Турбинная электростанция Товарищества "Никольская мануфактура Саввы Морозова сын и К°"

Built at the beginning of the 20th century, the power station was considered one of the most advanced in the Russian Empire. Being in the Vladimir province, the power transmission line was connected with a similar station in Bogorodsk, being the embryo of the future GOELRO plan. But on a private basis. The power plant is better known for being under the actual direction of Krasin LB during construction and during the first revolution of 1905-07, as evidenced by the plate on the building. Here, under cover and with the direct participation of the younger Savva Morozov, the largest organizational and technical center of the Social Democrats was created. The finances of the manufacturer allowed opening a printing house here, on which, in particular, the Iskra newspaper was printed, as well as other periodicals and proclamations. Here, on the technical base of the station, weapons were repaired and prepared, bombs started. There was an assembly point for fighting, fortunately, the railway runs a dozen meters and wagons commissioned by the Partnership were regularly served for loading. From here, the squads followed to Moscow, well-equipped, armed, with a mass of printed materials and a supply of cash. The patronage of Morozov did not allow the police and other security officials to enter here at least once in those years. As with other facilities under the jurisdiction of Savva Timofeevich. After the Second World War, the Torfmash plant was created on the basis of this station, which was later transformed into an enterprise that for a number of reasons wore the proud nickname Tramtararam and was part of the Stroydormash concern. I had a chance to work here for a number of years as the head of supply, and then everyday life, while at that time a mold workshop with expensive imported machines that did not like a sharp temperature difference was located in the Morozov mansions. Only this building provided the necessary characteristics. The masonry in it, the height of the vaults, architectural features is something. On the inside, apparently from the same pre-revolutionary times, the foundry, the only nurse of Tramtararama, was preserved in the late 80s and 90s. Assuming its antiquity allowed there the auxiliary "equipment" and "technology", which was not at all offset by the presence of the DSP-1500 furnace. One of the mass of historical places in these Palestinians.
