Summary

  • This almanac, published in January 1926, attempts to provide all the information residents of the city of Blagoveshchensk would need to know for the coming year. The first section gives an overview of the history of the city, including the history of the Russian Civil War and Russian Revolution in the area, along with an overview of the physical features and industry of the region. The second section gives details about the political, administrative, and communist party structures of the area and the trade union and cooperative organizations. It also lists important memorials, markets, streets, and squares. The almanac ends with advertisements for factories and shops in the city. Blagoveshchensk was founded in 1856 as a supply post to provision troops along the Amur. It was reclassified as a town in 1858. Its population grew very quickly in the last half of the 19th century, owing to the city's strategic and commercial importance on the Amur River. The almanac is preserved in the collections of the Russian State Library and was digitized for the Meeting of Frontiers digital library project in the early 2000s. World Digital Library.
