"Sorrow and Sorrow."

Every city has a history and heroes. Donetsk is a young city, and therefore cannot boast of a rich past. The official date of his birth is 1869 - the beginning of construction of the metallurgical plant. Consequently, our city of Donetsk, previously called Yuzovka, then Stalino, is only 140 years old. However, even in such a short period of time, the capital of Donbass managed to capture a short history of its “life” in its open spaces. Now in Donetsk there are 16 architectural monuments and 262 historical and cultural monuments - sculptures, memorials, memorial signs, memorial plaques.

Of the main memorable places in Donetsk, the first to be highlighted is the house where the founder of the city, namely John Hughes, once lived. It’s no wonder that the house itself now bears his name and is called nothing less than.

This is Yuz's second home and was built in 1974. At first it was a one-story building consisting of 8 rooms. The façade was made of red brick and the roof was covered with iron. Behind the house there were outbuildings. Not far from the house there was a large garden. The estate itself was surrounded by a fence made of wild sandstone. In front of the house there were flower beds with flowers that decorated the entrance to the house and a path of decorative stones, which made the overall picture even more picturesque.

At first, Yuz and his sons lived in the house, but soon his wife, daughter and youngest son arrived from England. The wife wanted to make the house even more spacious and add a second floor to it. For this occasion, John hired one of the best architects from England. However, the construction of the house was repeatedly interrupted. This was due to sudden tragic events in the family: first, the youngest son of Iuz died, followed by John's wife. And a few years later he himself died.

The Yuz brothers resumed reconstruction of the house. A few years later its construction was completed. The house, built of pink and scarlet brick, was made in Renaissance style. The first floor was decorated with a terrace with a Renaissance arcade. On the second floor there was a spacious balcony, from the windows of which a wonderful view of the city and the metallurgical plant opened. A gentle staircase of small height and width led from the main entrance to the courtyard. The yard was paved with paving stones and decorated with flower beds, fountains, gazebos, twined with vines.

The brothers lived here until 1903. Then its owners were the managers Anderson, Svitsyn and other directors of the metallurgical plant.

The building was badly damaged during the Second World War. It was finally repaired only in the early 1980s. After the war, the house housed a maternity hospital, a non-alcoholic beverage production cooperative, and a deaf-mute society cooperative. However, in the late 1990s, the building was rented by a closed enterprise. The new owners do not allow strangers near the house.

Everyone knows that our city is the heart of the Donetsk coal basin and is famous for the work of its miners. That is why monument “ Glory to miners' labor is the “calling card” of Donetsk.

The monument is located in the center of Miner's Square, right at the entrance to the city center from the north. The monument, symbolizing the main profession of Donetsk, was created by sculptor Konstantin Efimovich Rakityansky and architect Pavel Isaakovich Vigdergauz.

It is a full-length sculpture of a miner holding a piece of coal in his outstretched right hand. The material for making the sculpture was cast iron, its weight is 22 tons, and for coal - aluminum, its weight is 90 kilograms.

Boris Gorb, a molder at the foundry shop of the Donetsk regional plant “Remkommunelektrotrans”, where the figure was cast, posed for the sculpture.

An interesting fact is that the miner's sculpture was originally made in the form of a figurine as a gift for Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev. True, for some reasons the gift never reached the hands of the first secretary of the CPSU Central Committee and, on the initiative of Degtyarev, a monument was created on the basis of this figurine.

After the reconstruction of Shakhtarskaya Square, the monument was moved slightly, its pedestal was made higher. In addition, the miner used to have a cape around his neck, but it was removed when the monument was moved.

Monument to N.S. Bubke

Monument to N.S. Bubke. Our region is also famous for its athletes! Our fellow countryman, Sergei Nazarovich Bubka, is a 10-time world record holder and Olympic champion. A lifetime monument was erected to such an honorary citizen of Donetsk near one of the largest sports complexes, “Olympic”. The monument was erected in 1999, under the leadership of architect V.S. Buchka and sculptor N.V. Yasinenko.

It is a bronze sculpture of an athlete with a pole in his hands, who is preparing to perform a jump. At the right knee of the sculpture is a flying swallow.

The height of the monument itself is 3.5 meters. The length of the pedestal on which the sculpture stands is 6 meters 15 centimeters. Sports fans know that this is the record height of Sergei Bubka's jump.

Residents of Yuzovka also strived for education, like modern youth. One of the oldest educational institutions in Donetsk is Brotherhood school. It was founded by the church brotherhood of the Transfiguration Church in 1896. Just 7 years later, a three-story building was built for the school, which was one of the tallest buildings in Yuzovka.

It was a church school, but it also taught secular subjects, the same as in secondary schools. Children from families of any income could study there - from merchants to workers. A little later, in 1925, the Stalin Regional Museum of Local Lore functioned on the second floor of the school.

During the Great Patriotic War, the school building was dilapidated. While its reconstruction was carried out, the Donetsk Pedagogical Institute was located in the building. However, the building area was too small for the institute. Students studied in two shifts, evening classes were held, but this did not save the situation. Additional classes and consultations were sometimes held in the corridors and even on the stairs! Only thanks to the joint efforts of teachers and students was the building completely renovated, and in 1959 the Pedagogical Institute allowed itself to move to new academic buildings.

Then an incomplete secondary school functioned here, and a little later - an evening school for working youth. After a while, even a car driving school was organized here. The building currently hosts evening school classes.

In Donetsk there is also memorial sign “Bochum” . This gift is from the German city of Bochum. In 1997, city representatives gave us a copy of their famous bell, which was cast in 1949. The Donetsk copy, however, is 10 times smaller than the original.

The bell, installed in front of the town hall in Bochum, is the first bell in the world to be produced by shaped steel casting. It was cast by Bochum foundry Jakob Mayer in 1851. At the World Exhibition in Paris in 1867, his work was a great success. Mayer even became envious of Alfred Krupp, his competitor. He claimed that the bell was cast from cast iron. However, justice prevailed and the value of the bell was proven.

Now such an expensive gift decorates the territory near the administration building of the Donetsk City Council.
