History

De-Kastri was named after the former name of the Chikhachev Bay on which it stands. The bay was discovered by La Perouse on July 25, 1787 and named after the expedition's sponsor, the Minister of the Navy, the Marquis de Castries. The bay is a convenient natural haven for ships, which is also valuable from a military point of view.

The settlement was founded in 1853. This happened 5 years before the signing of the Aigun Treaty, according to which Our Fatherland received these lands, as a result of this, there was still a special government order not to develop the lands south of the Amur Estuary. Nevertheless, well, practically at the end of winter, the youngest member of Nevelskoy's expedition N.K.Boshnyak was sent with 2 Cossacks and one Tungus to establish a post on the shore of De-Kastri Bay. First, the Alexander post was built, which was abolished by the beginning of the 20th century; later De-Kastri appeared.

In the aftermath of the defense of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky in 1854, during the Crimean War, the difficulties of supplying and defending Kamchatka became obvious. It was decided to move the port from Kamchatka without waiting for a second attack. Well, Practically At the End of Winter 1855, a Russian squadron with a gun and people under the control of Rear Admiral Zavoiko headed towards the mouth of the Amur, which, however, was still covered with ice. It was decided to wait for the ice drift, hiding in the De-Kastri Bay from the superior forces of the French and British. Russian ships were found there, but managed to leave for the Amur through the Tatar Strait before the arrival of enemy reinforcements. The British and French did not know that Sakhalin was a peninsula, and spent the entire final period of the war in fruitless waiting for the Russian fleet off its southern coast.

When drawing up the first plans for the railway network of the Russian Federation in 1858, N.N. Muravyov-Amursky proposed to build a railway between the village of Sofiyskoye on the Amur and the Alexander post. These plans were not implemented - the railway reached the Pacific Ocean much further south, in Vladivostok, and in Russian time in Vanino.

In 1890, De-Kastri was visited by A.P. Chekhov. He included his impressions of the village in the work "Sakhalin Island", where the Alexander post is referred to as "several houses and a church" with a priest coming from the village of Mariinsk. Bad weather (not quite sunny days) and large fish caught by Chekhov in the bay are also mentioned.

During the Russo-Japanese War, on July 10, 1905, the inhabitants of the land of the rising sun landed a landing in De-Kastri.

During the Civil War, from January 11 to February 27, 1920, the village was occupied by the White Guard detachment of I. N. Vits, consisting of 48 people. The White Guards hoped to hold out in the village until spring and the arrival of Japanese troops by sea to help them. In the aftermath of a short siege, the village was taken by red detachments. IN Vits, the commander of the detachment, desperate from the loss of Nikolaevsk-on-Amur and De-Kastri, shot himself in the Klosterkamp lighthouse near the village.

In 1932, fortifications were made around De-Kastri to defend against the Japanese occupying the south of Sakhalin at that time. 104 Dekastrinsky fortified area was formed before 1941, in 1940 the Dekastrinsky naval base with coastal gun batteries was formed. During the war, Russian ships were based and sheltered in the gulf; after the war, all fortifications were abandoned.

Industry and transport

Huge firms: LLC De-Kastriles, JSC De-Kastrinsky Trading House. Highway to Komsomolsk-on-Amur. The seaport accepts oil tankers with a carrying capacity of up to 110 thousand tons and universal ships - up to 5000 tons. The main cargoes are export timber (up to 550-580 thousand cubic meters per year) and crude oil (up to 550 thousand tons / month, data for January and February 2012). Navigation is year-round, in winter it is carried out with the help of escort icebreakers.

An oil loading terminal operates in the port of De-Kastri ( English) Exxon Neftegas Limited, manufactured as part of the Sakhalin-1 project. In March 2006, a berth for the mooring of giant tankers was erected, literally 6 km out to sea. Thus, the settlement has become the main shipping harbor for the shipment of oil arriving via a 221-kilometer oil pipeline from production sites on the shelf of neighboring Sakhalin. The export terminal belongs to the Sakhalin-1 project consortium. The terminal's capacity is about 12 million tons per year (88 million barrels). In 2009, 1.6 million tons (11.9 million barrels) of oil were shipped through De-Kastri.

There is a project for the construction of an oil product pipeline from an oil refinery in Komsomolsk-on-Amur to a village with a capacity of 3-4 million tons per year.

sights

In the village and its environs, excitement is represented by a museum, a lighthouse on Cape Orlova (formerly Kloster Camp) and catacombs during the Great Patriotic War. The fortifications around the bay were made in 1932 to protect the port from a possible invasion from the Land of the Rising Sun (which then belonged to the southern part of neighboring Sakhalin). Similar coastal defenses still exist in the area of ​​the Russian Harbor. Near the village there are still healing muds of the Somon lagoon, Mount Kazakevich (579 meters) and the Devil's ridge with Mount White Like Snow (880 meters).

