Story

In the vicinity of Kirovo-Chepetsk, sites of people from the Mesolithic era - 7th millennium BC are found. Upstream the Cheptsa, in Krivoborye, there was a settlement of the Ananino archaeological culture. In 1992, during bank protection work, an excavator bucket removed a layer of earth, revealing, as archaeologists later established, a burial site from the end of the 13th century. The environs of the future Kirovo-Chepetsk began to be settled by Russians, more precisely, by the Old Russian population, back in the 12th century. Archaeological monuments discovered in the vicinity of the city date back to this time (XII-XV centuries) - the Krivoborsk settlement and the Ust-Chepetsk burial ground. Since that time, this area has been part of the Vyatka Land. The first news of the settlement of Russian people at the mouth of the Cheptsa dates back to 1405. For the first time, the “Chepetsk Stan”, on the territory of which Kirovo-Chepetsk is now located and the “capital” of which in those years was the Ust-Chepetsk churchyard, is mentioned in the charter of Vasily III to the Karin Tatar Devlektyar dated December 18, 1510. And the graveyard itself is described in the fiscal Watch Book of Vyatka cities and districts of Prince Zvenigorod in 1615. On July 1, 1615, he had three churches - the warm Rozhdestvensko-Bogoroditskaya with the Peter and Paul chapel, the cold Nikolskaya and Georgievskaya “under the bell tower,” of which Nikolskaya was considered the main one. In 1615-1629, the Ust-Chepetsky churchyard developed as the administrative and religious center of the Chepetsk camp of the Khlynovsky district. It occupied a small territory, on which there were more than 20 courtyards. In 1786 there were 248 households in the village, in 1805 - 313 households, population 1506 people. In 1926, the village had 741 inhabitants. The growth of the village and the increase in its population was facilitated by the discovery in 1929 of large reserves of peat in its vicinity.

City streets

When naming urban development objects in the city, several classifying terms are used: street, avenue, passage, alley, square. There is no strict definition of the applicability of various terms in the regulations of local self-government, and there is also no toponymic register of city names. In practice, there is a confusion in the use of terms (avenue - street; passage - lane, etc.)

The history of a number of city streets goes back to settlements that were included within its boundaries (the streets of the working-class village of Kirovo-Chepetsky, the village of Ust-Cheptsa, etc.) A number of former settlements now form city blocks, some retain their former name villages, having lost the status of a populated area.

The residential area of ​​the city is divided into microdistricts, but only two of them are used as toponyms in the address registration and postal systems - Karintorf (a remote part of the city beyond the river) and the 21st microdistrict.

My city Kirovo-Chepetsk

Kirovo-Chepetsk (Kirov region)

Kirovo-Chepetsk- a city of regional subordination, the administrative center of the Kirovo-Chepetsk district of the Kirov region. Located in the Kirov region of the Volga-Vyatka region, at the confluence of the Cheptsa River into Vyatka, 22 km southeast of the city of Kirov.

Coordinates: 58°33?00? With. w. 50°01?00? V. d..

On March 28, 1955, the village of Kirovo-Chepetsky, founded on the left bank of the Cheptsy River at its confluence with the Vyatka River, received city status by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR.

Kirovo-Chepetsk is located in the central part of the Kirov region, on a territory with a total area of ​​more than 50 square meters. km, connected to the regional center (Kirov) by an asphalt road with a length of 40 km.

The distance to the city of Kirov in a straight line is 18 km, by road – about 40 km.

Kirovo-Chepetsk has great industrial potential. It is based on enterprises in the chemical and furniture industries, energy and construction, trade and services, and small businesses operating in various consumer sectors.

Kirovo-Chepetsk is the second most important and largest city in the Kirov region. And in terms of intellectual potential, the city of Kirovo-Chepetsk (the indicator is the number of highly qualified specialists and scientists per 10 thousand people) even surpasses the city of Kirov.

The city's industrial output in the total volume of the region is more than 15%. Tax payments from Kirovo-Chepetsk account for more than 30% of the region's consolidated budget. Kirovo-Chepetsk is considered one of the three donor cities in the region.

In the 60-80s, intensive capital construction was carried out in Kirovo-Chepetsk. Thanks to the skill and enthusiasm of the Kirovo-Chepetsk builders and the original developments of the architectural group of the Leningrad Design Institute, it acquired a unique and modern appearance.

