the cream instructions for the required volume for application.

How to Apply Sunscreen When Swimming

Sunscreen should be applied every time after swimming. Water washes away the protective film and, by reflecting the sun's rays, increases the dose of ultraviolet radiation received. Thus, when swimming, the risk of sunburn increases. However, due to the cooling effect, you may not feel the burn.

Excessive sweating and wiping with a towel are also reasons to re-protect the skin.

It should be remembered that on the beach, even under an umbrella, the shade does not provide complete protection. Sand, water and even grass reflect up to 20% of ultraviolet rays, increasing their impact on the skin.

How to protect your eyes

Sunlight reflected from water, snow or sand can cause painful burns to the retina. To protect your eyes, wear sunglasses with a UV filter.

Danger for skiers and climbers

In the mountains, the atmospheric “filter” is thinner. For every 100 meters of height, the UV index increases by 5 %.

Snow reflects up to 85 % of ultraviolet rays. In addition, up to 80 % of the ultraviolet reflected by the snow cover is reflected again by clouds.

Thus, in the mountains the Sun is most dangerous. It is necessary to protect your face, lower chin and ears even in cloudy weather.

How to deal with sunburn if you get sunburned

Use a damp sponge to moisten the burn.

Apply anti-burn cream to the burned areas

If your temperature rises, consult your doctor; you may be advised to take an antipyretic

If the burn is severe (the skin swells and blisters greatly), seek medical attention

A church appeared in the Achit fortress in 1790. The clergy register for 1838, the earliest found in the archives, states that “the church was built through the diligence of the parishioners. There are two thrones in the church: in the name of the Archangel Michael and the second in the name of Elijah the Prophet. There is a wooden fence around the graveyard, painted. The building is wooden with the same bell tower, itself is strong and the walls around it are sheathed with planks; the roof of both the church and the bell tower is painted with red and sometimes white paint.”

The clergy is assigned according to the staff: a priest, a deacon and two clergymen. It is assumed that the very first priest of the Achit Church was Alexei Serebrennikov, who served until 1796, and then was transferred as the third priest to the Peter and Paul Church of the Polevsky Plant. The ministers received salaries from the parishioners and also had a grain collection.

The new stone church was built in 1863 “with the diligence of the parishioners with the special assistance of the clergy with the use and expenditure of church funds.”

As noted in the Gazette of the Mikhailovo-Arkhangelsk Church, located in the 1st district of the Krasnoufimsky district of the Perm Diocese in the village of Achit for 1916, the church was built “of stone, covered with iron, with the same bell tower in one connection.” In 1890, the church was surrounded by a stone fence with three iron gates. The new church had three altars: 1st - in honor of the Presentation of the Lord, 2nd - in the name of the Archangel Saint Michael of God and the 3rd - in the name of the prophet of God Elijah.

According to the staff of the church, there are: a priest, a deacon, a psalm-reader and a prosphora. In 1916, the Achita parish included three settlements: With. Achit, in which there were 537 households with 1517 male souls and 1580 female souls, the village of Nizhny Vyselok with 12 households, in which 37 male souls and 35 female souls lived, and the village of Ust-Ut, located 2 versts (so in clergy register) with 9 courtyards and a population of 29 male souls and 30 female souls.

Old-timers remember how the bells were thrown from the church in Achit, how the icons were thrown out and burned. The people stood and, looking at this sacrilege, cried. They say that those who participated in the dropping of the bell and the destruction of the church in Acita soon fell ill and died, or died tragically for reasons known to God alone, or committed suicide.

The clergy also shared the fate of the church. The priest of the Achita Church, Pavel Vladimirovich Lutkov, who was left without a parish, was sent to the parish of the Belyaevskaya Church in the Orda region, Perm region, in 1936, and in the fall of the same year he accepted the duties of dean for the Orda region. In August 1937 he was arrested. From the materials of two interrogations, which were conducted on August 27 and September 9, 1937, it is clear that they tried to impose charges of counter-revolutionary activities on Lutkov. On October 1, 1937, clergyman Pavel Vladimirovich Lutkov was shot. The authorities did not leave his wife Lidiya Vasilyevna Savelova alone. She was arrested in the same year, 1937, and by the decision of the Troika she was imprisoned for 10 years in a correctional labor camp.

The church building has undergone major reconstruction. The dome and bell tower were demolished, and a second floor was built inside the building. On the ground floor there was an auditorium for watching films, and in the altar there was a cinema booth. A stage was built on the second floor and a folk drama theater and library were installed there. Long years in the building former church these cultural institutions were located.

In 1972, a typical house Cultures for 600 places. The housewarming party was celebrated by a cinema hall and a folk drama theatre, the library received its new premises in a wooden building, and the building of the former church passed to new owners: on the ground floor they equipped gym, and on the second floor there was a regional House of Pioneers and Schoolchildren.

