Preface
Ob - Siberian river
The Ob River is the main river in Western Siberia, length 3650 km, basin area 2.99 million square meters. km. The source of the river is considered to be the confluence of the Biya and Katun rivers near the village of Odintsovka in the urban district of Biysk, Altai Territory; flows into the Ob Bay of the Kara Sea on the territory of the Yamalo-Nenets District.
Before the arrival of Russian settlers, the valley of the Ob River and its right tributaries from the mouth to approximately the current village of Aleksandrovskoye, Tomsk region, was inhabited by Finno-Ugric tribes of hunters and fishermen Khanty(until the 1930s we called them Ostyaks ) . The foothills of the Polar Urals and the left tributaries of the Ob were inhabited by related tribes Mansi(formerly called worguls).
In the tundra, north of present-day Salekhard, their reindeer herds grazed Nenets(formerly called Samoyeds), belonging to the Samoyedic group. In winter, they migrated south to the territory south of Salekhard and reached approximately the current village of Berezovo.
Up the Ob River from the village of Aleksandrovskoye on the middle Ob and along its tributaries they settled Selkups(previously called Ostyak-Samoyeds), who, like the Nenets, belonged to the Samoyed group, but in culture were closer to the Khanty-Mansi tribes.
On the upper Ob, above the mouth of the Tom River, Turkic peoples settled: Siberian Tatars, and in the upper reaches of the river itself - Altaians, engaged in cattle breeding and agriculture, and along the Tom River - Shors engaged in hunting and fishing.
First Russians Hunters, having crossed the Polar Urals, saw the Ob River back in the 12th century. Since 1187, the lower Ob, called the Obdorsky region, was part of the volosts of Veliky Novgorod. From the end of the 16th century, the first Russian settlements began to appear on Obdorsk land - forts and yasak winter huts. Soon, following the Russians, the Komi came to the Ob from Pechora, establishing their settlements. Thus, in particular, on the Malaya Ob in the village of Muzhi, Yamalo-Nenets Okrug, a whole diaspora of Izhem Komi-Zyryans arose.
Different peoples who inhabited the river call the Ob differently. So, the Nenets call it “Sala-yam”, which means cape river; The Khanty and Mansi gave it the name “As” - a big river; The Selkups call it “Kvay”, that is, a large river. In Altai, Ob is “Umardy”, which means northern river.
The river has been used by local residents for a long time. In 1844, the first shipping company was organized on the Ob. In terms of the number of vessels (steam 114 and non-self-propelled 400), the Ob-Irtysh basin ranked third in Russia, second only to the Volga and Dnieper. In 1891, the Ob-Yenisei Canal was built, connecting the Ket River (the right tributary of the Ob) with the Bolshoy Kas River (the left tributary of the Yenisei). This canal was in use until 1941, but was later abandoned because the post-war fleet, with its large dimensions and draft, could not pass through its locks and it turned out to be more economical to access the Yenisei through the Gulf of Ob.
During the Soviet period, the volume of transportation of goods and passengers in the Ob-Irtysh basin ranked second after the Volga. Here, 2 shipping companies of the MRF of the RSFSR were organized: West Siberian with a center in Novosibirsk, carrying out transportation mainly in the Novosibirsk, Tomsk and Kemerovo regions and the Altai Territory; and Irtyshskoe, later transformed into Ob-Irtyshskoe with a center in Omsk, transporting cargo and passengers throughout the Omsk and Tyumen and Sverdlovsk regions, as well as delivering cargo to the extreme northern regions of the Ob-Taz Bay.
Much attention was paid to passenger transportation in the basin. Thus, the Tyumen Shipyard mastered the production of cabin passenger ships of projects 331 and 860, new ships were purchased from the GDR (project 646), Czechoslovakia (project 785), Hungary (projects 737A and 305), as well as from Austria (project Q-065), later transferred to the Lena River.
