Arkhangelsk

Arkhangelsk (UK: /ˌɑːrkæŋˈɡɛlsk, ɑːrˈkæŋɡɛlsk/, US: /ɑːrˈkɑːnɡɛlsk/;[15] Russian: Арха́нгельск, IPA: [ɐrˈxanɡʲɪlʲsk]), also known in English as Archangel and Archangelsk, is a city and the administrative center of Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia. It lies on both banks of the Northern Dvina near its mouth into the White Sea. The city spreads for over 40 kilometres (25 mi) along the banks of the river and numerous islands of its delta. Arkhangelsk was the chief seaport of medieval and early modern Russia until 1703, when it was replaced by the newly-founded Saint Petersburg.

A 1,133-kilometer-long (704 mi) railway runs from Arkhangelsk to Moscow via Vologda and Yaroslavl, and air travel is served by the Talagi Airport and the smaller Vaskovo Airport. As of the 2021 Census, the city's population was 301,199.[16]

Coat of arms

The arms of the city display the Archangel Michael in the act of defeating the Devil. Legend states that this victory took place near where the city stands, hence its name, and that Michael still stands watch over the city to prevent the Devil's return.[17]

History

Early history

Vikings knew the area around Arkhangelsk as Bjarmaland.[18] Ohthere of Hålogaland told circa 890 of his travels in an area by a river and the White Sea with many buildings. This was probably the place later known as Arkhangelsk. According to Snorri Sturluson, Vikings led by Thorir Hund raided this area in 1027.[citation needed]

In 1989, an unusually impressive silver treasure was found by local farm workers by the mouth of Dvina, right next to present-day Arkhangelsk.[19] It was probably buried in the beginning of the 12th century, and contained articles that may have been up to two hundred years old at that time.[citation needed]

Most of the findings comprised a total of 1.6 kilograms (3.5 lb) of silver, largely in the form of coins. Jewelry and pieces of jewelry come from Russia or neighboring areas. The majority of the coins were German, but the hoard also included a smaller number of Kufan, English, Bohemian, Hungarian, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian coins.[citation needed]

It is hard to place this find historically until further research is completed. There are at least two possible interpretations. It may be a treasure belonging to the society outlined by the Norse source material. Generally such finds, whether from Scandinavia, the Baltic area, or Russia, are closely tied to well-established agricultural societies with considerable trade activity.[citation needed]

Alternatively, like the Russian scientists who published the find in 1992,[19] one may see it as evidence of a stronger case of Russian colonization than previously thought.

Novgorodians arrive

In the 12th century, the Novgorodians established the Archangel Michael Monastery in the estuary of the Northern Dvina.[citation needed]

The main trade center of the area at that time was Kholmogory, located 75 kilometers (47 mi) southeast of Arkhangelsk, up the Dvina River, about 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) downstream from where the Pinega River flows into the Dvina. Written sources indicate that Kholmogory existed early in the 12th century, but there is no archeological material of this period. It is not known whether the origin of this settlement was Russian, or if it goes back to pre-Russian times. In the center of the small town (or Gorodok) that is there today is a large mound of building remains and river sand, but it has not been archeologically excavated.[citation needed]

Norwegian-Russian conflict

 
Location of Arkhangelsk in northwestern Russia

The area of Arkhangelsk came to be important in the rivalry between Norwegian and Russian interests in the northern areas. From Novgorod, the spectrum of Russian interest was extended far north to the Kola Peninsula in the 12th century. However, here Norway enforced taxes and rights to the fur trade. A compromise agreement entered in 1251 was soon broken.[clarification needed][citation needed]

In 1411, Yakov Stepanovich from Novgorod went to attack Northern Norway. This was the beginning of a series of clashes. In 1419, Norwegian ships with five hundred soldiers entered the White Sea. The "Murmaners", as the Norwegians were called (cf. Murmansk), plundered many Russian settlements along the coast, among them the Archangel Michael Monastery.[20]

Novgorod managed to drive the Norwegians back. However, in 1478 the area was taken over by Ivan III and passed to the Grand Duchy of Moscow with the rest of the Novgorod Republic.

