Krasnovodsk latest videos. International seaport
The city of Krasnovodsk owes its appearance to Russian sailors, namely the Russian expedition, led by Lieutenant Colonel Nikolai Grigoryevich Stoletov. It happened in 1869, as a result of the journey of Russian sailors, the purpose of which was to choose a place on the shore of the Caspian Sea for the future city. However, due to a strong storm that scattered all three ships that were part of the expedition over the sea, the time of their arrival in the bay of the future city was significantly different. Thus, the first vessel landed on 31 October and the last on 6 November. In this regard, disputes arise as to when exactly the city of Krasnovodsk Turkmenistan was founded. And, despite the fact that in 1993 the city was renamed Turkmenbashi, for many it has always remained Krasnovodsk.
The choice of the city's founding site
The choice of the territory on which the city was built was not accidental, since the bay was the most comfortable for people's lives. This was due, first of all, to the fact that the water in it did not freeze even in the winter season, and besides, it was protected from the winds. Therefore, it was the wild coast of the bay that became the site for the construction of the Factoria fortress and the fortified fort. 
Today there is a local museum on the site of the fort. This place was explored back in the time of Peter I, and meanwhile, Krasnovodsk is far from the only capital of the Central Asian states, which was founded by the Russians, who occupied the territories in those days.
So, after the Russian sailors landed on the shore, they systematically extended their influence on the development of trade with local residents, as well as the culture of relations with them. In addition, they undertook the rebuilding of settlements, which today, among the many new buildings of Turkmenbashi, attract the attention of tourists.
Modern Turkmenbashi
Unfortunately, very few architectural structures founded in the distant past have survived to this day. The reason for this may be the devastating effects of the wars that also affected this glorious city, or insufficient attention from the people who inhabit it - it is difficult to judge. However, despite the fact that time has made its own adjustments to the architecture of the city, it still remains interesting from a historical and cultural point of view. In addition, due to the fact that Turkmenbashi has every chance to become a tourist center of this country, the relevance of its future is coming to the fore. Of course, the absolute truth is the rule regarding the interconnectedness of the past and the future, as well as the dependence of the future on the past. In the context of this rule, it is important to remember history and respect its monuments. And there are plenty of them in this city. According to rather ambitious forecasts, Turkmenbashi can reach the status of Antalya, and perhaps even surpass it.
Despite the fact that many historical monuments are of great interest to tourists, their number is gradually decreasing. Alas, this is how the world works, and it is quite natural that, as a tribute to the times, the territories of the capital of Turkmenistan, where the ruins of the old city were located until recently, are being built up with modern buildings and institutions that meet the requirements of the new time. And in this regard, there will certainly be supporters of leaving inviolable historical places cities and ensure their integrity as a cultural asset of the country. At the same time, many will certainly support the government's initiatives aimed at updating the city's infrastructure and raising its level of comfort to a modern one.
Transport links of Turkmenbashi
A prerequisite for the development of any city is the availability of a transport support system. 
In this matter, Turkmenbashi is a wealthy city, since on its territory there is Train Station, airport, and sea trade port. The architecture of the station deserves special attention, which is executed in the Moorish style and is one of the most outstanding in the country. auspicious geographical location the city contributed to the development of the Sea Trade Port of Turkmenbashi. Today the port has more than 10 marinas. The administrative department of the port "Turkmendenizderyayollary", which is designed in the form of a ship, has recently become a new decoration of the city. The variety of routes of Turkmen ships has increased significantly recently, now they go to the sea gates of Gibraltar. Also, a very thorough reconstruction touched the port itself. The growing popularity of transportation by sea has forced the port authorities to upgrade the port equipment, and first of all, the cranes used for loading. The following equipment is in the arsenal of the port:
- German Liebherr truck crane, the control of this crane is fully computerized, and its lifting capacity is 500 tons;
- autocars "Komatsu";
- trucks "Mazmany";
- Kalmar forklifts
It is expected that after the construction of the new port, which will meet the highest international standards, it will open its doors to numerous foreign ships, tourist cruise liners, yachts and other vessels.