Excerpt from De-Kastri

Berg and the Countess looked at her in perplexity and fear. The Count stopped at the window, listening.
- Mamma, this is impossible; look what's in the yard! She screamed. - They stay! ..
- What's the matter? Who are they? What do you want?
- The wounded, that's who! This is not allowed, mamma; it doesn't look like anything ... No, mamma, darling, it's not that, forgive me, please, darling ... Mamma, well, what are we taking away, just look at what's in the yard ... Mamma! .. It can't be ! ..
The count stood at the window and, without turning his face, listened to Natasha's words. Suddenly he sniffled and brought his face to the window.
The countess looked at her daughter, saw her face, ashamed of her mother, saw her agitation, understood why her husband was not looking back at her now, and looked around her with a confused look.
- Oh, do as you like! Am I interfering with anyone! She said, not yet suddenly giving up.
- Mamma, dear, forgive me!
But the countess pushed her daughter away and went up to the count.
“Mon cher, you make it right ... I don’t know that,” she said, lowering her eyes apologetically.
“Eggs… eggs teach a chicken…” the count said through happy tears and hugged his wife, who was glad to hide her ashamed face on his chest.
- Daddy, mommy! Can I have an order? Can I? .. - asked Natasha. - We will take all the most necessary ... - said Natasha.
The count nodded to her in the affirmative, and Natasha, with the fast run with which she ran into the burners, ran across the hall to the hallway and up the stairs to the courtyard.
People gathered around Natasha and until then could not believe that strange order that she was transmitting, until the count himself, in the name of his wife, confirmed the order to give all carts for the wounded, and carry the chests to the storerooms. Having understood the order, people with joy and hassle set about a new business. Now this not only did not seem strange to the servants, but, on the contrary, it seemed that it could not be otherwise, just as a quarter of an hour before that, no one not only thought it strange that they leave the wounded, but take things, but it seemed, which could not be otherwise.
All the households, as if paying for the fact that they had not taken up this earlier, began with the fussiness of a new business of housing the wounded. The wounded crawled out of their rooms and surrounded the carts with joyful pale faces. In the neighboring houses, there was also a rumor that there were carts, and the wounded from other houses began to come to the Rostovs' yard. Many of the wounded asked not to take off their things and only put them on top. But once the business of dumping things had begun, it could not stop. It was all the same whether to leave all or half. In the courtyard lay uncleared chests with dishes, bronze, paintings, mirrors, which they had so diligently packed last night, and they were looking for and finding an opportunity to fold this and that and give more and more carts.
- Four more can be taken, - said the manager, - I give my cart, but where are they?
“Give me back my dressing room,” said the countess. - Dunyasha will sit in the carriage with me.
They also gave a wardrobe cart and sent it for the wounded through two houses. All the household and servants were cheerfully animated. Natasha was in an ecstatic and happy revival, which she had not experienced for a long time.
- Where to tie it? - people said, adjusting the chest to the narrow heel of the carriage, - we must leave at least one cart.
- What is he with? Natasha asked.
- With the count's books.
- Leave. Vasilich will clean it up. It's not needed.
Everything in the chaise was full of people; doubted where Pyotr Ilyich would sit.
- He's on the goats. After all, you goats, Petya? - Natasha shouted.
Sonya was busy too; but the aim of her troubles was the opposite of Natasha's. She removed those things that should have remained; wrote them down, at the request of the countess, and tried to take with her as much as possible.

