Excerpt characterizing Cape Kamenny (village)

No matter how hard it was for Sonya, she kept an eye on her friend.
On the eve of the day on which the count was supposed to return, Sonya noticed that Natasha had been sitting all morning at the living room window, as if expecting something, and that she made some kind of sign to a passing military man, whom Sonya mistook for Anatole.
Sonya began to observe her friend even more carefully and noticed that Natasha was in a strange and unnatural state all the time during lunch and evening (she answered questions asked to her at random, started and did not finish sentences, laughed at everything).
After tea, Sonya saw a timid girl's maid waiting for her at Natasha's door. She let her through and, listening at the door, learned that a letter had been delivered again. And suddenly it became clear to Sonya that Natasha had some terrible plan for this evening. Sonya knocked on her door. Natasha didn't let her in.
“She'll run away with him! thought Sonya. She is capable of anything. Today there was something especially pitiful and determined in her face. She cried, saying goodbye to her uncle, Sonya recalled. Yes, it’s true, she’s running with him, but what should I do?” thought Sonya, now recalling those signs that clearly proved why Natasha had some terrible intention. “There is no count. What should I do, write to Kuragin, demanding an explanation from him? But who tells him to answer? Write to Pierre, as Prince Andrei asked, in case of an accident?... But maybe, in fact, she has already refused Bolkonsky (she sent a letter to Princess Marya yesterday). There’s no uncle!” It seemed terrible to Sonya to tell Marya Dmitrievna, who believed so much in Natasha. “But one way or another,” Sonya thought, standing in the dark corridor: now or never the time has come to prove that I remember the benefits of their family and love Nicolas. No, even if I don’t sleep for three nights, I won’t leave this corridor and forcefully let her in, and I won’t let shame fall on their family,” she thought.

Anatole recently moved in with Dolokhov. The plan to kidnap Rostova had been thought out and prepared by Dolokhov for several days, and on the day when Sonya, having overheard Natasha at the door, decided to protect her, this plan had to be carried out. Natasha promised to go out to Kuragin’s back porch at ten o’clock in the evening. Kuragin had to put her in a prepared troika and take her 60 versts from Moscow to the village of Kamenka, where a disrobed priest was prepared who was supposed to marry them. In Kamenka, a setup was ready that was supposed to take them to the Warsaw road and there they were supposed to ride abroad on postal ones.
Anatole had a passport, and a travel document, and ten thousand money taken from his sister, and ten thousand borrowed through Dolokhov.
Two witnesses - Khvostikov, a former clerk, whom Dolokhov used for games, and Makarin, a retired hussar, a good-natured and weak man who had boundless love for Kuragin - were sitting in the first room having tea.
In Dolokhov’s large office, decorated from walls to ceiling with Persian carpets, bear skins and weapons, Dolokhov sat in a traveling beshmet and boots in front of an open bureau, on which lay abacus and stacks of money. Anatole, in an unbuttoned uniform, walked from the room where the witnesses were sitting, through the office into the back room, where his French footman and others were packing the last things. Dolokhov counted the money and wrote it down.
“Well,” he said, “Khvostikov needs to be given two thousand.”
“Well, give it to me,” said Anatole.
– Makarka (that’s what they called Makarina), this one will selflessly go through fire and water for you. Well, the score is over,” said Dolokhov, showing him the note. - So?
“Yes, of course, so,” said Anatole, apparently not listening to Dolokhov and with a smile that never left his face, looking ahead of him.
Dolokhov slammed the bureau and turned to Anatoly with a mocking smile.

Cape Kamenny is a settlement in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, which received the status of a rural settlement in 2004. Just over one and a half thousand people live in the village. Cape Kamenny consists of three areas that vividly reflect its history: Aviators, Geologists and the Zapalarnaya Geophysical Expedition.

If you have a question about where Cape Kamenny is located, then find the capital of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Salekhard, on the map. If you move in a straight line to the northeast from this city, then after 380 kilometers you will find the village of Cape Kamenny. It is located on the coast of Lake Yamal on the left bank of the Ob Bay. The territory of the rural settlement is more than 5 thousand hectares.

