Kamensk shakhtinsky population size. Rest in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky

I lived and worked in Kamensk since 1966, first as a temporary worker at the Likhaya station, they built snow fences along the railway lines, starting from Kamensk and ending with Izvarin (Ukraine). Then, since 1967, my labor activity was associated with the "Rossiya" industrial complex, where I began to work, starting from the position of an apprentice in mechanical assembly work for the manufacture of non-standard equipment at a mechanical repair plant (RMZ), and in 1968 I left to serve in the ranks Soviet army. The service took place from 1968, after graduating from the 108 aviation school of mechanics for aviation weapons, located in the city of Mogilev-Podolsky, Vinnitsa region (Ukraine), until 1970 as part of the Group of Soviet Forces in Germany (GSVG). After the service, he worked at RMZ as a 4-grade mechanic and from there was sent to study at the preparatory department of the Kazan Chemical-Technological Institute named after V.I. CM. Kirov. After graduating from the institute he returned to work at the h / t "Russia", where he worked as a foreman at RMZ and head of a section at the production of polymers until May 1980. I always remember with warmth about Kamensk, I was proud that I lived in this city and worked at the h / c "Russia", where I acquired basic practical knowledge and skills that were useful to me in my future career. Chief Sigida I.G. - it was he who spoke to me heart to heart, when I was sent to work as a turner apprentice at the RMZ, asked who I wanted to work, - answered: a mechanic. I called the head of the machine shop, VN Ternovy, if he had a place for a locksmith's apprentice. I got to work in the team of locksmiths Kurilekh T.I., where I was very well received. The workers of the highest class, whom I called professors of their field, worked - these are Kurilekh T.I., Stepanishchev V.A., Trembach V.I., Rudoy L., Gaiduk V.A. Shelestyukov I.I., Surzhenko P.I., Khanin N.I., Akimov V., etc. He worked for one year at the State Test Center of Burners NPO "Soyuzpromgaz". And since June 1981, my destiny has been associated with the protection of pipelines and their connections from corrosion in the oil and gas industry. He worked for 7 years at the TatNIPIneft Institute, and in 1988 he organized the Engineering and Production Center LLC, which successfully competes with leading Western firms in its field, the developments are protected by about 150 patents of the Russian Federation for inventions and utility models. It is a pity that in the 90s everything was destroyed and, in particular, you cannot return what is associated with the transfer of knowledge and experience to young workers, to that generation of workers of the highest class who are no longer among us. I think that Kamensk will revive and prosper. The policy in the state should change towards industrial and agricultural production. With great respect to the residents of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, Honored Inventor of the Russian Federation V.M. Ayduganov

We passed three districts pretty quickly: Chertkovsky, Millerovsky and Tarasovsky. And now we are entering one of the most beautiful and interesting areas of our region. Perhaps, there can be more frequent stops at interesting places on the track.

Attractions of the Kamensky district

After the 893 km, the very beautiful Kamensky district begins.

Perhaps, Kamensky and Krasnosulinsky (neighboring) are the most interesting districts of the Rostov region. There is a varied landscape: many hills, rocks, lakes, rivers, even waterfalls - you can find something to admire.

At kilometer 903 - turn onto farm Astakhov.

In this farm there is a wooden (a rarity in our area) Church of the Exaltation of the Cross of the 19th century.

In this church there is an icon associated with the history of the Don Cossacks.

It is less than 4 kilometers from the highway to Astakhov.

At the 928th kilometer, in front of Kamenskoye, there is a junction to Staraya Stanitsa.

Be sure to visit the landscape park in Staraya Stanitsa.

It is only 4 kilometers away from the highway (to the right if driving from Moscow). The park is free to visit.

And, of course, you can look into the 928th kilometer of the track. From Kamensk-Shakhtinsky to Rostov-on-Don, there is already a little left, only 142 kilometers.

After entering Kamensk we cross the Seversky Donets river.

There is a Lukoil gas station right after the bridge.

In Kamensk-Shakhtinsky you can see the embankment, Mayakovsky park, the Church of the Intercession of the Holy Mother of God and the places where 55 years ago Sergei Gerasimov filmed episodes of the film "Quiet Don".

The Church of the Intercession was built in the 90s of the last century. But, despite the fact that it is modern, the temple is beautiful - made of red bricks, with a carved top. It is located at Gagarin Street, 91.

