Historia

Existen varias teorías sobre la fundación de la ciudad. Según una leyenda, Sarátov está situada en el lugar donde se encontraba la legendaria ciudad escita de Gelonus o la colonia griega más septentrional. Gelonus se menciona en el libro sexto de las Historias de Heródoto: según él, en 512 a.C la ciudad fue incendiada por Darío I de Persia. Otras fuentes afirman que la ciudad anterior a Sarátov fue Ukek.

Durante el reinado del zar Teodoro I de Rusia se construyeron varios asentamientos militares para fortificar las fronteras del país. Durante el verano de 1586 se construyó la fortaleza de Tsaritsyn (más tarde Stalingrado, y actualmente Volgogrado) entre Volga y el Don. Más tarde, en 1590, se construyó Sarátov entre Samara y Tsaritsyn.

El nombre Sarátov puede provenir de una derivación de las palabras turcas Saryk Atov, cuyo significado es isla de halcones.

Sarátov se convirtió en un importante puerto de pesca a partir de 1800, desarrollánse industrialmente.

En 1870, llegó a Saratov el ferrocarril Rjazano-Uraliano.1 Tendrían que pasar 26 años para que, en 1896, se retomen los trabajos de construcción del ferrocarril desde la otra orilla del río Volga hacia el este. Durante los próximos 39 años funcionaría un servicio de ferro-barco para efectuar el cruce de los vagones del ferrocarril a través del Volga. Finalmente en 1935 se inauguró el Puente del ferrocarril de Saratov. Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Saratov fue una parada obligada de la ruta del sur al norte del Volzhskaya rokada, transportando tropas, municiones y bienes esenciales para la defensa de Stalingrado.2

Entre los monumentos principales de la ciudad – los edificios de la dirección del Ferrocarril de la región del Volga, La Catedral (1695) Sagradamente-Troitsky, el museo Radishchevsky (1885), el edificio del conservatorio (1902), el teatro de la ópera y el ballet.

Desde la era soviética hasta 1991, Sarátov fue una ciudad cerrada, fuera del alcance de todo extranjero. Situada en el río Volga, fue la principal ubicación de fabricación de aviones militares, hogar asimismo de Yuri Gagarin el primer ser humano en el espacio, y una parte vital del programa espacial soviético. Y de Román Abramóvich, multimillonario ruso del petróleo, actual presidente del Chelsea F.C. y ex gobernador del distrito autónomo de Chukotka en Siberia.