At two o'clock the four crews of the Rostovs were laid down and laid down at the entrance. Carts with the wounded, one after another, moved out of the yard.
The carriage in which Prince Andrei was driven, passing by the porch, attracted the attention of Sonya, who, together with the girl, arranged seats for the countess in her huge high carriage, which stood at the entrance.
- Whose stroller is this? - asked Sonya, leaning out the carriage window.
- Didn't you know, young lady? - answered the maid. - The prince is wounded: he spent the night with us and is also going with us.
- Who is it? What's the last name?
- Our very former groom, Prince Bolkonsky! - sighing, answered the maid. - They say at death.
Sonya jumped out of the carriage and ran to the countess. The Countess, already dressed for the road, in a shawl and a hat, tired, walked around the living room, waiting for her family, in order to sit with closed doors and pray before leaving. Natasha was not in the room.
“Maman,” said Sonya, “Prince Andrew is here, wounded, dying. He's coming with us.
The countess, frightened, opened her eyes and, seizing Sonya by the hand, looked around.
- Natasha? She said.
For both Sonya and the Countess, this news had only one meaning in the first minute. They knew their Natasha, and the horror of what would happen to her with this news drowned out for them all sympathy for the man whom they both loved.
- Natasha doesn't know yet; but he is coming with us, ”said Sonya.
- You say, dying?
Sonya nodded her head.
The Countess hugged Sonya and burst into tears.
"God works in mysterious ways!" - she thought, feeling that in everything that was being done now, the omnipotent hand, which had previously been hidden from the gaze of people, was beginning to appear.
- Well, mom, everything is ready. What are you talking about? .. - Natasha asked with a lively face, running into the room.
“Nothing,” said the Countess. - It's done, so let's go. - And the Countess bent down to her reticule to hide her upset face. Sonya hugged Natasha and kissed her.
Natasha glanced inquiringly at her.
- What you? What happened?
- There is nothing…
- Very bad for me? .. What is it? - Asked sensitive Natasha.
Sonya sighed and said nothing. Count, Petya, m me Schoss, Mavra Kuzminishna, Vasilich entered the living room, and, having closed the doors, all sat down and silently, without looking at each other, sat for a few seconds.
The count was the first to get up and, sighing loudly, began to cross himself into the icon. Everyone did the same. Then the count began to hug Mavra Kuzminishna and Vasilich, who remained in Moscow, and, while they were catching his hand and kissing him on the shoulder, he lightly patted them on the back, saying something vague, tenderly soothing. The Countess went into the figurative room, and Sonya found her there on her knees in front of the remaining images scattered along the wall. (The most expensive, according to family legends, images were carried with them.)
On the porch and in the courtyard, people leaving with daggers and sabers, which Petya had armed them with, with trousers tucked into their boots and tightly girded with belts and sashes, said goodbye to those who remained.
As always when leaving, much was forgotten and not so arranged, and for quite a long time two hangers stood on both sides of the open door and steps of the carriage, preparing to put the countess in, while the girls ran with pillows, bundles from the house to the carriages, and a stroller , and a chaise, and back.
- Everyone will reset their century! - said the countess. “After all, you know that I cannot sit like that. And Dunyasha, gritting her teeth and not answering, with an expression of reproach on her face, rushed into the carriage to remodel the seat.
- Oh, this people! - said the count, shaking his head.
The old coachman Yefim, with whom the Countess only dared to ride, sitting high on her box, did not even look back at what was happening behind him. With thirty years of experience, he knew that it would take a long time before he would be told "by God!" and that when they say, they will stop him two more times and send him for forgotten things, and after that they will stop him again, and the countess herself will lean out her window and ask him, by God, to drive more carefully on the slopes. He knew this and therefore more patiently than his horses (especially the left red-haired Falcon, who kicked and, chewing, fingered the bit) expected what would happen. Finally they all sat down; the steps gathered and threw themselves into the carriage, the door slammed shut, they sent for the box, the countess leaned out and said what should be. Then Yefim slowly took off his hat from his head and began to cross himself. The postman and all the people did the same.
- With God! - said Yefim, putting on his hat. - Pull it out! - The postilion touched. The right drawbar sank into the collar, high springs crackled, and the body swayed. The footman jumped on the box as he walked. The carriage shook at the exit from the yard onto the shaking pavement, the other carriages also shook, and the train moved up the street. In carriages, a carriage and a chaise, everyone was baptized in the church opposite. The people who remained in Moscow walked on both sides of the carriages, seeing them off.
Natasha rarely experienced such a joyful feeling as that which she now experienced, sitting in the carriage beside the Countess and looking at the walls of the abandoned, alarmed Moscow that slowly moved past her. She occasionally leaned out the carriage window and looked back and forth at the long train of wounded that preceded them. Almost in front of everyone she could see the closed top of Prince Andrey's carriage. She did not know who was in it, and every time, realizing the area of ​​her convoy, she looked for this carriage with her eyes. She knew that she was ahead of everyone.
In Kudrin, from Nikitskaya, from Presnya, from Podnovinsky, several trains similar to the Rostovs' train arrived, and carriages and carts were already traveling in two rows along Sadovaya.
Circling the Sukharev tower, Natasha, curiously and quickly examining the people, riding and walking, suddenly cried out with joy and surprise:
- Fathers! Mom, Sonya, look, this is it!
- Who? Who?
- Look, by God, Bezukhov! - Natasha said, leaning out of the carriage window and looking at a tall, fat man in a coachman's caftan, obviously a well-dressed gentleman in gait and posture, who, next to a yellow beardless old man in a frieze overcoat, approached under the arch of the Sukharev Tower.
- By God, Bezukhov, in a caftan, with some old boy! By God, - said Natasha, - look, look!
- No, it's not him. Is it possible, such nonsense.
“Mom,” Natasha shouted, “I’ll give you a head to cut off, that it’s him!” I assure you. Wait, wait! She shouted to the coachman; but the coachman could not stop, because more carts and carriages had left Meshchanskaya, and they shouted at the Rostovs to get under way and not detain others.
