john greaves is a belgian enterprise built by an englishman, john greaves is a company that still exists today, this is an advertisement for whom these planters, fans, and plows were manufactured, we have already mentioned hughes, but what did hughes produce? he started with reyuk, then he had a very, very large nomenclature, when the development of these kryvyi rih ores began, he was sold very high-quality ore for half the price, in the sense that in order to attract him, so that he could feel the quality, and then he, when he went to kryvorizky, to the kryvorizky ore basin, he felt the benefit and he was one of the largest

miners of ore in kryvyi rih, john yus, i read that he built a metallurgical plant, but for this he transported the finished plant from great britain on eight steamships, salt in soledar, which, which supplied the needs of all of ukraine, it was mined until last year, the french began to develop it, then the belgians came en masse, and only in the period from 1895 to 900, 20 factories were built at the expense of foreign investments. and even those factories that are very fond of being attributed to the soviet authorities, were also there erected with the money and efforts of foreigners, for example, the german konrad gamper built the staro kramatorsk machine-building plant , another german, gustav hartman, the locomotive -building plant, which is now luhansklovoz, the belgians built the mariupol medical complex named after ilyich, in part, a large part, it was precisely american investments. it was

the nikopol-mariupol company, which brought factories from america on three such titanic ships to mariupol when the port was still shallow, so they stopped in feodosia, unloaded from feodosia already in nikopol and these enterprises were transported to mariupol by trains and wagons, this is a unique experience, i don’t know, well, in principle, it was also an interesting experience in gyuza, and it was a transatlantic story, i don’t know if there is an analogue of such enterprises as nikopel-mariupol society, in general in world practice, of exactly this scale, well, this is what we now know as metkombinat, ilyich, ilyich, yes, that, they were nearby, and then the americans did not work for a long time, they did not have such inspiration, and the french bought

these enterprises from the belgians, so they brought, say, these lines, entire factories, but who should work on them, people should know what to do with all these machines, blast furnaces, they brought workers, but no, they brought craftsmen, engineers, specialists who trained the local population and those people who came from galicia and russia, it was such a melting pot in which the whole history of donbas was cooked, and it is unique in its own way, this is how civilization changed from agrarian to urban, and in fact, we jumped in the last carriage, the first industrial revolution, and that was it

cool and in fact this transition then took place already before the second industrial revolution and the bolsheviks interrupted our this our this growth and then in the 30s all the people and craftsmen they were very often of polish and german and greek origin and czech people from all over the world, whom they persecuted and destroyed, and in fact they gave all their lives and all their knowledge to create this industrial district of this kryvorizka-dnieper-donetsk region, but the soviet authorities saw them as a threat, so it very often got rid of them, these people go abroad, somewhere from america, from belgium, from france , and they come to the so-called wild east of europe

, where you say, there were still mazankas, or did they bring with them, well, let's say, some of their western civilization, of course. that is, what was built is architecture, architecture is a part of culture, and i, well, this, compared to other cities, of course, is a very small part in donetsk, but i always admired those houses that, uh, the british built, that is, they were still standing when you lived in donetsk, yes, name a couple of buildings, the central part of the city, this is the first line, of course, there is artyom and so on , for example, with some interesting details, the second floor of this building, it was less than 2 m high, because there was such a

sewing room atelier, and people sat there, and if it was built specifically for that, for the production of some kind of clothes, but people had to sit and walk there standing , it was not so important how high the ceiling was, and i remember, well, the same yuzak house , it was already ruins, and it was surrounded by garages, as usual, that is, the area was closed, a story, when a relative of his, who is already present, came there and they talked about the fact that it was not bad to restore it, well, that’s how it all remained, foreigners came, and that they worked and needed to sleep, or did they develop infrastructure for themselves, like libraries

, theaters, i know that the streets began to be paved and lighted, so of course that, well, progressive, as it were, all technologies, all, all cultural directions, of course, they were transferred here, and theaters also appeared, and there was a cinema, and were, well, even trade infrastructure, it also had signs, modern for that time, some features, about europe in donbas, we will talk with kornii hrytsiuk, this is the director of the documentary film evrrodbas, kornii is in direct contact with us, roots, i congratulate you. good afternoon, hello, friend, why did you even take up the subject of euro-donbass, but it seems to me that the period of history when the donbass actually became a basas, our donetsk region, our luhansk region became this industrial region,

at the end of the 19th, at the beginning of the 20th century, thanks primarily to western europeans investments, it seems to me that this period, which was actually erased by soviet propaganda, by history, is extremely important in order to understand this region in general, why it is the way it is and not another, and that is why i really wanted to make a film, a research film that would be based on real historical facts, about the actual industrialization of the east of our country, you yourself are from donetsk, and you are making such a film, research, in fact, which of the soviet myths that you will simplify...' in the film, impressed you the most, were you such at all, or maybe you knew everything, well, i was probably most surprised, surprised by the scale of the actual european presence there, because there were scattered, you know, such data that the british were there somewhere, yes john guus, maybe those from donetsk, or they know something

