Askiz's story
The village of Askiz was founded in the 18th century. At first, the lands on which Askiz is located were owned by the Sagai princes. One of them, named Amzor Nair, was baptized and converted to Orthodoxy. The church authorities gave him permission to set up a church parish in Askiz. Thus …
The climate in Askiz, as in the whole of Khakassia, has a sharp continental character. Due to the lack of large bodies of water to mitigate the effect of low temperatures, winters in Askiz are cold and windy. There are also strong temperature fluctuations in both winter and summer: the difference between day and night temperatures can be up to 10-15 degrees. The geographic relief in Askiz and in the adjacent territories is complex: mountainous terrain alternates with plains, average daily temperatures fluctuate seasonally. The amount of average monthly precipitation is also unevenly distributed.
In the winter months in the mountains, the average daily temperature ranges from -14 ° C to -16 ° C, in the steppe it is lower - from -18 ° C to -20 ° C. The feeling of cold is created by constantly blowing sharp and gusty winds. In the summer months it is cooler in the mountains due to the altitude, the temperature does not rise above + 17 ° C even on a sunny day, in the steppes it is much hotter - from + 20 ° C to 25 ° C.

In Askiz, in addition to cultural and historical tourism, active tourism is also developing. Hiking and horse trails are laid in the mountainous regions and on the plains, tours for sports and trophy hunting, fishing are organized, river rafting and speleology are popular. Novice speleologists can look into the Sakhsar and Palykhsin caves, explore the Chite-Khys mountains, which are located in the geological fault zone.
Lake Olenye, or in Khakassian, Lake Balankul is a very famous place. The lake itself is very picturesque; it is surrounded by mounds, mountains and taiga forests. The lake and the tourist base located on its shores are the starting point for interesting routes in the surrounding area. Most travelers in the warm season prefer to explore the lake and steppes on horseback. The taiga forests stretching beyond the lake are the subject of interest for hunters, and the lake's waters are rich in fish, which attracts fishing enthusiasts.
Another lake in the Askiz region is Lake Khankul, seven hundred meters long and four meters deep. There are no recreation centers, but the lake is considered a wonderful place for outdoor recreation.
Some consider Lake Khankul a resort, the water in it is clear and clean and tastes a little salty. The lake is surrounded by a steppe, where daisies bloom in summer. In winter, the Askiz district offers its guests exciting snowmobile trips across the endless snow-covered steppe expanses, dog sled races and cross-country skiing.
Askiz is a fairly large settlement, local small buses and numerous minibuses run around the city, travel in them is relatively cheap. There are also several taxi services, mostly private, and for a certain amount the tourist will be taken to the desired destination. Those local residents who do not have personal vehicles willingly use their services themselves.
Travelers who like long walks can move around the city and on foot. A car is required for sightseeing outside the city. Organized groups usually use tourist buses, but independent tourists without their own car will have to rent a taxi for the whole day or just negotiate with private drivers.
The river - winding Askiz, -
Your stream is eternal and mighty.
He, like the soul of the people, is pure
And, like a native chatkhan, melodious. (Ivan Kostyakov. Translated by I. Kichakov)

Of all the regions of the modern Republic of Khakassia, the Askiz region is considered the most Khakass in terms of population composition. At the same time, the "capital" of the historical Sagai steppe - the village of Askiz - was initially viewed as a center for the spread of Russian culture among the "Minusinsk Tatars" through their introduction to Orthodoxy and teaching Russian literacy. Largely due to this, it was the Sagai steppe that gave the Khakass people its outstanding enlighteners: an expert in oriental languages, professor of Kazan University N.F. Katanov and ethnographer and public figure S.D. Mainagashev, later professor at Moscow University L.R. Kyzlasov.
Askiz is one of the oldest settlements in Khakassia. At first, these lands belonged to the Khakass tribe of Koibals. The village was formed in 1770-1771 in connection with the construction of a wooden church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul at the mouth of the Askiz River. The founding of the village is associated with the name of the Sagai prince Amzor Nair, the son of Chadan Nair Gulbezhekov, one of the first bashlyks who accepted Russian citizenship.
Already in 1771, with the blessing of Varlam, Bishop of Tobolsk and Siberia, "by the diligence of the Tomsk spiritual concistory and parishioners of the diverse tribes of Koibals, Sagays and Mrasts" a church was built in the name of the apostles Peter and Paul.

