The city of Ridder is located in the north-east of Kazakhstan, has geographic coordinates of 50 degrees north latitude and 83 degrees east longitude, the height above sea level is 811 m.
In the Leninogorsk depression, a landscape of a mountain forest-steppe type is developed: dark coniferous taiga, mixed forests, shrubs and high forbs. A significant area is occupied by a pine forest located in the vicinity of Ridder. Widespread use of land for economic purposes is difficult due to the mountainous terrain. The region has a well-developed network of rivers, many small streams and streams. All rivers are mountainous, with rapid currents and rocky channels. The source of water supply for the city of Ridder is the Maloulbinskoye reservoir, located in a mountain basin. The mirror area is 3.7 km 2, the volume is 84 million m 3. On the territory of the region, cold radon waters have been identified that can be used for medicinal purposes.
The climate is sharply continental, the characteristic features are long cold winters, moderately cool summers, large annual and daily fluctuations in air temperature.
The city of Ridder is part of the Ust-Kamenogorsk agglomeration, has promising deposits of polymetallic ores, is provided with water and forest resources, resources for the production of building materials.
Polymetallic deposits are characterized by the predominance of lead-zinc ores containing gold, silver, cadmium, antimony, arsenic, tin, iron, sulfur and other elements. Deposits of building materials are represented by brick raw materials, sand and gravel mixtures and sands.
Story
The city of Ridder was founded in 1786 as the village of Ridder and named after the mining engineer Philip Ridder, the discoverer of ore deposits. The history of the city of Ridder is connected with the exploitation of deposits of polymetallic ores discovered at the end of the 17th century.
Before the establishment of Soviet power, the Ridder deposits belonged to the English businessman Urquhart, who quickly organized production, built a small power plant, a processing plant and laid a railway to Ust-Kamenogorsk. In May 1918, a decree was signed on the nationalization of Ridder's enterprises and their transfer to Soviet power. Already in the 1920s, regular exploitation of the Ridderskoye and other deposits began. In 1923, an experimental electrolytic plant began to produce zinc. During the first five-year plans, Ridder became one of the main suppliers of non-ferrous metals in the country. After the Great Patriotic War, mass construction of housing, cultural and community services, street and road networks and other engineering networks and communications began .
At present, the city of Ridder is an industrial region of the East Kazakhstan region. The basis of the region's economy is the mining industry, metallurgical and machine-building industries. In the long term, the city has a high economic development potential.

Anyone who has never been to the wonderful city of Ridder, which is located in Kazakhstan, must certainly go there. There will be more than enough impressions, and no one will have to regret their arrival there. The city owes its appearance to the decree of Empress Catherine II, according to which an expedition was sent to these places in search of gold and silver. One of them was headed by engineer Filipp Filippovich Ridder, after whom the city was subsequently named. And it happened back in 1786.
Arriving there, the city will appear before you in all its glory. There is something to see and admire. It is difficult to tell about everything within the framework of one article, but I would like to pay special attention to certain sights.
As befits all large squares, its location is the city center. Previously, it bore the name of Lenin, but at one time it was renamed and became known as Republic Square. After the dismantling of the monument to the great leader of the revolution, a memorial plaque appeared on it with the name of the founder of the city. Recently, the area has received its reconstruction, as a result of which, instead of asphalt, everything was paved with paving slabs with bizarre patterns.
The city is changing before our eyes. It has many young trees. You can walk along the quiet alleys, admiring the incredible beauty of the Altai Mountains.
It is separated from the city by only some 10 kilometers. The water in it is incredibly icy and brings saving freshness in the summer heat. It flows through the eastern territory of Kazakhstan, including the Gromotushinsky Gorge. In the spring, during the melting of snow, she is able to demonstrate her harsh temper. On the bank of the river in a picturesque pine forest there is a recreation center with the same name. The economy of the base consists of fourteen cozy houses made of wood.
The purest air, the environment of centuries-old trees make the rest in these places simply unforgettable. A friendly company of vacationers in the bosom of picturesque landscapes will allow you to recharge any vacationer with vivacity for a long time. At the service of tourists, a Russian bath is always open with healing steam, dispersed through the steam room with a birch broom. And how nice it will be after the bath to drink aromatic tea from local herbs.
The location of the palace is Semyonova street. A very beautiful building. It was built according to the plan of the architect Ivanchuk, who, in addition, took part in the decorative design of the interior. Significant musical events of the city are held in the premises of its concert hall. The exhibition hall displays paintings by famous artists. At one time, participants in the Ring of Eurasia forum gathered within the walls of this palace. The honor of opening the forum was given to the President of Kazakhstan.
