A very long time ago, in 1869, the English metallurgist John Hughes began the construction of a metallurgical plant with a workers' settlement. This village began to be called in honor of the founder of the plant Yuzovka or Yuzovo. The plant developed, new workers came, the village grew. In 1917, the village received the status of a city. Since 1924, the city has been given a new name - Stalino. The city bears its name until 1961. And in 1961 the city was renamed Donetsk.

Guys, who started the construction of a metallurgical plant with a workers' settlement? (English metallurgist John Hughes) is correct, and today we will talk about the famous and prominent people of Donetsk and Donbass in general. First, let's get acquainted with John Hughes himself. John Hughes (18141889) John Hughes is the most famous person of the city, its founder. Of course, outside the region, few have heard of the industrialist, engineer, metallurgist, and the very first and main resident of Donetsk, John Yuze. But in the Donbass, this person is known to everyone since school. After all, the main development, our region received thanks to him, when in 1869, heading the joint-stock "Novorossiysk Society", he and his sons came to the Donetsk steppes. John Hughes founded a metallurgical plant and a working settlement on the banks of the Kalmius River, later called Yuzovka. Years later, the village turned into a beautiful city of Donetsk, which became one of the largest industrial centers. In Donetsk, the ruins of Yuz's house have been preserved and a monument to the famous father of the founder has been erected. Georgy Sedov (1877-1914) Georgy Yakovlevich Sedov was born into the family of an Azov fisherman from Krivoy Spit (now the village of Sedovo in the Novoazovsky district). The family had nine children. My father went to work and disappeared for years. From the age of seven, Yerka had to fish, go to day labor in the field. Until the age of fourteen, he was illiterate, and then, when his father returned, he finished a three-year parochial school in two years and ... ran away from home. At twenty-one, Sedov received a diploma as a sea navigator, at twenty-four he passed the exam externally and was promoted to lieutenant in the Admiralty, sent to the hydrographic expedition of the Arctic Ocean. From that moment began his work as a Russian hydrographer and polar explorer. Georgy Sedov participated in expeditions to study the island of Vaigach, the mouth of the Kara River, Novaya Zemlya, the Kara Sea, the Caspian Sea, the mouth of the Kolyma River and sea approaches to it, Krestovaya Bay.

These paintings played a colossal role in the development of landscape painting, and not only landscape painting. For Russian painting, it was necessary for the appearance of an artist of his own, who would understand the relationships of colors so clearly, so accurately penetrate into their shades, so ardently and

I would passionately wish to convey them, that other Russian artists would believe him, would cease to treat the palette as some kind of appendage. Kuindzhi showed people again what they had forgotten since the time of the ancient Russian masters Kuindzhi showed people color and paint. Loud fame and oblivion, wide popularity and misunderstanding fell to Arkhip Kuindzhi, but he always remained a modest and very kind person.

Motivation of educational activity of students

teacher's word

Today in our lesson we will talk about the most famous people of Donbass who touched him and his energy.

There is something like that in the Donbass people

(I'm willing to bet whoever you want to fight)

What would do anyone honor

Judge him to be born in such a land.

No, I don't mind any other lands

Not for others - I'm not talking about that at all.

I know the land where the trout is at the feet

Dancing in a transparent stream until dawn;

Where are the sunny bunch of grapes

He seduces with his heavenly nectar,

And motley beaches, a maddened guest

By the waves of the sea wanders absently.

Praise to them all - oases of the soul,

Rest, laziness, peace,

Where spirit and body are awake in silence

To the whisper of palm trees and the music of the surf!

My land is rich in other sounds,

And he has a different purpose:

His deep fiery agate

It thunders with a special coal surf.

It is not rest that attracts us to it, but work,

The element of the age-old duel.

Bunch of anthracite. Hundreds of suns live

In her one compressed speck of dust.

Singing layer under the burden of the earth

At my feet shimmers like diamonds.

Trout here what could

Compare with him?! I don't know, I don't know.

Here along the living but stone river

The owner is coming, not a random guest.

With the movement of a firm, experienced hand

He reveals the secrets of the dungeons.

When, having risen to the mountain, he looks

On the ground he is not generous with paints,

You won't find a more beautiful face

And kindness, and simplicity of the Donbass.

