An excerpt characterizing the Black Yar

- I watch the bastards! That's non-smoke! Yes, dead, dead and eat ... smeared than that.
Pierre also moved to the church, which had something that caused exclamations, and vaguely saw something leaning towards the fence of the church. From the words of comrades who saw it better, he learned that this was something was the corpse of a man, delivered to the end of the fence and smeared in the face of soot ...
- Marchez, Sacre Nom ... Filez ... TENTE MILLE DIABLES ... [go! Go! Damn! Devils!] - Konvoy's curses were heard, and French soldiers with new ozoblotes dispersed with Tesakov, a crowd of prisoners, looked at the dead man.

According to the alleys of Khamovnikov, the captives walked alone with their convoy and wagons and wages belonging to the convoy and driving from behind; But, after going to the provincial shops, they fell into the middle of a huge, closely moving artillery tramming mixed with private wagons.
At the most bridge, everyone stopped, waiting for those who have advanced in front. From the bridge, the prisoners opened at the rear and ahead of the endless rows of other moving visits. To the right, where the Kaluga road was bent past a dishepnight, disappeared away, the endless ranks of troops and accessories stretched. These were Bogarna's previously released by all troops; Nazady, along the embankment and through the stone bridge, the troops and calls are stretched.
The troops of God, to which the prisoners belonged to, walked through the Crimean ferrod and already partly joined the Kaluga street. But the calls were so stretching that the latter of Bogarna had not left Moscow to Kaluga Street, and the head of the troops did not leave the Big Ordinet.
Having passed the Crimean Brod, the prisoners moved several steps to several steps and stopped, and again moved, and from all sides the crews and people were more and more shy. Passing for more than an hour of those several hundred steps that separate the bridge from the Kaluga Street, and reaching the square, where the Zamoskvoretsky streets with Kaluga, prisoners, compressed in a bunch, stopped and stood for several hours at this intersection. From all sides, heard inexpoxible as the noise of the sea, the roar of the wheels, and the football of the legs, and the inappropriate angry cries and curses. Pierre stood pressed against the wall of the burnt house, listening to this sound, merging in his imagination with the sounds of the drum.
Several prisoners of officers to see better, they climbed the wall of the burned house, whose stood Pierre.
- The people then! Eka people! .. And on the guns, they dulled! Look: fur ... - they said. - You're, sterrets, rewarded ... Won from being behind, on the cart ... After all, it is from the icon, she is God! .. This is Germans should be. And our man, she god! .. Oh, scoundrels! .. Hit, peeped up, there is a nation! Here are those on, trembling - and those captured! .. Hit, sat down on the chests. Batyushki! .. got up! ..
- So on the face of the face! Stage until the evening you will not wait. Look, look ... And this is true, Napoleon himself. See, horses what! In monograms with crown. This is a folding house. The bag dropped, does not see. Again, the woman with a baby, and thoroughly. Yes, how, so you will miss you ... Look, and the end is not. Russian girls, she god, girls! In the stroller, because how deceased!
Again, a wave of general curiosity, like near the church in Khamovniki, took all prisoners to the road, and Pierre thanks to their growth through the heads of others saw what the curiosity of the prisoners had attracted. In three strollers who knew between the charging boxes, they drose, closely sitting on each other, discharged, in bright colors, virtued, something screaming by the squeaky voices of a woman.
Since the minute as Pierre was aware of the appearance of a mysterious strength, nothing seemed to him strangely or scary: neither the corpse, smeared for fun soot, nor these women who hurried somewhere, no fires of Moscow. Everything that Pierre now seen did not make almost no impression on him - as if his soul, preparing for difficult struggle, refused to accept the impressions that could weaken her.
The train of women drove. It was drawn again the carts, soldiers, trucks, soldiers, decks, carriages, soldiers, drawers, soldiers, the occasion of women.
Pierre did not see people separately, but saw the movement of them.
All these people, horses as if they chased some kind of invisible power. All of them, in continuation of an hour, during which Pierre observed them, floated from different streets with the same desire to pass more; They all equally, facing others, began to be angry, fight; White teeth were dowed, the eyebrows frowned, all the same curses were moved, and on all the faces it was the same all-strongly decisive and cruelly cold expression, which in the morning I struck Pierre in the sound of the drum on the face of the corporal.
Already before the evening, the convoy gathered his team and with a cry and disputes were herself in the summers, and the prisoners surrounded from all sides, went to the Kaluga road.
They walked very soon, not resting, and stopped only when the sun was already sitting. The sumizers gave out one on others, and people began to prepare for overnight. All seemed angry and unhappy. Long from different sides heard curses, evil cries and fights. The carriage that killed the back of the convoyed, put on the wagon of the convoy and struck her breath. Several soldiers from different sides fled to the wagon; Some beat on the heads of horses harvested in the carriage, folding them, others fought among themselves, and Pierre saw that one German was hardly injured in the head.
It seemed that all these people were tested now when they stopped in the middle of the field in the cold twilight of the autumn evening, the same feeling of unpleasant awakening from the hasty sweeping and rapidly movement. Stopping, everything seemed to understand that it is not known yet, where they go, and that there will be a lot of hard and difficult on this movement.
With the prisoners on this prival, the convoyed apply even worse than when speaking. On this prival, the first time the meat food of the prisoners was issued to horse.
From the officers to the last soldier, it was noticeable in each as if personal angration against each of the prisoners, so unexpectedly replaced by friendly relations.
Embankment it even more increased when, when recalculating the prisoners it turned out that during a fuss, leaving from Moscow, one Russian soldier, pretended to be sick from the abdomen, fled. Pierre saw the Frenchman beat the Russian soldier for the fact that he had moved away from the road, and heard the captain, his buddy, ignored Unter to the officer for the escape of the Russian soldier and threatened him by the court. At excuses Unter Officer that the soldier was sick and could not go, the officer said that it was ordered to shoot those who would lag behind. Pierre felt that the rock strength, which crumbbed it during the execution and which was invisible during the captivity, now again took possession of his existence. He was scared; But he felt like as the efforts, which made a rock paint, to crush it, in his soul it grown and fastened the power of life independently.