The scientist P.S. Pallas, who visited Khakassia in 1772, wrote that Askiz consisted of several yurts, a small church, houses of a priest and prince Amzor. In the Askiz parish in 1769-1770 there were 70 yurts with a population of 277 people. In the years 1795-17961 there were 96 yards, in which only 413 people lived.
In 1823, the Sagai Steppe Duma was organized, the seat of which became Askiz from 1853. The Duma was subordinate to ten clans of the Turkic tribe: Sagai, Beltyrsky, Kazanovsky, Kyzyl, Kyi, Near and Dalnikarginsky, Kiwinsky, Karachersky, Izushersky. In 1859, there were 11,720 souls of both sexes in the Duma, and in Askiz itself there were 40 households with a population of 221 people. The village had a ferry across the Abakan River.
In 1831 a church in Askiz burned down, but the utensils were saved. A stone church was built to replace the burnt church in 1851, in which Ioann Tokarev became a priest, and from 1866 - a graduate of the Tomsk Theological Seminary Nikolai Orfeyev.
The local population, the Sagays, were engaged in horse breeding, sheep breeding, cattle breeding, hunted and hunted for gold. In the 19th century, the village became a base for active prospecting for gold deposits and the residence of a large Krasnoyarsk gold miner P.I. Kuznetsova.
In 1869 a one-class school was opened in Askiz, the first teacher of which was E.S. Katanov. Krasnoyarsk gold miner P.I. Kuznetsov gave one of his houses to the school. In 1887, the Askiz one-class school was reorganized into a two-class school with a five-year study. The son of a gold miner living here - I.P. Kuznetsov - there was a significant library at that time, which was also used by local residents who knew the letter.
At his invitation, a young artist Vasily Surikov, the son of a Krasnoyarsk merchant, comes to visit the Sagai steppe. Here he makes sketches and sketches, which later served as material for the creation of the epic canvas "The Conquest of Siberia by Yermak".
In 1876, Bishop Anthony of Yenisei and Krasnoyarsk turned to the Minusinsk police chief and ancestor of the Askiz Steppe Duma A.M. Kyzlasov with a request to make the necessary preparations for the mass baptism in Askiz. Teacher E.S. Katanov had traveled around all the villages the day before, urging people to arrive in Askiz in time. The ceremony took place on July 15, 1876, 3003 people were baptized. For active participation in the organization of mass baptism E.S. Katanov was awarded a silver medal "For diligence" and the Order of St. Anna, III degree.
The founder of A.M. Kyzlasov and the headman of the Beltyr family I.A. Asochakov was presented with honorary caftans with gold embroidery.
The baptism of the Minusinsk Tatars in the Askiz River, when a lot of people, along with crosses, received the same names Vladimir or Maria according to the calendar, then both opponents and adherents of Orthodoxy were condemned. However, since then, the Khakases have been universally considered Christians. In the past, baptized Tatar women wore crosses over their dresses as one of their many adornments.
A few years later, the priest of the Askiz Church spoke of his flock in the Diocesan Gazette as follows: “They are still, neither in their outward way of life nor in spirit, are more pagans than Christians. There are still many such foreigners who have never attended church services in their lives. "
In November 1905, the first congress of foreigners (Minusinsk Tatars) was held in Askiz, who, for the first time in the history of the Russian state, faced the question of self-government. The Khakass managed to partially solve it only after the February revolution of 1917.
Under the tsarist administration, the Orthodox priest exerted a significant influence on local life. From 1904 to 1913, Vladimir Ivanovich Kuzmin (1876-?) Was the rector of the Askiz temple - a very outstanding personality of his time. He was sent here after graduating from the Krasnoyarsk Theological Seminary. According to the current situation, a priest appointed to a foreign parish was obliged to serve in it for at least ten years, to study the local dialect (in this case, the Sagai dialect) and shamanistic beliefs in order to successfully combat malicious delusions.
For help in studying the Khakass language Kuzmin turned to Professor N.F. Katanov, who sent him a number of his works. Kuzmin wrote later: "I am grateful to Katanov for providing me with an academic transcription of the Tatar language, thanks to which I was able to make the correct record of Tatar words."
