History of Semenovka

Semyonovka as a Cossack settlement was founded by Starodub colonel Semyon Samoilovich in the 80s of the 17th century. At first it was part of the Starodubsky regiment, then - in the Novgorod-Seversky governorate, from 1796 - in the Little Russian, and from 1802 - in the Chernigov province, subordinate first to Novomestensky, and from 1808 - to Novozybkovsky district. From the end of the 18th century. it became a volost center.

Agriculture predominated. They mainly grew rye, buckwheat, hemp, and raised animals. But the sandy and clayey soils were unsuitable for farming, and the peasants looked for other means of subsistence. They were engaged in leather processing, shoemaking, pottery and spinning and weaving, and they made tar from birch bark. In connection with the development of handicrafts, associations of artisans (guilds) arose. In 1781, sewing, shoemaking, blacksmith weaving, pottery, butchery and other workshops operated here.

In the second quarter of the 19th century. Feudal manufactory arises. In the 1940s, cloth and canvas factories and a sugar factory were already operating. In addition, in 1847 there were 16 tanneries here, which processed over 2 thousand skins.

At the end of the 18th - beginning of the 19th centuries. Trade developed in Semyonovka. In 1781, 5 shops sold cloth, silk, metal products, sugar, tea, coffee, grape wines, and French vodka. The products of Semyonov artisans found sale not only in the bazaars of Chernigov, but also in neighboring provinces. Canvas and cloth were delivered to Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kharkov. In the middle of the 19th century. Three fairs took place annually in Semenovka.

The growth of trade, as well as the partial use of civilian labor in industrial enterprises, in particular tanneries, testified to the emergence of capitalism. But its development was hampered by feudal relations. The peasants of Semyonovka were in serfdom under the heirs of S. Samoilovich and were forced to work in their fields three days a week, provide the landowner's livestock with feed, and the estate with fuel. Some peasants switched to quitrent in order to engage in crafts and trade. Its size was very high: for one audit soul it was from 10 to 70 rubles. in year. The difficult situation caused discontent among the peasants. So, at the end of December 1796 they stopped going to corvée and performing other duties. The peasant uprising was suppressed in January 1797 by military force.

Residents of Semenovka took part in the struggle against foreign invaders. In 1812, during the war with Napoleon, the second Chernigov Cossack regiment was formed in Semenovka, which included 883 militia from the northern districts of the province. The regiment took part in guarding the approaches to Kaluga and Tula, and in the defeat of the retreating Napoleonic troops.

On the eve of the reform, in 1859, 7,774 people lived in 1,287 households in Semenovka. Of these, only 30 families ran independent households. The rest were serfs of P. Ladomirsky, who owned 23,645 acres of arable land in the city and nearby villages and farmsteads. There were only about 1.3 thousand dessiatines in use by the peasants.

As a result of the reform of 1861, 13,185 dessiatines of the worst lands were transferred to peasants, or an average of 3.8 dessiatines per revision per capita, for which they had to pay 342,265 krb. Having received plots of land, the peasants had no opportunity to either cultivate or fertilize them, which is why they harvested very low yields. Peasants were forced to rent the best land or go to work.

After the reform of 1861, due to a lack of raw materials, the sugar factory ceased to exist, and the canvas and cloth factories were transferred to the county town of Novozybko. Since 1902, only small enterprises operated in Semenovka: three hemp spinning factories, two oilseed plants, 8 leather factories, which employed only 102 workers. On the eve of the First World War, the Novozybkov-Pirogovka railway was built, which passed through Semyonovka.

The economic situation of workers and artisans was difficult. The artisans were completely dependent on the buyers, who dictated their prices.

Story

Handicrafts developed here, workshops were organized, but in 1783 Semyonovka was subjected to enslavement of the population, which is why local peasants rebelled for several years.

From the mid-19th century, craft traditions began to revive with renewed vigor. Semyonovka was already a small town, a volost center in the Novozybkovsky district of the Chernigov province. A canvas and cloth factory, a sugar factory, a dozen tanneries and other enterprises operated in the town. The railway through Semyonovka was built in 1904. In 1926 the town became a regional center in the Konopot district. Semyonovka was transformed into a city in 1958.