Also, it should be noted that in the construction huge complex(Palace of Culture of Oil Workers) in 1951, captured Japanese were involved.
Undoubtedly, the main asset of the city of Krasnovodsk Turkmenistan is the sea, which attracts numerous armies of tourists. Turkmenistan Krasnovodsk has been gaining popularity lately in many respects thanks to it. And in the event that there is a question of choosing where to spend a vacation with your family, you should consider visiting this famous city that will impress even sophisticated tourists.

Station Bakhmi Transcaspian railway in 1890
The first attempt to consolidate the Russian Empire on east coast The Caspian dates back to 1716, when Prince Bekovich-Cherkassky founded a fortification on the coast of the Krasnovodsk Bay (“at the mouth of the Uzboy”), preparing a campaign against Khiva. The fortification had a kronverk, was surrounded by a moat and a rampart. They were armed with guns. The garrison numbered up to 1000 people, but the death rate from disease was very high. The commandant of the fortress was Colonel von der Wieden.

Now, at the location of the fort, there is the village of Kenar (part of the city of Turkmenbashi). The place where Krasnovodsk was founded was called Shaga-dam. The fort was used as a base for operations against the Turkmen nomads and for campaigns against the Bukhara and Khiva khanates. The Transcaspian region was formed, Krasnovodsk was its center before the construction of Ashgabat (see Central Asian possessions of the Russian Empire). It was a small town inhabited by Russian military and officials, as well as merchants - Persians and Armenians. After the construction of the Trans-Caspian Railway, which started from Krasnovodsk, from Central Asia via ferry to Baku in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Krasnovodsk developed into an important transport center and began to grow.

History of Turkmenbashi
Turkmenbashi is a relatively young city. It was founded in 1869 Russian expedition led by Lieutenant Colonel Nikolai Grigorievich Stoletov. Exactly 140 years ago, in the month of October, the Russians went to the open sea and headed exactly here to create a city on the coast of the Caspian Sea. But by chance, during their voyage, there was a strong storm, and all the ships were scattered across the sea. Therefore, each ship arrived in the Krasnovodsk Bay at different times. The first moored in Muraviev Bay on October 31, the second on November 3 and the third on November 6. And for this reason, the date of the founding of the city of Krasnovodsk is a controversial issue: each of the three can be considered significant and chosen as the birthday of a new wonderful city in Turkmenistan. Here, on the wild coast of the Krasnovodsk Bay, it was decided to build a fortress - a trading post. This bay seemed to the builders the most favorable location for the new city, since it almost never freezes and is protected from strong winds on all sides. Even under Peter I, these places were examined and described by the associates of the leader of the first expedition, Prince Bekovich-Cherkassky. In a new place, a new fortress and a fortified fort were laid. All that remained of it was a blockhouse battery, where the local museum is now located.
Like many other centers of the state, Krasnovodsk owes its origin to the Russians who occupied this Central Asian territory. So, the sailors who landed on the shore began to build here not just a settlement, but a whole system of trade, economic and cultural relations with the local Turkmen tribes.
Today, the attention of tourists in Turkmenbashi can be attracted not only by modern new buildings that are being built so actively, but also by some old buildings and structures that can tell about the past of the city.
Each city has its own history, keeps the old secrets of life and, of course, Turkmenbashi is no exception to this historical rule. Unfortunately, many of the tasks of past years have not been preserved in this territory. The reason for this, perhaps, was some specific circumstances, such as aggressive or defensive wars, destroying everything in its path, leaving nothing but a pile of ashes. Or maybe the blame for everything was the people themselves, who failed to do so little - to preserve their heritage left to them by their ancestors, in fact, their own forefathers; or maybe it happened due to someone's misunderstanding of the essence of historical value and the attractiveness of antiquity. Who knows? And who is to judge now? But the main task now is to try to save at least what is left. Moreover, at the moment the city of Turkmenbashi claims to become a large tourist centre countries. And for this he has all the prerequisites. While the city lives with the future that may open up before it, the time when it finally reaches the desired goal - to become a second Antalya or even something more.
