Peter Velivy looked at dflo from an even broader point of view; taking into account the position of Kazan near the junction of the Kama and the Volga, he wanted to make Kazan the center of trade relations with Siberia, China, Perch and central Asian markets; With this goal, he made every effort to develop trade and industry in the city. Through various benefits, through the colonization of the region, through the establishment of peace on the middle Volga, much was then achieved. Merchants and artisans began to flock to Kazan, and the city began to grow rapidly and become wealthy. Zatfm, Dalfe, by order of Peter, cloth factories and a tannery were founded in Vazan, and later the city received the status of a major center of Russian shipbuilding, not only river, but also sea. So, for example, in 1710, a squadron of five ships built here was sent to the Bali Sea from Kazan: “City of Kazan”, “Overnaya Zvezda”, “Sun”, “Eagle” and “Polussyats”. Soon after, eight ships were built here for the Azov Fleet. Peter's zealous associate in the Kazan shipbuilding department was the head of the ship's personnel of the entire Volga region, Nikita Alferovich Kudryavtsev, one of the outstanding Kazan figures of the first quarter of the 18th century.
Obviously, the Great Transformer of Rossli, having finally settled on Bazan, as the center of a region rich in forests and, moreover, a center that had already declared itself in the Russian shipbuilding industry, by decree of 1718 established the Kazan Admiral a nation that, during 112 years of its further existence, set for the Kasshi fleet up to 400 ships of different types. Mafsto for admiralpotrvya b took b =} - g church was elected near the village of Bezhboldy, on the lands of the Assumption Monastery, on bank of the Kazanka River; it corresponds to the location of the current spring piers of military warehouses, the Yauravlevs' grain plant and the carriage depot of horse-drawn railways. Thus, the buildings of the Kazan Admiralty were spread over the space of two dessiatinas, and now there are stone military warehouses
You are the remains of the Admiralty buildings. N.A. Kudryavtsev, who was entrusted with all this work, set about it with his characteristic energy. The recruited staff of artisans and workers joined the peasants of the village of Bezhboldy and quickly began the construction of the settlement, which later grew into a large settlement and has retained the name Admiralty to this day. Then seven boathouses were built, on which ships, buildings of industrial shops, workshops, barracks and sheds were to be built. All this was surrounded by a deep ditch that ran from the bank of the Kazanka River, went around the Admiralty and flowed below it into the river; The ditch was intended partly for fencing buildings, and partly for resinous shipbuilding materials in it, in order to give them anti-rotten properties.
City passage. ^
The administration of the Admiralty was moved to the city, to a house purchased for it in 1719 near the Kazan Maiden’s Monastery and was called “Vontoroy of the Office and Ship Dfls.” This went on until 1728, when the Obvetigavian house was built again and began to be called the “Lena Office,” and later, from 1733, according to the new states for the fleet and admiralties, the “Admiralty Office.” During a huge fire in 1742, the VMFSTF office with the Admiralty archive and the current records of the institution became a victim of fire, and only in 1758 a stone house was built for it. The place where these buildings existed one after another now belongs to the zemstvo hospitals.
The establishment of the Admiralty in Kazan also required various auxiliary institutions; Therefore, in 1718 it was given. a decree on the construction of “saw mills” for the manufacture of ship plating and a foreign mill master was sent. In 1719, it was ordered to establish a “pump factory,” that is, a factory for the production of leather necessary for ship pumps. Further, until 1728,
A number of decrees followed to send various shipbuilding specialists to Kazan.
