Everything about Nikolay Vasilyevich Komarov totally explained
Nikolay Vasilyevich Komarov (; b. 1831) was a
Russian junior commissioned officer (
praporshchik) who is commonly considered to be the founder of the city of
Vladivostok.
Little is known about Komarov's youth. He was born in the village of
Komarovo in
Tobolsk Governorate (now in
Tyumen Oblast) into a family of
government peasants and graduated from Omsk Army Commissioned Officers College, after which he was assigned to a
company sent to the
Far East to build new outposts. In 1858, his company was quartered in
Khabarovsk, in 1859—in
Sofiysk, and in 1860—in
Nikolayevsk-on-Amur.
On June 20 (
July 2 Gregorian style),
1860, the military supply ship
Manchzhur under the command of Captain-Lieutenant
Alexey Shefner called at the
Golden Horn Bay to establish an outpost called Vladivostok. Komarov with twenty-eight soldiers and two
non-commissioned officers under his command started construction of military barracks, an officers' house, a kitchen, a warehouse, and a bathhouse. This date is now considered the official date of Vladivostok's founding. On the following day, Komarov was appointed a commanding officer of Vladivostok's garrison, but a year later was relieved from duty for theft and alcoholism (according to
Major Khitrovo, who visited Vladivostok with inspections, Komarov often fraternized and drank with soldiers). He was replaced by
Yevgeny Burachok, an officer who had to disembark in Vladivostok from the clipper
Razboynik for medical reasons. Komarov was soon transferred to the
Ussuri River. He retired in the 1870s in the rank of
poruchik (
Lieutenant) (according to other sources—in the rank of Captain-Engineer).
A street in central Vladivostok (Komarovskaya St.) was named after Nikolay Komarov in 1860. The street was renamed Borodinskaya and later—Geologov, but in 1985 it was again renamed after Komarov (Praporshchik Komarov St.).
