The population is nyrob. My Perm region: Nyrob

The village of gt, belongs to the Cherdynsky district, the center of an urban settlement.
There are 5523 inhabitants according to the 2010 census. The capital of the former NYROBLAG.

Despite the fact that Nyrob is located a good thousand kilometers from the nearest ocean, in a sense, this village is the end of the earth. In fact, to the south of Nyrob is “our land” - with cities, villages and free people. To the north - for many tens of kilometers - the “Lost Land” stretches - zones, zones, zones... They were built here under the “Father of Nations”, but unlike many other places where the camps were abolished, in the Perm region they still operate to this day. The village itself (which also has a zone) is famous for the fact that the uncle of the first tsar from the Romanov dynasty, Mikhail Nikitich Romanov, was imprisoned here (since 1601).

Nyrob (emphasis on the letter “s”) can be reached by regular buses along the only road from Perm, Solikamsk and Cherdyn. Currently, Nyrob has become noticeably more accessible - the construction of a fully asphalted highway to the village is almost complete, and all ferry crossings have been replaced by modern bridges. To the north and northeast of the village there are roads past abandoned and semi-abandoned villages to zones, camps and clearings. Since 2003, the winter road connecting the Komi Republic and the Perm region has been restored. In summer there is no road accessible for vehicles in this direction yet. However, it is when you get to Nyrob from the Komi side that you can fully experience the atmosphere of this place.

Originally - the Komi-Permyak village of Nyryb (the Komi-Permyaks lived here at the beginning of the 18th century). Nyr in the Komi-Permyak language means “nose”, yb means “field”, i.e. “Nosovo field”, or “Nose field” (in 1579, Ivanko Nos, the founder of the local surname Nosov, lived in Nyrob). In 1601, Tsar Boris Godunov sent Mikhail Nikitich Romanov, the uncle of the future Tsar Mikhail Romanov, to the village from Moscow into exile, who soon died here (according to some sources, he was killed).

Between 1613 and 1617, after the construction of the wooden St. Nicholas Church here, Nyrob received the status of a graveyard (the center of a district of villages inhabited by black-sown (personally free) peasants), then a village. In 1913, the future prominent political and military figure of the Soviet state, K. E. Voroshilov, served his exile here.
In 1930, the collective farm “Red Plowman” was founded. 26 Feb. 1951 with the merger of the agricultural enterprises “Red Plowman”, “Red Ural”, “Zarya” and them. Voroshilov, an enlarged collective farm appeared. Voroshilov (since 1957 - named after Sverdlov, liquidated in 1968). In the 1930s. here there was a Cherdynsky logging site, a fish farm, an industrial plant, a Kolvinsky forestry enterprise, and a fir factory.
In January 1945, the Nyrobsky ITL (GULAG) was organized (existed until 1960), its administration was stationed in the village. The maximum number of prisoners in the camp is 25,200 people employed in logging, woodworking, and maintaining workshops.
Urban settlement from January 2. 1963

The ancient village of Nyrobka, first mentioned in 1579 and located in a harsh region on the way from Cherdyn to Pechora, would not have become widely known if it had not been chosen at one time for reprisals against Mikhail Nikitich Romanov. Events unfolded at the very beginning of the 17th century: Mikhail Romanov, along with his four brothers, were accused of conspiracy by Boris Godunov and exiled to places worse than which could not be found in Russia at that time.

At the beginning of 1601, Mikhail Romanov was brought in chains in a covered cart to Nyrobka, a village with 6 households. On the outskirts of the village, they dug a hole “a fathom deep, a fathom long and wide,” which was covered on top with a wooden deck with a slot for serving food. The pit was dark and damp, not very suitable for life. By winter, a fireplace was equipped - Romanov’s home was heated using black heat.
An indicative case occurred next: the Nyrobtsy, as is usual in Rus', became imbued with sympathy for the man whom the guards kept in a pit, and began to secretly feed him. They gave the children food, which they secretly threw into the pit. However, this case was discovered, and punishment followed: the owners of five of the six households (the informer who exposed the rest lived in the sixth) were detained and sent to Kazan, where one of them died during interrogations.

In August 1602, Mikhail died (killed by governor Tushin) and was buried not far from the place of his imprisonment. In 1606, on the orders of False Dmitry I, the ashes of Mikhail Romanov were removed from the ground, transported to Moscow and buried in the Romanov family tomb in the Novospassky Monastery.