During perestroika, the Ob river transport, as throughout the country, fell into decay. Shipping companies were fragmented and privatized, and small private shipping companies were unable not only to purchase a new fleet, but also to maintain the existing one in working order. Therefore, most passenger and all tourist lines were closed. The vessels, except for the Remix (formerly Mikhail Kalinin) and Rodina, have been decommissioned or, after a major overhaul, are not suitable for operation on passenger and tourist lines.
For the first time in 20 years, tourist transportation on the 305 project motor ship was resumed along the Ob and Irtysh in 2016. Of course, I couldn’t help but take advantage of this. Moreover, the Middle Ob from the mouth of the Tom to the Irtysh and the Malaya Ob channel are the last main navigable sections on the territory of Russia that I have not passed.
The trip “Walking up the Ob” was carried out from July 14 to August 3, 2016, during which a total of 9,760 km was covered through 18 subjects Russian Federation. During the trip, conventional boundaries were passed:
1. Europe and Asia- from Moscow to Moscow: in the Middle Urals along the main course of the Trans-Siberian Railway.
2. Arctic Circle- in the Arctic: in the Komi Republic at the intersection in Salekhard. From the Arctic
During the main part of the trip, only along the Ob River, including the channels of Kharposl, Malaya Ob, Vaysova, Kolzha and Chehloney, 2880 km were covered on the motor ship "Remix", in addition, a ferry crossing across the river was used. Ob: Labytnangi - Cape Korchagi (2 km). There was a passage by boat along the Poluy River for 2 km from the Salekhard river station to the Kharposl channel, as well as entries into the rivers Northern Sosva to Berezovo (27 km), Irtysh to Khanty-Mansiysk (19 km), Tom to Tomsk (69 km), Berd to Berdsk (2 km) and to the Bezymyannaya channel to Narym (2 km).
During the 21 days of the trip, 27 were visited settlements in the Arkhangelsk, Kemerovo, Novosibirsk and Tomsk regions, Khanty-Mansiysk and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.
The route passed through many natural areas countries, through the zone of mixed forests, taiga, forest-tundra and tundra, as well as the high-altitude zone of the Polar and Middle Urals, forest-steppe and through the Barabinsky steppes, and all this can be seen in photographs.
Good luck!

The story presented is not a travel diary. It is based on the geographical factor. This is a story about the most interesting sights Nizhny Novgorod region in the vicinity of the regional center, about the middle reaches of the Volga River from the mouth of the Oka to the mouth of the Kama (477 km), the lower reaches of the Kama to the mouth of the Vyatka (181 km, taking into account the straightening of the Atabaevsky and Laishevsky knees) and the Vyatka River, along which we climbed 532 km from the mouth to the city of Kotelnich. The main part of the trip is passing the Vyatka River. I will tell you about its villages and villages, its beautiful, sometimes inaccessible shores, about its spring floods, about the history of these places. In a word, about what makes up a small grain of our big Motherland - RUSSIA. So from kilometer to kilometer we will move up the river, and it, in turn, will reveal its beauties to us.
The journey on the ship took place both up and down the river. We saw the same places in different times days, under different illumination, weather conditions and nature. So, when we just started the route, the deciduous trees were still almost bare, and at the end of the journey, they dressed in a green outfit. All these differences will be visible in the pictures.
For a more correct understanding of the river, when describing the river route, the approximate kilometer of the shooting location will be indicated in blue: along the Volga and Kama - from the Southern port of Moscow through Dubna (kilometre of the United deep-sea system the European part of Russia), and along Vyatka, which is not part of the Unified State System - from the mouth of the river.
Let's start the story about the Vetluzh villages.

