The center of the coal mining and chemical industry of the Russian Federation is rightly considered the city of Kemerovo. The population of the city is distinguished by the same feature as the majority of the inhabitants of Siberia - industriousness. Kemerovo is one of the largest settlements in this region. The city is the administrative center of its region, the heart of Kuzbass. This name was assigned to the settlement due to the largest coal basin in the world - Kuznetsk.
History of occurrence
It was from residents that the name of the settlement - Kemerovo. The population at that time was called Shors or Kuznetsk Tatars. And in the native language of the inhabitants, the word Kemer was used to denote a slope or mountain.
The first villages appeared on this site in the seventeenth century. Verkhotomsky prison, whose purpose was to protect the state from raids by Kalmyks and Kyrgyz, was in fact the first settlement to emerge on the territory of modern Kemerovo. Soon, the prison changed its direction and became one of the places for the development of agriculture. The population of Kemerovo in those days was represented mainly by peasants.
Coal boom
A big revival in the village occurred after the discovery of the Shcheglovsky coal deposit. Then, according to the order of Anna Ioannovna, the Siberian tract was laid . In the developed area, new villages were actively emerging. People worked in the field of trade, were engaged in cabling and cleaning. Workers in mines and factories were exiled and hard labor, who were distilled along the highway.
To increase production capacity, more natural resources were required. Actively mastered more and more new deposits. The construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway has begun. This event laid the foundation for the industrial development of Kuzbass. New workers' settlements appeared, which eventually turned into large cities.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Kemerovo mine became the property of Kopikuz Joint-Stock Company. The change of ownership has caused a large influx of labor. These were both local peasants and visitors from various provinces. Prisoners of war represented a special category of workers.
The breakthrough in industry occurred with the advent of Soviet power. For the active development of the coal and metallurgical industries, the government decides to establish an industrial colony in Kemerovo. The population increased sharply, which was facilitated by the influx of visitors from abroad. Engineers and architects from many countries of Europe and America wanted to work at the world's only industrial colony. Workers arriving at AIC were involved in the development of coal deposits and the development of infrastructure. They paved roads, built houses, schools, hospitals.
In 1924, the city became a district center, and eight years later received its modern name. Shcheglovsk was renamed Kemerovo.
War time
With the outbreak of World War II, most of the townspeople went to the front. But mining enterprises continued to fully supply not only the army, but also the country with fuel. In the workplace, men and women have replaced men and women. This once again suggests that the entire population of the city of Kemerovo, from small to large, is very hardworking.
At the height of the war, the city received the status of a regional center. A fifth of the settlements of the Novosibirsk region became subordinate to Kemerovo. Such a development of events is not surprising because the residents of Kemerovo accounted for more than forty percent of the total population of the Novosibirsk region. In addition, the city was already an administrative center, had a powerful industrial potential.
In the postwar years, the village was intensively rebuilt. Tall buildings appeared. The number of scientific, technical and cultural institutions increased. The industrial complex has been developing steadily.
Employment Options
The population of Kemerovo is mainly the working class. So, in the city there are always vacancies for chemists, engineers and specialists of any other technical professions. Active development of the service sector has influenced the emergence of vacancies in this industry: it is mainly about the trade sector.
The best employment options in Kemerovo are:
- The most prestigious is the work in the Holding of the Siberian Business Union. The organization conducts business in many industries - from the production of alcoholic beverages to the coal mining industry.
- Jobs replete with the association "Khimprom". The company produces organic and inorganic chemistry products. Of the proposed employment options, the company requires not only specialists of a narrow profile, but also, for example, programmers or cooks.
- Open Joint Stock Company KOKS, specializing in the production of cast iron, can be a great start for a future career. They start here with working professions, but salaries and prospects justify hard work.
Demographic situation
Until recently, the largest number of residents in the region was not recorded in Kemerovo at all. The population prevailed in Novokuznetsk. This is due to the fact that during the Soviet Union the management of enterprises preferred to work away from the authorities. And since enterprises are more difficult to transfer, all the ruling structures settled in Kemerovo.
But the city was in second place in the region until 2015. An uncharacteristic demographic growth for Russia has contributed to the fact that the population of Kemerovo has become equal to almost 552 thousand people, which is almost nine hundred inhabitants more than in Novokuznetsk. This trend indicates the stable development of the city.