Kamenskaya embankment is small but picturesque. On it there is a monument to a fisherman, whose fishing rod is constantly being stolen. By the way, the fisherman has a name - Trofimych.

He's even featured on local souvenirs. In particular, in my collection of mugs from different cities and countries there is a mug from Kamensk-Shakhtinsky depicting a fisherman on the embankment.

And in the Mayakovsky park there is the former Marusina dacha, about which there are many legends. Nowadays it is the House of Nature - a museum where you can get acquainted with the flora and fauna of the area.

Another attraction of the city is Bike Hotel in Kamensk, 932th kilometer of the M4-Don highway, coordinates N 48.15.158, E 40.17.562 (but they are unlikely to be needed, it is impossible not to notice the hotel). The only bike hotel in Russia, by the way.

If you want not only to relax, but also to get a lot of impressions, you can stay at the Bike Hotel. Despite the name, it's not just for bikers.

Interesting design solutions, motorcycles at the headboards, cool drinks machines ...

If there is no time, opportunity or desire to settle in the hotel, you can at least just look at it from the outside.

Or go to the bike cafe, which also has a stylish motorcycle design.

And if you have time to linger a little in the Kamensky district, then you can see two more interesting objects here:

Lake eldorado - not only a beautiful place, but also decorated with great imagination, in the spirit of the mythology of the ancient Indians (by the way, this place belongs to the famous Kamensk biker and the owner of the same "Bike Hotel", so it is very likely to see bikers on the lake).

How to get to Lake Eldorado: if you are driving along the highway from Moscow, then immediately after the bridge across the Seversky Donets go to the junction to the right under the bridge. The lake is 12 kilometers away.

Coordinates of Lake Eldorado Kamensk-Shakhtinsky: 48 ° 14'52 ″ N 40 ° 24'27 ″ E. Photos of Eldorado and detailed descriptions of how to get there.

A visit to the lake is paid.

Another very striking attraction of the Kamensky region, which is rightfully included in the seven wonders of the Rostov region, is the Long Canyon.

30 kilometers from the highway. This is a very beautiful place, the longest lake in the Kamensky district and the longest flooded quarry in the Rostov region. It is also called Long Lake, Long Lake and Worm - for its shape. The lake is 2 kilometers long and 200 meters long, and only 100 meters wide (at its widest point).

How to get to the Long Canyon: as on Eldorado, towards Nizhnegoveiny, but we do not turn off at Eldorado, but go further, to the quarry office. Then to the right along the first lakes. After passing two lakes, we turn right again and further until the road splits into two. We choose the right road and along it - to the lake. Coordinates of the Long Canyon of the Kamensky District: 48 ° 13'49 "N 40 ° 20'32" E. If you want to see something really amazing, be sure to go there, climb some steep and admire the lake from above. The Long Canyon is free to visit.

Photo of the Long Canyon and description of the way here.

At the 944th kilometer there is an interchange to Volgograd and Likhuya. From here to Volgograd exactly 400 kilometers, to Likhoy - only 3. We were there and there. But there isn't much to do in Dashing. Well, Volgograd is simply not the topic here, this is no longer the Rostov region.

Of course, these are not all the sights of the Kamensky district, but only those that are very close to the highway.

Since our friends live in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, we will take a break in this place. We have four more districts of the Rostov region ahead. We drove only halfway.

For now, choose where you want to go. The roads of the world are open to all.

Are you interested in something from the sights I described along the M4-Don highway in the Rostov region?

Where would you stay? Well, at least for a short photo walk?

During the occupation of the city by the Nazis, local pioneers did not stand aside. They watched where the enemy's battle points and weapons depots were located. When the Red Army entered Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, the boys told the information about the enemies that they managed to collect, however, due to the fact that there were few Soviet soldiers, they were quickly thrown back out of the city, and the Nazis seized the schoolchildren and shot them in the basement of the building gymnasium number 12 (previously there was a school).

