All villages of the Tver region. Detailed map of the Tver region with villages

On the online map The Tver region has its borders with neighboring territories. In the North-East they pass with the Vologda region, in the east - with the Yaroslavl region. Novgorod and Pskov regions have borders with the Tver region in the west, Smolensk and Moscow - in the south.

Geographical position of the Tver region

You need to look for the Tver region on the map of Russia in the west of the country. It occupies part of the East European Plain. From south to north, the region stretched for 350 km. Its length from east to west is 450 km. There are 5 reservoirs on the territory of the region, which are of great importance for navigation.

The main river of the region is the Volga. Almost 2/3 of the territory of the region is its basin. Half of the land in the region is covered with forests. One of the most famous lakes in the country - Lake Seliger - is located in the region. There are practically no minerals in the region, but it has a profitable geographical position. The region is located between Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Transport communication of the Tver region, routes and roads

On the satellite map of the Tver region, its transport network is clearly visible. Federal highways pass through the region:

• M10 "Moscow - St. Petersburg";
• M9 "Baltic".

In addition to them, there are more than 1930 highways of republican and local significance in the region. Their total length is more than 16 thousand km. Public transport is well developed in the region. Cities and towns are connected by 134 intercity and 388 suburban routes.

The length of the railway track in the region is more than 1800 km. Shipping routes are laid along the Moscow Sea, Seliger, Volga and other rivers of the region.

Tver region with cities and villages

The region is divided into 5 districts, which are of urban importance. These include: Vyshny Volochek, Rzhev, as well as Kimry, Tver and Torzhok. Udomlya has regional significance, Ozerny and Solnechny - ZATO. There are 35 districts in the region. The largest cities:

• Tver - more than 420 thousand people;
• Rzhev - more than 59 thousand people;
• Vyshny Volochek - more than 47 thousand people.

Several natural zones have been created in the region for the development of tourism and recreation. They included:

• Lake Seliger and the upper Volga reservoirs connected with it into a single cluster.
• Karelian trail. The zone includes Likhoslavl, Rameshkovsky, Spirovsky and Maksatikhinsky districts.
• Moscow sea. Places for recreation in this cluster are concentrated in Bolshoi Zavidovo and Konakovo River Club.
• Vyshnevolotsk reservoir, called the "Russian Venice".
• Central Reserve "Pure Forest".

On the eve of Victory Day, the capital's campaign to collect food for Russian villages was hotly discussed on social networks. The very need for food donations in a country where tons of food is destroyed weekly due to anti-sanctions caused people to feel frustrated. Someone was perplexed: “How can the villages lack food? After all, the villages themselves must produce them!” Someone noticed that

"in normal countries, the village feeds the city, and not vice versa."

And someone just came to the garden, where the food collection point was located, with a package of food. Thanks to these people, in two days they managed to collect 5.5 tons of food, which were subsequently delivered to needy families in various districts of the Tver region. At the invitation of the Food Fund "Rus" - the organizer of the action "Products in the villages" - "Gazeta.Ru" managed to take part in the delivery of one of the last batches of food intended for residents of the Udomelsky district.

“There are 250 food banks in the United States, 320 in Canada, and only one in Russia, ours,” says Anna, director of communications at Rus, as we drive along Leningradskoye Highway. Her crossover is followed by a minibus loaded with groceries, driven by well-known volunteer Sergei Melnik, who has been helping orphanages, boarding schools and disadvantaged families for almost a decade. Our column also includes a film crew from one of the federal channels and representatives of a large fast food restaurant that participated in food donations for the villagers.

According to Anna, the fund has been operating since 2012 and is part of the global network of food banks (like Gazeta.Ru already, the founder is the owner of a construction business in Moscow; among the founders there is also an investor, a shareholder of the Czech PPF Group, Jean-Pascal Duvieusart).

The fund has been sending food to the Tver region for three years already. The lists of needy families and veterans are compiled by the department of social service and charity of the Tver diocese. In the city of Udomlya, near the Prince Vladimir Cathedral, Ksenia, the deputy head of the local department of social service, sits in our car with lists of those families and veterans who need to deliver food. On the way to the nearest village Ryad

we pass the formidable Kalinin nuclear power plant - the eerie effect of it is further enhanced by the fact that as we approach it, the weather deteriorates more and more,

The wind starts to blow and it starts to rain.

