Arsky District


 “There are great and very abundant fields on this land... for all sorts of fruits, also the courts of their princes and nobles are very beautiful and truly worthy of surprise, and villages are frequent, and there are so many pieces of bread... and there are many sables beyond the valleys, as well a lot of honey: I don't know where under the sun it would be more...", - wrote in the XVI century about the Arsk region Prince Andrew Kurbsky. Even today, the district is a treasury full of delicious bread, magical stories, and a great sincere love of its residents for their native land.

 According to one version of the toponym "Arsk" came from the Tatar word combination "Kazan Arty" (behind Kazan - editor's note). This territory since ancient times played the role of an outpost - as a Bulgarian fortress in the XIII century, as a new center of Tatar culture, science, economy, and industry in the XVI century. All this in the form of the city of Arsk and large villages of the district. The main buildings of the XIX-XX centuries neighbors with modern buildings, museums - with different sizes of enterprises, and landscaped public spaces - with picturesque corners of the untouched time rural landscape. This environment is best suited to continue traditional craftsmanship or to start a new one. Everything has its place here.

 Catch guaranteed

 The most popular shots on request "Arsk" + "fish farm" is a photo of people in orange jumpsuits catching from a special pond weighing gray and silver-white cupids. This valuable commercial fish has been grown here relatively recently. The company, which was founded more than half a century ago, can integrate into the ever-changing market. The impulse for the next round was the import of trout, salmon, and salmon from abroad.

 Around 170 tons of carp, about 200 tons of thick carp, and about 100 tons of white cupid are grown here per year. Every day the company ships about a ton of fish. The introduction of advanced technology ensures its profitability. Fish productivity, one of the main criteria of efficiency of the farm, reaches 26c/ha. "Arsky Fish Farm participates in the federal program for commercial aquaculture development (commercial fish farming), growing and releasing viable fry in the water area of the republican rivers.


The share of such enterprises belonging to the category of small and medium-sized businesses is almost a third of the gross regional product. Arsky Municipality is interested in the growth of this indicator and is therefore ready to actively promote business in practice. The municipal program for support and development of small and medium- sized businesses is aimed at improving the investment climate. The tools include reducing the time required to provide land plots for use and/or ownership, simplifying the procedure for passing documents for allotment of land plots, obtaining approvals and permits, shifting to a preferential documentary check by supervisory authorities, reducing the number and time of permitting procedures for starting a business, and simplifying the registration procedure. And the best opportunities for project implementation, including suitable state programs that provide for obtaining subsidies, will be suggested by the specialists of the municipality, providing information support and
advice. The initiative and entrepreneurial spirit of Archangels is in their blood and multiplied by love for their work, these qualities bear excellent results. 

 A horse and its people

 Horses, decorated with flowers and ribbons, are harnessed in festively cleaned carts. They parade in front of many spectators. Then starts the race. The audience is especially ill when the race of "village jigit" with the participation of local horses. There is also a concert, a fair, folk amusements and much more. So, in Arsk, for example, which year already celebrates the Day of the horse.

The local highway is one of the best in the republic, and to Kazan, Arsk quite close - about 70 kilometers. In the first years, races were held at distances of 40 and 80 kilometers. Then the competition received international status, a distance of 120 km was introduced. Prize funds - from 80 to 200 thousand rubles. The Arsk races are very popular, participants come from neighboring regions, from abroad. 

 - To say that horse racing is popular, we have to show ourselves on the Russian scale. For the last two years, we have been organizing competitions of Tatar horses (except for purebred and half-bred horses - editor's note). We do a lot for their popularization. It is necessary to make that other breeders also wanted to take horses of our Tatar breed, - the constant guest of the holiday, the Prime Minister of Tatarstan Vasil Shaikhraziev told mass media. The seriousness of such intentions is confirmed at the republican level: the decision of the Ministry of Agriculture of Tatarstan agricultural enterprises, farmers, individual entrepreneurs engaged in breeding of the Tatar breed of horses reimbursed 60% of the cost of purchasing horses of this breed. There are also plans to reimburse part of the cost of breeding the breeding stock - 20 thousand rubles per head. The breed is registered in the state register. Today more than 400 horses of Tatar breed are registered in the republic.

 Green, small, crispy

 And Arsk has everything necessary to become the main national cucumber day celebration site. There are several greenhouse farms in the district. One of the largest by area is located in the village of Lower Aty. Its owner, Damir Haliullin, is distinguished not only by his exceptional diligence and integrity but also by his desire to try and find new interesting agricultural solutions.


- Salted cucumber should be small and crispy, - explains the farmer to journalists. Cucumber pickles in barrels in industrial volumes (the farm is ready to sell up to 100 tons of salted cucumbers per month) is a kind of diversification of the main direction, the know-how that Haliullin learned from his colleagues from Chuvash Republic. In his time, the farmer traveled a lot on different domestic farms, studied the experience, figured out how it can be applied in the Tatarstan climate. Now the area of his greenhouses reaches 7 hectares. Most of it is heated. From one hectare Damir Haliullin receives about 100 tons of cucumbers and about 120 tons of tomatoes. Besides, he grows cabbage and strawberries. During the season, plantations on the open ground are added to the greenhouse plantings. The farm employs about 100 workers.

 A fairy tale that does not let go

 "We came here for lunch on the way from the Gabdulla Tukay Estate Museum. Unobtrusive beautiful views, clean water, beautiful houses - it is clear that a copy, but not a rough, not cutting eye. We managed to ride a boat and a catamaran. In general, there is a lot of fun. I don't think I'll get there yet, but then I truly wanted to exchange return tickets and stay for a few days!" - writes a Moscow guest, who visited the tourist complex "Fishermen's Village" with her family. The complex is located 8 kilometers from Arsk. Its zest is its fishing pond with an area of 5.5 hectares. Here you can catch the most famous Arsk silver carp, carp, grass carp… Now the “Fishing Village” is being reformatted into a children's and youth health camp. Meanwhile, the tourist potential of the Arsky district is enormous.

 One of the main objects of the potential tourist route in Arsky district is the museum of Gabudlla Tukay, Tatarstan's favorite national poet, in the village of Novy Kyrlai. Born in another Arsk village Koshlauch, Tukay spent several years of his childhood in picturesque Kyrlai. It is said that it was here, on the bank of a small river under the shadow of shady trees, among the tall herbs, that the poet came up with images of national folk heroes, which conquered readers around the world.


Fairytale bile grew out of these legends - the manor residence of Kysh Babay and Kar Kyzy - Tatar Santa Claus and Snow Maiden. Two months a year, fairytale heroes receive guests. Kysh Babay signs a festive scroll with a special stamp and a personal seal for each of them, and then, together with Kar Kyzy, gives presents. Adults and children are skated from the ice slides, carried on a sleigh, in which three beautiful horses are harnessed.
