For real beautiful villages in Russia There are not very many left, they are painstakingly collected and numbered by specialists from historical and conservation organizations in order to carefully preserve the remaining crumbs. Today the list of “not yet lost” includes a little more than a dozen. Each of them is interesting from the point of view of history, architecture, and traditional way of life. Each will leave a mark on the heart after visiting.

So, the most beautiful villages in Russia:

The most colorful villages

Village Desyatnikovo. Buryatia. The first mention was in 1746.


The village of Desyatnikovo consists of five streets.


Currently, 778 people live in the village of Desyatnikovo.


The village of Desyatnikovo is located near the Selenga River.


Village of Atsagat. This word translated from the Buryat language means “stone”.


There are about 100 households in the village of Atsagat.


Atsagat datsan. Founded in 1825.


The village of Tarbagatai is one of the largest Old Believer villages in Transbaikalia.

The village of Tarbagatai was founded in the 1710s.


The village of Bolshoi Kunaley was founded in 1765.


The name of the village of Kunaley is “hunilla”, which translated from Buryat means “assembly” or “fold”.


The village of Kunaley preserves the identity, culture and traditions of its ancestors.

Lost among the mountains and meadows with fragrant herbs, very similar to each other and not at all similar, there are four villages in Buryatia, located approximately at the same distance to the east and south of Ulan-Ude.Desyatnikovo, Atsagat, Tarbagatai and Bolshoy Kunaley. Almost all the buildings in these villages are painted on the outside bright colors: red, orange and blue, and the interior walls, pieces of furniture and even the ceilings are painted even more brightly. Such traditional decoration was very typical for wealthy peasant houses. Traditional folk costumes are no less colorful; one gets the impression that these villages are home to the most cheerful people in the world who do not want to part with their childhood. Meanwhiletraditional culture of Tarbagatai villagewas declared a "Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity" by UNESCO. And the village of Atsagat is also one of the religious centers of the region. Back in 1825, a datsan was built here, raising more than one generation of lamas. And local herbs can be found even in atlases of Tibetan medicine.

The oldest villages


Village Staraya Ladoga founded in 753.


Until 1703 Ladoga was a city.


According to the Novgorod Chronicle, the grave of Prophetic Oleg is located in Ladoga (according to the Kyiv version, his grave is located in Kyiv on Mount Shchekovitsa).


When the daughter of the Swedish king Olaf Shotkonung, Princess Ingigerda, married the Novgorod prince Yaroslav the Wise in 1019, she received the city of Aldeigyuborg (Old Ladoga) with adjacent lands as a dowry (veno), which has since received the name Ingermanlandia (land of Ingegerda).


Afanasyevskaya Church in Varzuga.


Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Varzuga.


Main source of income local population At all times there were sales of salmon caught in the Varzuga River.

Perhaps it was the harsh northern weather, frosts, winds and ice that contributed to the fact thatthe most ancient villages in Russialocated in the north-west, in Leningrad and Murmansk regions: Staraya Ladoga and Varzuga. Let’s not argue about who is older; we’ll leave it to the experts; the history of both of them goes back more than 600 years. , which stands on the Volkhov River, is considered the starting point of the great journey “from the Varangians to the Greeks”; one of the three Varangian brothers called to Rus' ruled here. She was the biggest shopping center even before Novgorod, and the walls of its fortress were stormed by the Swedes. It absorbed the entire culture of the North Russian peoples. stands on the banks of the river of the same name, which flows into the White Sea. Her main decorations are wooden churches, of which there are as many as five built here, were built without a single nail, like many religious buildings of northern masters. Was herePatriarchal House of the Solovetsky Monastery, therefore, the lands and springs around are holy. And the main trade of the local residents was salmon fishing and pearl mining, which the Varzuga River gave birth to.

The harshest villages


The first mention of Teriberka dates back to the 16th century.


The village received its name from the river Teriberka of the same name, the name of which, in turn, according to one version, goes back to the outdated name of the Kola Peninsula - Ter.


Until 1984, Teriberka had no road connections and could be reached either by sea or by helicopter.


The village of Esso received its name in 1932.


Almost the entire village of Esso is heated using natural geothermal waters.


The village of Esso is called “Kamchatka Switzerland”.


Every year in March, the international sled dog race “Beringia” starts from the village.

They are harsh not because of the characters of the local residents, but because they are located in such places that it is unclear how people can live here, and even build such beautiful villages. They are scattered on the two extreme sides of our country: on the Barents Sea and Esso on . Teriberka appeared on Kola Peninsula back in the 16th century, but became very famous only now, after filming of the film "Leviathan". Here, in the tundra zone, where the cold sky meets the cold earth and is reflected in the cold water, there was a commercial whaling village. Today this village is beautiful, perhaps, only because of its nature, because most of the infrastructure is abandoned and is in a very poor condition. It is the combination of the decline of civilization against the backdrop of harsh landscapes that makes this place eeriely beautiful. On the contrary, the village of Esso is full of health in the middle snowy Kamchatka, because she is surrounded on all sides by hot thermal springs. Happy people live here who even manage to grow grapes in this climate. And every year the most famous dog sled race.