The residential zone was created according to the principle of microdistrict development. Moreover, each microdistrict has its own distinctive features. Many buildings were made according to individual projects and are the pride of not only the city, but the entire region (the Dvurechye Hotel, a children's art school, the Yantar Palace of Culture, etc.). And the design of the House of Soviets, built in 1974, was awarded a diploma from the State Construction Committee of the RSFSR.

During the period of competitions among Russian cities, Kirovo-Chepetsk was repeatedly named among the cleanest, most comfortable and most beautiful cities. To this day, the renovation and improvement of Kirovo-Chepetsk is carried out under the strict control of the city’s chief architect and the town planning council.

City `s history

From the history of the city

In the vicinity of Kirovo-Chepetsk, sites of people from the Mesolithic era - 7th millennium BC are found. Upstream the Cheptsa, in Krivoborye, there was a settlement of the Ananino archaeological culture.

In 1992, during bank protection work, an excavator bucket removed a layer of earth, revealing, as archaeologists later established, a burial site from the end of the 13th century. The first news of the settlement of Russian people at the mouth of the Cheptsa dates back to 1405. For the first time, the “Chepetsk Stan”, on the territory of which Kirovo-Chepetsk is now located and the “capital” of which in those years was the Ust-Chepetsk churchyard, is mentioned in the letter of Vasily III to the Karin Tatar Devlektyar dated December 18, 1510. And the graveyard itself is described in the fiscal Watch Book of Vyatka cities and districts of Prince Zvenigorod in 1615. On July 1, 1615, he had three churches - the warm Nativity of the Virgin with the Peter and Paul chapel, the cold Nikolskaya and Georgievskaya “under the bell tower,” of which Nikolskaya was considered the main one.

Judging by its age, the city of Kirovo-Chepstsk is still quite young - there are no ancient noble mansions, merchant houses and craft buildings in it, no parks with mighty trees and ancient church ensembles. But he traces his ancestry back to the depths of centuries.

The very first mention of human settlement at the mouth of the Cheptsa River dates back to 1615. The Ust-Chepetsk churchyard is described in the Watch Book of Vyatka cities and districts. Although, according to the results of archaeological excavations, the settlement was formed no later than the 15th century.

But there is another mysterious and dramatic version. When the new ruler of the Golden Horde, Khan Tokhtamysh, driven by revenge for the defeat of the Tatars on the Kulikovo Field, led his hordes to Moscow, the Suzdal prince sent his sons to him - Semyon and Vasily. And they, taking advantage of the absence of Prince Dmitry in the city, persuaded the Muscovites to open the Kremlin gates, hypocritically declaring that the khan would only look at the city and take his troops back. But the Tatars, waving their sabers, “broke into the city, flogged some, captured others, plundered the churches, and took the prince’s wealth and treasury.”

For this treason, the son of Dmitry Donskoy, Grand Duke Vasily Dmitrievich, deprived Semyon and Vasily of their princely appanages. This happened in 1393. But soon the Suzdal princes received, for their faithful service, from Khan Tokhtamysh a label for the Vyatka land, which had just been conquered by the prince of the Golden Horde, Bsktut. Here, on Vyatka land, Semyon settled his family, continuing to serve the Golden Horde rulers.

Whether this is true or not is for historians and archaeologists to decide. For now, all that is known for certain is that the first settlement at the mouth of the Cheptsa River was called Nikolsky Pogost (from the name of the Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker). The churchyard was originally a trading place, then a place for collecting taxes, a church was built there, a cemetery appeared, people led a sedentary lifestyle. Judging by ancient sources, Nikolsky Pogost corresponded to this definition at the beginning of its existence.

By the beginning of the seventeenth century, the village at the mouth of the Cheptsa had grown greatly. The churchyard stood out noticeably among other rural settlements, and in terms of the number of households it surpassed such cities of the Vyatka land as Kotelnich and Orlov. As time passed, the appearance of the ancient village changed. If in the scribe books of the 17th century it is designated as a churchyard at the mouth of the Cheptsa River, then in the historical documents of the next century it is written as “the village of Ust-Chepetskoye.” This is the official name; in addition to it, there was also an everyday name - “Ust-Cheptsa”.

The village had its own characteristics, determined not only by the patriarchal way of life of its inhabitants, but also by its unique location. The peasants of Ust-Cheptsy did not have arable land and, having only home gardens and river mowing, from time immemorial were engaged in non-agricultural trades.