Historians argue

There are many versions of how the city was founded. Most of these versions were not officially accepted by historians. However, scientists avoid giving them up entirely. According to the "Military loan letter", Kamensk-Shakhtinsky (Kamensk town, then - stanitsa) was founded on September 22, 1671. The diploma, in turn, is mentioned in the work of the famous local historian V. Shumov. The document causes numerous controversies among historians, as many scholars doubt the reliability of the literacy. As one of the arguments, historians put forward the fact that the date on the letter looks too implausible: in pre-Petrine times, chronology was carried out from the biblical creation of the world, and not from the Nativity of Christ. The letter should have indicated 7180, not 1671. In addition, the document contains several phraseological phrases that were not typical for the second half of the 17th century. Another compelling argument: there was no single sample for drafting loan letters, therefore, it is impossible to determine the exact date of creation of a document, relying only on its structure.

There is a version that the Kamensk town was destroyed twice - in 1677 and 1685. In this regard, the town had to be moved to a new location - on the bank of the Glubokaya River. There is documentary evidence that the town was seriously damaged by the ruin of the Azov people in 1684. Presumably, the year of foundation of the Kamensky town was not 1671, but 1683. Many scientists believe that the settlement arose a year before its destruction by the Azov people.

Versions of the origin of the Kamensky town first appeared in the historical literature of the 19th century. After the abolition of serfdom, many peasants decided to go to the Don, where they were going to settle in the Cossack villages. Alien peasants formed a special social group called "nonresident". The opposition of the newcomers to the indigenous inhabitants significantly increased the status of the latter. Thanks to the growth of self-awareness of the inhabitants of Kamensky town, the indigenous population is interested in their own history. In the second half of the 19th century, the so-called "folk" versions of the emergence of the settlement were very popular. In the "folk" versions, the Kamensk town is represented by a more ancient settlement. Scientists prefer not to trust folk legends.

Official version

According to the official version, which historians prefer to adhere to, the decision to found the city was made at the ataman's military circle. 22 Cossacks submitted a request to found a new settlement. The request was granted, and on September 22, 1671, “on the Donets, in an empty yurt near the Kamenka river,” a settlement was founded, named after the nearby river, Kamensky town. There is a legend that the first settlers were pardoned participants in the uprising. Over time, the town began to be called a village.

Stanitsa

Kamenskaya had to change her "address" several times, not only because of the attacks of the Azovites. In the historical documents of the early 19th century, you can find references to the fact that the reason for the move was the spring flood. The last time the village was moved in 1816. Since the village was in dire need of educational institutions, in January 1812 a parish school was opened in Kamenskaya. A few years later, after the last transfer of the village, a four-year school was opened. Its students were graduates of the parish school. In 1903, a real school began to operate, which was intended to transfer to students "technical knowledge directly useful for industrial activity." In 1912, a female state gymnasium was built. In addition, there was a private female gymnasium of F.M. Mazurenko in the village. The house of the merchant Ivan Shovkoplyasov housed a male state gymnasium. The classrooms were located on the second floor.

In the early 1900s, a cinematograph was first brought to the village. The halls of the cinematographers bore names unusual for the villagers - "Odeon", "Soleil", "Renaissance". Inexperienced viewers were shown the short films "Eve's Apple", "Black Monster", "Queen of Courtesans" and others, fashionable in those years. The villagers cared about the spiritual life no less than about the availability of entertainment. At the end of the 19th century, the Nativity of Christ Church was built. Its construction cost 120 thousand rubles. In 1883, at the expense of the widow of Colonel Alexei Mashlykov, the Alexeevskaya Church was erected, which the widow dedicated to the memory of her late husband. The Pokrovskaya Church also functioned in the village.

Many people were born in the Kamenskaya stanitsa who, to one degree or another, contributed to the development of science, literature, art and culture. The most famous natives of the village are considered the writers N.M. Oleinikov and A.V. Kalinin, a public figure and an outstanding poet A.I. Petrovsky. Since 1922, the author of the book "Memories of the Itinerants" Y.D. Minchenkov lived in Kamensk. His work was included in the golden fund of world art literature. Minchenkov was a friend of famous artists Vasnetsov and. Yakov Danilovich was the initiator of the exhibitions of the Itinerants many times.

After the revolution

When the October Revolution was over, the turn of the civil war came. The village of Kamenskaya did not stand aside. The war began in the village in January 1918. A congress of frontline Cossacks was held in Kamenskaya. At the general meeting, it was decided to overthrow the government of Ataman Kaledin. The congress elected Donrevkom, which consisted of 15 people. Donrevkom was headed by F. Podtyolkov.

In 1920, the village of Kamenskaya became part of the Donetsk province, which belonged to the Ukrainian SSR. At the end of 1924, the North Caucasian Territory was created. It included the Shakhtinsky district with the Kamensky regional center - the village of Kamenskaya.

