Tomatoes and bell peppers appeared, the fruits of the migration of peoples, which the bulgarian colonists gave in novorossiya a conversation with an expert of the program competitor of odessa and taganrog how the seaport was built in mariupol we continue to talk about those peoples who settled in novorossia more than 200 years ago and whose descendants still inhabit this territory today , the bulgarians. Their largescale migration to the russian empire began during the russianturkish wars in the reign of catherine the great, so the turkish oppression bulgarian settlers fled to southern bessarabia , the current odessa region and transnistria , the then governorgeneral of the region, the duke would decided to call them incomparable for their ability to work in the difficult steppe climate, and the bolgars , who at the beginning of the 19th century became the governor of bessarabia, played the helm in the fate of the bulgarians. He achieved for them the same benefits as for the german settlers favored by the empress catherine founded for refugees, the city of volgograd today is a District Center in the odessa region. Upon learning of the death of the general in 1845, the elders of all bulgarian colonies filed a petition at their own expense to transfer the rights of the deceased from odessa to bolgrad. Cemetery special tomb all the way from odessa to bolgrad. For about 200 km the coffin with the body of the inva bolgars was carried on their shoulders by the lapel of the cemetery fence. Until the very tomb, a sign of special respect, the bearers moved on their knees. The second wave of resettlement of the bulgarians began after the crimean war of 185356, losing it, russia lost that part of bessarabia where the bulgarians lived, it was annexed to the moldavian principality, then the colonists decided to move to new lands. In novorossiya. At that time, there was a colonization of the azov steppes of the tauride province of the current kherson and zaporozhye regions on the gays, who roamed here , along with part of the crimean tatars, went to turkey. Bulgarians were successful farmers and gardeners. They were able to take their place and turn the lifeless steppes. In the granary for resettlement , the bulgarian refugees received from russia 214,000 land money courts. For the establishment of a farm , bread at the rate of each Family Member until the new harvest, and also benefits for 8 years on a fee. The bulgarians quickly got used to the southern steppes, having become acquainted with the rational economy of the german colonists, following their example, they became to sow several varieties of wheat and rye at once, which was a rarity in novorossia, planted orchards and vineyards, but the main profit was brought to the garden by the hot sun. Tavria bulgarians began to grow not only watermelons and holes, but also for the first time plant cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants, cabbage and, of course, sweet peppers, which they immediately called bulgarian about the mark the bulgarians left in the history of novorossia in the plot of anna efimova the village of stepanovka near melitopol historically the vast majority of the population here are ethnic bulgarians with many houses over a hundred years have come. Olga gazova heads the local Bulgarian Community and, as usual, came to visit her large family. The reception is always a warm, rich, laid table, vegetables, cheeses, and the traditional bulgarian holiday pie milina was prepared especially for the arrival. There are a lot of relatives here, my mother is from this village of stepanovka, my father is from bogdan , that is, i have relatives there, here i have relatives. It can be said that all bulgarians know each other, olga and her large family, grandmothers , aunts, cousins, immigrants from bessarabia, their ancestors settled on these lands in the second half of the 19th century. After the results of the russianturkish war , bessarabi was under the rule of the puppet moldavian principality, and in fact the ottoman empire, then many bulgarians decided to move here to the azov. Steppes under the protection of the crown of the russian empire. Here the soil was very fertile , thousands of hectares of unclaimed land and there was water. All in all. Well, all that is needed for us industrious people is the cultivation of grapes , livestock breeding and, of course, gardening in the summer in the air of this village, like hundreds of other bulgarian settlements hovers saturated. These flowers are a symbol and, one might even say, a brand of the modern state of bulgaria here in novorossia to roses, a special attitude, as well as to needlework, which from time immemorial distinguished the bulgarian craftsmens diaper. For me, this diaper is 65 years old. In this house. Valentina sivova, was born and raised a lot of utensils and home textiles, the finest handmade work made by the hands of her grandmothers and aunts, maybe thats why she is so attached to her family nest to leave, which was not forced by confusion and vacillation 2014, no ongoing fighting. Im home. These are my children, if they knew, what a good village we had, a collective farm, rich, there were young people on a farm, there was beauty now, in connection with this situation, everything is collapsing. My heart hurts when, after the coup detat in kiev, it was decided that the results of the maidan should be accepted by all other regions of ukraine, as well as all their numerous peoples , many diasporas began to observe the situation from the outside, the bulgarian one is no exception, but calls for peace, mass actions against the military escalation to the donbass went unnoticed by neither the bulgarian authorities nor the bulgarian snakes , there was no serious discussion at a low level. After turning off the war in russia, at the beginning, the historical support