Where the city practically “ends”, tourist routes and winter sports activities begin. Today we will talk about the village of Krasnaya Glinka.
This area got its name because of the layers of red clay that lay here. And its history began even before the revolution. After the Stolypin reform, long-term lease of land began here under summer cottages. By 1908, there were only three of them here, but gradually their number increased. A little later, these places were chosen by revolutionaries. For example, in 1916 the Samara City Conference of the RSDLP(b) was held here. For some time, these rallies on Krasnaya Glinka were reminded by the monument “In honor of the Samara Bolshevik Underground Workers,” opened in 1977 near the EMO houses. In the 90s, the monument was “dismantled” by non-ferrous metal lovers and now only the foundation reminds of it.
By 1925, the village of Krasnaya Glinka consisted of 200 households. And who knows how his life would have developed if not for the project to build the Kuibyshev hydroelectric power station in the Zhigulevsky Gate area.

The construction was supposed to be, without exaggeration, grandiose and, as was customary then, it was supposed to be served by the ITL (corrective labor camp), which was created in Samara in 1937 and was called SamLag. In terms of the number of contingents, it was among the leaders, occupying an honorable 8th place out of 42 camps in the NKVD system.
Samlagov residents began construction of the Bezymyanskaya Thermal Power Plant, built a cement and brick factories, and left a railway line connecting the village with Bezymyanka as a legacy to Krasnaya Glinka. But even more important was the construction here in 1938 of workshops for the repair of construction equipment of the Kuibyshev hydroelectric station. These were three wooden barracks, which housed a mechanical, foundry and forge shop. And it was with them that the history of that Red Glinka began, which we can see today. But first things first.
Electroshield plant, our days. Source - http://www.electroshield.ru/company/history-of-company/ In 1940, repair shops were transferred to the control of the NKVD Osobstroy. The idea of building a hydroelectric power station on this site was abandoned; all efforts were devoted to the construction of defense enterprises, primarily aircraft factories. SamLag was replaced by the even more densely populated Bezymyanlag, which was based mainly on Bezymyanka. But some of its “parts” surrounded Samara in a dense ring and were also present on Krasnaya Glinka. A disabled town and a central infirmary for prisoners were built here. Here, in the Oryol ravine, there was a particularly strict regime camp where re-convicts were kept, and the living conditions in which were especially difficult.
The captured Germans did not bypass Krasnaya Glinka either. Moreover, the first of them to arrive on Samara soil were planned to be placed here and their labor used to develop stone quarries. However, apparently considering that the prisoners of war could not withstand such hard work, and even in winter, it was decided to send most of them to Kryazh, for the construction of the oil refinery.
In July 1943, on the basis of the above-mentioned repair shops, which with the beginning of the war were repurposed for the defense industry, Plant No. 4 of the NKVD Logistics and Technical Supply Directorate was organized. By the end of the Great Patriotic War, it was already a full-fledged, dynamically developing machine-building plant, later named, in 1958, “Electroshield”. Residential areas began to be built around it. Since then, the village of Krasnaya Glinka began to take on its usual appearance.

Since then, this Krasnoglinsky center of culture has not gone out, and according to the aspirations of the still thriving Electroshield plant, it is in excellent condition and, what is important, is used for its intended purpose.
Next after the cultural cluster, the sports cluster was brought into proper shape. In the 1950s, the Energy Stadium was built. His condition at the moment can be considered quite satisfactory, especially against the backdrop of the numerous Samara sports arenas that have died.

This place attracts lovers alpine skiing and snowboarding, having almost no competitors in the vicinity of Samara. The recently opened one is also located on Krasnaya Glinka.
The 1950s also saw the appearance on Krasnaya Glinka of the most famous monument of those places - the sculptural composition “Happy Family”, located on Krasnoglinskoye Highway, right near the entrance to the village.

This is the famous “Refrigerator”, built to store an emergency supply of food in case of war. He himself and the system of Soka adits as a whole have haunted cryptohistorians and thrill-seekers for many years. The latter investigate them, sometimes with lethal results. According to rumors, the construction of this underground city began with the blessing and on the orders of Koba back in 1933, and the total length of the Sok adits is almost 45 kilometers.
But let’s return directly to the “Refrigerator”. Its construction began in 1958 and lasted for several years due to the technological complexity of the task.