Part 1. Through Vetluzhsky villages
The route began early in the morning of May 2, 2014 at the small Vetluzhskaya station, located 571 km from Moscow on the Nizhny Novgorod - Kotelnich railway line in the Krasnobakovsky district of the Nizhny Novgorod region. At the station we agreed with a private owner and went to the village of Voskresenskoye, stopping at the village of Troitskoye along a road without bus traffic, which was removed in the late 1990s. The path ran through the uninteresting regional center Krasnye Baki, then along the Nizhny Novgorod - Kirov highway we crossed Vetluga, and through the endless forests of the left bank of Vetluga we headed to the village of Troitskoye, which is 53 km away. Krasnobakovsky and Voskresensky districts are located on the slightly hilly terrain of the Privetluzhsky plateau in the taiga zone.
The village of Troitskoye is located in the Voskresensky district of the Nizhny Novgorod region, 108 km northeast of Nizhny Novgorod and 9 km (hereinafter in a straight line) north of the regional center. The village is located on the picturesque Babya Mountain, located on the left bank of the oxbow of the Vetluga River.

In 1917, the village was located in the Makaryevsky district of the Nizhny Novgorod province. The village was founded in the 15th century at a river crossing on the way between the cities of Gorodets and Vyatka (from 1457 to 1781 - Khlynov; from 1934 - Kirov). In the 17th century, monks who fled after the Solovetsky uprising of 1668 - 1676. into the dense forests of Zavetluga, they founded the Trinity Old Believer Monastery here, which existed until the lane. floor. XVIII century, when it was ruined by the persecutors of the old faith. The monastery's churches were removed from the Old Believers and converted into a parish of the Russian Greek Orthodox Church (since 1943 - Russian Orthodox Church). The Trinity Church, built in 1713, has been preserved from the monastery. Another (winter) monastery church of St. Zosima and Savvaty Solovetsky on Tue. floor. XIX century due to disrepair, it was dismantled and nearby in the 1870s. a wooden temple of the same name was built.
Trinity Parish survived the hard times of the 20th century relatively well. Temples were closed only from 1941 to 1947.
The Trinity wooden church was built in 1713 using the log frame of the previous church. At the beginning of the 19th century, a separate bell tower was connected to the refectory covered porch. The plank cladding of the temple was made in the 19th century. In 2008, the roof of the temple was covered with iron, which worsened the artistic perception of the church.
The temple has preserved a unique carved maple iconostasis, but during the visit to the village, the temple was closed. The temple is opened for worship on the patronal feast of St. Trinity.
Church of St. Zosima and Savvaty Solovetsky was built in the 1870s. and is the winter church of the parish.
At the grave of Archpriest Fr. Nicholas (Repyev), who served in the temple for 40 years since 1882, erected a small chapel. According to the parish priest, Fr. Eugene, next to this chapel there are burials of monks.
Another chapel pillar was apparently built in the 19th century opposite the entrance to the temple territory.
From the church hill there are beautiful views of the spring floods of the Vetluga River. The oxbow lake on which the village stands is connected to the main riverbed.
The next stop on the journey is the village of Voskresenskoye, which is only 8.5 km in a straight line, and 41 km along the road (there are no nearest, even pedestrian, bridges to the regional center either through Vetluga or through Usta, and buses do not go to Troitskoye, the nearest bus 11 km away, which runs twice a week to Staroustye).
Voskresenskoye is a regional center of the Nizhny Novgorod region located on the right bank of the Vetluga River, 105 km northeast of Nizhny Novgorod in a forest area. The first mention of the village of Voskresensky dates back to 1614. In those days it was called Ilyinskoye. With construction on Tue. floor. In the 17th century, the wooden Resurrection Church began to name the village after the temple. Until 1917, the village of Voskresenskoye was the volost center of the Makaryevsky district of the Nizhny Novgorod province. There were two temples in the village. In the center of the village on the bank of Vetluga there is a large brick Church of the Resurrection of the Word with chapels of the Prophet Elijah, John the Baptist, the Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God and St. Nicholas, built in 1828 - 1858. The temple at the end is closed. 1930s and adapted into a cultural center. Since 2000, it has been operating again.
Another wooden church of Demetrius of Thessalonica, built in 1860 on a rural cemetery, was dismantled in the mid-twentieth century.