Among the men were skilled carpenters and metalworkers, experienced saddlers and furriers, and shoemakers. And yet, the majority of the male population preferred latrine trades: with the onset of spring, they went to work as carpenters in neighboring provinces. Women were engaged in gardening and weaving. The products of rural craftswomen were valued not only in Vyatka, they were readily bought in Moscow and Kyiv, in Kostroma and Yaroslavl.

Local crafts were varied and brought in considerable income, but they could not provide work for the entire adult population. And only with the opening of a match factory in the village the situation changed.

The factory was founded in 1873 by peasant Andrei Brovtsyn. Subsequently, it was renamed the trading house “Andrey and Nadezhda Brovtsyn”. The factory grew quickly and soon became the second largest match factory in the Vyatka province. In 1885, it already employed 50 people; that year, 8,000 boxes of matches were produced for 15,000 rubles.

In the second half of the 19th century, a primary school at the Church of the Virgin Mary and two zemstvo schools, one for women and one for men, operated in Ust-Chepts. The first public library opened in 1891. In the first year, 114 people enrolled in it, and they were given 2,170 books. In 1895, a parochial school was opened at the Nativity Church. At the beginning of the twentieth century, a new building was built for it; this two-story house has survived to this day (in 1989, the Kirovo-Chepetsk City Executive Committee transferred it to a Sunday school, newly built with money from parishioners and sponsors of the All Saints Church).

The time of great upheaval was approaching. The salvoes of the Aurora radically changed the life of Tsarist Russia. They reached the village of Ust-Chepetskoye. Its resident N.V. Utrobin was called up for army service in 1914. He was wounded in the First World War. Having met the February revolution in Petrograd, he became an active participant in the turbulent revolutionary events. In November 1917, due to health reasons, the Bolshevik Utrobin returned home, where he headed the village poor. On his initiative, the Military Revolutionary Committee of the Chepetsk volost was created at the end of December. Soviet power was proclaimed in Ust-Chepts.

In 1615-1629, the Ust-Chepetsky churchyard developed as the administrative and religious center of the Chepetsk camp of the Khlynovsky district. It occupied a small territory, on which there were more than 20 courtyards. In 1786 there were 248 households in the village, in 1805 - 313 households, population 1506 people. In 1926, the village had 741 inhabitants. The growth of the village and the increase in its population was facilitated by the discovery in 1929 of large reserves of peat in its vicinity. On July 13, 1935, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR made a decision on the construction of the Kirov Thermal Power Plant, and in August of the same year - a decision on its name - “Kirovo-Chepetskaya”, which became the hereditary title for the future city. In 1942, the settlement at the thermal power plant received its first official status - the working village of Kirovo-Chepetsk. In 1946, in the village of Kirovo-Chepetsky, it was decided to create a special-profile plant.

A year later, Yakov Filimonovich Tereshchenko arrived here, appointed director of the future enterprise. On March 28, 1955, by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, the working village of Kirovo-Chepetsky, Prosnitsky District, was transformed into the city of Kirovo-Chepetsk. Since 1960, the city has been the center of the Kirovo-Chepetsk region. Since 1961 - a city of regional subordination.

The appearance of the city

Start of construction and development of Kirovo-Chepetsk

In 1924 in the village they were planning to build a hydroelectric power station, they even started looking for a place. But in 1929 In the vicinity of the village, large deposits of peat were discovered - this predetermined the construction of a combined heat and power plant (CHP). The decision to build a thermal power plant was made by the Council of People's Commissars on July 13, 1935. - then the thermal power plant was called “Kirovskaya”, but already in August - “Kirovo-Chepetskaya CHPP”.

The Kirovo-Chepetsk Thermal Power Plant became the core of a planned giant industrial hub: it was planned to build a flax mill and build the country's largest pulp and paper mill. The project envisaged that the new enterprise would become the largest in the USSR for the production of cultivated grades of paper. The first products of paper-making machines were planned to be produced at the end of 1938. Did not work out. Although the calculations seemed to be correct: cheap fuel, a forested area, two rivers along which timber could be floated... The Chepetsk flax mill was not built either. And the construction of the thermal power plant was mothballed twice due to lack of funds.

So things went on - neither shaky nor slow - until the war began. Local enterprises and those evacuated to Kirov immediately needed a lot of electricity.

In order to urgently establish peat mining, build a bridge across the Cheptsa River, build a railway, and “bring to fruition” the thermal power plant itself, people - due to the lack of local labor - were brought from all over the country, sending evacuation flows here. Russians, Karin Tatars worked here (their “family nest” - the village of Karino - was located nearby, which is why the peat mining enterprise was named “Karintorf”), Latvians, Estonians, Moldovans, interned Poles, Uzbeks mobilized into the labor army, German prisoners of war...

