White shores. My small homeland is white shores (History of the village in photos from the family album)
The suburban Bryanskaya village of White Coast received another bridge - white. He was built over the weekend. The state did not ask even a nail.
"There are people on Earth who cannot live without creating. Such are the White Bank Most-Builders, "Beloba residents told themselves about themselves.
Two weeks ago they spent preparatory work To build an arched bridge to a youth beach. It was hard to get only lumber. Residents of the village together began to look for bars and boards.
On Saturday "White steering". It came out with axes and saws, as usual, and old, and young. Worked fun, even festively, with additives. This enthusiasm did not expect the Belobasans themselves. From morning to evening, the saws and stood the axes. Some scored oak piles, others put the spans out of the logs, the third struck the flooring. The new Belob Bank bridge over the groove is almost built, it will finish it next Saturday. It will be not only beautiful, but also safe.
Sergey Konobeev notes:
- Women and girls took an active part in construction. Everything was interesting, beautiful, appetizing, sometimes intriguing. The children rejoiced eggs with lard.
Pilaf and a hot sauna with a disorder became the final chord of the holiday of communal labor. In the white shores, the Russian press has already been accepted about the amazing residents of whom, they proved that they are not salaries and non-foreign cars. The joy of such communication is given primarily to children who, with delight, told about the bottom of the creation.
Once, a summer warm day I was in a small and cozy village of the Bryansk region. This village is famous for the largest in the entire field of artificial lake Belobe Bank, as well as GRESWhen construction of which began the development of this village.
A bit of history (from Wikipedia):
"The date of the foundation of the current city settlement is considered to be 1868, when the White Shores railway station was opened on the Bryansk-Eagle line. But still in the 1700s, 6 km from the current village was founded by the men's monastery of Beloba Bank desert, from the name of which the whole surrounding area was founded. I began to be called white shores (which later and gave the station name) ...
The status of an urban type village was assigned by the Decree of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of November 20, 1932. "
The purpose of the trip to the White Shore was the most lake in which I wanted to swim, but while I got to him, on the way I came across interesting objects.
One of them turned out to be a former kindergarten "violet" or even a former elementary school. Terribly Discrete and Rahable Building ...
Echoes elementary school...
Behind the building there are wooden extensions 
Once he was so..1976. (photo with belber.ru) 
Very soon I was at the lake. And near the park could not not notice the funny shops 
In this post, I will not show the pictures of the lake, they will remain for later :)
Returning from the lake, I decided to go to the GRES itself.
A little storyfrom Vicky:
"On December 22, 1920, on the VIII of the All-Union Congress of Soviets, the plan of the Goello was approved, according to which, within 10-15 years, it was planned to build 30 regional power plants, including the Bryansk GRES.
On April 21, 1927, the Council of Labor and Defense adopted a resolution "On the construction of the Bryansk district power plant." ...
On October 9, 1931, the first turbine with a capacity of 11 thousand kW was raised by turnover, the testing of the power plant equipment began. The main fuel type was peat from the nearest deposits (finger, warm), which was delivered with the help of the White Bank of the Uzbocole Railway. ...
In 1961-1964, the reconstruction of all 12 boilers for burning natural gas was carried out. In 1966, a closed hydraulic pump system was commissioned.
The maximum installed power of the station was 90 MW.
Since the beginning of 2012, the question of the closure of the Bryansk GRES as a power plant and its transfer to the boiler room is being resolved. "
More information about GRES can be found -\u003e
On the territory of GRES, it is easy to get, but there is not cursing. And the people constantly walk on the dam, and even swim :) 
Now this GRES works as a boiler room, has only one working boiler for the village.

Immediately near the White Coast is the junction of large motorways M3. Moscow-Kiev and A141 Orel-Smolensk.
History
The date of the foundation of the current urban settlement is considered to be 1868, when the White Shore railway station was opened on the Bryansk-Eagle line. But back in the 1700s, a male monastery of the Beloba Berestny desert was founded 6 km from the current village, from whose name the whole surrounding area began to be called white shores (which later and gave the name of the station). The rapid development of the village began in the 1920s in connection with the construction of the Bryansk GRES.
The status of an urban style village was assigned to the Decree of the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of November 20, 1932.
sights
To the west of the village there is a monastery of the Beloba Bank desert, the largest memorial complex of the Bryansk region "Partizanskaya Polyana", an extensive sanatorium and recreation area. 10 km to the south - the Memorial complex "Hatsun" (on the site of the village burned by the fascist invaders).
Ecological situation
For a long time, the ecological situation in the village of White shores was unfavorable due to significant air pollution by the emissions of the Bryansk GRES, who worked at the peat. Since the mid-1990s, GRES has been transferred to gas; The situation has improved significantly. However, since 2007, it is alarming the state of the so-called "warm channel" - non-freezing artificial channel, which served to remove heated water with TRES turbines. The warm canal was built in the late 1950s; Over the past half a century, he became not only a favorite holiday destination, but a peculiar miniature ecosystem was formed around it. Since 2007, due to the termination of regular reset of warm water, the channel has become stagnant, currently already unsuitable not only for bathing, but even for habitat for the previous flora and fauna. Since the channel directly flows into the Belong Bank of Lake, an environmental disaster can spread to this reservoir, as well as to cause diseases among the population.