Kalinin NPP

“It’s probably scary to live here,” I suppose, to which Ksenia replies: “It’s okay, I worked as a security guard for her for ten years.” Ksenia moved to Udomlya 25 years ago from Tajikistan, following her parents, who were involved in the construction of a nuclear power plant. Recently, she has devoted herself entirely to social and church work.

“Our people have the idea that the village should feed the city, although this has not been the case for more than twenty years. Everything here is very deplorable. One farm for the whole region: milk, cottage cheese, butter, - says Ksenia just at the moment when a herd of cows blocks our way. Our trees are just dying out. We are located between Moscow and St. Petersburg, but our region is the most unfortunate. Anna objects: “When we go to the Smolensk region, they tell us there that their region is the most unfortunate.”

Why do people stay in the villages? They just can’t leave there, Ksenia is sure:

“Not every person can break loose and go somewhere. Our village does not bring up a person who would be proactive.

Yes, and the city too…” In Udomlya, according to her, it has also become worse with work lately: “There are big cuts. People are being fired from the nuclear power plant – optimization is underway.”

The last time Ksenia participated in the delivery of gifts to veterans on May 9th. Together with her, a priest from the local parish of the Russian Orthodox Church went to the pensioners: “When we delivered them, one 96-year-old pensioner lamented: “Father, it’s good that I saw you, I thought I wouldn’t live.” Everyone was crying, including me.

As we move away from the city and approach the villages, the road gets worse. The nuclear power plant is located only 5 km from the nearby villages, but the contrast is such that you are returning from the 21st century to the middle of the 20th century. Our first stop, the village of Ryad, greets us with rows of several two-story brick houses. (“The remnants of former luxury,” a fellow traveler comments on the architecture.)

Schoolchildren from the village of Ryad hurry home

A column of cars stops near a shabby building, made with a hint of constructivism. This is the club where the food distribution is to take place. While the volunteer Melnik pulls out the food bags, and the TV people and restaurateurs closely follow this process, I slip inside.

About 30 people sit in the main hall along the perimeter - most of them are single mothers with three or four children, including infants. All those present are dressed festively, as if they had come to a children's party, foreign pop music is playing loudly from the column from the stage. I feel out of place in my foppish red bomber jacket and catch sidelong glances from two guys - the only teenagers in the room.

The club where the distribution of food took place

The very process of distributing food is somewhat reminiscent of the "Field of Miracles", if the host did not receive food, but gave it to the participants.

Each family goes out one by one to Xenia, she marks them on the list and hands them a bag of food. In total, 11 sets were prepared for families from Ryad, each of them contains pasta, cereals, cereals, butter, tea, canned food, as well as sweets - waffles, marshmallows or chocolate.

“This is a good action that people need,” says the mother of three daughters, holding a package in one hand and her own child in the other. To the question of whether she has enough food in principle, she replies: “Thank God that everything is in order with our products, it’s just nice that someone takes care of mothers with many children.” However, the woman, like all mothers who received the cherished packages, is reluctant to talk and is noticeably in a hurry - she had to sit in the hall for several hours waiting for help from Moscow. The club is literally empty within half an hour.

The village of Koskovo, our next destination, according to Xenia, comes alive only in the summer, when summer residents from St. Petersburg and Moscow arrive. Unlike Ryad, there are no brick buildings here - only wooden huts, some of them very rickety, and some completely destroyed. At the entrance to the village, we are met by the head of the local veterans' organization, Sergei Fedorovich, a fit man of about 55, who volunteered to be our "guide".

He suggests that, first, go to the veteran Antonina Egorovna (“she is very sociable, she will tell you everything”). The pensioner has no one left, except for her one and only son, and he is always on a drinking binge.

In the village, he receives a salary of 1.5 thousand rubles, so he prefers hawthorn tincture from alcohol

(it costs only 20 rubles per bottle).

The living conditions of veterans before the war and now have not changed much: the same well in the yard, a toilet, a wood-burning stove. The house of Antonina Yegorovna is guarded by a dog: so that she does not attack the guests, a man drunk to the blue, apparently, the same son, lovingly hugs her.