Black Yar county city Astrakhan province

(in Kalmyk Yankala) - the county city of Astrakhan province, in 256 versts from the city of Astrakhan, on the right steep coast of the Volga, having a black color.

Chernoyarsk county

Chernoyarsk county located in the northwestern part of the Astrakhan province; According to the measurement of Strelbitsy, the space of its 16272.8 square meters. km, and according to the information of the Astrakhan Meeting Department - 10055 square meters. Must or 1047445 tenthenes. The county falls into two parts: one stretches the narrow strip along the Right Bank of the Volga and consists of villages, which appeared in the second half of the XVIII century, and the second, consisting of villages lying along the Stavropol tract, began to settle with the city predominantly from the Malorosi provinces. Currently, there are 18 rather crowded villages and villages that form 7 volosts and lying among the Kalmyk nomads of Maloderbetovsky ulus to the limits of the Stavropol province. Both parts represent the steppe, but differ in both the quality of the soil and the configuration. In the northern part, ranging from Sarepta to the city of Black Yar, there is a steppe smooth, completely devoid of forest vegetation, in places, as, for example, at the villages of Sodlnikov and Vyazarovka, cutting into deep beams, in which a lot of water flowing in the Volga, and in the summer they Almost dry, with minor cunning streams. By the south, the terrain varies and although it seems to be slightly sophisticated, but the hill is not insignificant that they do not violate the total steppe nature of the area. The villages lying along the Stavropol tract occupy the most sublime area of \u200b\u200bCh. County, the so-called Ergen, cool to the east into the Kalmyt steppe and hollow to the West, to the border of the area of \u200b\u200bthe Don Troops. This area is raised by numerous ravines in which the current rivers are in the spring carry a lot of water, and in the summer they turn into minor streams, and therefore the villages lying away from the Volga suffer a lack of water. The sole of the Yergen stretches a number of rather significant lakes, such as, for example, the Tsanta, who has the same name of the village. The height of the area occupied by the Chernoyarsk county is a significant difference in its both halfs: the coast of the Volga region height is insignificant - 26 feet, in the area in the Stavropol tract, it reaches 387 feet from the village of Tunateov, and the village of 532 feet in the village of the Caspian Sea . The geological character of the steppe adjacent to the Volga is characterized by the sediments of the capture system relating to the so-called Caspian formation, and consists of intermittently clay and sandy layers entering into themselves the molluscs who are living in the Caspian Sea. The most famous exposure is at the city of Ch. Yara in 60 ³ / 4 feet and consists from above: from yellow clay sand 7 feet, dark clay sand 3 1/2 feet, brown clay 3 1/2 feet, brown clay and sandiness with sinks DREYSSENA ROSTIFORMIS, MONODAENA PROTRACTRAFurther should yellow sand with several clay layers or gray sand. Below the Caspian rocks, the dark blue clay and clay shale are locked. An exposure in Yergen consists of limestone - white, yellow and reddish color ( maetra Podolica.), under which there are reddish and gray quartz sandstones, and then dark green clay with a gypsum. Mineral resources C. County is generally poor; The village of Chapherniki from the sandstones are distinguished by the millstone, the village of Stone Yar comes across limestone, at the village of Slodniki - the roofing slate, the village of Vitazka - Selenite, and in Yergen - the deposits of gypsum, phosphorites, pickling stone, various salts and partly Zhelezna. The most fertile soil in the fergenesses consists of a lessa with a thin layer of chernozem containing no more than 6% humus. The coast of the Volga Soil is predominantly clay-sandy, the exception is a plot lying between the villages of the Railgorod and the wells, where the ground of the Earth is illuminated with a coster, and from the village of Vozitovka to the borders of the Yenotaevsky county comes across the soil black earth with sand or clay.