Of course, for tourists, the favorite places to visit are ancient historical monuments of bygone times. But every day there are less and less places like this. The past of the region inevitably rushes to nowhere. On the site of the ruins of the old city, new buildings are being erected - modern hotels and administrative buildings. Of course, such measures taken by the state also cannot be ignored, because Turkmenbashi is modern city modern state, which also needs to develop, move forward, and not live in constant memory of the past. But, in any case, this question is a double-edged sword, in which any decision made will not be welcomed by the masses, such is human nature.
Any seaside city always begins with the station and the seaport. The Moorish-style Turkmenbashi station was built in 1895-96, but, unfortunately, neither the architect nor the manufacturer of the work has yet been clarified. The station building is one of the most beautiful in the entire railway of Central Asia. Station Square is adjacent to the memorial to the soldiers who died during the war.
The sea trade port in Turkmenbashi developed very quickly. About a dozen marinas were built. And recently, the original building of the Turkmendenizderyayollary port administration was erected in the form of a ship at sea.
Not so long ago, the construction of a new international seaport was planned. Turkmen ships have recently mastered many sea routes, up to the sea gates of Gibraltar. And the port itself is developing rapidly. Frontal modernization of gantry cranes and seagoing vessels is being carried out. A radical reconstruction of port facilities, logistics centers and oil terminals is underway. With the increase in the volume of transportation by sea, the most powerful German-made truck crane "Liebherr" with computer control and a lifting capacity of up to 500 tons has already been put into operation in the port. Such a truck crane is the pride of any port in the world. Cargo terminals with a volume of 5,000 cubic meters serve Komatsu trucks and 20-ton Mazmana trucks, while Kalmar 40-ton forklifts are used to transport heavy sea containers.
The new port, which is being built in accordance with modern international standards, will receive both foreign ships and ships for sea cruises, yachts and other ships, which will soon replenish the National fleet of Turkmenistan.
In 1951, a large complex of the oil workers' palace of culture was built, in the construction of which Japanese prisoners of war were also taken.
Well, the main pride of Turkmenbashi, of course, is the sea. Everyone is in love with him - both visitors and locals. Such a miracle of nature cannot leave anyone indifferent.
Turkmenbashi-Krasnovodsk is really unique and beautiful city. And if you decide to visit Turkmenistan, a trip to this city should be on your list first.

Avaza - actively developing seaside resort located 12 km west of the city center.
Mosque Parau-bibi. Small white mosque Parau-bibi - sacred place Muslim pilgrimages. She stands all alone on one of the rocks of the Kopetdag.
There is a beautiful legend dedicated to the history of the mosque. According to this legend, Parau-bibi was a beautiful Turkmen woman who lived in one of the villages. Somehow they promised to give her at the mercy of the advancing enemies. Fleeing, she fled to the mountains and prayed. Then the rock parted and hid Parau-Bibi forever. This is where the mosque was built. A curved staircase leads to the mosque. Halfway through, you can see the imprints in the rock that Parau-bibi left: from the knee, elbow, finger and forehead. Today, hundreds of women come to a small mosque and ask Parau-bibi, the patroness of pregnant women and children, to help them preserve their beauty, find a good husband and many children.
Also, according to legend, lying a little further away, several sickle-shaped stones used to be pieces of melon, which Parau-bibi threw in a panic at the approaching enemies. According to custom, young women step on these stones. If the stone begins to rotate, then everything will be fine. If it does not rotate, then in a year you have to try again, returning to these beautiful places.
