Kharkov Alexey Biography

He graduated from the Sumy district school. He devoted a large amount of time to self -education. Also, he helped his father in tea shops. He opened his own tea store at the mgoda. And these are not just words. This is an indisputable fact. Proof is that interest in these personalities not only does not fade away, but also increases over time. Today I want to talk about Alchevskikh’s kind.

Where does it come from? The genus takes this noble family for Kharkov in years in Sumy, or rather in the Sumy Slobodsky Cossack Regiment. Over the years of its existence, the family has not once become bankrupt and began to restore its capital from scratch. Fyodor Afanasevich Alchevsky in the year moved from the title of merchant in a bourgeois. Fedor had three sons, and only the youngest, Kirill Fedorovich, was able to return the title of the merchant.

It was a long and painstaking process requiring investments and strength. Kirill Fedorovich was the headman of the Intercession Church. He donated rubles to decorate the temple and rubles for the end of its construction in the year. The property of the Alchevskiy, as well as their shop, suffered damage. But instead of saving his own, Alchevsky at his own expense, and this rubles in silver, restores the damaged temple.

The move to Kharkov to the Kharkov province moved the Alchevski family because of their business-the sale of tea. In the Sumy, the place was not enough for the development in this direction, and in Kharkov there were visiting merchants who stably supply this product. Thus, the niche was free. Here the Alchevskys not only sold tea, but they themselves were packaged, and even gave their own names to tea.

By the way, the goods were brought from China. By the year, the Alchevskie became almost monopolists in the tea market of the Kharkov province, owned a warehouse and shops. I note that as soon as the Alchevsky appeared in Kharkov, the Gromada circle Alexei Kirillovich Alchevsky Alechevsky Alexei Kirillovich was born immediately in the year. He opened his own tea store at Mgoda, as is commonly on Sumskaya Street, 7.

In Kursk, he met with the daughter of a teacher of the local district school Christina Danilovna Zhuravleva, which he married in the year. Christina was not only a beautiful, but also an incredibly smart girl. She had a wonderful voice and musical abilities. In the person of Christina, Alexei found not only a beautiful wife, his mother of six talented children, but also a colleague for life.

Alchevsky’s mutual loan and the land bank decided to organize a new type of credit, designed to carry out short -term financial transactions that satisfy the momentary needs of trade and industrial people. He managed to gather a group of like -minded people, write a charter and submit a petition for the opening of the organization. In the year, having received permission, a mutual loan company opened in Kharkov.

On the basis of it, after incomplete two years, the Kharkov trading bank was opened - the second bank of commercial loan in the Russian Empire. It was built on a joint -stock basis, exempting customers from mutual vouching and liability for losses - this responsibility was transferred to joint -stock capital. In years, according to the draft charter written by Alchevsky, a second mutual loan society appeared in Kharkov, intended to finance the business of small merchants and industrialists.

Two societies Alexei Kirillovich not only formally led, but also took an active part in development. So, quite young Alexei Alchevsky became not only a merchant of the 1st Guild, but also a banker. This is not surprising, because the essence of his business was not only in earnings, but also in the creation and implementation of new projects for the development of the city and its inhabitants.

In September, Alexei Alchevsky opened a land bank in Kharkov, the founders of which were the professor-economist I. Vernadsky, landowner A. Bantysh, a merchant of the 1st guild F. Dobrynin and others. This place was the first Bank of mortgage loans in the Russian Empire. Here it was possible to get a loan on the bail of land or real estate, both in the city and in the province. Prior to this, loans were mainly issued by usurers at a huge percentage of per annum.

In general, the opening of the land bank was a huge breakthrough. Landowners from all over the Russian Empire reached here, and Alexei Kirillovich Alchevsky won a huge authority among banking and financiers. I liked the idea so much that eleven such institutions opened throughout the country in the next six months. The coal mining industry by the middle of the X condition of Alexei Alchevsky was estimated at 1.4 million rubles.

But here he did not stop there. The funds were invested in the creation of the coal mining industry of Donbass. The booty of stone coal began on the lands that were originally belonging to I. Gladkov, I. Zhillo, the brothers Rodakov, Prince A. Dolgorukov, and were near the just -built branch of Lugansk - Debaltseve of the Catherine’s Railway. This case turned out to be very profitable, but subsequently delivered a lot of trouble to Alexei Kirillovich.In years, the Russian empire stirred up an industrial awakening, which caused the rise in the metallurgical industry.

In the year, Alchevsky decided that he needed to open a metallurgical plant. Donbass is the most suitable place for such an enterprise. In addition to capital mines and coke, I have mine there - near the Yuryevka station, as you know, our stoves work. In addition, the Yekaterininsky railway, near which we settled, allows you to inexpens a manganese from Nikopol and an ore rich in iron from Krivoy Rog.

I think it will turn out good and profitable, ”said Alexei Kirillovich. This direction was destined to become successful, but the last brainchild of Alexei Alchevsky. The philanthropy and social activity is known that Alexei Alchevsky participated in the Ukrainian national movement, headed the circle of Ukrainian intelligentsia "Gromada" in Kharkov, who was engaged in broad public and cultural and educational activities.

Also, churches, schools and hospitals were built at alchevsky’s funds. On the initiative of Alexei Kirillovich, the first monument to T. Shevchenko appeared in the world. Since it was impossible to legitimize the monument to the Ukrainian author in those years, the monument was placed in the garden, on the territory of the Alchevskie estate in Kharkov Street Zhon Miroositz, the recreation center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The author of the monument is Beklemyshev. The monument was made of white marble. After the sale of the estate, the fate of the monument is unknown. In the village of Alekseevka, Alexei Alchevsky built a Ukrainian -speaking school for rural children. For 7 years, a famous Ukrainian writer, teacher, literary critic and ethnographer Boris Grinchenko taught here. Christina Alchevskaya, the only wife of Alexei Alchevsky, was not only the mother of his children, but also the comrade -in -arms of the banker.

They were united by a desire to bring education and literacy to the masses. Christina was brought up in the teacher of the teacher. She was engaged in self -education, listening to the lessons of brothers furtively and studying their gymnasium textbooks. Her father was against education for the girl. Christina Danilovna devoted her life to the first Kharkov Women's Sunday school.

Initially, classes were held in the Alchevskiy house illegally. Here they studied with girls from unsecured families on a free basis. After Christina Danilovna passed exams for the possibility of teaching, the school was assigned an official status.

In the year, the school moved to its own building, built by Alexei Beketov, now the hall of the Kharkov Art Museum. As teachers, Christine managed to attract beautiful professors. Education was free. At the beginning of the age, the number of students reached a person. Also, Christina Alchevskaya took an active part in the opening of the first public library in our city, “I married an aging Ukrainian,” said Christina Danilovna.

All of them were very talented and glorified their family not only in the Kharkov province, but also far beyond its borders.