The first stage of the Kirovo-Chepetsk Thermal Power Plant produced industrial current on November 6, 1942. - the result of the titanic efforts of thousands of people, their contribution to the Victory. Thanks to them, defense enterprises in Kirov were able to uninterruptedly produce ammunition, weapons, and military equipment for the front.

In parallel with the thermal power plant, the construction of a chemical plant began (1938). In 1943, two production facilities were put into operation - a calcium carbide production shop and a lime burning shop. In 1946, it was decided to launch the construction of new production facilities at the chemical plant site to produce products for astronautics, rocketry, and aviation: freons, monomers, fluorinated lubricants and liquids, fluorinated rubbers, latexes, organochlorines, fluoroplastics and products made from them. The Kirovo-Chepetsk construction site was organized, which 20 years later became an independent Construction Department.

In 1942 During the construction of the industrial hub, the settlement became the working village of Kirovo-Chepetsky as part of the Prosnitsky district.

September 1, 1954 The executive committee of the Prosnitsky district council drew up a certificate on the state of the workers' village of Kirovo-Chepetsky, in conclusion of which it asked to consider the issue of transforming the village into a city of regional subordination and giving the future city the name “Herzen” (Alexander Ivanovich Herzen, writer, publicist, philosopher, public figure, before the revolution I served exile in Vyatka for about three years). This name was not approved at the state level.

March 28, 1955 By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR, the working village of Kirovo-Chepetsky, Prosnitsky district, was transformed into the city of Kirovo-Chepetsk. The city boundaries included the village of Ust-Cheptsa and several surrounding villages - Balezino, Devetyarovo, Golodny Pochinok. The inhabitants of the new city were 16 thousand people.

In 1959 The executive committee of the city council proposed to rename the city of Kirovo-Chepetsk to the city of Chepetsk. The proposal did not go through.

Not so long ago, there were no roads at all leading from the city of Kirovo-Chepetsk to the city of Kirov (the city was closed). Everything needed was transported along the railway line. And whoever needed to go to the regional center for his business, then in the summer along the sleepers to the station, and in the winter - straight across the river.

But there would be no happiness, but misfortune helped. The region somehow exceeded its target for delivering meat to the state, and the region was awarded an order. They were waiting for N.S. to come to present the order. Khrushchev. What to show the Secretary General, what to brag about? Of course, a unique chemical plant. But how to take N.S. there? Khrushchev, when there is no road? It was necessary to urgently pave the road to the city from the Kazan turn. Khrushchev did not come, but the road faithfully serves the people, connecting the regional center and the largest regional city.

The main executor of the government order for the construction of the city and the chemical plant was the Kirovo-Chepetsk Construction Department. In October 2006 he turned 60 years old. It was created in accordance with the resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR dated October 11, 1964 for the construction of a chemical plant. The village of Kirovo-Chepetsk, which arose during the construction of CHPP-3, was chosen as the location for the construction.

In the initial period, all basic materials were imported for construction from the Vologda region. At the same time, the creation of its own production base began; quarries for the extraction of sand, gravel, rubble stone, logging and processing of timber were organized, and brick production was launched.

In 1944-48 a concrete unit with a testing ground for the production of reinforced concrete products, repair and mechanical workshops were built. In subsequent years, the construction of production facilities continued.

The main workforce for a long time has been the special contingent, whose share in the total number of workers was more than 60%. All construction and installation work was carried out manually; until 1951, there were only 2 excavators at the construction site using special equipment.

1948-55 - were years of growth. The volume of completed construction work grew annually at a high rate, and workshops and production at the chemical plant were put into operation. The number of housing built increased every year.

From 1956 to 1968 Construction was experiencing a long recession that lasted 13 years, caused by a reduction in capital investment in construction production throughout the country. The capacities created in previous years were not used. The volume of construction and installation work performed was reduced by more than 30%. Housing construction in the city has slowed down. During this period, 118 production facilities were commissioned for the chemical plant (compared to 134 in the previous period).

In connection with the start of construction of workshops for the production of herbicides and the subsequent construction of a mineral fertilizer plant, the construction of the city again experienced an upsurge that lasted more than 20 years - from 1969 to 1992. During this time, the following were built: a mineral fertilizer plant, a mechanical repair plant for KCCHK, a branch of the plant named after. Lepse, the Kristall plant, a sewing and toy factory, a dairy plant, a poultry farm, and separate workshops at CHPP-3 have been expanded. The city's housing stock has more than tripled compared to the years of recession.