August 2, 1997 can be called the second birthday of the Acita Church in the name of the Archangel Michael. On this day, in the presence of representatives of the Yekaterinburg diocese, the first divine service, after many decades of oblivion, was held. It was conducted by Priest Vladimir Kisyakov together with the clergy of the city of Krasnoufimsk. From that day on, church services began to be held regularly, although only in a small part of the first floor, where an art workshop and gym were previously located. But it was already a success. Although the struggle for the building continued for almost ten years. It was only in 2006 that the Schoolhouse and Sports School moved to other premises, and the church building was completely returned to the parishioners. Priest Vladimir Kisyakov became the rector of the church.

Thanks to the efforts of Father Vladimir, the church began to take on the appearance of a real church, and Father Vladimir wants to make it exactly as it was before the destruction. Although this turned out to be difficult. There was no design and construction documentation left anywhere, not a single photograph was found of what the temple looked like from the outside. True, according to the decision of the regional authorities, before destroying or rebuilding buildings, local authorities were obliged to draw up drawings of the external and internal view temple. But alas, there were no specialists in Achit at that time... We could only rely on the memories of the old-timers. We remembered something. We placed an order for an architectural project. A sketch of the temple appeared, old-timers say that this is what the church building was like. Father Vladimir is carrying out reconstruction based on this project. The intermediate walls have already been removed and the second floor has been removed. The altar took its place, the choirs and pulpit were equipped. The front part of the church is already equipped and truly furnished: services are held here, the church sacraments of baptism, weddings, and funerals are performed. The village of Achit stands on a holy place. Three major roads converge here. Thanks to this, the residents of Achit are witnesses to many religious processions, which now pass through Achit almost every year. In 1999, a religious procession took place through Achit in honor of the 2000th anniversary of the Nativity of Christ. Along the route, participants in the religious procession placed worship crosses near church buildings. Such a cross was also installed near the building of the Achit Church.

Geography

The village is located on the banks of the Achit River (the right tributary of the Biserti), 196 km west of Yekaterinburg and 13 km from the Ufimka railway station (on the Kazan - Yekaterinburg line).

Story

The first settlement on Achitka arose in the 17th century during the development of the route to Siberia. In 1735, the Achitskaya fortress was built on this site to protect Russian settlements and factories from nomads. In 1754, Tatishchev built a wooden fortress to protect against the attacks of nomads. After the end of the peasant war, Achit turned into a tract village, the population of which was engaged in arable farming, carting, and yam farming. During the Civil War, the village repeatedly experienced tragedies associated with the confrontation between the white and red movements.

Notes

Links

At five o'clock in the evening the battle was lost at all points. More than a hundred guns were already in the hands of the French.
Przhebyshevsky and his corps laid down their weapons. Other columns, having lost about half of the people, retreated in frustrated, mixed crowds.
The remnants of the troops of Lanzheron and Dokhturov, mingled, crowded around the ponds on the dams and banks near the village of Augesta.
At 6 o'clock only at the Augesta dam the hot cannonade of the French alone could still be heard, who had built numerous batteries on the descent of the Pratsen Heights and were hitting our retreating troops.
In the rearguard, Dokhturov and others, gathering battalions, fired back at the French cavalry that was pursuing ours. It was starting to get dark. On the narrow dam of Augest, on which for so many years the old miller sat peacefully in a cap with fishing rods, while his grandson, rolling up his shirt sleeves, was sorting out silver quivering fish in a watering can; on this dam, along which for so many years the Moravians drove peacefully on their twin carts loaded with wheat, in shaggy hats and blue jackets and, dusted with flour, with white carts leaving along the same dam - on this narrow dam now between wagons and cannons, under the horses and between the wheels crowded people disfigured by the fear of death, crushing each other, dying, walking over the dying and killing each other only so that, after walking a few steps, to be sure. also killed.
Every ten seconds, pumping up the air, a cannonball splashed or a grenade exploded in the middle of this dense crowd, killing and sprinkling blood on those who stood close. Dolokhov, wounded in the arm, on foot with a dozen soldiers of his company (he was already an officer) and his regimental commander, on horseback, represented the remnants of the entire regiment. Drawn by the crowd, they pressed into the entrance to the dam and, pressed on all sides, stopped because a horse in front fell under a cannon, and the crowd was pulling it out. One cannonball killed someone behind them, the other hit in front and splashed Dolokhov’s blood. The crowd moved desperately, shrank, moved a few steps and stopped again.
Walk these hundred steps, and you will probably be saved; stand for another two minutes, and everyone probably thought he was dead. Dolokhov, standing in the middle of the crowd, rushed to the edge of the dam, knocking down two soldiers, and fled onto the slippery ice that covered the pond.
“Turn,” he shouted, jumping on the ice that was cracking under him, “turn!” - he shouted at the gun. - Holds!...
The ice held it, but it bent and cracked, and it was obvious that not only under a gun or a crowd of people, but under him alone, it would now collapse. They looked at him and huddled close to the shore, not daring to step on the ice yet. The regiment commander, standing on horseback at the entrance, raised his hand and opened his mouth, addressing Dolokhov. Suddenly one of the cannonballs whistled so low over the crowd that everyone bent down. Something splashed into the wet water, and the general and his horse fell into a pool of blood. No one looked at the general, no one thought to raise him.