The new status and name of Kamensk stanitsa received on March 28, 1927. After 2 years, the name of the city was changed to Kamensk-Shakhtinsky (to distinguish it from).

The Great Patriotic War

In 1941, the beginning of the Great Patriotic War was announced in the country. A few hours after the outbreak of the war, the residents of Kamyanets gathered at the city military registration and enlistment office, wishing to sign up for the front as volunteers. By June 26, over one and a half thousand applications were submitted to the military registration and enlistment office. More than three hundred applications were received from women. At the end of October 1941, the headquarters of the Southern Front was located in the city, which was located here until mid-January 1942. The residents of Kamenka published a newspaper "To the Glory of the Motherland", edited by Boris Gorbatov, Sergei Mikhalkov and other famous people. Kamensk-Shakhtinsky became the homeland for the famous song of Modest Tabachnikov and Ilya Frenkel "Let's smoke".

The front line was approaching the city. On July 19, 1942, Kamensk-Shakhtinsky was occupied. The fascists dominated the city for 7 months. A "new order" was established for the residents of Kamenets, attempts to resist which were brutally suppressed. During the occupation, about one and a half thousand local residents were tortured in the city. The cruel reprisals did not stop the residents of Kamenets, attempts to resist continued. An underground committee appeared in the city. The head of the secret organization was sent from G. Pivovarov. The underground workers printed leaflets, agitating fellow citizens to resist the invaders, no matter what. G. Pivovarov died in January 1943 during the battles for the liberation of the city.

Kamensk residents defended not only their native Kamensk-Shakhtinsky. Local Komsomol members participated in the underground organization "Young Guard" in the city of Krasnodon. Among the underground members were Vasily Gukov, Stepan Safonov and student of the Kamensk Pedagogical School Alexandra Bondareva. Vasily and Alexandra died in January 1943. The young men were thrown into the pit of the Krasnodon mine together with some other soldiers. Stepan Safonov managed to escape. However, after a while he died in the battle for the liberation of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky in January 1943. S. Safonov was posthumously awarded. One of the streets of the modern city is named after Styopa Safonov.

After the German army was surrounded under, the Soviet troops advanced in a westerly direction. On January 14, the 169th Tank Brigade of Colonel A. Kodints and the 23rd Tank Corps of Major General E. Pushkin approached Kamensk-Shakhtinsky. Children came out of the city to meet them, pointing out the enemy's firing points to the Soviet wars. The first attempt to liberate the city was unsuccessful. The tanks were forced to retreat across the river. On January 20, the Nazis arrested more than fifty teenagers. All children were shot. Kamensk-Shakhtinsky was released only on February 13, 1943. On February 14, the soldiers who died during the liberation of the city were buried in Labor Square. G. Pivovarov was also buried here.

On May 9, 1971, on the day of the next anniversary of Victory, a Memorial Complex was opened on Labor Square, and a T-70 tank was installed on a pedestal, which was knocked out by the enemy in the battles for Kamensk-Shakhtinsky. Monuments to the fallen soldiers were erected near the artificial fiber plant and near the chemical plant. Many Kamyanets who fought on various fronts during the war years were awarded orders and medals for their courage and heroism.

Postwar years

When the war was over, the residents of Kamen, like residents of other cities of the USSR, set about restoring their hometown. By the early 1950s, local production teams were able to achieve pre-war productivity levels. Combine No. 515 (modern joint-stock company "Kamenskvolokno") produced its first products in September 1948. Then, in addition to artificial fiber, the plant began to produce viscose twine for haymaking. Viscose twine was exhibited at VDNKh. The main consumers of this type of product are rural residents of Georgia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Moldova. At many Kamensk enterprises, workshops were reconstructed and equipment was repaired. Some workshops were redesigned. The products of the Kamensk chemical plant were exported to 30 countries around the world.

In the 50s, a steam locomotive repair plant was built in the city. In 1955, he was redesigned into a mechanical engineering and began producing equipment for coal mines. The plant's products were well-known in England, China, Hungary, Poland, India, Germany and other countries. The Kamensk Experimental Mechanical Plant, in addition to producing electrodes, established the production of concrete mixer trucks, which were in great demand not only in the USSR, but also abroad. There was a confectionery factory in the city that produced more than a dozen names of products. Kamensky microdistrict Likhovskoy has become one of the largest railway junctions in the country. This status remains with Likhovsky to this day.