To the north of the Church of the Resurrection on the banks of the Vetluga, in a small park, the wooden manor house of the timber merchant S.N. Belyaev, built in 1904 -1906, has been preserved. Now it houses the regional museum of local lore.
Among the ordinary buildings of the village, a two-story mansion built at the beginning of the twentieth century stands out. Now the military registration and enlistment office is located here.
Beautiful shores of Vetluga. View from the village to the left bank of the river. During the flood, a cow calmly grazes on the resulting island.
Here we say goodbye to Vetluga and move on a PAZik to the village of Vladimirskoye, located on the left bank of the Lyunda River - the right tributary of Vetluga, 20 km west of the village of Voskresenskoye.
Until the 17th century, there was a village called Lunda, named after the local river. With the construction of the temple, the village received the status of a village and began to be called after the name of the temple. The current wooden Vladimir Church was built in 1766.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, a brick winter St. Nicholas Church was built on the edge of the village. During the years of Soviet power, the temple was closed, the roof and the bell tower were broken. Although a cross has now been erected on the temple, services are still not conducted in it.
Of the residential and commercial buildings preserved in the village, the fire station with a watchtower, built at the beginning of the twentieth century, deserves attention; it is still used for its intended purpose.
Having crossed to the right bank of the Lyunda River, we headed along a beautiful birch alley to the legendary Lake Svetloyar.
Lake Svetloyar is located 1 km west of the village of Vladimirskoye in the territory of the Voskresenskoye Povetluzhye natural park. The lake is a meteorite crater formed approximately 3 thousand years ago. Before hitting the surface of the earth, the meteorite moved from north to south along a low trajectory - about 30 - 40 degrees to the surface of the earth. The lake has an oval shape with an area of about 12 hectares, dimensions 450 x 350 m and a depth of up to 33 m; It is distinguished by clean and clear water, it is fed by numerous bottom springs, and the lake itself has a flow into the Lyunda River. The first explorer of Lake Svetloyar was the great Russian geologist and soil scientist V.V. Dokuchaev, who examined the lake in 1886.

The name of the lake comes from two Old Russian words: “light”, i.e. pure, righteous and “Yar”, which is the root of the Russian deity Yarila, who was worshiped by the ancient tribes of the Slavs.
The legend about the lake says: Grand Duke Yuri Vsevolodovich, son of Prince. Vsevolod the Big Nest, having built the city of Maly Kitezh on the Volga(now the city of Gorodets, Nizhny Novgorod region), went to dense forests Trans-Volga region. Having crossed the quiet swampy rivers Uzola, Sandu and Kerzhenets, he came to Lunda on the shore of Lake Svetloyar, where the city of Bolshoy Kitezh was built on the island. When the hordes of Khan Batu approached Little Kitezh, a battle ensued. In an unequal battle, most of the Russian warriors were killed, but the prince with the remnants of the army retreated to the secluded lake Svetloyar. Batu, having captured Maly Kitezh, ordered the torture of the prince’s close people who were taken prisoner in order to find out about the place where Prince Yuri Vsevolodovich was hiding with his army. One of the prisoners named Grishka Kuterma, unable to bear the torment, revealed secret paths to Svetloyar. A few days later, Batu's hordes approached the lake. The battle broke out again. Prince Yuri Vsevolodovich died, but the city did not fall to the enemies. God heeded the prayers of the townspeople and showed a miracle: Kitezh with all its temples, houses and inhabitants disappeared under the water of the lake. It exists there to this day. If you're lucky, you can see a wonderful vision of the city of Kitezh at the bottom of Svetloyar, and when you touch the ground, you can hear the evening chime of its church bells.
The legend about the city that disappeared in the waters of Svetloyar, imbued with the spirit of patriotism, inspired N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov to create the opera “The Legend of the Invisible City of Kitezh and the Maiden Fevronia.”
The name Kitezh is believed to come from the princely village of Kideksha, located on the right bank of the Nerl River (a tributary of the Klyazma), 5 km east of Suzdal.