For 1969-92 the city received 7 schools, 30 kindergartens, 2 vocational schools, an art school, 14 canteens, 5 consumer service plants, 19 shops and shopping centers, 3 cafes, 6 hospitals and clinics, a laboratory building of the city hospital, a Palace of Culture, 3 clubs.

A boarding school for the elderly was built, the largest in terms of number of beds in the region, including the regional center. At the same time, a training center, two administrative buildings, two swimming pools, a hotel with a restaurant, and two automatic telephone exchanges with 12,000 numbers were put into operation. The capacity of all divisions of the production base of the construction management was increased: the departments of industrial enterprises, construction mechanization, road transport, production and technical equipment and energy supply. By this time, the construction site had become the leading construction organization in the region in terms of all technical and economic indicators.

Living memory

Streets of my childhood. They are hardly remembered today - Parkovaya, Bryzgalnaya, Lesnaya... But they were there.

Bryzgalnaya and Lesnaya were built with private houses by strong, hard-working men - our fathers, who came in the early 40s to build CHPP-3. The park was built by CHPP-3 itself - two-story brick houses for its workers.

By the 50-60s, new life was already in full swing in this area. Sports passions did not subside at the TPP-3 stadium: football and volleyball matches, track and field competitions. Solomon Sugar himself played on the dance floor on weekends. All the youth of the village gathered to dance to “Mishka-Mishka”, “Bessame, Mucho”, “Scows”, “Chubchik”...

And what fun there was at the mass celebrations, in the meadows beyond Lake Ivanovo! We, children, cut prizes - toys and sweets - from ropes stretched between the pine trees; parents sang and danced to the accordion. There have always been many accordion players, both young and older. Remarkably, no unpleasant incidents occurred.

Today this area, forgotten by tour guides, does not appear in any memories; I remember more the Balezino area, where a chemical plant began its residential construction. But the area of ​​the village of CHPP-3 is the first wooden cinema in the city “Zarya” and the majestic cultural center “Energetik” at that time, an elementary school in a wooden barracks, cottages of the leaders of CHPP-3 - director Timonyuk and chief engineer Golyshev...

This is the beginning of the city and corners of our childhood, common youth. There were, as it should be, a lot of unknowns. How good this unknown was: adult life, the future of our city.

The streets of my childhood no longer exist. In their place is an industrial zone. Progress has radically changed the landscape, but strangely these old pipes, walls and structures retain a living memory. That memory that is not a joy for old people, but a way to live long and profitably.

Confessional characteristics

On the territory of Kirovo-Chepetsk there are two Orthodox churches, one church of Evangelical Christians - Baptists.

The sun is the source of life on the planet. Its rays provide the necessary light and warmth. At the same time, ultraviolet radiation from the Sun is destructive to all living things. To find a compromise between the beneficial and harmful properties of the Sun, meteorologists calculate the ultraviolet radiation index, which characterizes the degree of its danger.

What kind of UV radiation from the sun is there?

Ultraviolet radiation from the Sun has a wide range and is divided into three regions, two of which reach the Earth.

• UVA. Long-wave radiation range

  315–400 nm

  The rays pass almost freely through all atmospheric “barriers” and reach the Earth.

• UV-B. Medium wave range radiation

  280–315 nm

  The rays are 90% absorbed by the ozone layer, carbon dioxide and water vapor.

• UV-C. Shortwave range radiation

  100–280 nm

  The most dangerous area. They are completely absorbed by stratospheric ozone without reaching the Earth.

The more ozone, clouds and aerosols in the atmosphere, the less the harmful effects of the Sun. However, these life-saving factors have a high natural variability. The annual maximum of stratospheric ozone occurs in spring, and the minimum in autumn. Cloudiness is one of the most variable characteristics of weather. The carbon dioxide content also changes all the time.

At what UV index values ​​is there a danger?

The UV index provides an estimate of the amount of UV radiation from the Sun at the Earth's surface. UV index values ​​range from a safe 0 to an extreme 11+.

• 0–2 Low
• 3–5 Moderate
• 6–7 High
• 8–10 Very high
• 11+ Extreme

In mid-latitudes, the UV index approaches unsafe values ​​(6–7) only at the maximum height of the Sun above the horizon (occurs in late June - early July). At the equator, the UV index reaches 9...11+ points throughout the year.

How is the sun useful?

