Taldom
Taldom (Russian: Та́лдом) is a town in Moscow Oblast, Russia, located 110 kilometers (68 mi) north of Moscow, on a suburban railway connecting Moscow to Savyolovo. Population: 13,819 (2010 census); 13,334 (2002 census); 14,410 (1989 Soviet census).
Between 1918 and 1929, it was known as Leninsk.
Taldom was founded in 1677.[citation needed]
After the October Revolution, using the 2 million rubles received from the "extraordinary one-time tax on property" in March 1918 "for the needs of the Executive Committee," the first passenger car was purchased in Taldom (it was scrapped in the summer of 1918). Using the same funds, in March 1918, the construction of a city power plant began (it began operating in 1923). At the end of April, printing equipment was purchased, and a printing house, a bookbinding workshop, and a bookstore were organized in the "3-story stone building of Klychkova's workshop, rented for 600 rubles per month." On 1 May 1918, the first issue of the newspaper Peasant and Worker was published in this printing house.
By the decision of the Presidium of the Tver Provincial Executive Committee of 3 December 1918, the village of Taldom was renamed the city of Leninsk—the first town to be renamed after Vladimir Lenin (who was still alive then) — and the Taldom volost was renamed Leninskaya.[citation needed] In response to the "petitions of the population" of the volosts of the Tver, Moscow, and Vladimir provinces adjacent to Leninsk and economically connected with the production of footwear, on 15 August 1921, by decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, a new Leninsky District was formed as part of the Moscow province with its center in the city of Leninsk.
During the years of the civil war and war communism, the shoe trade of the residents of Taldom declined sharply. Only during the New Economic Policy did handicraft shoe production begin to revive, but it did not reach its former scale. As the NEP was winding down, the shoe industry declined again, and by the mid-1930s, it disappeared completely. In 1923, the city was electrified.
In 1929–1930, during the period of district administrative division, Leninsk (Taldom) belonged to Kimrky District of Moscow Obast.
In November 1930, after another reorganization of the administrative division, two districts with the name Leninsky appeared in Moscow Oblast, and Leninsk (Taldom) was renamed Sobtsovsk, in honor of the local "expropriator of expropriators" Nikolai Sobtsov, who was killed in May 1918 during an anti-Bolshevik hunger riot in Taldom. However, the name Sobtsovsk lasted less than six months - the central authorities did not approve it due to the dubiousness of Sobtsov's Bolshevism. In March 1931, the city returned to its historical name, Taldom; the district, accordingly, began to be called Taldomsky.