Bo, most of the lake's coastline is low, sometimes swampy.
Only on the southern shore are several hills approaching the lake, formed as a result of the ejection of rock from the crater during a meteorite impact on the surface of the earth. Each hill has its own name. So, the hill on which the chapel stood until 1917, and on which the Kazan wooden church has stood since 2000, is called Blagoveshchensky.
Near the temple there is one of the Orthodox shrines - the “Foot of the Virgin Mary” stone. According to legend, the Mother of God herself left her mark on this stone. There are quite a few such stones in our great Motherland. Geologists call them "traces". The water taken from the “stack” is believed to be holy and healing. But during our visit, the weather was dry and sunny for several days and the “stack” was dry.
At the top of Annunciation Hill there is a worship cross. In the foreground of the photo, near the shadow of a tree, a stone is clearly visible, above which, according to legend, the altar of an ancient Orthodox church was located.
On the neighboring Assumption Hill, with the blessing of the Ancient Orthodox Patriarch Alexander, cathedral Old Believer prayers have resumed since 2004.
We walked around the perimeter of this sacred lake. The entire route, about 1.7 km long, passed along wooden pavements. Along the shores of the lake, the first spring flowers pleased the eye: oak anemone
and the noble liverwort.
Having examined Svetloyar, we headed back to the village of Vladimirskoye, from where we took a bus to Semyonov.
The city of Semenov is located on the left bank of the small river Sanokhta, the right tributary of the Kerzhenets, on the territory of the vast Volga-Kerzhenskaya lowland, 60 km northeast of Nizhny Novgorod. It arose in the 17th century as an Old Believer settlement in the dense forests of the Nizhny Novgorod Trans-Volga region. First mentioned in 1644. Since 1717, this was already the village of Semyonovo, which in 1779 was transformed into a district town of the Nizhny Novgorod governorship (since 1796, the Nizhny Novgorod province). The proximity to the Makaryevskaya and later Nizhny Novgorod fairs led to the development of folk crafts in the area. In the district there was the village of Khokhloma, world famous for its painting. Although Khokhloma has been in the Koverninsky district of the Nizhny Novgorod region since 1929, its fishing began to flourish in the city. Initially, since 1925 it was a small artel Khokhloma painting, converted into a factory in 1960.
This small quiet town produces good impression, despite the loss of the main dominant feature of the city - the five-domed Ascension Cathedral, built in 1819-1821. and completely rebuilt into the House of Culture in the 1930s.
We walked around the still sleeping city early in the morning. In the central part of the city of Semenov there is the Old Believer St. Nicholas Church, built in 1916 at the expense of the merchant A.P. Nosov.
Against railway station, in the former cemetery, turned into a park during the years of Soviet power, the Church of All Saints, built in 1863, has been preserved. Currently this is the only one in operation Orthodox Church cities.
Near All Saints Church in the 2000s. A small baptismal church was built.
Near the St. Nicholas Old Believer Church stands the house of the merchant A.P. Nosov, built in 1879.
The house of merchant P.P. Sharygin, built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, now houses the city history and art museum.
The city center has preserved many wooden residential buildings from the 19th and early 20th centuries. 
Walking around the city, your attention is drawn to the skillfully made decorations on the fences. These are bouquets of flowers in vases, and painted spoons, and all sorts of birds, etc. It seems like a small thing, but the city looks very elegant.
Having examined the city, we continued our journey by morning train to the Volga capital - the city of Nizhny Novgorod.
To be continued...

Travelers are people through whom huge amount new information, impressions, new faces, cities and countries. Even with a very trained memory, memories are forgotten and blurred over time. Therefore, many adventurers use the Internet to document their adventures. Often, not only for yourself, but also for others. Now it's easy. You can even keep a diary using a modern phone, which will replace a computer and. And the Internet has become so accessible that even in another country many can afford to be online 24 hours a day.