Trade with England, Scotland, and the Netherlands

Three English ships the Bona Esperanza, Edward Bonaventure, and Bona Confidentia set out to find the Northeast passage to China in 1553; two disappeared, and one, the Edward Bonaventure ended up in the White Sea at Nyonoksa, eventually coming across the area of Arkhangelsk at the mouth of the Dvina River where the St. Nicolas Monastery stood. Subsequently, the English gave the name St. Nicolas Bay to the sea now known as the White Sea. Ivan the Terrible found out about this, and brokered a trade agreement with the ship's captain, Richard Chancellor. Trade privileges were granted to English merchants in 1555, leading to the founding of the Company of Merchant Adventurers, which began sending ships annually into the estuary of the Northern Dvina. Dutch merchants also started bringing their ships into the White Sea from the 1560s.[21]Scottish and English merchants also traded in the 16th century; however, by the 17th century it was mainly the Dutch that sailed to the White Sea area.[citation needed]

Founding and further development

 
Plan of New Dvina Fort in Arkhangelsk

In 1584 Ivan ordered the founding of New Kholmogory (which would later be renamed after the nearby Archangel Michael Monastery). At the time access to the Baltic Sea was still mostly controlled by Sweden, so while Arkhangelsk was icebound in winter, it remained Moscow's almost sole link to the sea-trade. Local inhabitants, called Pomors, were the first to explore trade routes to Northern Siberia as far as the trans-Urals city of Mangazeya and beyond. In December 1613, during the Time of Troubles, Arkhangelsk was besieged by Polish-Lithuanian marauders commanded by Stanislaw Jasinski (Lisowczycy), who failed to capture the fortified town. In 1619, and again in 1637, fires broke out, and the entire city burned down.[citation needed]

In 1693, Peter the Great ordered the creation of a state shipyard in Arkhangelsk. A year later the ships Svyatoye Prorochestvo (Holy Prophecy), Apostol Pavel (Apostle Paul), and the yacht Svyatoy Pyotr (Saint Peter) were sailing in the White Sea. However, he also realized that Arkhangelsk would always be limited as a port due to the five months of ice cover, and after a successful campaign against Swedish armies in the Baltic area, he founded St. Petersburg in May 1703. Nonetheless, Arkhangelsk continued to be an important naval base and maritime centre in the Russian north.[22]

In 1722, Peter the Great decreed that Arkhangelsk should no longer accept goods that amounted to more than was sufficient for the town (for so-called domestic consumption). It was due to the Tsar's will to shift all international marine trade to St. Petersburg. This factor greatly contributed to the deterioration of Arkhangelsk that continued up to 1762 when this decree was cancelled.[citation needed]

Arkhangelsk declined in the 18th century as the Baltic trade became ever more important. Its economy revived at the end of the 19th century when a railway to Moscow was completed and timber became a major export. The city resisted Bolshevik rule from 1918 to 1920 and was a stronghold of the anti-Bolshevik White Army. The White Army was supported by an Allied intervention in which British, French, Italian, and American troops helped to defend against the Bolsheviks. The Allied forces, led by British Lieutenant General Frederick Poole, suffered numerous set-backs and eventually withdrew from Russia. Without Allied support, the poorly disciplined White Army quickly collapsed and the Bolsheviks entered Arkhangelsk on February 21, 1920.[23] Arkhangelsk was also the scene of Mudyug concentration camp.

During both world wars, Arkhangelsk was a major port of entry for Allied aid. During World War II, the city became known in West Europe as one of the two main destinations (along with Murmansk) of the Arctic Convoys bringing supplies in to assist the Soviet Union. During Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, Arkhangelsk was one of two cities (the other being Astrakhan) selected to mark the envisioned eastern limit of German control. This military operation was to be halted at this A-A line, but never reached it, as the German armies failed to capture either of these two cities and also failed to capture Moscow.

Arkhangelsk was also the site of Arkhangelsk ITL, or the Arkhangelsk Labour Camp, in the 1930s and 1940s.

Today, Arkhangelsk remains a major seaport, now open year-round due to improvements in icebreakers. The city is primarily a center for the timber and fishing industries.

On March 16, 2004, 58 people were killed in an explosion at an apartment block in the city.