Nyrobka's life changed in 1613, when Mikhail Fedorovich, the nephew of Mikhail Nikitich, took the throne. He ordered the construction of a church in Nyrobka and appointed two priests here. In 1621, Nyrobka became a free economic zone - the tsar granted the village a “whitewashing charter”. The letter indicated that for outstanding services in supporting the Nyrob prisoner with food and as compensation for damage suffered during the exile of local peasants to Kazan, the village received tax exemption (the exemption was valid until 1720).

In 1704, the St. Nicholas Church, richly decorated with stone patterns, was built in the village, which still stands today. A chapel was erected on the site of Mikhail Romanov’s pit, and in 1736 another church, Epiphany Church, was built on the site of the grave. Inside it, at the northern wall, the most important Nyrob relic was kept - the three-pound chains in which Mikhail was kept in the pit. Local residents were convinced of their miraculous powers; according to legend, not only people, but also livestock were healed from them. Under Soviet rule, the shackles were transported to the Cherdyn Local History Museum.

The first documentary mention of the village of Nyrobka dates back to 1579. The entire village then consisted of only six courtyards.

Nyrob has had prison traditions for a long time. In 1601, it was here that Tsar Boris Godunov exiled his main rival, accused of witchcraft, Mikhail Nikitich Romanov, the uncle of the future Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich, the first of the royal Romanov dynasty. That is why a small provincial village became known throughout Russia.

For the eminent prisoner, on the outskirts of the village, a hole was dug “a fathom of depth, a fathom of length and width.” The top of the pit was covered with a wooden flooring, in which only a slot was made for lowering food. The conditions were truly terrible. The pit was damp, cold, dark. Only by winter was a simple hearth equipped, heated without a chimney in a black way. In addition, the heavy chains were not removed from Mikhail.

Local residents helped the prisoner as best they could. They secretly fed him by secretly throwing food into the pit. When they were exposed, the residents themselves were punished. Six divers were arrested and sent from the village to the capital. A few years later, only two returned - the rest died.

Despite the difficult conditions of detention in the pit, Mikhail lived for quite a long time - almost a year. Mikhail died in August 1602. He was buried not far from the place of detention. Four years later, the ashes were removed and transported to Moscow, to the Romanov family tomb.

In 1613, Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov came to power. For helping the prisoner, the residents of Nyrobka were freed from taxes and a church was built here.

There are two main attractions in Nyrob that are worth coming here for - the pit in which Mikhail Romanov was kept and the ancient St. Nicholas Church.

The stone five-domed St. Nicholas Church was built in 1704. The church is decorated with beautiful figured bricks.

Near St. Nicholas Church there is another architectural monument - the Church of the Epiphany, built in 1736 on the site of Romanov’s grave.

Meanwhile, it was in it that the shackles of Mikhail Romanov were kept. They were the main shrine of Nyrob, several thousand pilgrims came to touch it every year. People were confident in their miraculous, healing power. Currently, the shackles are kept in the local history museum of Cherdyn, and a copy of them is in the museum of the city of Krasnoufimsk, Sverdlovsk region (according to another version, on the contrary, there is only a copy in Cherdyn; disputes on this issue do not subside).

Romanov's Pit is located a couple of hundred meters from here. Before the revolution, first a wooden and then a stone chapel stood above the pit. She was named in the name of the spiritual patron Mikhail Romanov - in the name of Archangel Michael.

Around the pit is a fence with curious stone pillars, erected for the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty. On the fence posts you can see hammered copper memorial plaques.

The Soviet government did not ignore this place. In the 1930s, the chapel was destroyed and the decorations were taken from the fence. On the site of Romanovsky Square there was a recreation park. After the fall of the regime, Romanovsky Square began to be slowly restored.

We can say that Nyrob is a real edge of the geography of the Perm region. To the north there are only areas for prisoners.

Near Nyrob there is a unique St. Nicholas spring. It is located on the right side at the entrance to the village.

The water of the source is clean, tasty, and contains silver impurities, which gives the water strengthening and healing properties.

According to legend, in 1619, the icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker appeared in this place and a spring gushed out. In honor of such an event, the St. Nicholas Church was built in Nyrob, and a wooden chapel was erected above the spring at the site of the appearance of the icon.