of ukraine and the historical games of average rhetoric against russia began, and it was the bulgarians who once moved to the russian empire who later became the Founding Fathers of modern bulgaria, not paradoxically, but the roots of the modern political elite. This country can and should be looked for in novorossiya, todays bulgaria, uh, remembers and honors. Yes the fact that the majority of the elite that created this state. These were mainly representatives of the russian empire. Yes, graduated from universities. There , Novorossiysk University and bolgrad gymnasium, for example, the first rector of sofia university, a native of arab bulgarians , Alexander Fedorov balala, or there the first minister of defense, the creator of the drill charter, which is now still in effect. Yes, so to speak, despite joining nato so to say, bulgaria, uh, dmitry gur, yes, general, uh, a native of a small village the upheaval of the Twentieth Century had a heavy impact on the bulgarians, without the arab province was under the rule of the romanian occupiers. Persecution began. Relations between romania and bulgaria have always been tense, but the situation was aggravated even more by the historically prorussian sentiments of the bessarabian, bulgarians. If you remember the story after the seventeenth year. Eh, bisarabiat went to the moldavian park as a principality and had 22 years of occupation. Up until the age of thirtynine. Until here moldova went to the soviet union all these years for not only bulgarian emotionality was severe repression. The tortures were bullying, and therefore, when bessarabia crossed the soviet union, everything changed. They. In general, they were loyal, which means they made a career for the soviet system and quietly have a family. But in the azov bolgs it became quite difficult for the reason that right next to them is the uplift of the city in the donbass and kryvbas. A lot of people worked there. They are there in a shirt, here they are in the composition of this donbass society after centuries of oblivion ottoman food and struggle for others of their own, namely russia helped to restore bulgarias statehood in the Nineteenth Century and until 1991 and the collapse of the already new soviet empire. The bulgarians found themselves divided by the notorious administrative borders. Most of them, unexpectedly for themselves, became residents of the odessa region of ukraine , about a third of the inhabitants of moldova. Secluded , isolated, in spite of everything. They continued to maintain contact with their culture. I want to say first of all. I want peace, so that it be peace, so that everything is everything were alive and healthy, and for our village and children , my grandchildren, i want one of the grandchildren to stay and live in this house. Here is my future. I want to see all this, and with such an unshakable faith, peace will definitely come to this land. Anna efimova Valery SavelyevAnastasia Popova is a typical novorossia. About what mark the bulgarian settlers left in the history of novorossia, we will talk with our permanent expert , historian and political scientist alexander vasiliev. Sasha good afternoon. Good afternoon sasha bulgarian colonists arrive in the 19th century on the territory of novorossia. How did the pioneers feel, or for many of them it was a kind of return to the origins, because, it is believed that one of the possible ones about the homeland of the bulgarian ethnos. This is just the northern black sea coast in the second half of the 19th century in bulgaria itself. And there was a very serious discussion on the topic of the origin itself, but of the bulgarian people, because they are not an easy story. A and. A. Here is another year 912 in the south of the poltava province. This is, in general, how if little russia had been done like this, the outstanding archaeological find of the socalled, but the enumerated treasure. Eh, there is a village, and a small pinch, and thats where the richest was found with a huge amount of gold jewelry. Already a horse bridle, there and so on and so forth. But this is what archaeologists call the treasures of khan kubrat according to certain signs, so to speak, there, uh, yes, they identified it as things that belonged to the khan of great bulgaria, known from written sources, which, respectively, uh, on these steppe territories, really located these e, in the hermitage are now a and is one of the brightest such pearls of Archaeological Collections of medieval objects. And thats why indeed, this is the discussion she, well , she got such a material, lets say. So the incarnation is very popular this theme. E in bulgarian historiography. Yes, these eastern roots are now retrospective. We can say that when the danube began to come, and in the 18th century in the nineteenth, and the bulgarian settlers. This is some kind an element of returning to a certain afghan territory about the motherland. The table is yes, you can say so, with what mood did the bulgarians travel in the 19th century to nu the desert lands of novorossiya, what did they give in general, uh, in this sense, like uh, colonists, like people who mastered these degrees, and that russia gave the bulgarians, the colonists, received excellent conditions for government subsidies of various assistance. Uh, they could possibly have an incredible career. We know russian right up to the generals hmm of bulgarian origin a huge role in the future National Revival of bulgaria because , for example, yes, the Imperial Russian university was based in odessa, then the idea was already laid in it that it would somehow become, as they said , a school not only for all of new russia, but also for orthodox bulgarians and various Educational Institutions and in nikolaev there was a special Educational Institution in which the majority of students were, and the