The cultural appearance of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky has also changed beyond recognition. Palaces of culture and many other institutions designed for cultural leisure appeared in the city.

Modern city

In modern Kamensk-Shakhtinsky there are more than a thousand enterprises that provide jobs for half of the city's population. Housing construction continues. The city administration pays special attention to the organization of cultural leisure of citizens, healthcare and the creation of new jobs. Small business is developing in the city. This area employs about nine thousand residents. Local social institutions are successfully carrying out their activities. Among them: the Center for Social Services, the Center for Social Assistance to Family and Children, and others. Kamensk health and medical institutions are regularly supplied with the latest equipment, due to which the level of medical care in the city meets all modern standards.

The schools of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky graduate hundreds of boys and girls every year. Local youth have the opportunity to get a profession without leaving their hometown, in higher and secondary technical educational institutions. Additional education in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky can be obtained at local sports and music schools. The city has a network of libraries and swimming pools. One of the sights of the city is the Kamensk Museum of Local Lore.

The main specialization of the city is coal mining. The woodworking, machine-building and food industries are no less developed. A network of banks and insurance companies operates in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky.

The city has grown significantly thanks to the annexation of several villages located on the southeastern and southern outskirts of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky. Among these settlements are the settlements of Shakhtersky, Montazhnikov, Yuzhny and others.

In the post-Soviet era, several temples and churches were built in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky: the Church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos, Holy Trinity Church, etc. Scenes for such famous films as "Quiet Don", "The Fate of a Man" and others were filmed in the city. The federal highway "Don" passes the southern border of the city. In the early 2000s, a bridge across the Seversky Donets was commissioned. The bridge is designed to ensure smooth traffic between

Distances to some cities by road:

• Rostov-on-Don - 142 km,
• Voronezh - 400 km,
• Krasnodar - 414 km,
• Moscow - 932 km.

The seaports of Taganrog and Azov are located at a distance of 211 km and 169 km, respectively.

The city stretches from north to south for 27 km (from the extreme points of the neighborhoods). In the central part it has an almost strictly rectangular layout: streets run from northwest to southeast, and lanes cross them from northeast to southwest.

Streets

The two main streets of the city are located perpendicular to each other and are oriented approximately to the cardinal points:

• karl Marx Avenue (former Donetsk Avenue) in common parlance Broadway is a wide boulevard stretching from the north-east to the south-west, starting from the Seversky Donets embankment. There are cultural and entertainment institutions, shops and offices, a registry office;
• lenin Street (since 1924; former Starovokzalnaya, then Sovetskaya) - from the north-west to the southeast, starts from the railway station and goes down to the Seversky Donets, it contains the main state institutions: the city administration, the police, the inter-district department of the Federal Migration Department services, tax inspection;
• voroshilov Street (formerly Grekovskaya, since 1957 - 40 Let Oktyabrya Street), the third most important street, is the main highway connecting two microdistricts of the city - the old one - Sotsgorod (the name was given in the 1930s on the wave of industrialization in the USSR, now this almost out of use) and a new one - to them. 60 years of October (popularly called simply Microdistrict). It houses shops, cafes, the central market, a communications center of Rostelecom and a branch of the Russian Post. The crossroads of Karl Marx Avenue and Voroshilov Street in the post-perestroika period received the everyday name Cross (earlier this area was called Sotsgorod - now this name has practically gone out of use).

Heroev-Pionerov Street (Lineinaya until 1973) is also of transport importance; it connects the Podskelny and Rygin microdistricts, as well as an overpass (locally called viaduct) on Karl Marx Avenue with the M-4 Don federal highway bypassing the central part of the city. The name was given in the year of the thirtieth anniversary of the liberation of the city from the Nazi invaders.

History

The city has been known since 1671 as a Cossack settlement, which originally arose near the Malaya Kamenka River (after which it got its name), then settled at the mouth of the Glubokaya River, and then for a long time located on the left bank of the Seversky Donets, on the site of modern Staraya Stanitsa (so called the Fourth Migration). In the spring flood, the settlement was flooded with a river, so in 1805 the villagers turned to the military government with a petition for resettlement to the right high bank of the Donets.