During the revolutionary turmoil, the icon was lost. A copy of it is kept in the Museum of the History of Faith in Cherdyn. On May 22 and January 19, religious processions are held at this place.

Near Nyrob there is the longest cave in the Urals - Divya Cave (its length is 10,100 meters).

How to get to Nyrob?

Nyrob can be called a city of prisoners, because according to some sources, the local population here is even smaller than the prisoners held in local colonies. It is curious that, being in the Cherdynsky district of the Perm Territory, Nyrob is larger in population (just over 7 thousand people) than the regional center itself.

Nyrob is a village 40 km north of Cherdyn. In terms of population, it surpasses the regional center (7 thousand inhabitants), but visually Nyrob is a large and gloomy village, which I privately dubbed “the village of Zekovka.” Nowadays, this is one of the largest centers of the “republic of prisoners”, located in the north of the Perm Territory, and the prison traditions here go back about 400 years: in 1601, on the orders of Boris Godunov, his main rival, the boyar Mikhail Niktich Romanov, was exiled and tortured. And as a result, back at the end of the 17th century. here something like modern “monasteries of the new martyrs” appeared with the beautiful St. Nicholas Church.

The Cherdynsky district surprises with its historicity - there is something remarkable in almost every village, and there are more churches per unit of area (and even more so per unit of population) than in the Tver region. Besides Nyrob, the most interesting village is Pyanteg, where a unique church has been preserved, probably rebuilt from a fort tower in 1617. The age of the log house itself is not known, and it is not just the oldest building in the Urals, but also at least 100 years older than any other.

However, Pyanteg is on a different road, 60 km away, and buses run only twice a day and take people to Cherdyn to work, so I didn’t get there.

But almost every village on the Nyrobsky tract is interesting. For example, Pokcha is 5 km from Cherdyn - here in 1472-1505 (when the Cherdyn principality was a vassal of Moscow) the Russian voivodeship was located, from which barely noticeable ramparts of the fort have been preserved; in the 19th century Several blocks of merchant houses appeared, worthy of a county town, the Kazan chapel of a primitive appearance and the Annunciation Church (1885), which was struck by lightning twice (at the very beginning and at the very end of the twentieth century):

In the village of Vilgort there are also several merchant mansions and a very beautiful Trinity Church (1772, refectory and bell tower 1902):

Two more churches are in the villages of Kamgort and Iskor. In the taiga, 5 km from Iskor, there is a rock called Narrow Street, 50 m high, cut from base to top by a crack a little less than a meter wide. On the mountain there are the remains of ramparts and a sanctuary, and the belief says that those who climb up the “street” will be forgiven all their sins.
In a word, the concentration of history in the Cherdyn region is at the level of the Pskov region.

And then you enter Nyrob, or rather its distant region of Lyunva:

The traveler is greeted here by ZONES. They stretch along the road for several kilometers - triple fences, rings of barbed wire, towers, barracks, boiler pipes, gloomy jailers, mountains of firewood and sawdust. Barking dogs and howling sawmills. The “population” of these camps is, according to various sources (unofficial), from 2 to 4 thousand people, that is, in the “republic of prisoners” this is a full-fledged city.

And here are residential buildings. It’s scary to imagine this life among the zones, when what is happening outside the perimeter can be observed from the windows. By the way, escapes from the camps are also regular, and the danger of encountering an escaped criminal is great throughout the area.

I was unable to take adequate photographs on the Nyrobsky tract - both times the bus was overcrowded, and I was sitting in the wrong place. Therefore, I apologize for using other people's photos and the poor quality of my own.

Narob itself, in its structure, reminded me of Solikamsk, only 10 times smaller. It is also long and chaotic, and also consists of three districts. In Solikamsk there is an industrial zone, Old Solikamsk and Borovsk. In Nyrob - Lyunva, Old Nyrob and Gorodok.

Old Nyrob is a large and uncomfortable village, which I associate more with Siberia than the Urals. Although, despite its remoteness, the main street here is paved, and there are cell phone towers on the ridge:

Squat and roughly built Ural huts against the backdrop of ridges:

There is no running water here, and water is collected from such structures - I cannot say why they are so large. Maybe pumping stations, or maybe reservoirs:

The people here, it seemed to me, are not aggressive - but gloomy and withdrawn. However, the looks often made me feel uneasy. Goats and roosters are also found:

However, there is something in Nyrob that is worth coming here for - St. Nicholas Church, built in 1704 in memory of Mikhail Romanov:

At the beginning of the 17th century. Nyrob was one of the most distant possessions of Russia - Siberia was then still in the process of colonization, and it was not safe to send someone there. Mikhail Nikitich was exiled here, essentially, to death - he was kept in a hole with bars, where both rain and snow penetrated, and where it was impossible to even stand up to his full height, and even in shackles weighing about 30 kg. Residents, seeing such a sophisticated and incomprehensible mockery, secretly helped the boyar - they brought him food and water, for which they were repeatedly tortured. Romanov died six months later.

