Name

On the territory of Ukraine there are 3 settlements with the name.

There are different versions of the origin of the name Konotop.

The first legend says that during the crossing of the swamps by the Tatar cavalry, many horses and warriors died in these places, therefore the place was called Konotop - a swampy place or a ford in which horses got muddy and drowned.

Another legend explains the connection of the name with the incident with the queen, whose carriage and escort got stuck in a swamp. The queen was saved, and the treasures were drowned. The queen, having got out, said: “What kind of place is this, where horses drown?” This is probably where the name Konotop came from.

The third legend connects the name of the city with the hydronym Konotopka - the name of the river that flowed near the settlement. This river has dried up, instead of it now there is an artificially created watercourse - Ezuch.

Story

Base

The oldest monuments of the Konotop lands are archeological monuments: temporary settlements of tribes, settlements, mounds, settlements, starting from the Neolithic era in Kievan Rus. Near the village of Shapovalovka in 1877-1878. mammoth bones and a stone knife were found, which are stored today in the local history museum of Konotop.

The exact year of the appearance of Konotop is still unknown. Konotop local historian Ivan Lysy suggested that Konotop was the capital of the annalistic Lipetsk principality in the 13th century and was called Lipovitsk. In the "Historical and statistical description of the Chernihiv province" Filaret (Gumilevsky) suggests that the city existed even before the invasion of the Mongol-Tatars. As a result of archaeological research conducted in 1997-1998, the existence of a settlement from the time of the Chernigov Principality is possible here.

After the decline of Kievan Rus', the Konotop lands were captured by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and as a result of the Union of Lublin in 1569 passed to the Kingdom of Poland. These lands became the subject of border disputes between the Commonwealth and the Tsardom of Russia.

Constant military disputes and conflicts between Poland and Russia over territory led to the need to agree on borders. Russia insisted that the Konotop lands belonged to the Putivl district, so the border in the Konotop region was not defined. Border disputes continued until the construction of a fortress in Konotop.

In 1635, the Polish gentry Podkova established the Novoselitsa estate. In 1637, the Commonwealth built a fortification at the confluence of two rivers - the Jezucha and. The fortress was built on the site of an old "detinets", to the north of Novoselitsa - exactly on the lands that belonged to Putivl resident Nikifor Yatsina. In 1640, the fortifications, by order of the Novgorod-Seversky headman A. Pyasochinsky, were rebuilt into a fortress. It had a quadrangular shape, shafts and walls reinforced with wood. The length of each of the walls of the fortress was approximately 100 fathoms (more than 200 m). Three gates led to the fortress: Kyiv, Putivl and Romen. The remains of the ramparts and the place where the castle was, have survived to this day.

17th century

In 1648 it was given the status of a city. During the years of the uprising of Bogdan Khmelnitsky 1648-1654. Konotop becomes a hundred city. Konotop of the middle of the 17th century is a small town, surrounded by an earthen rampart and a palisade, located on the left marshy bank of the Ezuch River. The first settlers of the Konotop region were free people, but gradually the Cossack elders enslaved the Cossacks, took away the land and forced them to work for themselves. Large landowners appeared.

Through the lands of the Konotop region in the 17th century. Russian embassies passed by, they were solemnly greeted in Konotop and nearby villages. Relations were especially livened up after Hetman B. Khmelnitsky addressed the Russian Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich with a proposal to join the struggle for the Polish throne after the death of the Polish King Vladislav IV. On April 2, 1649, the inhabitants of the city welcomed the Russian embassy headed by I. Unkovsky, who arrived for negotiations with the Cossack ataman B. Khmelnitsky. 5 miles before the city, the envoys were met by the centurion of Konotop and over 100 Cossacks with flags: "... and in the city there were people on foot on both sides with a gun, and as they entered the city, they fired from cannons in the city." After the Bila Tserkva Treaty of 1651, the gentry were allowed to return to their estates in the Chernihiv Voivodeship, to the Kiev and Bratslav regions. As soon as the Polish gentry appeared near the walls of the fortification, the inhabitants of Konotop left the city and went to Putivl. There, the Russian administration provided land to the fugitives for settlement. In 1652, after the victory of the troops of B. Khmelnitsky near Batog, an avalanche of anti-Polish uprisings swept. The residents of Konotop also rose to the fight, drove the gentry out of the city and killed the headman of Sosnovsky along with his family. The so-called "Konotop miracle", described in the Chronicle of the Seer, is connected with these events. According to legend, after the expulsion of the Polish garrison, the headman Sosnowski with his wife and five children remained in the fortress to live. The rebellious residents of Konotop accused the headman of treason and killed him along with his family, and threw the bodies into the well, where they lay for three months. On the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, the water in the well suddenly rose 20 meters and raised the bodies of the dead, without signs of decay at all. Only after they were buried, according to Christian custom, near the well, did the water go down.

After Vygovsky signed the Gadyach Treaty, Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich sends an army under the command of Prince Grigory Romodanovsky, and then another army - Alexei Trubetskoy. A war begins between the Hetmanate and the Russian Tsardom.

On April 21, 1659, the siege of Konotop began, in which the Cossacks, led by Colonel Grigory Gulyanitsky, defended themselves. On June 27, 1659, Ivan Vyhovsky came to the aid of the city with an army, and on June 28, the Battle of Konotop (another name is the Sosnovskaya battle) took place, in which the allied army of Crimean Tatars and Vyhovsky's Cossacks defeated the Russian army. The swampy terrain put the Moscow cavalry and artillery in a difficult position. Two rear strikes, one was delivered by the Horde from an ambush in the Pustaya Torgovitsa tract, the second by Vygovsky with the Cossacks in the area of ​​​​the current village of Shapovalovka, and they decided the outcome of the battle. During the battle, up to 7,000 Moscow troops died, including 2,000 Cossacks of Hetman Ivan Bespaly, the losses of the Crimean Tatars ranged from 3,000 to 6,000, the losses of Vygovsky - 4,000 Cossacks.

The main branch of agriculture of the local peasants was farming, they sowed wheat, rye, buckwheat, oats and millet. Cossack foremen, wealthy Cossacks and philistines were engaged in flour-grinding. There were two dams on the Konotopka River, where 2 water mills operated. On June 17, 1672, the Cossack Rada took place in the village of Cossack, and judge general Ivan Samoylovich was elected hetman of the Left Bank Land. It was accepted and signed contractual terms - Konotop articles. Since that time, immigrants from the Right-Bank Lands - Kandyby, Lyzoguby, Radichi, Harevichi - began to move to the lands of Konotop. When in 1674 the postal connection between the Left-Bank Land and Moscow was established, the postal route Moscow - Putivl - Kyiv passed through the Konotop region.

At the beginning of the XX century. Konotop becomes one of the important industrial centers of the Left-Bank Ukraine. Difficult working conditions, cruel exploitation of workers, low social living conditions revolted the workers. Thus, in 1899, a demonstration by workers in defense of their social rights was organized at the Main Railway Workshops. More than 600 people took part in it. In 1900, the first social democratic group arose, whose representatives were engaged in propaganda work among the workers of the railway workshops.

Major General V.G. Kostenetsky for the courage shown in the Battle of Borodino was awarded the Order of George III degree and a gilded sword with the inscription "For Courage". Until that time, the battle flag of the militia was preserved in the city in 1812. The glorious traditions of the defenders of the motherland were developed by the inhabitants of Konotop during the Second World War of 1941-1945. At the end of August in 1941, the Konotop partisan detachment was created, which later joined the Putivl detachment under the command of Kolpak and became part of the Sumy partisan formation.
