History

[edit]

Background

[edit]

The village of Iske-Kazan was founded on the territory of the modern Vysokogorsky district in the 12th century. But later in the 15th century, it became a part of the Kazan Khanate. The modern village of Vysokaya Gora was called Baigysh at that time. After the seizure of the territory by Ivan the Terrible, it was renamed Rozhdestvenskoye.[9][6]

Part of the territory of the district belonged to the Alatskaya Daruga (district) until the beginning of the 18th century. The road to the administrative center of Alatskaya Daruga passed to the north and northwest of Kazan. The district at this time was inhabited by Russian landowners, Tatars, and newly baptized peoples. Alatskaya Daruga was abolished in 1708, and its territory became part of the Kazan district. In 1722, Peter I visited the village of Kaymary and the construction of the temple of St. Kyril Belozersky began after his visit. Subsequently, a close friend of Peter I, Nefyod Kudryavtsev, received an estate in the village, leading to frequent visits by both the emperor himself and his successors: Paul I and Catherine the Great to the Kaymar estate in the district{. Besides them, Yevgeny Baratynsky had lived in the district since 1831.[9][7][12]

The Vysokohorsky district was formed as a new territorial unit in 1935 after the dissolution of the cantons. It was abolished in 1959, but it was restored 4 years later in.[13]

"SafPlast" was included in the ranking Top 300 Companies of Tatarstan in 2011. The company ranked first in Russia in the production of extrusion extruded polymer sheets in 2018, annually producing 15 billion square meters of these products. The plant has been a member of the national project "Labor productivity and employment support" since 2019 from which its employees receive soft loans, courses for retraining and advanced training are organized for them.[26][27][22]

Agriculture

[edit]

The Vysokogorsky district ranked third in the Kazan agglomeration and 19th in Tatarstan in terms of agricultural production in 2015. Spring wheat, winter rye, oats, vegetables are cultivated in the region. The main livestock industries in the region are dairy and beef cattle breeding. Prominent agricultural enterprises in the district are "Biryuli", "Serp and Molot", "Pravda", "Bitaman", "Suksu", "Vatan", and the agrofirm "Tatarstan".[7][4]

The agricultural enterprise "Biryuli" was founded in the 1930s. The company has been engaged in crop production, fur farming, garment making and the sale of fur products since the 2000s. "Biryuli" purchased out about 100 hectares of land in the region to expand production in 2010. The company owed its employees about 5.4 million from the salary fund by 2016. The company paid off the debt after the intervention of the republican interagency commission. The company's assets include 22 thousand hectares of agricultural land, including 17 thousand hectares of arable land and 3.6 thousand head of cattle in 2017.[31][32][33]

A rabbit factory was founded in the village of Ulya in 2006. 90% of the shares of the factory belonged to the Investment and Venture Fund of Tatarstan as the main investor, which allocated 37 million rubles for the creation of the enterprise. A year later, the head of the farm was arrested on suspicion of embezzlement of part of the allocated funds. Under new leadership the firm has since repeatedly been included in the rating of the "100 best goods of Russia" and joined the ranks of the country's largest rabbit meat factories. At the time the company had invested about 560 million rubles, while its revenue only amounted to about 122 million. The company was declared bankrupt in 2018 with its property and debts estimated at 227 million rubles.[34]

The Vysokogorsky plant was bought by the Udmurt company "Uva-Moloko" for 750 million rubles in 2020. Investors explained the acquisition by the fact that there is little milk in Udmurtia and the region relies on orders from Tatarstan. The new owners plan to invest about 100 million rubles in the plant to increase its milk processing capacity from 70 to 250 tons per day. The brand under which the products are manufactured will remain unchanged.[36][30]

They had 17 residents who produced products worth 6.2 billion rubles in 2015.[7] The Direct Investment Fund of Tatarstan announced its intention to create a food industrial park "M7 Vysokaya Gora" in the Vysokogorsky district in 2017. The park is intended to launch meat processing and food production capacity in the district. Up to 70 site residents could be accommodated on the site with the stated potential to create 6-7 thousand new jobs in 2020. Completion of the site infrastructure and the attraction of residents is planned for early 2021. According to the project, the total amount of investment by residents and management companies by 2026 is said to amount to25 million rubles.[8][37][38]

Indicators of investment in enterprises of the district, excluding budgetary funds, amounted to 8,339,000 rubles in 2019 and 4,608,000 rubles in the first half of 2020.[39][30]

In addition, there are seven natural monuments in the region, among them five lakes, the Estachinsky slope, and the "Semiozerny forest".[9] The Republic authorities have developed a project to group these lakes into a tourist cluster named the "Mirrors of Tatarstan". This concept became a finalist of the All-Russian competition for the development of ecotourism in Russia. The project involves the creation of a center for environmental education and active recreation, the promotion of sports recreation. Work is scheduled to start on this project in the spring of 2021.[40][41]
