I would never have thought that in order to get the best harvest on my plot in my entire “dacha career”, I just need to stop working on the beds and trust nature. For as long as I can remember, I spent every summer at the dacha. First at my parents' house, and then my husband and I bought our own.

History of cucumbers in Russia

In Russia, this vegetable quickly became popular. The manual on agriculture distributed during the 18th century states that it took root better in Russia than in Europe. It is believed that the vegetable was known in the country until the 9th century. Under Peter the Great, the homeland of cucumbers was transferred to greenhouses - a special farm created for their cultivation.

In the series “Small Towns of Russia” today we will go to Lukhovitsy near Moscow. This city is known as the birthplace of Lukhovitsky cucumbers.

But besides this brand, in the 20th century they created their own direction of artistic painting - lukhloma. This is also the only place in the Moscow region where they practice motorcycle racing on ice. Reportage Margarita Tverdova.

It’s not easy to find a person in Lukhovitsy who doesn’t like cucumbers. Children eat them too...

- Cucumbers are awesome!

And artists...

- I don’t like pickled ones, I don’t like salted ones, I only like fresh ones, I plant them.

And athletes...

- Where would we be without these cucumbers? It's like a tradition for us.

The local museum even has a separate room dedicated to cucumbers. The guides share recipes for pickles, and at the same time tell why this particular vegetable is grown on Lukhovitsk soil.

: “Initially we grew cabbage. But we realized that cucumbers were good and more expensive than cabbage, so we started switching to cucumbers.”

Real Lukhovitsky can only be grown here. It's all about the fertile lands on the banks of the Oka. But each farmer chooses the variety to his own taste.

Zhanna Guskova, employee of the Lukhovitsy Historical and Art Museum: “We have collected the funniest names of seeds in our collection. There is, for example, the Mother-in-law cucumber. And then there’s “Mama’s Boy.” But in addition to “Mama’s Boy,” there must also be “A Real Man.”

In the summer in Lukhovitsy, pimply ones are sold at every turn.

-Lukhovitsky, own. Homemade.

Tatyana Nikolaevna brought her goods from the neighboring village of Vykopanki. Like other farmers, she planted cucumbers back in March, and has been harvesting for a month now.

- Today I collected 40 kg from 18 beds. Here are two baskets like this.

Farmers have strict requirements for cucumbers. They should be strong and small. If they grow longer than seven centimeters, they do not go on sale - here they believe that this is a defect. But even with selected cucumbers it is difficult to get rich.

- You’ll definitely earn a hump, but the benefits...

- The work is very hard, but mediocre, one might say.

- Why then are you doing this?

- Well, what to do? The earth is disappearing, my dear.

Hardworking Lukhovichi residents even erected a monument to the breadwinner cucumber. Now it is the main attraction of the city. But Lukhovitsy surprises not only with cucumbers.

The last thing you expect to see in Lukhovitsy is... Peter the Great. This is the graduation work of a local sculptor. A monument to the founder of the Russian fleet was erected in the homeland of the first Russian sailing frigate. It was launched near Lukhovitsy 350 years ago.

And now land transport is more popular in Lukhovitsy.

Sergey Makarov, head of the sports and technical section named after. V.M. Tsybrova: “This is an adult motorcycle, class - 500 cm cubic. This is a children's motorcycle, also made of cinder, for track racing. It’s all made with our own hands, completely from scratch, starting with the pipe.”

Sergei Makarov is a world champion in motorcycle ice racing. He himself always trained in Lukhovitsy, and now he teaches the younger generation how to ride. Students can join the section from the age of seven. There is no need to pay for classes - the club is supported by the local administration and DOSAAF. Twice a week young motorcyclists go out of town for training.

- Look, there’s already a sound, someone’s driving. This is what the sound will be.

Lukhovitsk athletes are the only ones in the Moscow region who engage in motorcycle racing on ice. You need to train all year round, so in the summer they raise dust on a regular cross-country track.

- Look, jump so that you have the most even takeoff, landing not back, not forward, but slightly on the rear wheel. When landing - gas.

Currently there are 16 people in the section. Everyone has their own sports dream.

- Drive along a dead ramp.

- Become a world champion.

The coach also dreams of raising champions. And not only.

Sergey Makarov, head of the sports and technical section named after. V. M. Tsybrova: “I would like all this to be revived, to work, to pass on experience to children, and they will continue to carry our brand. Everyone says motorcycle racing and cucumbers in Lukhovitsy.”

Lukhovitsy is constantly called the capital - either of motorcycles, or of cucumbers, or, jokingly, of all of Russia. The city really has a metropolitan luster - the streets are decorated with precious stones. They are safely hidden in the names. There are Amber and Pearl streets, Rubinovaya and Khrustalnaya.

Artists also work with jeweler precision in Lukhovitsy. The city has its own craft - lukhloma.