Administrative and municipal status

Arkhangelsk is the administrative center of the oblast[7] and, within the framework of administrative divisions, it also serves as the administrative center of Primorsky District, even though it is not a part of it.[13] As an administrative division, it is, together with five rural localities, incorporated separately as the city of oblast significance of Arkhangelsk—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[7] As a municipal division, the city of oblast significance of Arkhangelsk is incorporated as Arkhangelsk Urban Okrug.[8]

The mayor (as of July 2017) is Igor Viktorovich Godzish, who was elected in 2015.[24]

City divisions

For administrative purposes, the city is divided into nine territorial okrugs:[25]

  • Isakogorsky
  • Lomonosovsky
  • Maymaksansky
  • Mayskaya Gorka
  • Oktyabrsky
  • Severny
  • Solombalsky
  • Tsiglomensky
  • Varavino-Faktoriya

Economy and infrastructure

Transportation

Arkhangelsk is the final destination of Northern Railway. In addition, the city is host to two airports, Vaskovo Airport and Talagi Airport where they host the 2nd Arkhangelsk United Aviation Division and Smartavia Airline,[26] respectively. M8 highway provides a direct link to Moscow, Yaroslavl and Severodvinsk, the administrative center of the oblast. Local public transit is provided by buses and minibuses called marshrutkas. Until 2004 there were also streetcars (trams), and until 2008, trolleybuses.

Education

Arkhangelsk was home to Pomorsky State University and Arkhangelsk State Technical University which merged with several other institutions of higher learning in 2010 to form the Northern (Arctic) Federal University.

Arkhangelsk is also home to the Northern State Medical University, Makarov state Maritime Academy, and a branch of the All-Russian Distance Institute of Finance and Economics.

Culture

Mikhail Lomonosov came from a Pomor village near Kholmogory.[28] A monument to him was installed to a design by Ivan Martos in 1829.[citation needed] A monument to Peter the Great was designed by Mark Antokolsky in 1872 and installed in 1914.[29]

After its historic churches were destroyed during Joseph Stalin's rule, the city's main extant landmarks are the fort-like Merchant Yards (1668–1684) and the (1701–1705). The Assumption Church on the Dvina embankment (1742–1744) was rebuilt in 2004.

In 2008, it was decided that the city's cathedral, dedicated to the Archangel Michael, which had been destroyed under the Soviets, would be rebuilt. The foundation stone was laid in November 2008 by the regional Bishop Tikhon.[30] The cathedral, situated near the city's main bus station and river port, is expected to be completed and consecrated in 2019.[31]

Another remarkable structure is the Arkhangelsk TV Mast, a 151-meter (495 ft) tall guyed mast for FM-/TV-broadcasting built in 1964. This tubular steel mast has six crossbars equipped with gangways, which run in two levels from the central mast structure out to the each of the three guys. On these crossbars there are also several antennas installed ().

An unusual example of local "vernacular architecture" was the so-called Sutyagin house. This thirteen-story, 44-metre (144 ft) tall[32][33] residence of the local entrepreneur Nikolay Petrovich Sutyagin was reported to be the world's, or at least Russia's, tallest wooden house. Constructed by Sutyagin and his family over fifteen years (starting in 1992), without plans or a building permit, the structure deteriorated while Sutyagin spent a few years in prison on racketeering charges. In 2008, it was condemned by the city as a fire hazard, and the courts ordered it to be demolished by 1 February 2009.[32][34] On December 26, 2008, the tower was pulled down,[35][36] and the remainder of the building was dismantled manually by early February 2009.[37][38]

The cultural life of Arkhangelsk includes:

  • The Arkhangelsk Lomonosov Drama Theater
  • Arkhangelsk Philarmonia
  • Arkhangelsk Youth Theater
  • Arkhangelsk Oblast Museum
  • Arkhangelsk Art Museum
  • Stepan Pisakhov Museum

An airstrip in Arkhangelsk was the fictional setting for a level in the 1997 hit videogame Goldeneye 007.[39]

Literature

The Russian North, and, in particular, the area of Arkhangelsk, is notable for its folklore. Until the mid-20th century, fairy tales and bylinas were still performed on the daily basis by performers who became professionals. Starting from the 1890s, folkloric expeditions have been organized to the White Sea area and later to other areas of the Arkhangelsk Governorate in order to write down the tales and the bylinas, especially in Pomor dialects.[citation needed]

In the 1920s, mostly due to the efforts of Anna Astakhova, these expeditions became systematic. By the 1960s, the performing art was basically extinct. These folkloric motives and fairy tales inspired the literary works of Stepan Pisakhov and Boris Shergin, who were both natives of Arkhangelsk.[citation needed]

Geography

Climate

Arkhangelsk experiences a subarctic climate (Köppen climate classification Dfc), with long (November–March), very cold winters and short (June–August), mildly warm summers. More extreme climates at this high latitude- such as Fairbanks, Alaska or Oymyakon, Sakha Republic- have much colder winters than Arkhangelsk, indicating that there is still significant moderation from the Atlantic Ocean.