As a missionary who speaks the Khakass language, Father Vladimir is becoming a prominent figure in the Yenisei diocese. In 1908, he was elected chairman of the next missionary congress of the diocese, where, characterizing the problems of the Abakan mission, he criticized the mass baptism on July 15, 1876 in Askiz. “The picture is magnificent,” he stressed. - After all, such an event should call itself the transformation of an entire people. They put on crosses, but they let go to live in the old way, the bodies were washed in the river, but the souls were not enlightened with true faith ... "
In 1911, Archbishop Macarius of Tomsk and Altai arrived to consecrate a church in the taiga village of Matur. The Maturian parish was part of the Altai spiritual mission, but the way to it lay through Askiz of the Yenisei diocese. At the consecration of the new church, the divine service was conducted by the Matura priest in the Shor dialect, by Archbishop Makarii in the Altai, and the Askiz priest in the Sagai dialect.
In 1913, the Yenisei diocese formed the Minusinsky Deanery from the missionary parishes of the southern part of the Yenisei province. The deanery was headed by V.I. Kuzmin, who received the rank of archpriest (senior priest) and became rector of the Savior Cathedral in Minusinsk.
Being engaged in missionary affairs, V.I. Kuzmin became actively involved in social and political life, became a member of the Minusinsk City Duma, a vowel of the county government, led the Minusinsk group of the People's Socialist Party, which stood out from the right wing of the Social Revolutionaries. He was also the editor-publisher of the Trud newspaper published by this group (after February 1917 - Svoboda i Trud). In this newspaper, the archpriest published his "Appeal to the Orthodox", in which he urged believers "to accept the overthrow of the tsarist autocracy with sympathy, joy and exultation."
At the congress of the Khakass people held in July 1917, V.I. Kuzmin became a member of the formed National Committee, which assumed the creation of the Khakass autonomy. He took an active part in the subsequent congresses of the Khakass.
In November 1918, the diocese transferred V.I. Kuzmin to Krasnoyarsk as an archpriest in the Cathedral of the Mother of God-Nativity Cathedral. And here an active priest took part in public life, edited the newspaper "Common Deal".
During the Civil War Kuzmin returned to Minusinsk. After some deliberation, he renounced his dignity, went to Krasnoyarsk, where already under Soviet rule he became the editor of the Krasnoyarsk Rabochy newspaper. As a connoisseur of the Khakass language, Kuzmin takes part in the discussion of options for creating the Khakass writing system, suggesting that the first version of the ethnographer S.D. Mainogashev. Subsequently V.I. Kuzmin leaves Siberia and becomes one of the editors of the Moskovskaya Pravda newspaper ...
When village Soviets were created in Minusinsk district after the revolution, the Bolsheviks created such a body in Askiz.
The Askiz village council included 15 settlements (1871 people). In 1924, the Askiz district was created from two volosts - Askiz and Ust-Yesinskaya. Then it consisted of 106 settlements, where 20,180 people lived, mainly the indigenous population. Almost 8 thousand people lived in the administrative center of the district - Askize.
On January 15, 1925, in the village of Askiz, a partnership "Khaka" was organized, which built dams, mills, sawmills. Thanks to this partnership, the power plant was started up. By the winter of 1925, a bridge over the Askiz River, a mill with a feeding channel, had been built.
In the 1930s, the stone church in Askiz was destroyed and a club was erected in its place.
Since the 1950s, the Askiz timber industry enterprise, the Tyoy iron mine, the Askiz timber transshipment plant have been operating in the Askiz district.

Currently, 43 thousand people live in the Askiz region. The region includes 12 territorial departments, 57 settlements.
In the 1990s, an Orthodox community reappeared in Askiz, which temporarily uses the premises of a pharmacy for worship. Plans to build a new temple have been postponed until better times.
Surrounding Askiz, the Sagai Grave Steppe is a huge burial ground of the early Scythian time, stretching for more than 30 kilometers along the Abakan river valley. It stretches almost to the administrative center of the neighboring district - the village of Tashtyp. Numerous burial mounds with high stone fences rise along the bank of the Abakan.
Not far from the Askiz railway station, there is a field where one of the main Khakass national holidays, Tun-Payram (the holiday of the first milk), is held. Here, nature itself has created a magnificent stadium for this: a large flat area, sufficient to arrange horse races, as well as other competitions and entertainment. Nearby is the slope of the mountain, which rises like an amphitheater, on which numerous spectators sit.
