Tetyushinov biography

A man from the city of A. Take, for example, the merchant Grigory Tetyushinov. His wooden house and, accordingly, his last name! Meanwhile, the townspeople for the most part remember little about this person. We hasten to fix it. The merchant-younger Grigory Vasilievich Tetyushinov is a native Astrakhan, born here in the year. But his ancestors are from visitors. In the popular biographies of the merchant, the version is often found that the aunts occurred from the town of Aunti, which was located in the Kazan province.

And from there they have already "dispersed" by the Volga region. He was written in a bourgeoisie, and served as a manager with the famous merchant Grigory Golikov, famous throughout the Volga. So commerce was, as they say, "in the blood." And Grisha chooses a trading path, already at the age of 23, becoming a merchant of the third guild. True, while the "Enotaevsky scale." He begins, as it is here, from the fish.

On small sailing ships-Aslamki transports the gifts of the Volga-Caspian to riding cities. He contracted to take passing cargo, returning back. And very soon he “filled out” to such an extent that he decided to build his own shipyard. Grigory Tetyushinov, the head of the Tetyushin and Coat, founded by him, put it for progress for the year. And the owner of his own shipyard. Yes, not simple, but a shipyard that builds ships with iron buildings.

At that time, similar were only in St. Petersburg and Nizhny Novgorod Sormovo. So, the Astrakhan merchant “put it for progress” and won! The first vessels that went from the trunks of the shipyard in the years is the towing steamboats “Nadezhda” and “Nikolai”. And then more. Shchuns, barges, transports, and later oil vessels. The first screw vessel at the Caspian was called "Cossack".

Later, “Kalmyk”, “Tatar”, “Lezgin” came off the slipways. And all this water "International" was created by the workers of Tetyushinov. There was something to boast. So, for example, the Kalmyk transport could transport up to 40 thousand pounds of cargo! Grigory Vasilievich rapidly gained merchant authority and rich. In addition to shipbuilding and transport transportation, he also successfully engaged in fishing, wine and oil processing.

And time showed the correctness of "laying eggs in different baskets." When the shipyard was seriously injured during the floods of the year, other business projects helped out. Starting commerce in the third guild, he was in the first guild by mature years. And he was elected vowel of the City Duma. And on December 12, for a twenty-year-old immaculate stay in the 1st merchant guild, Grigory Vasilyevich Tetyushinov was assigned honorary citizenship.

And, of course, what kind of merchant of that era without a “charitable train”? Honorary member of the trusteeship of children's shelters, the initiator of the opening of the navigation school and the classes of gardening and gardening, the generous donor of libraries and schools. As well as the author and realizer of the idea of ​​installing a monument to the king-liberator Alexander the Second, who stood in the garden, which is now called fraternal.

A miracle there could be listed for a long time for the professional and public exploits of Grigory Vasilyevich, but the main point of his biography for descendants remains the construction of a wonderful house in the city center. This tower, with a wooden decor uncharacteristic for Astrakhan, erected aunt in the year. Indeed, Astrakhan is not Arkhangelsk.

There were no strong traditions of carved architecture, the forest in the local latitudes was always very expensive, so they did not indulge in experiments. But Tetyushinov was able to build a house that the Astrakhan has not yet seen. As the portal Astrakult writes. A beautiful house, more like a fabulous tower, is made in the “Russian style”. He in general terms repeats numerous samples of country houses, widely represented in periodicals of that time-mainly in the "Artistic Architectural Album" and in the artistic and technical journal "Architect".

The Astrakhan really liked the house. They just came to look at him. And to be invited to the ball to Tetyushin was considered an honor! My wife was less fortunate, but the balls did not become a good tradition. Alas, the mistress of the house, as they say, failed. In family life, unlike commerce, Grigory Tetyushin was not so successful. His wife just ... threw it. Glafira Ivanovna Tetyushinova was a creative lady and seeking in nature.

She was known as a famous journalist, by the way, often signed the articles with the pseudonym “Astrakhanka”, a criticess and a translator. Often published in the local newspaper Volga has nothing to do with today - approx. And soon the measured merchant life in Astrakhan stopped arranging it. Her articles and reviews were distinguished by the courage of judgments, social orientation, and originality of assessments.

In Grigory Tetyushinov, there was a daughter, for whom he said, and built his tower. But she also left Astrakhan, after the death of her father in the year. And the house in the Soviet period moved away to the state. Until the xs of the last century, people, who had already been critically dilapidated, lived in him. On the eve of the anniversary of Astrakhan, it became possible to restore it with a transformation into a “tourist highlight”.And now the house with a wonderful internal surroundings is the best memory of the Astrakhan merchant Grigory Vasilyevich Tetyushinov.