Snowfall during winter is heavy, while summers are very rainy. Precipitation is very reliable year round.

linksCoat of arms EditThe arms of the city display the Archangel Michael in the act of defeating the Devil Legend states that this victory took place near where the city stands hence its name and that Michael still stands watch over the city to prevent the Devil s return 17 History EditEarly history Edit Vikings knew the area around Arkhangelsk as Bjarmaland 18 Ohthere of Halogaland told circa 890 of his travels in an area by a river and the White Sea with many buildings This was probably the place later known as Arkhangelsk According to Snorri Sturluson Vikings led by Thorir Hund raided this area in 1027 citation needed In 1989 an unusually impressive silver treasure was found by local farm workers by the mouth of Dvina right next to present day Arkhangelsk 19 It was probably buried in the beginning of the 12th century and contained articles that may have been up to two hundred years old at that time citation needed Most of the findings comprised a total of 1 6 kilograms 3 5 lb of silver largely in the form of coins Jewelry and pieces of jewelry come from Russia or neighboring areas The majority of the coins were German but the hoard also included a smaller number of Kufan English Bohemian Hungarian Danish Swedish and Norwegian coins citation needed It is hard to place this find historically until further research is completed There are at least two possible interpretations It may be a treasure belonging to the society outlined by the Norse source material Generally such finds whether from Scandinavia the Baltic area or Russia are closely tied to well established agricultural societies with considerable trade activity citation needed Alternatively like the Russian scientists who published the find in 1992 19 one may see it as evidence of a stronger case of Russian colonization than previously thought Novgorodians arrive Edit In the 12th century the Novgorodians established the Archangel Michael Monastery in the estuary of the Northern Dvina citation needed The main trade center of the area at that time was Kholmogory located 75 kilometers 47 mi southeast of Arkhangelsk up the Dvina River about 10 kilometers 6 2 mi downstream from where the Pinega River flows into the Dvina Written sources indicate that Kholmogory existed early in the 12th century but there is no archeological material of this period It is not known whether the origin of this settlement was Russian or if it goes back to pre Russian times In the center of the small town or Gorodok that is there today is a large mound of building remains and river sand but it has not been archeologically excavated citation needed Norwegian Russian conflict Edit Location of Arkhangelsk in northwestern Russia The area of Arkhangelsk came to be important in the rivalry between Norwegian and Russian interests in the northern areas From Novgorod the spectrum of Russian interest was extended far north to the Kola Peninsula in the 12th century However here Norway enforced taxes and rights to the fur trade A compromise agreement entered in 1251 was soon broken clarification needed citation needed In 1411 Yakov Stepanovich from Novgorod went to attack Northern Norway This was the beginning of a series of clashes In 1419 Norwegian ships with five hundred soldiers entered the White Sea The Murmaners as the Norwegians were called cf Murmansk plundered many Russian settlements along the coast among them the Archangel Michael Monastery 20 Novgorod managed to drive the Norwegians back However in 1478 the area was taken over by Ivan III and passed to the Grand Duchy of Moscow with the rest of the Novgorod Republic Trade with England Scotland and the Netherlands Edit Three English ships the Bona Esperanza Edward Bonaventure and Bona Confidentia set out to find the Northeast passage to China in 1553 two disappeared and one the Edward Bonaventure ended up in the White Sea at Nyonoksa eventually coming across the area of Arkhangelsk at the mouth of the Dvina River where the St Nicolas Monastery stood Subsequently the English gave the name St Nicolas Bay to the sea now known as the White Sea Ivan the Terrible found out about this and brokered a trade agreement with the ship s captain Richard Chancellor Trade privileges were granted to English merchants in 1555 leading to the founding of the Company of Merchant Adventurers which began sending ships annually into the estuary of the Northern Dvina Dutch merchants also started bringing their ships into the White Sea from the 1560s 21 Scottish and English merchants also traded in the 16th century however by the 17th century it was mainly the Dutch that