: “The artist has his own style. And everyone came up with some kind of detail. Look, someone came up with little flowers, some color.”

Outwardly, Lukhloma resembles Khokhloma, but the technology here is different. The artist can use any colors, so the drawing is brighter. Lukhloma - a young fishery - appeared only in the 70s of the last century. It was created not by an artist, but by a carpenter - Alexander Buzyrikhin. Complex technology defied him for a long time.

Alexander Buzyrikhin, creator of Lukhloma: “Gold appears, the paint burns, or vice versa, the paint remains, but there is no gold. I was already in despair. Then something dawned on me... And so I open it, I have tears in my eyes. Everything sparkled with gold, the colors were alive.”

Factories opened throughout the city. But in the 90s they began to disappear just as quickly. The last one closed in 2004, and Alla, a foreman with 20 years of experience, was left without work.

They began to revive the fishery only two years ago. Now the entire production consists of two rooms at a sawmill. But the craftswoman is happy about this too.

Alla Burmistrova, master of Lukhloma painting: "It is mine. Probably a calling. Or maybe it was given by God, I don’t know. The most important thing is that this must be the case in order to move forward. I’m not eternal either, right?”

But for now, Alla is the only master of Lukhloma painting - not only in Lukhovitsy, but throughout the world. ( Margarita Tverdova, Evgeny Velichko and Sergey Mazur, Lukhovitsy, OTR)

Lukhovitsky cucumbers are in such demand that vegetables grown in other places are also sold under this name. Lukhovichi residents decided to fight counterfeit products, and in 2015 they received a patent for their cucumbers. Now Lukhovitsky is a brand. And those who grow them have an official document - a membership card of the cucumber producers' association.

Cucumber is a very popular vegetable in our country.. It is consumed fresh as an independent dish or as part of salads. We always associate fresh crispy cucumbers from the garden with summer and warmth. Every gardener grows this crop. Everyone loves green and juicy cucumbers.

We use it not only fresh, but also canned, pickled and sour cucumbers are prepared by housewives in large quantities and delight the whole family in the cold winter. We all know how to prepare their cucumbers. Where did this green vegetable come to us from? Where and how is cucumber used? What benefits do cucumbers bring to our body? We will try to find answers to all these questions to the maximum.

History of the origin of the cucumber

Cucumber came into our lives so long ago that no one even knows when exactly they began to eat it. It is believed that the first cucumbers appeared in India, this assumption is well founded. Even today, India is the only country in the world where wild cucumber grows. This wild cucumber is fundamentally different from the modern one, it is smaller than an ordinary cucumber and it is simply not possible to eat it because of its incredibly bitter taste.

It is known for sure that cucumber was consumed in ancient Rome. The ancient Romans had sacrificial tables for making sacrifices to the Gods; various vegetables and fruits were depicted on these tables, and among these images there was a cucumber, which confirms that even then the cucumber was in people's lives.

From the 3rd to the 4th centuries, the cucumber gradually reached Greece and all European countries from Asia. The cucumber spread across Europe quite quickly. Cucumber seeds have become an item of trade between countries. But it was grown in those days, not as we are used to now. Cucumbers were planted in boxes and wheels were attached to them so that they could be easily turned towards the sun. Cucumbers in those days were not suitable for growing in any climate, because varieties were not yet bred at that time, but one variety was simply collected and sold throughout all countries.

The cucumber arrived on the territory of Rus' much later, around the 10th-11th century. It is believed that cucumbers were brought to Rus' from Byzantium, but this is not an exact fact, but only an assumption. During archaeological excavations on the territory of Novgorod, seed shells were found; these shells are presumably from the 10th century.

At that time, cucumber was not very common; it gained great popularity in the territories of Russia and Ukraine in the 16-17th century. In the 70s of the 17th century, Peter the first issued a decree to create a vegetable growing farm in Izmailovo, where cabbage, melon and cucumber itself were grown in large quantities over large areas. Since that time, cucumber began to be grown in very large quantities.

In the same 17th century, many cucumbers were already pickled and a hot dish appeared - it was a soup that was prepared on the basis of cucumber brine, meat and various roots were added to it, this soup was called “Black Ear”. And our favorite pickling varieties were not bred here at all, these varieties came to us again from India and Nepal.

The first pollinated varieties appeared in India and Nepal; they became the ancestors of each pollinated variety, and from these varieties, breeders bred all the others. But the first varieties of long-fruited cucumbers appeared in China; these varieties became the ancestors of all varieties capable of reproduction without pollination.

Cucumbers are most popular in Russia and Ukraine; the largest number of cucumbers in the world are grown in these two countries. About 130 thousand hectares of land are allocated for planting this crop. Of this, approximately 65-70% of cucumbers are grown in greenhouses.