The style in which the palace is made is the Stalinist Empire style. The facade of the building is decorated with columns.
Location: Semenova street - 12.
It is the longest street in the city. Its beginning is the railway. Its end is the microdistrict "Geologist". It is a major highway with two lanes on each side. There are a lot of infrastructure facilities on this street. If you go to the beginning of the street, you can get to the library. Gogol. From this street you have an excellent view of the mountain range.
Its location is Gorky Street. This is a major health center in the city. The building is 5 floors with two pools. In addition to the main building, there are two medical buildings and a dining room on the territory. The health resort is located in the center of a green area. Its construction was carried out in the second half of the last century with money allocated by mining enterprises. The building is intended for recreation and provision of qualified assistance to miners and miners. And now not only them.
Location: street.
Its beginning is Republic Square, and its end is Gagarin Street. Many residents of the city like to relax on it. Its length is 150 meters. In spring, the alley literally smells of blooming lilacs. It is everywhere decorated with original flower beds. It was organized in memory of veterans of the Great Patriotic War. Through the efforts of grateful descendants, the names of veterans were immortalized on this alley.
Its location is the foothills of Altai. The place is distinguished by beautiful panoramic opportunities. Administratively, it is a village, but is part of the city. This dual position is connected with its historical roots. At the very beginning, the city was formed from separate settlements that arose on the site of ore deposits. At one fine moment, one of these villages became part of the city of Ridder. There are many cultivated fields around the neighborhood. With a thematic bias are the names of the streets of the microdistrict.
This article lists only a part of the places of the beautiful city of Ridder. Once in the city, you can also visit the local history museum, many beautiful and old temples and mosques, and in a short distance there are several natural caves and lakes. Arriving in this city, no one will be bored. There are many interesting places here that visitors will remember for a long time.
Among the steppes and sands is the city of Ridder, Kazakhstan. Despite its modest tourist popularity, it is nevertheless the country's oldest cultural and industrial city. Our article will tell about this city.
general information
Ridder is the third largest city in eastern Kazakhstan after Ust-Kamenogorsk and Semey. The last census showed that about 50 thousand people of various nationalities live in it. Founded in 1934, Ridder was a city where exiles from the central regions of Russia went. That is why the lion's share of the population, about 80%, are Russians.
The city of Ridder has the status of an industrial one. In its bowels lies a huge supply of gold, arsenic, silver, tin, iron and sulfur. Related elements are also being mined.
The climate is sharply continental. Under these conditions, significant temperature fluctuations occur. In summer, the maximum figure is fixed at around +37 degrees Celsius. In winter, the most severe frost was -47 degrees on the same scale.
natural landscape
The natural landscape of the Kazakh city of Ridder is difficult for full-scale economic activity. The region has a large number of different rivers, lakes and streams. All rivers originate in the mountains, so they have a rapid, fast flow. The water is muddy, carries a large amount of sand, stones and mountain debris, so independent river crossings are prohibited.
Due to the wooded area, agriculture is difficult. The mountains of the city of Ridder can be seen from the window of every house.
Recent studies of the landscape and soil have shown the presence of radon waters in large quantities, which can be used as an adjuvant treatment.
City `s history
The history of the city of Ridder is rich in events, despite the fact that the city itself is small and provincial. Its history begins in 1786. It was in this year that the royal decree was issued on the need to search for new deposits of metal-bearing ores.
Several detachments were sent to search and explore new lands. One of them was headed by officer Philip Ridder, the grandson of a Swedish military doctor and the son of a manufacturer. He managed to discover the field, which is the largest to this day. Ores containing gold, silver, sulfur, and iron were found. In the same year, residential and technical premises were quickly built and the development of the deposit began. The mines were named "Ridder Mine". Photos of the city of Ridder of that time, unfortunately, almost did not survive.
The uniqueness of the deposit has been confirmed by numerous commissions. The fame of the mines spread far beyond the borders of the country. In 1850, samples of the ore were presented at the World Exhibition in London. And in 1879, the ores were included in the collection of the museum of the Stockholm Royal Technical Institute.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the city changed its name for several decades. From the settlement of Ridder, it became a village, and then the settlement of Ridder. In January 1932 the city became Ridder again. By the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, it was renamed Leninogorsk.