bulgarians and ie in odessa were social guardianship committees various Public Institutions for to the aid society, e, the south slavs, that is, e, it was the concentration, as it were, of a Human Resource of a human financial resource, which , as it were, helped the bulgarians to braid independence and develop a national culture, which, of course, cannot be overestimated, was generally assimilated by this diaspora. She somehow dispersed throughout belarus or was, like the greeks and bulgarians lived compactly. Yes, but many observers are generally the first such hmm attempt to somehow comprehend these bulgarian colonies. This undertook history to the odessa history, like poskalkovskiy, who called herodotus, novorossiysk territory. Here he wrote about such isolation of isolation, and bulgarian settlers, and indeed, until recently , even bulgarian researchers, and learned philologists, came. Here in these bulgarian solos. Yes, here is bessarabia in the first place. In the zaporozhye region, and because some very conservative features and cultural linguistic features were preserved there, which were already lost on the territory of the cinnamon mainland. Yes, thats why, of course, such a closed , peculiar, she was present, but this is not interfered. I repeat to those who wanted to make a career. I wanted to integrate into russian society. Uh, thus, but to develop, that is, here, uh, the process in this sense, but was such a dual, as was the fate of the bulgarian, ukrainian diaspora in times. And now what . Uh, uh, the bulgarian diaspora in novorossia, of course, has big problems, but ukrainization caused it. Yes, that is , the bulgarian population treated her extremely negatively, you can say so. Yeah, guaranteed to say. But what about the transition to lets say even the russian population is easier passed the transition. There are some documents in circulation for some such official moments that the state demanded long before the 14th and before the fourth year. But uh , in the bulgarian environment, i directly met a very serious one, of course, but the confrontation and i must also say one such feature that the Bulgarian Government worked very actively. With this diaspora and, for example, bessarabia, i will say this much in a very large number. Uh, representatives of these bulgarian enclaves. Yes, they had passports. Uh, they got bulgarian passports dates, respectively. This is the schengen area. These are everes union passports. This allowed them to work there and leave. And very many left before all the events. Yes, and even a, the president of bulgaria, and when one of the zelensky came to him to ask for weapons. Yes, there with him. If you remember between them, this one got very tough, so sharp. Blood and this happened literally. Well, a month then he did such a thing, even focused on the fact that she would end the war for him, so to speak, move on to the Peace Process and, uh, in his speech sounded. Here is a note that they fall from the mobilization, and there the bulgarians die, our compatriots sites. Yes, as he put it, and naturally. This caused a very uh such a negative reaction from zelensky and uh, its kind of necessary to understand that this is not just some kind of verbal skirmish. The fact is that in ukraine an administrative reform around the opinion of the region was justified and the bulgarians really wanted everyone in bessarabia to have these villages hunted, but an administrative unit, as it used to be the western part of odessa and danube. A and. Uh, as it used to be, so to speak, under the russian empire, since it was a separate administrative unit, very tough resistance. Kiev kiev, on the contrary, tried again. To say the borders of this enclave is the capital, which is the city of bolgrad. Yes, cut it literally there into 23 parts, stretch it, so that in no case will there be any e consolidation. That is, it is clear. Simulation, for sure. Eh, feeling. Thats the nationalist regime in kiev is not the loyalty of this population. Yes here and well of course, uh, despite some protests even there official, which means the government of the bulgarian, nevertheless, negative processes, they continue today. Thanks sasha it was very interesting. Having received full control over the sea of azov at the end of the 18th century, russia actively developed here , not only fishing was rich in local waters , but also Merchant Shipping , the main commodity in the 19th century was grain; grain was carried by wagons, loaded shafts. The mariupol port was located on the kalnus river, which flowed into the sea of azov, the river was shallow and it was entered here, only with a small draft and a carrying capacity of up to 30 tons, such a ship could hold from 20 to 30 vases, not so much in terms of the number of ships that entered and cargo turnover. Mariupol was seriously inferior to taganrog, berdyansk and kerch. In 1882 , the construction of the railway to mariupol was completed , except for grain. Donbass coal began to be transported, the rapid industrialization of novorossia needed in a new deep water harbor. Its construction began in 1886 and was completed in 3 years on the day of the grand opening of the new berth, the first 18 wagons with coal were shipped, and after 10 years on azov, few could compare with the port of mariupol in terms of technical equipment and volume of cargo transshipment skadovsk harbor genichesk berdyansk taganrog and novorossiysk were clearly losing this competition. In 2022, mariupol added to the register of russian seaports. Work has already been carried out to survey the territory. The mine danger has been removed. Restoration work is underway in the harbour, 22 berths of which 14 are in working condition, the water area has a great depth of 8 m, according to the minister of transport of the Russian Federation vitaly savelyev, the port is quite