He, like a man, has his own appearance, his own destiny, his own history. The city enchants with unique monuments of provincial antiquity, wooden mansions. Nikolsk is a truly northern city. The city-worker, the city-guardian of traditions. There is a historical memory, wise concentration, slowness in business and undertakings, which give confidence in the future. There is no blatant arrogance in its decoration, which is characteristic of capital cities. Nikolsk is a small town, but with every step of its history it established the foundations of the state for several generations of citizens. The nature of the region amazes with its simple northern beauty, which is impossible to forget, having visited here at least once. Short story The oldest consumer society in Nikolsky district is the Nikolskoye City Consumer Society, which was founded in 1897, and it is also one of the first societies in the Vologda province. The organizer of this society was a local teacher - Ya.D. Dobroumov, who, in his essay on the tenth anniversary of the Society, indicates that the organizational work to create the Society was begun by him in 1897. In the early days of its existence, as mentioned in the essay itself, the members of the society included "prominent" residents of the city of Nikolsk. 57 people of the society in 1898 had a share capital of 2,580 rubles. 50 kopecks., On average, one person accounted for 45 rubles - the amount at that time is very large. From the summary of data already in 1904, we saw that in the future this Society served the requests, mainly, of the bureaucratic element in the city of Nikolsk; of 118 members there were - "88 officials, 10 priests, 3 merchants, 3 clerks, 5 bourgeoisie, 4 peasants and 5 institutions." These data fully establish the composition of the Society - it was an organization consisting mainly of employees of various government agencies. The first consumer cooperation store was located on Millionnaya (Sovetskaya) Street in the city center. According to the memoirs of I.I. Baev, the store had a high level of service. The goods were packed in special bags, and handles were screwed to large bags. In this store, goods were sold on credit according to intake books, which were issued only to members of the consumer society. The first rural consumer society was founded in 1907 in the village. Shonge, Shogsko-Nikolaevsky volost. It was one community in the district, which arose 10 years after the Nikolsky society. The local rural intelligentsia took an active part in organizing it. In 1917, the Nikolsky District Union of Consumer Societies was formed. On May 15, 1917, the first Constituent Assembly of Plenipotentiaries of the Union of Cooperatives of Nikolsky District was convened, to which 23 representatives attended. The first task of the Assembly was to revise the approved charter and harmonize it with the changed state system. Then the meeting decided: to form a single central Union with the seat of the Management Board in Nikolsk, with the opening of one wholesale warehouse to supply union companies with such goods that firms do not sell in small quantities and are necessary for each company in small amounts. The first budget estimate of the union was set at 24,000 rubles. The composition of the Board of the Union is set at five members, of which three members must be in Nikolsk, and two members in the county. In 1997 the Nikolskoe regional consumer society was created in the form of reorganization. Photo gallery News | Regional Consumer Union | Contacts | All rights reserved © Oblpotrebsoyuz, 2012