High mountains of Altai
The Kazakh city of Ridder grew up in a mountainous area. These are the historical mountains of Rudny Altai. Despite the fact that when we talk about Altai, we mainly mean the Russian city of Barnaul, Ridder fits into the overall picture as well as possible. The name "Rudny Altai" was once proposed by the archaeologist V.K. Kotulsky.
The highest points of Gorny Altai are located at a maximum height of 2,000 meters. To the west, the height gradually decreases and turns into low mountains. The main minerals of Altai are halinite, pyrite, gold, silver, iron and sulfur. Copper-lead-zinc ores predominate, the main production of which is carried out in the mines of the city of Ridder in Kazakhstan. Processing and processing plants are also located there. This reduces the cost of transporting and completing freight trains.
The first expeditions in search of ores began in the 17th century, and Akinfiy Demidov, the great-grandfather of the famous Demidov brothers, who was popularly called the "iron king" of the Urals, was lucky to discover minerals. Thanks to the availability of all the necessary tools, the development of the ore began in a few days. In addition, local residents, who were known as craftsmen in ore and blacksmithing, were a valuable resource. Demidov did not like foreigners. The minting of state coins of Catherine the Great was also carried out right there, since the mint was not far from the production, and a ready-made minted coin was delivered to the treasury. With the death of Demidov, the process temporarily stopped, but quickly found a new owner in the face of the state.
Industrial activity and economy
Many ordinary citizens have no idea where the city of Ridder is located in Kazakhstan. However, people associated with industrial production know its location very well. A wide wave of industrial construction swept over Leninogorsk during the years of Soviet power. Here was built the first non-ferrous metallurgy plant in Kazakhstan - lead. At the same time, a zinc plant was being built. Along with the main construction, residential areas were erected, mines and mines were developed. It is worth mentioning the only hydroelectric power station in Kazakhstan. At that time, it was only the second in the Soviet Union.
The economy of the region is closely connected with the development of ore deposits. Kazakhstan is a state with the richest deposits of natural resources, and the industrial development of the region and the country as a whole is of global importance.
About 15 enterprises are represented in the region, whose work is related to non-ferrous and ferrous metallurgy. Plants of instrument making, mechanical engineering, heat and electric power, as well as subsidiary enterprises providing services in the service sector.
Enterprises of the region
The infrastructure of eastern Kazakhstan is made up of large-scale industrial enterprises. Firstly, Kazzinc LLP. It is the country's largest natural resource user. It manages six city-forming industrial complexes: the Ridder concentrating complex, a zinc plant, two mines and two concentrating factories. The main production activity is the production of products from copper, lead, zinc and their alloys.
Secondly, Ridder is a manufacturer of food products such as sausages, bread and baked goods, as well as beer.
Transport device of the city
Despite the provincial location of the city of Ridder in Kazakhstan, it has close communication with other settlements and regions of the country. The main transport arteries are the railway and highways. The total length of roads in the city is 630 kilometers. And to the regional center - Ust-Kamenogorsk, only 130 kilometers. You can use the services of intercity transport and taxis.
Sports events
The city of Ridder is the center of winter sports not only in Kazakhstan. Competitions in cross-country skiing, ski jumping, ski orienteering, biathlon are held here. Half of the athletes from the Kazakhstan national team in these disciplines are the natives of the city of Ridder, which they are very proud of.
In March 2013, the World Ski Orienteering Championship was held on the territory of the eastern region. Prize-winning places were won by natives of Ridder Daria Korneva and Dmitry Adamovich.
In 2006, the first motor and motorcycle races took place in Ridder. The event was warmly received by the residents, and since 2009 the races have been held several times a year, each time attracting new participants.
Attractions Ridder
The city of Ridder, although small, is old, and it also has something to see for tourists, so to speak, for general development.
For example, the local history museum, which was opened in 1960. In this unique place, evidence is collected of how hard, with a share of fanaticism, people worked, laying the foundations of production and building life on a completely empty, yet uninhabited land. In addition to samples of ore and metals, there are preserved cutlery, crockery, and household packaging in the mirror cabinets. There are many items of production, old-style machine tools and products. Even old photos of the city of Ridder (Kazakhstan) have been preserved.
It is worth paying attention to the Palace of Culture, which was built in 1961. The building has never been reconstructed and has retained its original appearance. It was considered the most beautiful in the city. The Palace of Culture is a prime example of the Soviet architectural style. At the present time, meetings and city events are held there.
Ridder, the city of East Kazakhstan, one of the most expensive diamonds in the precious crown of the republic. President of the Republic of Kazakhstan N.A. Nazarbayev.