In the Donbass, there really is such a thing,

That once and for all will punish everyone, -

A special breed, if you consider

The people who raise the earth to the sun.

This is how the Donetsk poet Anatoly Ivanovich Kravchenko wrote about his fellow countrymen and his native Donbass.

Is it possible to be born an outstanding person?

Nonna Mordyukova

"A Cossack girl comes from Donbass" (1925-2008, the village of Konstantinovka)
The first beauty of the Soviet screen often called herself a Kuban Cossack. In fact, the actress was not born in the Kuban, but in the village of Konstantinovka, Donetsk region. A few years later, Nonna's family moved to Krasnodar region. In the village of Glafirovka, Nonna's mother served as chairman of the collective farm. Nonna Mordyukova's childhood dream was to act in films. But before it comes true, Nonna's family will survive the war. The Mordyukovs learned from their own experience what occupation is, constant moving from one city to another ... When peacetime came, Nonna Mordyukova began to realize her childhood dream. Glory came to her while studying at VGIK. She was taken on the role of Ulyana Gromova in the film "Young Guard". After this tape, the actress not only woke up famous, she was awarded the Stalin Prize for her role. At VGIK, the actress not only learned the basics of her profession. While studying at the university, she met her future husband Vyacheslav Tikhonov.

Anatoly Solovyanenko

"Golden-voiced university teacher" (1932-1999, Donetsk)
The future opera singer graduated from the Donetsk Polytechnic Institute, then worked there as a teacher at the Department of Engineering Graphics. Maybe the world would not have heard the magnificent voice of Anatoly Solovyanenko if the young man had not started taking vocal lessons from the famous teacher Alexander Korobeichenko. In 1962, Solovyanenko, as part of the Donetsk delegation, went to Kyiv for a creative report. His performance made such a splash that, after listening to Solovyanenko, they were accepted into the troupe of the Kyiv Opera House. It was an unprecedented case, because at that time the golden-voiced Donetsk resident had no musical education. For two years, Solovyanenko underwent an internship at La Scala. He was invited to perform on the world's best stages. In Donetsk, the Opera and Ballet Theater is named after him. Near the theater building there is a monument to Anatoly Solovyanenko, who was nicknamed the “Golden Boy” by the Donetsk people.

Arkhip Kuindzhi

"The Alchemist of Color" (1842-1910, Mariupol)

Arkhip Kuindzhi was born into the family of a poor Greek shoemaker. The surname, which means “goldsmith” in Tatar, is an inheritance from his grandfather. Having lost his parents early, Arkhip earned his own bread: shepherded geese, served with a contractor for the construction of a church, then with a grain merchant, and then attended the city school for some time. From early childhood, Kuindzhi loved to draw. His first paintings were painted on walls, fences and scraps of paper. Growing up, he worked as a retoucher for photographers in Mariupol, Odessa and St. Petersburg. Arkhip Kuindzhi's dream was to enter the Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, but he was flunked several times in exams. It is unlikely that Kuindzhi would have believed then that he would become a professor at this academy. Kuindzhi became a real alchemist of color. He perfectly mastered the technique of color, color and halftones. In a number of his paintings, the colors have a special glow and do not fade to this day. The secret of the great landscape painter has not yet been unraveled. Tretyakov himself bought his paintings, and his colleague Ilya Repin admired Kuindzhi's talent: "The illusion of light was his god, and there was no artist equal to him in achieving this miracle of painting."

Joseph Kobzon

In Donetsk in 2003 a monument to Joseph Kobzon was erected. By the way, initially the singer was against this idea. He laid out his fate from the songs that became fateful for the great country of the USSR. It was he who sang the legendary "Victory Day", "Do not think about seconds down." He forever took the place of the patriarch of the Soviet stage. Any concert ended with Kobzon. He went on stage, stood in a "signature" pose and sang. His authority on the musical, and not only the musical Olympus, is still out of reach. The willpower of this man is amazing. Overcoming a fatal illness, he already once went on stage. And the scene healed him. A few years ago, during his tour, he gave an amazing concert in Donetsk. It turned out that all generations know these songs. The audience stood up and sang along with Yesya. And "Smuglyanka", and "Hava Nagila", and "My dear mother". A real son of Donbass - without nationality, with love for the Motherland.