But it wasn't always like this. For centuries, travelers were content with their paper travel diaries. Adventurers wrote in them about their adventures, accompanying the text with simple but very capacious sketches. They glued tickets, stamps, and labels into the notebook in order to make the note more life and the color of the area in which they are at the moment are located. Only thanks to such travel notes, many years later the traveler could relive those highlights. Each entry in a traveler's notebook acts as a bookmark for an event in memory.
If travelers had not kept diaries, we would never have known about the dramatic details of the conquest of the New World by Christopher Columbus. Thanks to the travel diaries of Nikolai Miklouho-Maclay, we know in detail about the discovery of New Guinea. James Cook's detailed accounts tell us about his three voyages around the world, during which he discovered hundreds of islands (including the famous Hawaii). And with the help of the diary of Antonio Pyphagetta, a surviving member of Ferdinand Magellan’s expedition, it was possible to reconstruct the events of the first trip around the world in history.
Keeping a paper travel diary is a way to develop the ability to fit the big in the small, develop imagination and learn to write sentences without subsequent editing, which we are so accustomed to in our computer era. No online blog can compare with the feeling of holding a battered leather-bound notebook in your hands and re-reading entries from 10-20-30... years ago. Try keeping a paper travel diary. I decided to write travel notes on paper on my next trip.

conjure(Column #25: Travel Diary). In this post you can find out what a traveler's diary is and ideas for keeping it...
The tradition of keeping diaries while traveling has quite deep roots and developed long before the birth of Moleskines with their convenient formats, designed for collecting recipes, wine lists, creating sketches and collecting pleasant little things on the road.
The Germans have a wonderful saying: “Reisen - bildet,” which can be loosely translated as “Travel helps one become educated.” Many people are familiar with the stories of artists, poets, or simply idle young people who, a few centuries ago, embarked on a journey to strengthen their knowledge of foreign languages, dispel lovesickness, or simply see the world - to see others, to show themselves.
The French painter and graphic artist Eugene Delacroix had a whole series of sketch notebooks, which he sketched with watercolor sketches of costumes for his future canvases while traveling in Greece, Morocco and other countries.
With the artists of the past, it is more or less clear why they needed live sketches. Going on a trip was almost the only way out to collect plausible information about the morals and customs of some country, whose vastness was then born on canvases in the artist’s studio, far from the original. What role do modern travel diaries play for a creative person? Are they needed at all and what is the use of them?
Just like in the times when you had to go to the library to get books, and to go on a tedious journey, for example, on horseback, to get pictures, modern diaries serve, first of all, as a very good support for your own memory.
Drawing everything around you, even just to pass the time waiting for a flight, departure, a meal in a restaurant, you begin to notice some things, small details that you would never spend a second on, just running past. It is precisely such little things that become real finds, and also tell much more about the country and its people than pompous castles, squares and sculptures.
Such notebooks, sketched along the way, convey our mood, the spirit of the place where we were, and sometimes they tell stories that we will simply forget a few days later.
While traveling, you can draw plenty of people from life and practice anatomy. 
Paste in bills or some finds that remind you of the place you visited.
When I travel, I try to take some kind of compact notebook that fits in my travel bag. A notebook in which you could make sketches during breaks to eat or wait for the bus, write down the events of the day or unexpectedly noticed details.
I first make my sketches with a pencil or felt-tip pen, and in the evening, in my hotel room, I take out the paints and brushes I brought.
I also try to take with me on the road materials that may be useful to me - city maps, photographs of attractions that I would like to see or some information about them. After all, anyway, when you go on a trip, you very often make a plan for yourself, where you would like to go, what to see.
Then I either paste in what I brought with me, or draw on the spot from nature, supplement it with finds, and less often, when I come home, I supplement the notebook with my own photographs from the trip.
A few months later, it is very nice to open such a notebook, leaf through it and remember the pleasant moments that were not lost thanks to such a travel diary.
How do you store your travel memories?