Ridder is located in the north-east of Kazakhstan, at the foot of the Ivanovsky Range at an altitude of 700 to 900 meters above sea level. The history of Leninogorsk begins in 1786, when the search party of the mining officer Philip Ridder discovered a rich polymetallic deposit here, which was named after the discoverer. Unfortunately, not a single lifetime portrait of this man has been preserved. Artists represent his image in different ways. The most successful is considered to be performed by Yuri Khabarov, who portrayed Ridder against the backdrop of a local landmark - Mount Sokolok.
How it all began? In the late 1770s, mining in Altai fell into decline. And therefore, the decree of Catherine II followed to study the state of the Kolyvano-Voskresensky mines and take measures to improve their operation. This was followed by an order to the head of the Kolyvano-Voskresensky factories to send "to the mountains of the Altai Range, especially to the tops of the rivers Charysh, Uba, Ulba and others from this belt of current rivers and to other places of several parties to search for deposits of ores and colored stones."
In early May 1786, a large expedition of nine search parties was sent to the Altai Mountains, one of which was headed by 27-year-old Philip Ridder. The grandson of a Swedish military doctor, captured by the Russians near Poltava, the son of a Russified St. Petersburg gold-embroidered manufacturer, Filipp Filippovich Ridder was born in 1759. He brilliantly graduated from the St. Petersburg Mining School and entered the service at the Kolyvano-Voskresensky factories in Barnaul. In 1781, Ridder was granted the rank of bergeshvoren. He opposes the destruction of Ivan Polzunov's first steam engine in Russia. In 1785, F. Ridder was in charge of smelting at the Suzun copper smelter. In 1786, in pursuance of the Decree of the Chairman of the Cabinet of "Her Imperial Majesty" Catherine II P.A. descriptions of the places passed, “where, what rivers and rivers flow, are they convenient for navigation”, “what kind of land is in what places, is it convenient for settlement and arable farming”, “do residents live in these places”, “where are there forests, mountains, plains, which animals and birds live”, “if you come across the ruins of ancient buildings, statues or signs carved from stone ... remove plans or profiles from them.” Thus, along with the discovery of new deposits, flora and fauna were studied, a "chronicle" of the geographical landscapes of mountains, plains, rivers and lakes of the vast expanses of Russia was compiled.
The search party of 27-year-old Philip Ridder included: Unterschichtmeisters Lavrenty Fedenev and Philip Bekhterev, mine surveying students Fedor Starkov and Alexei Gobov, four miners and three security soldiers - a total of 12 people. Their task was to describe the areas along the rivers Uba and Ulba with tributaries, the search for ores and colored stones "beyond the places described above and to the mouths of these rivers flowing into the Irtysh River." For all expenses, 465 rubles were allocated (at that time, in order to encourage the mines of mineral deposits and colored stones, prospectors were promised a reward from the Cabinet of up to 10,000 rubles). On May 1, 1786, the detachment of F.F. Ridder set off from the Barnaul plant, on May 5 arrived at the Zmeinogorsk mine, on May 13 - at the Ust-Kamenogorsk fortress, on May 18 - 19 "were at the mouth of the Ulba River, where they waited for the escorts who arrived to protect Cossacks, because research sites lay behind the line of outposts, protection was necessary. ”The mine was directly started on May 20 from the mouth of the Bolshaya Uba River. In May, the expedition explored the places on the left side of the Ulba and the rivers of the Sredny Ulba, Malaya Ulba, Pikhtovka, Obderikha, Volchaya Pad, Kozlushka, Topkaya, Sharavka, Tikhaya, Filippovka, which flow into it. In the course of the study, 20 deposits were discovered, on May 31 - “passed from the mouth of the Filippovka River to the top of it, and from there back along the mountains ... in the middle mountain, which has a perpendicular height of 54 and 6 octopus fathoms, a distance from the Ust-Kamenogorsk fortress in 91 miles.” At the mouth of the Filippovka River, on its right side, a mine was found that glorified F. Ridder and his party and became the foundation of our city.