serious with potential and will be completely restored at yesterdays and todays day of the mariupol port in the story of olga mokhova dast the god of time and strength will take up the construction of a seaport in mariupol and, together with a cool railway, along with the updated azov fleet. He might be jealous to the rest of the world. The light hand of the russian industrialist Savva Mamontov and according to him a new one appeared, and the former center of plague, mariupol became the largest port city of the sea of \u200b\u200bazov, so that rigging and large motor ships and sea vessels could come here, it was necessary to dig a fairway. And this grandiose construction, this gigantic forwarder at the bottom of the sea of azov , was a breakthrough in a new, deeper one. The port could already enter here with a draft of more than 4 m. Modern mooring walls were built here. And even coal dumpers, which made it possible to immediately reload in three, the ship that arrived by rail into wagons with coal from donbass. The port should not be the port city of mariupol, but a port for the entire south of russia for the coalindustrial and grain regions. Ports proximity to it of donetsk coal and kerch iron ore greatly simplified the logistics. Both domestic industrialists and foreign belgians are building a metallurgical plant here. Russian province, americans another metallurgical pipe welding shop and nikopol mariupol the cities of the northern black sea region, and especially odessa, get the opportunity for cheaper heating. First task. It was necessary to win the competition with english coal on the domestic market and thanks to the port of mariupol. This fight was successful for donetsk. The mining port became the third in the russian empire, and in terms of cargo turnover by the end of the 19th century. Almost caught up with the odessa october coup and the civil war plunged it into ruin for 6 years, but by the beginning of the great patriotic war by 1941, the purt in terms of volume transshipment of goods greatly exceeded the scale until the revolutionary period was successfully existing one. This is the socialist industrialization. This is the construction of the azovstal plant, which was also built on the shores of the sea of \u200b\u200bazov, and in parallel, i note that it was the only metallurgical plant in the ussr that had its own seaport in its structure, the port of the plant azovstan, could receive and load here yearround, thanks to its own icebreaker Kapitan Belousov the only one on the sea of azov in the soviet years. Here employed up to 4,000 people. The life of the city and the harbor were closely intertwined at the local heavy engineering plant. The current one. Azov masha launched the production of portal cranes. It is the only one in the sea of azov that has a ship repair of oil debris sorters and various floating structures on its territory. It was for a very long time with a carrying capacity of 15,000 tons. He is able to repair here a large displacement. Almost one and a half hundred ships that sailed to 52 countries of the world were assigned to the mariupol port, the collapse of the soviet union led to catastrophic losses by 2008, only 33 ships remained in independent ukraine, and after some time the Azov Shipping Company actually began to exist only on paper , ships from other countries were now transshipping cargo, leaving the city without additional income, taking into account the specifics of the azov ee of the mariupol port and well, in general, the basin of the sea of \u200b\u200bazov. E hmm won, because the capacity of the domestic market of ukraine for metal shrank a lot at the peak. Uh, the ports turnover was approaching fifteen million metal steel cast iron from e, medical plants of donbass and in. The first turn of mariupol the second is coal. Uh, the third uh in terms of cargo. This is white refractory clay. The fourth from the viburnum belt is food, after the events of 2014 , the ports cargo turnover drops to 5 million tons, and in 2017, after ukraine imposed a blockade of certain areas of the donbass, coal metals from the dpr and lpr. Mariupol is no longer supplied to the mariupol port lives in anticipation of the citys Metallurgical Industry operating at full capacity, when delivery by rail of goods from the donetsk and luhansk republics will resume for now. This is impossible because of the shelling of certain sections , according to experts , it will take up to half a billion rubles to restore the shipyard, but taking into account the European Shipyards closed to russia , it will certainly be restored by olga mokhova Anastasia PopovaValery Savelyev is a typical novorossia. Thats all we wanted to talk about. Kirill vyshinsky was with you today. See you soon. Were on our way to combat positions now. Close enough to front lines. Make a decision, you have to talk to the battalion commander. From the Company Commander they can tell those nuances that you cant take now we are. So they failed, yes, they stopped, then they destroyed it with a machine gun, the situation was repulsed by the assault group, the enemy suffered losses well done well, how are you . What are you doing working i will tell you. Hello, lets just say. Goodbye. Better to work before we meet. The british and french wanted to do everything they could to prevent war. My grandfather always considered an alliance with russia as a basic condition more than 20,000 people a day biblo during the great patriotic war we are in a very dangerous moment in Human History what is happening now in ukraine is the lessons of goebbels, textbook 2018, edition of june 22 marked as the beginning of the germansoviet war. Well , ukraine has nothing to do with the lessons of the past. Otherwise we will repeat it speculators from history decide on the basis. Well take care of this. It will be the honest detective