However, war soon broke out with Napoleonic France. The military ataman Matvey Ivanovich Platov took the Don regiments to the war. Many Kamyanets in those regiments also left. There was no time for resettlement. Only in 1817, having received the go-ahead from the authorities, the Kamensk Cossacks began to gradually move to the right bank of the Donets and build up between the Rygin and Kosonogovka farms that had existed since the end of the 18th century.

The original rectangular layout of the village of Kamenskaya (after relocation to the right bank of the Seversky Donets) was made by the architect Franz De Volan at the direction of the military chieftain M.I.Platov.

Stanitsa Kamenskaya was the center of the Donetsk region. The district included the entire northeast of the land of the Don Cossack, which included 7, and later (by 1917) - 15 villages.

In January 1918, a congress of representatives of the front-line Cossack regiments took place in the village, at which the Don Cossack Military Revolutionary Committee headed by F.G. Podtyolkov and M.V. Krivoshlykov was elected, which proclaimed Soviet power on the Don. Many Cossacks of the village of Kamenskaya were drawn into the whirlpool of the civil war on the side of both the Red and White armies.

Until 1920, the village of Kamenskaya was part of the Great Don Host.

In 1920-1924, the village was part of the Donetsk province of the Ukrainian SSR with subordination directly to the city of Lugansk. In November 1924, the North Caucasian Territory was created, which included the Shakhty District with the Kamensky District and its center - the village of Kamenskaya.

During the Great Patriotic War, Kamensk was occupied by German troops from July 18, 1942 to February 13, 1943.

Several young Kamianians took part in the "Young Guard" of Krasnodon: Shura Bondareva, Styopa Safonov, Vasily Gukov. The city's pioneers took part in the battles for the liberation of the city from the Nazi invaders.

On January 20, 1943, the advanced units of the Red Army broke through to the city. The schoolchildren happily greeted the liberators and told the Red Army soldiers about the positions of enemy soldiers, tanks and guns. However, the size of the grouping of Soviet troops was very small, the infantry offensive was supported by only a few light tanks, and the attackers could not enter the city and liberate it. After the attack was repulsed, the Nazis carried out a punitive action, seizing all the boys of a suitable age in a row, who, after interrogation with the use of torture, were shot in the basement of the building where gymnasium No. 12 is now located.

On the night of February 13, the 1116th Rifle Regiment under the command of Major A.M. Gursky started fighting in the city, and the 1120th Rifle Regiment (commanded by Major A.K. Peschishin) captured Kosonogovka.

During the Voroshilovgrad operation, the city was liberated from the Nazi German troops by the troops of the 5th Panzer Army, which included the 333rd Infantry Division (Colonel M.I.Matveev) of the Southwestern Front.

On November 2, 1967, on the central street of the city - Karl Marx Avenue, in the Pioneer Square, a monument-stele to the Hero-Pioneers was erected, on which the names of all the dead children were carved. At least three of the people on this list were actually alive in the 1970s. In 1996, the monument, which had become dilapidated by that time, was reconstructed. In their honor, in 1973, the former Linear Street was renamed into Heroes-Pioneers Street (to the 30th anniversary of the city's liberation).

After the liberation of Kamensk by Soviet troops, the soldiers who died during the liberation of the city were buried on Labor Square, where a memorial complex was opened on May 9, 1971. Also, a memorial complex was created in front of the main entrance to the Kamensk chemical plant, where monuments to the workers of the plant who died during the war were installed.

Kamensk region

In 1954, by decision of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, due to the unbundling of Rostov and the neighboring Voronezh and Stalingrad regions, the Kamensk region was formed with the center in the city of Shakhty. The Kamensk region included 9 cities and 11 workers' settlements, as well as 41 districts (32 in the Rostov region, 5 in the Voronezh region, 4 in the Stalingrad region). On May 29, 1957, the Kamensk economic administrative region was established on the territory of the Kamensk region. By the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR in November 1957, the Kamensk region was abolished.

Regional leaders:

• Enyutin, Georgy Vasilievich (1903-1969) - 1st Secretary of the Kamensk Regional Committee of the CPSU.
• Gritsenko, Alexander Vasilievich (1907-1978) - Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Kamensk Regional Council.
• Bratchenko, Boris Fedorovich (1912-2004) - Chairman of the Council of National Economy of the Kamensk Economic Administrative Region.
