Majority modern people likes to travel. In their personal list of favorite cities, you can find New York, Paris, London, Barcelona, ​​Moscow and many other world-famous settlements. Have you ever heard of Spas-Klepiki (Ryazan Region)? Or maybe even lucky enough to be there? No? And in vain ...

Today we will talk about this amazing place.

Section 1. Getting to know or general information about the locality

The city of Spas-Klepiki is a regional center, which is considered to be the smallest locality in the Ryazan region. Geographically, it is located in the middle in its northeastern side, at a distance of 67 km from the regional center of the city of Ryazan. It should be noted that there are two rivers at once. Almost the entire city lies on the Sovka, and only part of it is on the left bank of the Pra. The population is quite small. In 2013, it was only 5788 people. The settlement began to be called Spas-Klepikami at the beginning of the 20th century, and in 1920 it received the status of a city.

Section 2. History of occurrence

Historians claim that in the place where Spas-Klepiki is now located, the village was formed back in the 14th-15th centuries, although it was first mentioned in writing only in 1676. Then the name was a little shorter - Klepiki. The town got its name from the word "klepik", which is translated from Old Russian language means "fish cleaning knife".

Over time, the second part of the name appeared - "Spasskoe". This happened in the 19th century thanks to the opening of the Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord. By the way, there are two legends about the origin of the church. According to one of them, it is known that in the distant past there was a crossing in these places through which trade carts passed. Impenetrable swamps made the crossing a hot spot for robbers, among whom the Klepikov brothers became very famous. After the brothers got rich on the robbery, they repented, and therefore built a church in honor of the Savior. The second legend says that the robbers were beheaded, and the Church of the Savior was built by merchants in honor of deliverance from robberies.

But one way or another, a modest settlement played a huge role in the history of the formation of the country. Why? The fact is that very important trade routes were laid through Spas-Klepiki in the 17th century: one led from ancient Ryazan to Vladimir, and the second - from Yegorievsk to Kasimov. Crafts developed actively. In the second half In the 17th century, a linen factory was already operating here. Thanks to such circumstances, the village became the subject of interest of wealthy merchants and turned into a fairly major center. Merchants in the center of the city lined up their houses, thus forming a square square, from which streets with less wealthy houses stretched out in rays. Artisans, petty officials, handicraftsmen lived there.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the settlement became quite large. It had several dozen small shops, two churches, a pharmacy, a post and telegraph office, three schools and a hotel. Among other things, there were fifteen cotton factories producing cotton wool and tow, a tannery and a soap factory in Spas-Klepiki. A narrow-gauge railway was also built here. Railway, which by the beginning of the twentieth century connected Ryazan and Vladimir.

A few years ago, in 1999, there was a big fire. It burned the railway bridge over the river Pra and the station. To great joy local residents managed to save from the fire

Spas-Klepiki now does not have its own railway station. The nearest one is located in the village. Tuma, 25 km from the town.

Section 3. How does the city live now?

Today, the Interlok factory, which produces shoes, is actively operating here and providing jobs. But she is famous not only excellent quality but also low price. That is why often dishonest suppliers pass off the factory's products as Italian or French, thereby raising prices several times. Also in the city there are textile and knitwear, clothing and cotton mills. In addition to the above production, Spas-Klepiki also set up the production of plumbing hoses. Now the construction of a plant for the production of plastic windows is underway. Not far from the city, in forest lands, wood and peat are mined.

Section 4. Main attractions

The city has several culturally interesting museums at once:

• military and labor glory;
• wooden architecture;
• branch of the museum-reserve of the famous poet Sergei Yesenin.

Section 6. How to get there

Intrigued? Do you want to visit here in person? Well, then, remember the road: buses from Ryazan and from Ryazan constantly run to Spas-Klepiki. In addition, the following routes pass through the city: Egoryevskoye Highway (P105) and 67 km of the Ryazan-Spas-Klepiki road (P123). Spas-Klepiki can be reached from Moscow in about three hours via motorways Z105, R105, M5.

The museum is located on the Egoryevskoe Highway, near the town of Spas-Klepiki, not far from the village of Lunkino (Ryazan region, Klepikovsky district). It is noteworthy that this is not a museum of wooden architecture, as in Novgorod or Kostroma, there are not a huge number of wooden buildings and wicker bast shoes, for that there is an impressive exposition of carved wooden figures.

The museum is young - it is only 10 years old, like the School of Masters, but an exposition has already been formed that any museum of the art of woodcarving in the country can envy. The main thing that even experts note is that high quality works, their professional level. Just a glance at the winter gallery of the museum, which resembles the wooden ramparts of the Slavic Kremlin, and at the museum itself, which looks like a Russian tower and is decorated with house carvings traditional for the Ryazan region, suggests that the traditions of ancestors accumulated over the centuries are carefully preserved here, what is here all the best that is created in the school in close connection with these traditions will be consistently collected. As a bank for an enterprise, so for the School, a museum is a kind of magic box that contains the most expensive wealth, something that is created by human hands.

The formation of the museum became the logical embodiment of the idea of ​​V.P. Groshev “to give the children such professional education, to develop their artistic taste and abilities to such a level that would allow them to create real works of art. Naturally, such works must be stored somewhere, people must see them, and beginner carvers, those who come to the School after the elders, must learn from them, as from models.

The ancient village of Spas-Klepiki is the birthplace of the great Russian poet Sergei Yesenin. On the edge of the village there is a two-story brick building - the Spas-Klepikovskaya second-class teacher's school, in which Yesenin successfully passes exams in September 1909, and where he studies until 1912.

The school was opened in 1896, thanks to the efforts of the priest V. Dinariev, with donations from a village resident, merchant A.P. Popov. The school prepared teachers for church educational institutions.

educational institution closed type the future great poet did not like much, but the experience and knowledge of the teachers he met at the school had a great influence on the formation of the worldview and the formation of Sergei's personality.

Currently, the school is a museum of memory youthful years poet: the school environment has been preserved: the students' bedrooms, the lobby, where theology lessons and daily prayers were held, the desk at which Yesenin sat, his notebooks, the first poems.