Cape Kamenny: history

The village of Cape Kamenny begins its history in the 40s of the 20th century. Then this place was chosen for the construction of a secret port for the Northern Navy. The work had already begun when it turned out that Ob Bay not suitable for port construction. The bay's water area is too shallow. By that time, Cape Kamenny already had an airport.

The airfield, which was located in the village of Cape Kamenny, was a closed military base. A reserve airport for aircraft that guarded the state border. Already at the end of the 50s, the air harbor of the village of Cape Kamenny began to receive the first civilian ships, cargo and mail planes. After 10 years, an air squadron of the united air force was organized on the basis of the airfield. civil aviation. A decade later it was transformed into an air squadron. In the second half of the 1990s, it became part of the Tyumen Aviation Transport Company, and then became one of the branches of UTair.

Simultaneously with the development of the aviation industry, Western Siberia was being explored. It was Cape Kamenny in Russia that became launching pad for the development of Yamal. An oil and gas exploration expedition landed on Kamenny Mys, where work on developing the fields began. Researchers have confirmed the presence of oil in Kharasaveya, Sabetta, Bovanenkovo, and Novy Port.

At that time, the whole country knew where Cape Kamenny was located. It became the center of the conquest of Yamal. The small village grew into the large settlement of Cape Kamenny.

In the 70s, the oil and gas fields of Cape Kamenny began to be developed. About three hundred drilling rigs were delivered and thousands of meters of depth were drilled. A huge amount of preparatory work has gone through. The development of deposits stimulated the development of the village. In 1981, the Cape Kamenny field produced the first gas.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, many industries fell into decline. Cape Kamenny in Russia, known as the center for the development of the subsoil of Yamal, people began to leave. At its peak, the population here was 6 thousand people. And after the collapse of the Union, Cape Kamenny, where many works were suspended, became empty. There are just over 2 thousand people left.

A new round of development settlement Cape Kamenny started in the 2000s. In 2014, Gazprom Neft completed the construction of the first line of the oil pipeline, which connected the Novoportovskoye field and the village of Cape Kamenny. At the same time, the laying of the second thread began.

Currently, construction of a subarctic terminal is underway in the village of Mys Kamenny. It will allow organizing the loading of oil tankers here. The terminal will be able to handle up to 6.5 million tons of oil per year.

Cape Kamenny: development prospects

Cape Kamenny has now begun to turn from a depressed region into the base of an Arctic oil terminal. Soon, not far from the village, oil workers will begin to develop the Maloyamalskoye field. With a new round of development of the oil industry, development came to Cape Kamenny social sphere. Residential buildings, kindergartens and schools are being built here.

In 2017, construction of a gas turbine power plant will begin at the Novoportovskoye field. And a year later, this electricity production facility will be connected to one of the microdistricts of the village of Cape Kamenny.

Not every person lives in his own hometown. Many are leaving, some far away, some in nearby town. But it’s warming to think that there is always the opportunity to return, even if they come every week on the weekend, or never return. I no longer have this opportunity.
My homeland is being “liquidated”... A small village on the western shore of the Gulf of Ob, where my parents arrived immediately after their wedding.

This is the end of the 80s. Cape Kamenny prospered and expanded, new houses, a school and two kindergartens were just set up, and an airport was built. The village was located along the Kamennaya Spit and was called in Chukchan “Pesalya” - a sandy cape, far from stone, and it’s true, there is not a single stone here, there are no stones at all.

On the map of Russia it is just a small dot, but no one knows that after it, after this speck, there is nothing else. I mean NOTHING. Only Seyakha (maternity hospital and port), Cape Kharasavey with its 2 trillion cubic meters of gas, and then the Ocean and North Pole. All.

