History edit

Background edit

The eastern border of Volga Bulgaria lay between the Sheshma and Zai rivers in the 11th century.[11] In the Middle Ages, a branch from the Great Silk Road to the ancient city of Syudum passed through the territory of the modern Zainsky district. Zainsk became a fortress city in 1652.[12][13][14] A part of the Polotsk Szlachta were sent here, having decided to stay in Russia after the war with Poland. The Szlachta gained land and peasants in this territory instead of monetary compensation. The Smolensk Szlachta were also a significant part of the Zainsk landowners.[15]

These lands became part of the Kazan province after the Russian administrative reforms of 1708. The territories were transferred to the administration of Orenburg in 1744 until they subsequently became part of the Ufa province in 1865.[13]

The peasants of the Zainsk volost were freed from arrears of previous years due to the land reforms of Pyotr Stolypin in 1906 and local government began to encourage the relocation of farmers to their own lands. New villages appeared during this period: Bugulda, Vinokourovka, Krasny Yar, and others. Each peasant farm had at least nine acres of arable land and pastures. At the same time, 13 landowner families owned almost half of the volost's land.[15]

The territory of the Zainsky district was part of the Menzelinsky district of the Ufa province until 1920. The Menzelinsky district became part of the newly formed Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic as cantons of the same name in 1920. These territories were transferred to the Chelninsky canton in 1922.[16]

Zainsky district was formed on February 10, 1935.[16] A railway line Bugulma - Zainsk - Krugloye Pole was built near Zainsk in 1956. An asphalt road connected Almetyevsk and Leninogorsk with river docks on the Kama. The construction of industrial buildings and a cooling reservoir of the Zainsk regional state power plant began on the left bank of the Stepnoy Zai in 1956.[7][15]

Part of the territory of the abolished Aktanyshsky district was annexed to the Zainsky district on March 26, 1959.[17][16][18] The district was abolished on February 1, 1963 and its territory was joined to the Almetyevsky and Chelninsky districts, but the district would be reestablished on February 1, 1972.[18]

The village of Stary Tokmak in the Zainsk region is known for being the landing site of the space descent vehicle No. 1 which landed nearby it with the dog Chernushka on board in March 9, 1961.[19][20]

Municipal and administrative status edit

The Zainsky municipal district has 1 urban and 22 rural settlements containing 86 smaller settlements. The administrative centers of the rural settlements are the villages: Aksarino, Aleksandrovskaya Sloboda, Sredniy Bagryazh, Begishevo, Bukharay, Verkhniy Nalim, Verkhniye Pinyachi, Verkhniye Shipki, Gulkino, Durt-Muncha, Kadyrovo, Nizhneye Bishevo, Novospassk, Popovka, Poruchikovo, Savaleyevo, Sarmash-Bash, Svetloye Ozero, Staroye Mavrino, Tyugeyevka, Ursayevo, and Chubukly.

Rinat Fardiev became the head of the Zainsky district administration in 1999. Municipal reforms gave birth to municipalities in Russia in 2006, after which Rinat Fadiev became the head of the Zainsky municipal district. He held this position until his death in 2008. The position of head of the district was then taken by Tatyana Voropaeva in 2009 until 2015 when the district was headed by Razif Karimov. Karimov was re-elected for a second term in 2020.[21][22][23][24]

The plant was purchased by the German company "Mefro wheels" in 2013, after which the plant got the new name "Mefro Wheels Russia Zainsk Plant". The enterprise was closed in 2018. "Accuride Wheels Russia" became its successor.[28][25]