The pensioner's house is heavily smoky and dark - for the whole hut there is only one Ilyich lamp in the central room, in the rest the light comes from the windows.

Interior of Antonina Egorovna's house

Antonina Yegorovna herself does not seem to fit into this atmosphere of despondency and devastation: the pensioner is active and smiling, it can be seen from her that she is sincerely glad for the arrival of guests and a package of food (it is still unknown what more).

Antonina Egorovna

Thanks for not forgetting! I will remember you now! the pensioner says. “We don’t need everyone here. Nothing comes to us from anywhere. The chairman of the collective farm did not even congratulate him on the Victory, but I worked there all my life! But thanks to Putin. Putin and Medvedev at least sent money for the Victory. The pension was increased by 80% because we are veterans.”

From conversations about the essential, the pensioner quickly moves on to memories of the Second World War. When the war began, Antonina Yegorovna was still a teenager. “I dug trenches, they sent the forest to be taken away.

From the age of 13 she was already in the trenches. They brought the agenda, so I went.

Everything had to be done by hand, there were no machines. And then 62 years in the land without days off and holidays, ”she recalls.

The pensioner does not complain about her current life, she talks about her son as if he does not drink at all, but, on the contrary, helps around the house, looks after her and even washes. When we leave the house and see this fallen man for the last time, Ksenia and Sergey Fedorovich pay attention to this discrepancy:

- What mother admits that her son is an alcoholic?

- Yes, none. They themselves do not admit it. They say to me: “Yes, you drink no less than we do!” Okay, another week, but I definitely can’t drink like them for months ( laughs).

Did he even try to quit?

- Yes, but his beloved does not give: once he did not drink for a month, but then because of her he broke again.

After this conversation, we drive up to another, slightly cleaner house nearby. A pensioner Nadezhda Semyonovna and her daughter Marina live there, who is raising her two sons alone. Marina has a serious oncological disease, so the fate of her children is a big question, says Ksenia.

During the war, Nadezhda Semyonovna was in the occupied territories, but she does not have any documents that can confirm this. This means that there is no corresponding pension.

Her daughter mostly speaks for her. Marina does not admit that Nadezhda Semyonovna has any problems with her documents. She claims that this is not true and that everything is in order: “A good pension, we have enough of everything. In addition, she receives an allowance as a mother of many children. 19 thousand per month is good. And so we have my salary plus my mother’s pension, and besides, we have our own farm.”

Nadezhda Semyonovna, her daughter Marina and one of her sons

The previous house in which they lived was in disrepair, they managed to move according to a social program. Marina, who works as a mathematics teacher at a local school, is sure that if it were not for the educational institution, the village would have died out long ago: “The village lives thanks to the school, although the number of children has declined.

Because of the school, there is a request for other services - for example, if it were not for childhood injuries, the trauma center would have closed a long time ago.

Marina speaks cautiously about her mother, probably so as not to cause her unnecessary anxiety: “She baked bread, cooked food at night, because they were under the Nazis. Mom says that they hid in the basement so that they would not be taken to the camps.” Nadezhda Semyonovna speaks at this: “We were taken to the barn, they showed us how Russians were burned. If they found out that they helped the partisans, they burned the whole village, ”says the pensioner, and tears well up in her eyes.

Having handed them two bags of groceries, we go to the nearest branch "" - there is another mother of many children who needs to deliver food. The post office building is no different from the rest, except for the blue logo at the entrance and the red sign that says "Universal Communication Services". The post office is the only place where you can access the internet in Koskovo. This can be considered a luxury, given that in some parts of the village there is not even the most ordinary mobile connection.

Local postal worker and volunteer Sergei Melnik

Not far from the post office is a local shop. Despite the fact that it is located in such a wilderness, the prices in it are at the level of the capital's department stores:

buckwheat for 82 rubles, a can of cola for 48 rubles, a pack of chips for 106 rubles. There you can also buy hygiene items and even “Triple Cologne”, the perfumes “Our Crimea” and “All the Way” with the image of the Kremlin tower against the background of the tricolor (they are the most expensive - 80 rubles).