The village was divided into three parts: the airport, geologists and ZGE. We lived in the most remote one - ZGE, Polar Geophysical Expedition. I have never met so many polar explorers, geologists and geophysicists anywhere else. There are 16 families in one house, where both parents worked on the expedition, exploration and development of Yamal deposits. Children go to school, parents go to work, everything is the same as everywhere else, but not everywhere. We went to school on Carrot. Once in such a Carrot, a group of 8 geologists froze while crossing to a party.

What is wind and snow? Only a person who has lived in the tundra for 16 years can understand. The wind is not just gusts that sometimes fall, making movement a little difficult. The wind is when, if it is tailwind, it carries you forward, like on a skating rink along a heating main, and it doesn’t matter that you now need to turn left, if you want to slow down, have time to grab a pole. And if the wind is headwind, then you need to go the other way. Because the wind in the north cannot be headwind, it is only tailwind.
Snow is not a slow, magical waltz of big, loose flakes. Snow is a wall when you can’t see anything at arm’s length, and only knowing the road well can you navigate and not miss your porch. And the porch in the house is the most dear and important detail; when you see it, you can even risk walking against the headwind, strength appears, and the light on the porch blinks and calls you home.

Not established means of communication, life in fear for relatives and it seemed that you yourself were like a nomad, although you had been in one place for 10 years, but living there, in the North, you felt like you were nomadic, rotating with Globe. And we called Moscow Earth. In the summer we flew to Earth, waited for food from Earth, looked at the weather: “it’s already warmer on Earth”... It was as if we lived in space, or on another planet.

And they ate cloudberries with big spoons... I don’t remember the taste of raspberries, I don’t really like sugary strawberries, but cloudberries - I haven’t eaten them for 5 years, but I remember, I remember how in childhood this taste remained on my lips, in my mouth and the berries were so joyful, happy, candied. But the best thing is the cloudberries, just picked in a bucket, you sit on a backpack in huge tarpaulins, waiting for Carrot to come for you. You are 6 years old, you quietly take one at a time from the bucket, your mother looks, smiles, they say, take it, eat it, they collected it for you, and you no longer hesitate to put a full bite into your mouth, smearing the orange juice on your cheeks.

And the white around in the photo is not snow or frost, it’s YAGEL. Deer food. We tried it in childhood, dry, brittle, but juicy inside and even kind of tasty. And we rode reindeer in sleds when our parents allowed. Near my mother’s office there were sledges, Ilko the Nenets, waiting, and the food that the geologists had prescribed for him in the dining room. And we revolved around him, small, curious - me, Leshka and Alenka. Ilko sat us behind him and drove us around the office until his father came out with groceries. As a child, the Nenets often scared us; they said that if you didn’t obey, they would come and take you away. They were afraid. And they obeyed.

These wooden junctions are heating mains. Huge pipes laid not underground, but on top, to make it warmer, covered with glass wool and wooden boxes. The pipes are hot, but the heating mains froze and turned into an ice strip, you can walk, but if there is wind... They led from house to house and for us they were like pavements. Sometimes, namely between the ZGE and the geologists’ village, pipes were laid three meters above the ground; in winter, two meters of snow usually hid them, but in summer it was scary to walk on them.
In second grade, I was late for Carrot and went home along the heating main. There was a blizzard (not the wind, which is described above, and not snow, but blizzard - this is a special word for the North). Mom almost had a heart attack. I got home, but fell ill with bronchitis.

This is Ob. More precisely, the Gulf of Ob. In the spring. It looks very warm and beautiful, as if at sea. In fact, the water here does not rise above 15 degrees. This is the magical and cold Ob, translated from Nenets as “grandmother river”. My father often fished in my grandmother’s river. Since childhood, I have loved stroganina made from muksun or malosol from nelma.

The heating mains are nearby, but in general it’s June. You don't have to believe me.

The fragile balance of the village has cracked and failed. We were one of the very first to leave - in 1997. Then they gradually began to close the dormitory, the office, the canteen, the kindergarten, and the shops. Now in the village of ZGE there are only 4 apartments left “alive”, people who have nowhere else to go, no relatives, lonely or forced. Or just bad luck.

This is how this summer will look like a homeland that no longer exists.