In small doses, UV radiation from the Sun is simply necessary. The sun's rays synthesize melanin, serotonin, and vitamin D, which are necessary for our health, and prevent rickets.

Melanin creates a kind of protective barrier for skin cells from the harmful effects of the Sun. Because of it, our skin darkens and becomes more elastic.

The hormone of happiness serotonin affects our well-being: it improves mood and increases overall vitality.

Vitamin D strengthens the immune system, stabilizes blood pressure and performs anti-rickets functions.

Why is the sun dangerous?

When sunbathing, it is important to understand that the line between the beneficial and harmful Sun is very thin. Excessive tanning always borders on a burn. Ultraviolet radiation damages DNA in skin cells.

The body's defense system cannot cope with such aggressive influence. It lowers immunity, damages the retina, causes skin aging and can lead to cancer.

Ultraviolet light destroys the DNA chain

How the Sun affects people

Sensitivity to UV radiation depends on skin type. People of the European race are the most sensitive to the Sun - for them, protection is required already at index 3, and 6 is considered dangerous.

At the same time, for Indonesians and African Americans this threshold is 6 and 8, respectively.

Who is most influenced by the Sun?

People with fair hair

skin tone

People with many moles

Residents of mid-latitudes during a holiday in the south

Winter lovers

fishing

Skiers and climbers

People with a family history of skin cancer

In what weather is the sun more dangerous?

It is a common misconception that the sun is dangerous only in hot and clear weather. You can also get sunburned in cool, cloudy weather.

Cloudiness, no matter how dense it may be, does not reduce the amount of ultraviolet radiation to zero. In mid-latitudes, cloudiness significantly reduces the risk of getting sunburned, which cannot be said about traditional beach holiday destinations. For example, in the tropics, if in sunny weather you can get sunburned in 30 minutes, then in cloudy weather - in a couple of hours.

How to protect yourself from the sun

To protect yourself from harmful rays, follow simple rules:

Spend less time in the sun during midday hours

Wear light-colored clothing, including wide-brimmed hats

Use protective creams

Wear sunglasses

Stay in the shade more on the beach

Which sunscreen to choose

Sunscreens vary in their degree of sun protection and are labeled from 2 to 50+. The numbers indicate the proportion of solar radiation that overcomes the protection of the cream and reaches the skin.

For example, when applying a cream labeled 15, only 1/15 (or 7 %) of the ultraviolet rays will penetrate the protective film. In the case of cream 50, only 1/50, or 2 %, affects the skin.

Sunscreen creates a reflective layer on the body. However, it is important to understand that no cream can reflect 100% of ultraviolet radiation.

For everyday use, when the time spent under the Sun does not exceed half an hour, a cream with protection 15 is quite suitable. For tanning on the beach, it is better to take 30 or higher. However, for fair-skinned people it is recommended to use a cream labeled 50+.

How to Apply Sunscreen

The cream should be applied evenly to all exposed skin, including the face, ears and neck. If you plan to sunbathe for a long time, then the cream should be applied twice: 30 minutes before going out and, additionally, before going to the beach.

Please check the cream instructions for the required volume for application.

How to Apply Sunscreen When Swimming

Sunscreen should be applied every time after swimming. Water washes away the protective film and, by reflecting the sun's rays, increases the dose of ultraviolet radiation received. Thus, when swimming, the risk of sunburn increases. However, due to the cooling effect, you may not feel the burn.

Excessive sweating and wiping with a towel are also reasons to re-protect the skin.

It should be remembered that on the beach, even under an umbrella, the shade does not provide complete protection. Sand, water and even grass reflect up to 20% of ultraviolet rays, increasing their impact on the skin.

How to protect your eyes

Sunlight reflected from water, snow or sand can cause painful burns to the retina. To protect your eyes, wear sunglasses with a UV filter.

Danger for skiers and climbers

In the mountains, the atmospheric “filter” is thinner. For every 100 meters of height, the UV index increases by 5 %.

Snow reflects up to 85 % of ultraviolet rays. In addition, up to 80 % of the ultraviolet reflected by the snow cover is reflected again by clouds.

Thus, in the mountains the Sun is most dangerous. It is necessary to protect your face, lower chin and ears even in cloudy weather.

How to deal with sunburn if you get sunburned

Use a damp sponge to moisten the burn.

Apply anti-burn cream to the burned areas

If your temperature rises, consult your doctor; you may be advised to take an antipyretic

If the burn is severe (the skin swells and blisters greatly), seek medical attention