sailed to the White Sea area citation needed Founding and further development Edit Plan of New Dvina Fort in Arkhangelsk In 1584 Ivan ordered the founding of New Kholmogory which would later be renamed after the nearby Archangel Michael Monastery At the time access to the Baltic Sea was still mostly controlled by Sweden so while Arkhangelsk was icebound in winter it remained Moscow s almost sole link to the sea trade Local inhabitants called Pomors were the first to explore trade routes to Northern Siberia as far as the trans Urals city of Mangazeya and beyond In December 1613 during the Time of Troubles Arkhangelsk was besieged by Polish Lithuanian marauders commanded by Stanislaw Jasinski Lisowczycy who failed to capture the fortified town In 1619 and again in 1637 fires broke out and the entire city burned down citation needed In 1693 Peter the Great ordered the creation of a state shipyard in Arkhangelsk A year later the ships Svyatoye Prorochestvo Holy Prophecy Apostol Pavel Apostle Paul and the yacht Svyatoy Pyotr Saint Peter were sailing in the White Sea However he also realized that Arkhangelsk would always be limited as a port due to the five months of ice cover and after a successful campaign against Swedish armies in the Baltic area he founded St Petersburg in May 1703 Nonetheless Arkhangelsk continued to be an important naval base and maritime centre in the Russian north 22 Icon of Archangel Michael shown as protector of Arkhangelsk In 1722 Peter the Great decreed that Arkhangelsk should no longer accept goods that amounted to more than was sufficient for the town for so called domestic consumption It was due to the Tsar s will to shift all international marine trade to St Petersburg This factor greatly contributed to the deterioration of Arkhangelsk that continued up to 1762 when this decree was cancelled citation needed Arkhangelsk declined in the 18th century as the Baltic trade became ever more important Its economy revived at the end of the 19th century when a railway to Moscow was completed and timber became a major export The city resisted Bolshevik rule from 1918 to 1920 and was a stronghold of the anti Bolshevik White Army The White Army was supported by an Allied intervention in which British French Italian and American troops helped to defend against the Bolsheviks The Allied forces led by British Lieutenant General Frederick Poole suffered numerous set backs and eventually withdrew from Russia Without Allied support the poorly disciplined White Army quickly collapsed and the Bolsheviks entered Arkhangelsk on February 21 1920 23 Arkhangelsk was also the scene of Mudyug concentration camp During both world wars Arkhangelsk was a major port of entry for Allied aid During World War II the city became known in West Europe as one of the two main destinations along with Murmansk of the Arctic Convoys bringing supplies in to assist the Soviet Union During Operation Barbarossa the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 Arkhangelsk was one of two cities the other being Astrakhan selected to mark the envisioned eastern limit of German control This military operation was to be halted at this A A line but never reached it as the German armies failed to capture either of these two cities and also failed to capture Moscow Arkhangelsk was also the site of Arkhangelsk ITL or the Arkhangelsk Labour Camp in the 1930s and 1940s Today Arkhangelsk remains a major seaport now open year round due to improvements in icebreakers The city is primarily a center for the timber and fishing industries On March 16 2004 58 people were killed in an explosion at an apartment block in the city Administrative and municipal status EditArkhangelsk is the

MuseumAn airstrip in Arkhangelsk was the fictional setting for a level in the 1997 hit videogame Goldeneye 007 39 Literature Edit The Russian North and in particular the area of Arkhangelsk is notable for its folklore Until the mid 20th century fairy tales and bylinas were still performed on the daily basis by performers who became professionals Starting from the 1890s folkloric expeditions have been organized to the White Sea area and later to other areas of the Arkhangelsk Governorate in order to write down the tales and the bylinas especially in Pomor dialects citation needed In the 1920s mostly due to the efforts of Anna Astakhova these expeditions became systematic By the 1960s the performing art was basically extinct These folkloric motives and fairy tales inspired the literary works of Stepan Pisakhov and Boris Shergin who were both natives of Arkhangelsk citation needed Geography EditClimate Edit Arkhangelsk experiences a subarctic climate Koppen climate classification Dfc