According to the saleswoman, the store is open from 9 to 19 seven days a week. Most of all, the villagers buy bread, sausage, vodka and beer. In the best traditions of Perekrestok and The Seventh Continent, the store sells goods "on sale" - mainly canned food and other inexpensive products.

local shop

Having finished studying the assortment, we are heading to the next families awaiting help from Moscow. “When I was a deputy of the local spill, I made sure that the library was restored,” says Sergei Fedorovich, pointing to the building next to the monument to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War. My wife works as a librarian: “Now this is the only place where I can gather veterans. I'm taking them to agitate here."

Cultural center Koskovo - library

The last ones on our list, grandparents who live on a hill near a picturesque river, begin to shower us with thanks as soon as we cross the threshold of the house. The warmest words are addressed to the head of the veterans' organization: “Sergei Fedorovich took us to a rally, and then to the library, and there the whole hall was covered: vodka, wine, and even grapes. Grapes cost 250 rubles here, and he bought them, ”says Maria Fedorovna. Her husband tries to add something to his wife's words, but does it with difficulty - half of his face is bandaged due to nose cancer. Sergei Fyodorovich could not stand it and went out to smoke in the yard, however, then he hurriedly returned.

According to the pensioner, together with her husband they lived for 40 years in Riga, gave birth to a daughter there, but then returned to Russia. The daughter is now working in Udomlya, while they remain in Koskovo. They live extremely poorly (in their house it is even darker and dirtier than Antonina Yegorovna's), but they do not complain to us about this, but they describe in colors how a gypsy once crawled into their house. “We had 500 rubles in our wallet, and he stole 300,” complains Maria Fedorovna. Continuing to thank us, she barely holds back her tears and keeps asking us to sit down and drink tea, we have to politely refuse: the sun is already starting to set over the horizon, and we need to hurry.

We had a few more villages ahead of us, but in the end it was decided to leave the food in a warehouse in Udomlya to be delivered by local activists. While we were unloading heavy boxes and bags of food and dragging them to the warehouse, I remembered Anna's words that girls mostly work at the Rus Food Fund. How they coped with such a heavy load, I still do not understand.

In conversation with me

Volunteer Sergei offered to send excursions to the villages with children so that they could see the conditions in which veterans and mothers with many children from the outback are forced to live

("After this, they begin to behave like silk"). This idea seems excessive to me, but I would be happy to invite the acting director to Ryad and Koskovo. governor of the Tver region - he previously served as director of the department of the agro-industrial complex, so it will probably be interesting for him to see how the agro-industrial complex "develops" in his own region.

It would also be interesting to look at the Tver villagers, who received food donations from Muscovites, by local and customs officials who destroyed more 120 tons counterfeit pears, apples and lettuce, half a ton sanctioned pork and ham, as well as 1.6 tons products that they wanted to feed the athletes and spectators of the Moscow stage of the German DTM racing.

Finally, it would not hurt to send snow-white trucks with humanitarian aid to the Tver region, which regularly traveled to Donbass to help local residents who were embroiled in the war. For some Tverichans, such help would be no less useful, especially since many of them have long since experienced a much more terrible war. But their lives have not improved much since then.

The settlement was abandoned presumably in the 2000s. Eight buildings, of varying degrees of preservation, and household items have been preserved. An old road made of concrete slabs leads to the village, which belongs to an abandoned SS-17 missile site located near the village. The positions are badly destroyed, traces of heavy equipment are visible. A buried tank with toxic rocket fuel has been preserved, surrounded by a fence and locked. Beautiful nature and...

It borders on another abandoned village. It is a depressing sight - several rickety and gray houses. Which drowned the last time about ten years ago. In some houses, even personal items have been preserved. It can be seen that they have never been wealthy villages. And abandoned by the last old women who lived here.

Distinguishing the border between the two villages (where one ends and the other begins) is impossible, due to the lack of residential buildings and signs of the names of the villages. Preserved only on maps. Except for one - which does not fit into the overall picture of neglect of the place - a brand new house, built of timber, with a large well-groomed territory. Around dozens of half-rotten and collapsed houses. Some have preserved utensils and furniture. In connection with...

The name of this village is so beautiful. Perhaps it once corresponded to it, but now it is completely abandoned. We could not even drive up to it, we walked a little, but already in the village itself we realized that you can only move here in late autumn or early spring, when the grass will not knit your legs. The houses are so dilapidated that it is scary to even enter them. We got to this village on a "tip" going along a deaf road, among ...