Water. Chernoyarsk County Score, with the exception of the Volga; There is almost no flow waters. From minor tributaries Volga: Sarp carries the greatest number Water and in a flood are connected to many lakes lying at the foot of the Ergee. River Vitazikovka and Lubovka, on which mills are available, originate in the winding mortgage (swamp); In the spring, they are burly and fast, and in the summer there are minor streams with saltwaten water. From the rivers, originating the beginning in Yergen, are most abundant with water: the trigger, the tangute and the oak ravine, forming the Tengutin lake, merging with the Lake Sarpinsky. Large and small ulata, flowing into a rather extensive freshwater lake - Tsatsa (having up to 6 square meters. At the sole of the Ergee, there are minor swampy places (mocheses).

Climate C. County dry, hot, continental, moisture loss is insignificant, in winter, short-term frosts are replaced by thaws.

The village of Black Yar is located on the right bank of the Lower Volga, in the north of the Astrakhan region. The date of the foundation is 1627, it was then that the "Black Ostrog" fortress was laid, which later because of the collapse of the shore in 1634 was transferred and renamed the Chernoyarsk Fortress.

In 1670, a historic meeting of the troops of Stepan Razin with Astrakhan Archers took place in Black Yar with the Astrakhan Archers. Here, not far from the village, Black Yar and Sodenniki occurred the last battle of the rebels with government troops during the peasant war under the leadership of Emelyan Pugacheva. In 1741, the city of Black Yar had burned down, but he was rebuilt again, and was heated by a parisade. In the early 19th century, part of the buildings of the Black Yar collapsed, and the residents had to settle down from the coast.

In 1870, a big fire happened in Black Yar again when the central part of the city burned out. After a fire, many brick buildings began to be erected. Mansions, shops, shops, bakery, tea, fire calans were built of bricks.

In 1883, heading from Siberia to the settlement to Astrakhan, N. Chernyshevsky stopped in Black Yar.

The settlement continued to develop and soon received the status of the city, however, in 1925, Black Yar was deprived of this status and turned into a village.

Fans of People's Artist of Russia Hope Babkina know that she was born in the village of Black Yar.

Here is the Petropavlovsk Church, built in 1741-1750. Thus, this is one of the oldest buildings of the Astrakhan region. Pilgrims The village of Black Yar is known as the place of residence of the Holy Skimnik of Bogelip Chernoyarsk. According to the story, a pious boy died at 7 years from the plague and became the defender and the patron saint of Black Yar. After Peter I ordered to compriment to his grave from the ground (because of his popularity among the Old Believers), residents of the village built a stone temple and continued to worship Bogolep.

Next to the church is an old cemetery, on which both Orthodox Cossacks are buried, and not so long ago. The peculiarity of Peter and Paul's church is that she never closed, even in Soviet times.