On June 11, 1786, F. Ridder sends to the Kolyvan Mining Expedition with A. Gobov, accompanied by Cossacks, samples of ores from a newly discovered deposit and a written message addressed to the head of the Kolyvano-Voskresensky plants G.S. Kachka: “... This mine was found by me on Trinity Day , Maya of the 31st day ... "This is how he himself describes that day:" In the middle mountain, in the ancient development, there was a vein, which all consists of green-yellow, red and gray-sand ocher. Came across quartz with native gold and an admixture of rich silver ore. Immediately set to work on the development of the vein. A little lower, a small dump of Chud work was discovered. On the same day, Ridder wrote: “This mine is possible. There are quite a few different varieties of forests near this mine. At seven versts there is a good pine forest. The meadows are pretty good. Places for a long-term settlement are very convenient ... ". And on the eleventh day after the discovery of the ore deposit, Philip sends samples of ores and a written message: “I have the honor to inform you that I have almost finished my journey along the Ulba River ... The one discovered at the Filippovka River contains gold, silver, copper and lead.” Part of the samples of rocks and ores (seven samples out of ten) were taken to the Barnaul laboratory for storage, and the remaining three were sent to St. Petersburg. In addition, Philip Ridder “found up to 59 varieties of porphyry, granite, jasper, and breccia along the Uba and Ulba rivers. The richest deposit of colored stones turned out to be near Ivanovsky Squirrel, on the banks of the Breksa River, called the Ridder quarry. From here, jaspers and breccias were used to make columns and pedestals. More than a thousand crafts made from Ridder jaspers and breccias adorn the cathedrals and palaces of Russia and Western Europe to this day. In July 1786, Ridder was awarded the rank of gittenferwalter for services in the description of deposits of ores and colored stones. In the autumn of the same year, the first buildings were erected on the site of the future city: a barracks, a barn and a smithy. In the spring of 1787, Philip Ridder continued to explore the deposit. From the same year, the mine on the Filippovka River began to be called Riddersky. There is a legend that the common people called Ridder as Reed Ivanovich.
In 1789, in the report of the operational summary of ore mining, it was stated: in total - 42,600 pounds, of which 400 pounds were sorted out, 2,500 pounds were mined from the "Chudskaya embankment". It was only towards the end of 1790 that ore was transported from the Riddersky mine to the Loktevsky smelter. The results were very positive: 11 pounds of pure silver, 2 spools and 32 parts were smelted, not counting copper and lead. It was the success of the enterprise and on February 11, 1791, a meeting of the Mining Council of the Kolyvano-Voskresensky factories was held, where F.F. Ridder was also invited. The main issue was the further development of the Ridder mine, an increase in the extraction of ores, the organization of their export by ore carriers to the foundry for testing by smelting, and the completion of the arrangement of a “capable” road. Thus was given a "start in life" to the mine of Philip Ridder.
Along with the development of minerals, the settlement grew at the mine, and already at the end of the 18th century, the village of Ridderskoye, Zmeinogorsky district, was formed ...
His career developed successfully until his health deteriorated. In March 1800, he was retired for health reasons. History has not preserved the exact date of the discoverer's death, although it is generally accepted that he died in 1835.
The uniqueness of the ores of the Ridder deposit has been repeatedly noted by specialists of various levels and commissions. It became known far beyond the borders of Russia. In 1850, Ridder ores received the highest rating at the World London Exhibition, and in 1879 their samples were included in the "collection of the museum of the Stockholm Royal Technical Institute."
Years passed, governments and formations changed. At the beginning of the 20th century, Ridder experienced a number of foreign concessions, years of revolution and civil war. The settlement of the Riddersky mine becomes the village of Riddersky, then the settlement, and, finally, from January 1, 1932 - the city of Ridder. On the eve of the war, the city of Ridder was renamed the city of Leninogorsk.
Industrial construction in Leninogorsk during the years of Soviet power gained a wide scope. The Lead plant was built - the firstborn of non-ferrous metallurgy in Kazakhstan, the Leninogorsk cascade of hydroelectric power stations - the only one in Kazakhstan and the second in the USSR, mines, factories, residential areas, a zinc plant. A mining and metallurgical technical school was opened on the basis of the Factory Training School (FZO).
For merits in providing for the Soviet Army and Navy during the Great Patriotic War, the Leninogorsk Polymetallic Combine was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor on May 30, 1966, and on May 4, 1985, the Order of the Patriotic War, 1st degree. In the year of its 200th anniversary, Leninogorsk was awarded the Order of Friendship of Peoples on July 14, 1986 for the successes of the working people achieved in economic and cultural construction, for their contribution to the fight against the Nazi invaders during the Great Patriotic War. The places around Ridder are truly fabulous. Ridder is located in the northeast of Kazakhstan, at the foot of the Ivanovsky Range, in an intermountain depression at an altitude of 700 to 900 meters above sea level. The climate is sharply continental, in summer the thermometer rises to plus 35.4 degrees, in winter it drops to minus 41.3.