Everyone knows what happened next. Although Godunov was a fairly wise ruler (for example, Moscow University could well have appeared at the beginning of the 17th century), he was unlucky with the weather; two crop failures in a row caused the worst famine in all Russian history (up to 1/3 of the population died), which turned into the Time of Troubles , the finale of which was the accession of the Romanovs. They did not forget about Nyrob - even under Mikhail Fedorovich, the residents of Nyrob were freed from taxes, and at the end of the 17th century. Construction of the memorial church began.

The temple turned out to be one of the most beautiful in the Urals - its decorations are worthy of the churches of Solikamsk:

True, the impression was slightly spoiled by the conversation with the rector - the priest here is exactly the same as the haters of the Russian Orthodox Church imagine him to be. Well, it happens, not everyone is like that! But the girl who washed the floor in the temple, on the contrary, seemed very kind and bright to me.

Church house:

The cross “In memory of the repressed RUSSIANS” is very politically incorrect:

The second church is Epiphany Church (1736), headless and nondescript:

There is also a wonderful wooden House of Culture:

And a little to the side - this is a house occupied by a certain “Memorial Center of M.N. Romanov”:

I suspect it was some kind of museum, but there was a lock on the door, and there was no sign that anyone would open it.
And a little further (more precisely, if you go from Cherdyn, a little closer) - Yama Romanova:

“The Pit of the New Martyrs” is precisely a Ural phenomenon. Ganina Yama, where the bodies of the royal family were dumped, Alapaevskaya mine, where the same happened with the bodies of the seven great princes - they appeared in 1918. The Romanov dynasty left the Ipatiev Monastery and ended in the Ipatiev House, and moreover, it began and ended its history in the Ural pits.

A very beautiful modern fence around the Pit was built at the beginning of the twentieth century. Inside the fence there is a vast wasteland and an openwork chapel above the Pit itself, looking more like a cage:

The gates were tightly locked, as was the door to the Memorial Center. In general, I decided to stupidly climb over the fence. The chapel turned out to be bolted, but not locked, and I calmly opened the door:

Here is the Pit itself. I can’t believe that this is the original - it’s more likely a dummy. But the dummy is historical, it is at least a hundred years old:

At the bottom are flowers, icons and trash. Moreover, they coexist peacefully there - this, in my opinion, is our whole life!

Two memorial plaques from 1915, when the Pit was reconstructed (and the chapel itself, by the way, is modern - before the Revolution it was wooden):

In the past, the original shackles of Romanov lay here, now stored in the Cherdyn Museum:

Thirty kilograms, and also a grill over your head and nowhere to protect yourself from the cold... In general, the fate of Nicholas II, who was “only” shot, HERE does not seem so terrible. In the past, pilgrims put shackles on themselves and prayed in the pit. Nowadays they come to the museum and just kiss them.

Near the fence is a former almshouse, now a hospital in a pleasant modern building (the only one in the village):

The far part of Nyrob, where the bus station is located - Gorodok. It takes about half an hour to walk from the bus station to the church, but since the whole of Nyrob is one street, the bus passes by the churches both there and back, and within the village also with a conductor.

The town is mostly built up with houses like this, and the people there are more lumpen than in Old Nyrob - apparently, they are newcomers:

Nyrob is considered here to be “the end of the earth” - normal people hardly live beyond that, and there are more zones than villages. And even further, behind a strip of dense forests, the inhabited land of the Komi Republic begins again. In general, the Cherdynsky district is located at the latitude of South Karelia.

I went to Nyrob from Cherdyn for a short time. I spent two nights in Cherdyn itself - in the evening of the first day I arrived from Solikamsk, in the morning of the third I left for Berezniki. And in general, Perm the Great is quite worthy of the Vologda region.

We'll finish with Perm the Great here, but the trip to Perm the Great is less than half of this entire trip.