about the history of donetsk, they heard it, maybe someone there heard about the belgians in kostyantynivka or in lysychchansk, but when we started to deal with this topic seriously, to research, we realized that it was just this european scale. presence, the fact that in general the east of our country was then an important part of the european economy, well, it was possible to get on a train in brussels and get there actually to the outskirts of the modern donetsk region and from there to reach kostyantynivka or losychansk or bakhmut, well, i was surprised by the extent to which foreigners adapted this region for themselves , as cinemas, schools, and football schools appeared there very quickly. how did they bring football there, why, well, for example, in donbas, well, they always loved football, during the soviet times, during the times of independent ukraine, and it all goes from there since those times, when there was not much difference on the football field, you were some foreign engineer , super experienced, or you were a ukrainian

peasant working at these enterprises, if you played well, you played right away, there were teams from that region then, they won all of them, we , when we were making movies, we watched, you know, the standings of those or all of them, and it was so interesting there that , for example, some teams from the big cities of the russian empire, there are conventionally moscow, kyiv, odesa, well, they lost to these teams, there from osychansk or from yuzivka, simply because there football was more popular and people played it better, that's why it probably surprised me so much, and because there were english legionnaires, obviously, well, probably, yes, you can say that, it was still very interesting to find out what was possible there to buy belgian beer there, which belgian workers are used to, or belgian chocolate there, that is, again, that, for example, there was a soda factory hospital in lysychansk, but people went to this hospital for treatment. from kharkiv or there from the cities of modern russia, from kyiv, that is

people came there to be treated in a working-class village of their own, because there was simply advanced medicine at that time , the same as it was in europe, well, that is, maybe, well, we just didn’t know all about it, and even now this hospital in lysychchansk , its remains, they are still impressive today, when we filmed there in the 21st year, well, it's like you get into some kind of hogwarts in the luhansk region, because it looks simply fabulous. and what was there with the language barrier, because somehow all these people who came from belgium, from france, from england had get along with the locals, or did they live so separately and met only on the football field? no, actually they were separated for some time , because they were just two different civilizations, that is, when we talk about this period of the eurobasus, it's not a matter of one or two years or even ten. these events, they actually happened there conditionally from 1800 there in the 70s and until the end of the existence

of the russian empire, that is, it is actually there plus or minus 50 years, of course, during this time they mastered a little local languages, there was the ukrainian language, because donetsk region, luhansk region before such mass industrialization, these are such ordinary ukrainian regions, we picked up a bunch of photos from those times, these are towels, these are embroidery, these are ukrainian songs, but there was of course the russian language there, because ethnic russians are the same were very close and in general it was part of the russian empire, that is, foreigners studied these languages, our people who lived there studied a little foreign languages, of course there were teachers there, there were people, translators who helped people to understand each other, but in general this communication, well, it became better and better over the years and already, well, we can’t say, yes, through rose-colored glasses, that the british arrived there and immediately... started dancing the gupak with the ukrainians, drinking vodka

and talk about english literature, no, that didn’t happen, but over time, people really started to get to know each other more, and already at the time of the collapse of the russian empire, well , a whole class of highly qualified ukrainian workers, ukrainian engineers, that is, people who already could and what have already successfully cooperated with foreigners, when we talk about cooperation, we must mention oleksiy olchevskyi. the ukrainian entrepreneur, philanthropist of those times, such a self-made man, yes, that is, he is a person who simply made himself really himself, but in that period on the verge of centuries, and alcheevsky worked very successfully with the belgians, for example, in mariupol, what later became elich plant, these are actually two enterprises, the nikopel plant and the providence plant, american and belgian, and actually with the belgian part, with this probidance, alchevskyi cooperated very strongly, he is one of the founders of this. that is, it is a very successful example of ukrainian-ukrainian-european cooperation,

because alchevskyi always considered himself a ukrainian, he invested a lot of money in ukrainian culture, he was generally the first bus of taras shevchenko, it was oleksiy alchevskyi who built it, and his wife had a huge role in the education of ukrainian youth in slobozhan oblast, kharkiv oblast, their very name and the city of alchevsk, at least that's how it remains in memory. kornia, thank you very much, kornii hrytsyuk, the director of the documentary evrrodbas, watch it for sure, because you will see how many facts that shocked even a person who was born in donetsk, that's it, thanks to you.

