History of Peresyp

The history and name of the settlement are related to the peculiarities of its location. Peresyp was founded near the Akhtanizovsky estuary. Once it was a vast lake, separated from the open sea waters by a sandy spit. At the end of the XVIII century, settlements of the Black Sea Cossacks – former Zaporozhians – appeared in these parts. They connected the closed reservoir with the sea by digging a narrow channel, which they called in their own way – “hirlo”. In bad weather, sea waves and wind created new sand deposits that prevented water exchange, and the locals had to clear the channel again and again. It is believed that the phrase “to pour sand” and gave the name to the settlement.

.

At the end of the XVIII century began construction of the Taman Shlach – a postal road connecting Taman and Ekaterinodar. One of the stations on the way of mail delivery was Peresyp, founded at the place of ferry crossing through the Akhtanizovskoye girlo. Initially Cossacks were responsible for the maintenance of the tract, many of them served as postmen. In addition, the locals were engaged in farming and fishing. Every year young Cossacks were sent in batches for military service. After the revolution of 1917, the Cossacks, who served as a stronghold of autocracy, fiercely resisted the establishment of Soviet power on the Taman peninsula. The Bolsheviks did not establish themselves here until 1920.

.

As a result of fierce fighting that shook Taman in 1941-1943 years Peresyp was almost completely destroyed. After the expulsion of the Germans in the only surviving here brick house housed the headquarters of the women’s aviation regiment, which participated in the breakthrough of the “Blue Line” – the defensive system of the Nazis.

From Peresyp yesterday’s graduates of flying clubs flew to night bombardment of enemy positions, for which they were nicknamed Night Witches. The girls were also jokingly called Dunka’s Regiment, after their combat commander Evdokia Bershanskaya. In Peresyp several streets bear the names of legendary pilots, in their honor there is a memorial sign. Not far from it are the burial places of the fallen pilots. The village also implements the project “Nezabudki Peresypy”, dedicated to the history of the regiment.

.

In the 60s of last century on the outskirts of the modern resort archaeologists found traces of an ancient settlement. Based on the historical reports of Strabo and Ptolemy, scientists have suggested that there was an ancient city of Tiramba, founded in the VI century BC. About 300 years later, its fortifications were destroyed, but people still lived here presumably until the III century. Along the coast, almost 1.5 km, stretched the necropolis of the ancient city. In the graves archaeologists found amphorae with cremated remains, rings, beads, bracelets, fibulae. Valuable artifacts are stored in the Taman Archaeological Museum.”

Near Peresyp is also a famous natural attraction – the Valley of Lotuses. In the 1950s from the seeds of rare Indian lotus on the marshy banks of the Akhtanizovsky estuary planted a whole plantation of these beautiful plants. They took root surprisingly easily and grew enormously, becoming an object of admiration for numerous tourists. Back in the days of the USSR in Peresyp were built tourist bases, and today the infrastructure of hospitality was replenished with private mini-hotels, cafes, entertainment centers.

Geography and climate

Peresyp is one of the three settlements that make up the Akhtanizovsky rural settlement. From its administrative center, the village of Akhtanizovskaya, to Peresyp is only 5 km. To the east of it is a small, quiet village Za Rodina, where families with children prefer to rest.

The village is spread along the highway Temryuk – Port Kavkaz, slightly deviating from it and cozily nestled on a narrow strip between two bodies of water. The northern boundaries of Peresyp are facing the coast of the Azov Sea, and the southern boundaries are facing the Akhtanizovsky estuary, one of the largest freshwater bodies of water in the Krasnodar region. Its length at its longest section is about 18 km, maximum width – 8 km. Despite its vast area, the estuary is quite shallow: the average depth is 0.9-1.3 m, the maximum depth is 1.6 m.

Freshwater reservoir became in the first half of the century before last. Then Cossacks from the surrounding settlements dug with the help of primitive tools 32-kilometer channel that connected the estuary with the Kuban River. This branch was named “Cossack Erik”, it flows into the estuary in the northeast, taking away from the Kuban a sixth of its water flow and contributing to the accumulation of muddy sediments at the bottom of the reservoir. In the 19th century, the inflow of fresh water significantly enriched the estuary’s fauna. It became a kind of incubator for young sturgeons, mainly sturgeon. Cossack Yerik is also home to catfish, pikes, pike, crucian carp, perch, and taran. Its banks, overgrown with willows and reeds, are home to crayfish, turtles and snakes.
