Monument to the Batashev brothers in Vyksa
Genus history
The founder of this dynasty is considered to be the Tula Armory Sloboda merchant and industrialist Ivan Timofeevich Batashev (d. 1734), the organizer of factories in Tula, Lipetsk and Olonets. In Tula, not far from the plant, there was the Batashevs' estate (it has not survived to this day). Not far from the estate, on the banks of the Tulitsa River, a two-part garden was laid out, the remains of which are currently known as the Batashev Garden.
The business in Tula was continued by his sons Alexander (d. 1740) and Rodion (d. 1754) - industrialists from the Tula iron factories, and then by his grandson, Andrei (Rodionovich).
The Batashev brothers and their descendants are known for their factories in Vyksa, Syntul and Gus-Zhelezny, Unzhensky (in the village of Yermolovo) and others. The Batashev brothers: Andrei (1724 - December 19, 1799) and Ivan (August 15, 1732 - January 28, 1821) Rodionovichi - the largest steel manufacturers, founders and owners of a dozen and a half factories. They were famous for their cast iron, were suppliers of weapons to the Admiralty College. At the beginning of 1783 they received the nobility, at the end of the same year they carried out the division of their property.
Many legends are associated with the name of the Batashev brothers (more about Andrei Rodionovich, his stern disposition), both in Vyksa and in Gus-Zhelezny, for example, the legend of an underground passage, counterfeiting.
Andrei Rodionovich was an Old Believer. Melnikov-Pechersky in his novel "In the Forests" described, among other things, the Batashev brothers. The heroes of the novel "The Monomakhs of Vladimir" by Count Salias are also written off from the brothers.
In Vyksa, the Batashevs built, in addition to the factory, a large well-known estate, a Christmas church and a dam (recognized as architectural monuments of federal significance).
In Gus-Zhelezny, the manor with a park and a greenhouse, which have not survived to this day, and the Trinity Church in the Gothic style, amazed with their luxury. It was rumored that Andrei Rodionovich was a Freemason.
Batashev's manor house on Yauzskaya Street, in Moscow, is a vivid monument of Moscow architecture of the classicism era, since 1878 - the Yauzskaya hospital, now the Moscow city hospital No. 23 is here.
In 1812, this house was chosen by Joachim Murat for his headquarters, but after staying there for one day, the marshal left for a different address. After the French left Moscow, the house-palace on Vshivaya Gorka was refinished with the appropriate luxury - more than 300 thousand rubles were spent (sculptor - Ivan Vitali). At the time of the coronation of Nicholas I, the palace was hired for 65 thousand rubles for the Duke of Devonshire, the English ambassador.
On January 18, 1783, Catherine II signed a Decree on the restoration of the brothers Andrei and Ivan Batashev in the nobility (The fifth part of the noble book, then - later - the Sixth part of the noble book of the Nizhny Novgorod province) unicorn) was depicted on the watermarks of paper, which was produced at their factory in the village of Kopnino, Moscow district.
In 2001, a monument to the Batashev brothers was erected in Vyksa (sculptor - Vyacheslav Klykov).