Another “attraction” of Krasnaya Glinka can be recognized as the Pepsi-Cola plant, which settled on the Volga bank almost simultaneously with its sworn enemy Coca-Cola. Both “software” enterprises released their first products here in 1997, but Pepsi was still a couple of months earlier.
The village of Krasnaya Glinka itself has several appendages, such as the village of Yuzhny and the EMO Houses. The latter, by the way, has nothing to do with the “fangs” subculture - EMO stands for “electrical installation department.” This area itself consists of six two-story barracks, which were supposed to serve as temporary housing for workers in the very three workshops from which the Electroshield plant began. But there is nothing more permanent than temporary. The barracks still stand, and the area itself has the unofficial name “Limonia Country”. This seems to be due to the fact that the houses were originally painted bright yellow.
The main glory and fame of the residents of the city of Krasnaya Glinka to this day comes from its natural resources. Walk along Batayskaya Street, where right behind the nine-story buildings lies the “green sea of the taiga” and you can see Mount Tip-Tyav, so beloved by weekend tourists. A resident of Yungorodok, choking in smog, will, of course, envy such a favorable environmental situation. For which, however, you have to pay for the general distance from the city center and the absence of such signs of civilization as shopping centers, cinemas, etc.
I am writing from memory, so much remains unnoticed.
It was decided to make the first foray out of the house in early spring when the snow was still in the forest and the paths looked like a mess of earth, sand, and clay. Like a true Samaritan who has not seen beauty hometown, the direction of the route was towards the Zhiguli Mountains. The same mountains about which so many legends and tales are written. Before the trip, I re-read a lot of information, looked through many maps in search of the very place where it would be interesting. The result is of course not very good. There is clearly not enough knowledge. Just the desire to find, see, visit. Having read possible sources about the mining business, a list was compiled of what was necessary for a small, but still, journey. And even though only a camera and provisions were taken from the list, this almost interfered with our journey. On a sunny day, at about 10 o’clock, we started in the direction of red clay.
Our road ran through Krasnaya Glinka, past the ski resort with its cable car, to the electrical substation. There, leaving the car, we rushed up the road cut down under the power lines.
The path up the mountain is difficult. The road is rocky and no, no, but it disappears under your feet, beckoning you down.
The first bore of spring in stone captivity
Life rises with spring
There's a very tiny car in the distance
View from the mountain to a still winter landscape
An interesting rocky slope right next to the descent, along the ATV path.
Unfortunately, the instrument for a closer study was not taken and the trip was reduced to a search interesting places looking forward to future visits.
Next, our route ran through a beautiful place on the banks of the Volga with a view of the Zhiguli Mountains. As a novice prospector, I wanted to find traces of at least something on the rocky shore, but as I now understand, I broke my lip VERY EARLY. Without the slightest idea of where to look for something, how to look, or what something looks like in nature, it is almost impossible to find anything worthwhile. The beach turned out to be far from pebble, and I so hoped that it would turn out to be so, because I read a bunch of sources about the search. But there was a camera and here is a photo report of the visit to the banks of the Volga.
The view is breathtaking, although you can't tell from the photo. There is a lack of smells, strong winds, cool sun, the sound of the surf and a little fear of the power of the river, sharpening and grinding the hardest rocks into dust.
Interesting stone speckled with microorganisms and the riot of nature
Shore with smooth stone blocks
Local Tuzik happily greeting and accompanying us
On the other side of the road. Beautiful places for fishing and recreation, which the local citizens did not take advantage of, not afraid of the still cool air and the area slightly swampy from the melting snow.
I will undoubtedly return to these places. They are very attractive with their beauty.
We were greeted by an amazing hill with a Cross at the very top with the proud name “Tsarev Kurgan”
We drive past and turn right into the village. Then we wind our way and try to get closer to the water. Several streets lead to dead ends, but we stubbornly follow the intended route. I really wanted to explore the banks of local rivers in the hope of finding a pebble beach or rocky shores. But the melting of the snow did its job and hid even hints of what was sought.
The shoreline is in the water, only reeds and snow. Well, if the opportunity arises, we will come again when the water subsides. I was interested in the coniferous forest that can be seen in the distance in the photo. Hilly and mountainous terrain and forest. There must be streams. And where there are streams there is search without digging mines and pickaxes. But we’ll return to the forest later, when the warm weather settles and the soil warms up. And standing at this place, another stopping point ripened; it was worth turning to the water and looking into the distance, where at the foot of those mountains that we climbed at the very beginning, there was a quarry for the extraction of construction minerals.
It was decided to visit it on the way back, especially since the weather was pushing us with its winds and coolness. After walking along the embankment for another 500 meters, we returned to the car and set off on the way back.
An incomprehensible structure of unknown purpose. It looks very old and half destroyed. Although it may be a wrong assumption.
Well, the rock masses coming to the surface, unfortunately hidden behind the trees. If the opportunity arises, we will definitely come here again, but with a tool for a more detailed study of the breed.
With this, our journey has come to an end. First day, first outing and first impressions. It was decided to continue a new hobby, which gradually began to develop into something more than just a hobby. Forward to the unknown!