Shir-Kabib Mausoleum. At 6 km from Dehistan there is an ancient burial place of Mashad - a Muslim necropolis with the famous mausoleum of Ali ibn Sukkari or "Shir-Kabir" located in the center. The monument belongs to the buildings of the prestigious Serah architectural school and dates back to the 10th century. The walls of the building, made of square mud bricks, were decorated from base to dome with carved ganch with scrolls, leaf patterns and Kufic inscriptions, and painted in blue, red and pistachio green.
"Shir-Kabir" is also called the mosque "on wooden pillars". This is the oldest mosque preserved on the territory of Turkmenistan. Moreover, the unique carved mihrab (chapel) oriented towards Mecca, consisting of three niches inscribed into each other, suggests that this mausoleum, first of all, was used precisely as a mosque, and not just as a tomb.
Unfortunately, "Shir-Kabir" has been repeatedly reconstructed; elements of decor of the 10th century have been preserved in its interior. And the interior decoration still bears the imprint of grandeur and beauty.
This place is also a shrine for pilgrims who, having visited it, claimed that after Mecca, this is the only place on earth blessed by Allah.
Caravanserai Tasharvat. picturesque ruins the Tasharvat caravanserai lies 38 km from the city of Balkanabat, the capital of the Balkan velayat. During the functioning of the Great Silk Road, the caravanserai was of great importance for the caravans passing by, in which they made a stop on the way of their long wanderings.
The building of the caravanserai is a rectangular fortification with a stone wall, inside which are the ruins of a residential building. Near the caravanserai there was a grove of elms with 100 trees. The first mention of the fortification of Tasharvat was found in 1871-1872. Archaeological studies have shown that the building was inhabited at the end of the 19th century.
Dehistan is a clayey, waterless plain in the southwest of Turkmenistan near the Caspian Sea. But this area was not always so deserted and inconspicuous. Once upon a time, during its heyday, life was in full swing here, gardens were blooming, fields were green, surrounded by life-giving waters of rivers. Already in the 3rd millennium BC. this territory was actively developed by the first farmers who came here, and in the 3-6 centuries, numerous Turkic tribes began to come to the oasis irrigated by the Atrek River: Saks, Massagets, Hephthalites. But the most powerful tribal union was headed by the Dakhs (hence the name of the area), who created large fortified strongholds and settlements (Shadur-kala, Akga-kala).
Misrian is a settlement located on the territory of Dehistan and is its largest historical monument. Only the ruins of this huge settlement have come down to us, but even from them we can say that at one time it was a place with the highest level of cultural development. The city consisted of shahristan (citadel), rabat (suburb) and densely populated quarters of artisans surrounding it from all sides. true dimensions ancient city not clearly established, since there is not enough information about it. In the 10-13 centuries, the citadel was surrounded by a powerful fortress wall, which was guarded by two rows of sentinels.
Misrian can be considered the center of the craft. This is evidenced by the remains of hundreds of workshops that produced first-class bricks, bronze cauldrons, lamps, other metal products, beautiful, including faience, glazed ceramics. The latter impresses with the abundance and the highest artistic level of ornamental and narrative painting. All kinds of glass products were also produced in a large assortment, and master jewelers created their masterpieces from precious metals and were distinguished by high professionalism and refined taste in artistic stone processing. In addition, a water supply system perfect for its time, numerous baths, and city sewerage were also found in Misrian, which is an indicator of a developed urban culture.
Relatively preserved monuments of Dehistan are two twenty-meter minarets. It is interesting that, being only 120 m apart, they, judging by the surviving inscriptions, were built with an interval of almost 200 years.
From one, probably the cathedral mosque, only two pilots of the portal remained with a delightful rich decoration of the vegetable epigraphic style using polychrome glaze of the highest quality.
During the reign of the Khorezmshahs, the city managed to experience a rapid flourishing, but was subsequently destroyed to the ground by the Mongol troops. In the 15th century the city died forever.