Also, the interest of Black Yar has archaeologists and paleontologists. In 1996, a resident of the village of Black Yar discovered under a disconnection at the edge of the water of the River Volga Bone Mammoth. In the same year, the Black Yar was organized a paleontological expedition of the Astrakhan Museum-Reserve under the direction of M.V.Golovachev. The result of the expedition to Black Yar was the unique skeleton of the Mammoth, who lived here 250-300 thousand years ago. This Chernoyarsk Nakhodka has confirmed the fact of habitat of these ancient animals in the territory of the Astrakhan region. Recovered Full Skeleton Mammoth is the main exhibit of the Paleontological Exhibition of the Local Lore Museum of Astrakhan. The height of the skeleton from the Black Yar, which is called by the Museum Museum, is 3 meters, and the length with the bevnesses is 5 meters and 10 centimeters.

But on this discovery did not stop. In 2009, a skeleton of prehistoric bison was found under Black Yar, and in 2010, the Museum-Reserve's Researchers in the village of the village of Black Yar again found fragments of the skeleton of the Trountary Elephant, or, simply, the Mammoth, which were transported to the Astrakhan Museum-Reserve.

Also in 2009, the collection of the Astrakhan Museum-Reserve was replenished with Sayigak Skull, inhabited in the Black Yar district of 300 thousand years ago. Paleontologists and scientists have established that during this period of time the saiga did not change at all. Saigas are some of the few major herbivores of those times who lived to our times. They survived Mammoth and woolly rhino, wild horses and a tour.

Employees of the Astrakhan Museum of Local History are planning after the completion of the capital repairs to expand the Paleontological Exhibition. The exposition will take three huge halls. Reconstructed mammoth and bison skeletons found by paleontologists in the Black Yar area will become the most impressive exhibits. It will take its place in exposure and petrified skull saiga.

Of course, in the village of Black Yar, too, there is a local lore museum - a branch of the Astrakhan historical and architectural museum-reserve. Three expositions are located in the Chernoyarsk Museum: "The history of the emergence and development of Black Yar", " Natural features Chernoyarsk district, "" Chernologists in the Great Patriotic War. " Currently, there are 2000 exhibits in the nature, history and culture of the Chernoyarsk district, various thematic exhibitions are exhibited, excursions, evenings and events are being held.

The village of Black Yar is located on the Volga in Astrakhan region.

The name of the village of Black Yar is a combination of two words: one original Russian - "black", denoting dark color, and the other, Turkic - "Yar", which is translated as "High steep shore, a river."

There is such a legend. Astrakhan Prince, returning on the ship on the Volga from his trip to Nizhny Novgorodwas forced to make a stop. Prince with a retinue ashore, they smashed the camp. The terrain was picturesque: a large green meadow, surrounded by a birch grove, a steep shore over the Volga, which he fought river water. The shore was so cool and high that, looking down, it seemed as if the water was completely black. Prince looked at the surroundings and said: "Let the settlement in which people will live at this place, and they will work on this fertile land. And the name of this village will be black Yar. "

Among the locals there are a legend that the name of the village is given in memory of a terrible event, which has long happened at this place. There was a few houses on the banks of the river, in which fishermen lived with their families. Moved merchants were driving and brought with them a lot of expensive goods. It was already started to be measured, but rumors went that the robbers appeared in these places, so they decided to stay at the night in Fisherman's village.

The hospitable hosts fed merchants and laid sleep. The robbers knew that the merchants stopped at fishermen and with them they had many values, waited until all the windows were ground and people fell asleep. They attacked the robbers at home, a lot of people killed, took riches, and bodies left with a steep shore in the Volga. In the morning, the survivors looked from the shore into the water and saw that she was all black from the blood, and since that time it became called Black Yar.

The word "black" for a long time was called all incomprehensible, mysterious, terrible. Often, this word was used as a definition of "activities" of sorcerers and witches, the faith in which the Russian person remained to this day. Consequently, Black Yar could get such a name because the sorcerers, witches and other "servants" of Satan lived in it. Confirmation of this version can be considered the legends and beliefs, which describe the goats of the soul to the Devil and who received the magical power of sorcerers who were damaged to the cattle and satisfying diseases on people, as well as stories about terrible rituals carried out by the priests of the mysterious Slavic gods and demons And so on. This kind of legends Chernoyarsk Old-timers know a lot, and therefore this place is so often visited by tourists and research expeditions.

Black Yar is notable for 1 0 and what is located in very picturesque places on the banks of the Volga. Local residents Actively engaged in fisheries, mining pike, catfish, roach and even such rare fish as a sterlet. Local residents argue that once in this village was stopped by A.N. Ostrovsky, who since childhood was a big lover to travel along the Volga.