and how did these foreigners who arrived affect the formation of the actual working class, that is, the transformation of the entire region took place under their influence? well, of course, probably until the end of the crisis of 907, communication was tense, after 907 the business philosophy completely changed. it was no longer a fever, it was a conscious business, that's it financial and industrial groups and syndicates began to be created, which, er, no longer competed with each other, but united , after this period passed after the crisis, the restructuring of businesses, mergers and acquisitions in modern language, that fantastic takeoff began,

what was the year 913, if you remember, it is always... an example that this is the most successful year in the business of the russian empire, it was actually the most successful year, because the world war began in the 14th year, and no one has ever been so successful , neither europe nor we knew, dmytro was showing the list, here a huge number of enterprises are only belgian, i understand correctly, that is to say, they are exclusively belgian. look here, two pages in small print, only biological enterprises in donbas , mining industry, construction, blast furnaces, mechanical engineering, lighting and electricity, public, public transport, tram, this is also a belgian enterprise, that is, a huge, huge layer of the life

of the entire region , and what lured the belgians here, because here i read, for example, that in only... konstantinovci in 5 years from 1896 to in the 900s, belgian entrepreneurs built glass bottle, chemical, and mirror ceramic factories, and donbass was called metallurgical and also metallurgical, and the region was called the tenth province of belgium , which was the same for belgians, children and representatives of successful belgian businesses came to develop, these places are in the absolute steppe, there was a small village of santurinivka and the kostiantynivka station, and all the enterprises that you listed were built on the basis of all this, so what was there, maybe some special conditions, maybe they were taxed, which the belgians drove, they could take the money to some other region, well, the fact is they drove to

brazil and all over the world, and the belgian trams were...' recognized as the best in the whole world, there was encouragement , the government encouraged the belgians, it is not as far as going there to india or mexico, and it was not only donetsk, it was also odesa, it was also nikopol, and kharkiv, and imagine, in sumy, also belgian the enterprise was a potie, which later grew into the frunze plant, a very large and powerful plant, in the crimea there were in kirch, an iron ore region, in sevastopol, simferopol there were belgian trams , just like in kyiv, in odesa, in katerynoslav, don’t

believe there was a belgian tram even in berdychev, it was horse-drawn, but had shares, the of berdychiv tram is on the stock exchange, can we say that it was then that the so-called donbas identity began to take shape, it was very often talked about before the russian occupation, and these kremlin propagandists continue to talk about it, i really do not know what it is means, the identity, if we take the kurni, must be from ukraine, specifically from a village near donetsk. er, grandfather was hacked, as it always happens, they just came, took everything, everything possible, and er, well, grandfather was forced to go to donetsk, where you could make money, to enterprises, that is, that is he was engaged in agriculture, he was sacked, so he was a very, well, as they say now, a very successful f farmer, because

i later, we managed to take that house, the house, like our ancestral nest, yes, i saw it, that's it very big, big house, and well, the man was really successful in his business, but his father was on the contrary, he was from a far away area, the russian empire, the russian soviet empire, this chuvash, he also went to donbas after serving in the army, because it was possible only there, it was possible to earn some money and so on and so forth, i.e. the local flow, the flow of visitors, that's all here and there. let's put it this way, then he got mixed up

, so korniy said that he did not know many... facts about the europeanness of donbass, you heard something in your childhood about the fact that before the soviet union came here, life existed here, factories were here, people worked here, libraries, theaters were built here , cobblestones were laid on the streets, well, of course, well, it was not like that, it was widely announced, that is, all the merits that could have been, are only thanks to the soviet authorities, but we knew that there was already something here, for example, some, even the names remained from those times, and there is such a square

of zzizynska, it is still called pozharkoy, that is, there was some part of the pozharkoy, and i think , to this day, in the occupied this square in donetsk is called that, in fact, it was impossible to erase history like that, it was simply impossible anyway, you and i started with a document, that’s why these coupons turned out to be undeveloped, when everything stopped, it was a disaster of the 19th year, when the russian, well, the moscow government is bolshevik, i emphasize the moscow government, because no ukrainian government, neither the unr, nor the state of pavlo skoropatskyi. did not steal a single cent from european entrepreneurs, and the fact that they currently have a certain

negative attitude towards of our common history , i always appeal to them that friends, we did not take anything from you, they took away your enterprises and capital, but they took away 100 years of development from us, the soviet government came and what did they do? issued a decree on the nationalization of all capital and all enterprises that were located on the territory of the former russian empire, which had already been captured by red army units, and since according to xiang the territory was actually captured by the reds , the soviet government appropriated everything that was on these lands this way, and the owners, investors were left with nothing

they were left with nothing and did not recognize the soviet union, they demanded compensation, the soviet union did not compensate anything, and only belgium, the last one, recognized the soviet union, because it invested not only money, but also soul and love for these lands, because they... became native to them and in the 19th year it was impossible to get a large caravan across europe to belgium, because there was a war and such a large railway caravan was built from teplushki and more than 2,000 belgians and all foreigners who remained on our ukrainian lands and they got to their homeland through their wanderings. this story, it's terrible, brutal, because, well, it ends

today under shells and bombs, in fact everything that the belgians built, bahmud, well, not the belgians, let's say, foreigners, foreign entrepreneurs, bahmud, solidar, lysychansk they already erased, mariupol is partially erased from the face of the earth, and this is simply a disaster, because in fact, the industrial heritage that we had, relatively speaking, in lysychansk, the belgian colony was completely erased by rockets, and such colonies are left for today, well, one or two, i won’t say where they are, so that god forbid russia... they didn’t penetrate there, here, but today ends, this is this story, thank you for this paragraph, thank you great,