The very first and the very last villages


The ancient merchant village of Vyatskoye is located in the Nekrasovsky district - one of the most environmentally friendly and historically significant areas of the Yaroslavl region.


The village of Vyatskoye was first mentioned in documentary sources in 1502 as the center of the metropolitan Vyatskaya volost.

Each village found is solemnly awarded the honorary title of “Most Beautiful”, given a corresponding plaque, and a special inauguration ceremony is held. After which the village is included in the list of its own kind. There are only six officially recognized beautiful villages on Russian territory, but we must not forget that the list was opened only in 2015. The very first was recognized beautiful village, or rather the village, . Ancient merchant houses, almost each of which is an architectural monument, as well as ten museums of completely different types: from traditional to polytechnic. The last village to be included in the listin Karelia, whose inauguration took place on June 10, 2016. The village, which was included in the scribe books back in the 16th century, and began its history with four farms, now consists of only 16 ancient Karelian houses, the Chapel of the Smolensk Mother of God and five residents, two of whom have a family tree with local roots going back 500 years.

There are so many village names that can be found throughout the vastness of Rus' - from the poetic and sublime, like Pospelovo, Voznesensky or Krasavino, to the amusing, ridiculous and even incidental: Durnovo and Khrenovo, Snova Zdorovo and Popki, Bald Balda and Kozyavkino.

However, don't be so quick to laugh. If something in Rus' seems funny to you, it means you simply don’t know something.

There were a great many principles by which villages and villages were named in Russia. For example, the names could be preserved as the names of administrative units.

The centers of the boyars' possessions were called the Great or Great Court, a fortified settlement was called a town, a village with a church and a cemetery was called a graveyard. The village, which began with a single yard, was called Pochinok, and the inhabitants of the village of Slobodki or Sloboda were once exempt from taxes. Settlements Stan, Stanovaya, Stanovishche received their names from the camps that were set up on the roads - princes or their governors stopped in them to collect taxes.

Local

The basic principle by which the Russians named their settlements was the name after the place on which the village stood. It could be named after a river or lake, or according to some special sign: Vysoka Gorka, Big Stone, Zalesovo, Zaplivino, Bolshoy Lug, Istok.

The village of Pazukha near Veliky Ustyug got its name from the word “bosom”, which meant “backwater, bay”; the village of Porog stood near a stone ridge. The names of the villages Prislon and Prislo come from the noun prislon, which meant “mountainous river bank,” that is, the villages stood on the bank, on a hill.

The name Bear's Vzvoz says not only that bears lived in the forests near the village, but also that it stands on a steep slope - on the "vzvoz"

The village of Babka near Voronezh, according to one version, received its name from the pelicans that lived here, which in Rus' were called bird women, and according to another, near the village there are many women - stone idols.

No one fried anyone in Zharenny Bugr; the word “Fried” came into the name from the Turkic language, in which “jar” meant “steep, steep bank.” And the village of Suchkino received its name from the uprooted arable land, which was previously called sukami.

The village of Istopnaya stood on a river flowing from a swamp, “swamp”; In ancient times, the name of the village of Isada meant a place of landing, loading, and a pier. The name of the village of Ryzhesidenie comes from “seat” - a piece of land that the settler cultivated.

By nickname

Villages in Rus' were called by the name common among the inhabitants, for example, Petrovo, Ivanovo, Yudino - the latter comes from the modified Christian name Judas.

Villages were named after the first or last name of their founder-first settler, for example, the village of Elakino in the Veliko-Ustyug region received its name from the family nickname of the pioneers Sava and Karp, who were called “Elakinsky” (“Arctic fox books of the Russian North”). The names of the villages Klepik and Klepikovskaya come from the nickname Klepik, Klyapa, which in Rus' was used to call crooked, stooped people.

Kurilovo received its name from the nickname of the founder of the village Kurilo, which meant “drunkard, reveler.” The name of the village of Pestovo goes back to the old Russian nickname Pest, which meant a stupid, stubborn person.” And the villages of Suslovka, Susolovka, Susol were named in honor of Susol, who received his nickname from the verb “susolit”, that is, “drink”, “suck”. Bolshaya Rudnitsa came from the name Ruda, which is no longer used, Kiev - from Kiya, and Makhnovo from the abbreviated name Matvey (N.V. Anisimova “What the names of our places say”).

Zagoskino took its name from the nickname Zagoska - cuckoo, and Ratchino - from the name Ratch, Ratibor, Porkhovka - from the name Porkh, and Shilovo - from the nickname Shil.

By occupation

This is the most understandable principle of the name of the village - blacksmiths lived in Kuznetsovo, cattlemen lived in Velyatino or Velyacheye, leather was tanned in Kozhino, rocker arms were bent in Koromyslovo, and vats for kvass and beer were made in Doshchanovo (doschan - vat), harnesses were made in Khomutovo, Grammateevo was inhabited by literate people, the village of Khrenovo was famous for its fields of horseradish, in which local peasants specialized, and in Dobrye Pchely they were engaged in beekeeping.

By the names of animals and trees

The village could have been named after the animals for which the surrounding thickets were famous. For example, Lisya Gorka, Badgers, Komarovo, Gusevo, Zhuravlikha, Teterki, Kuliki, Vydrino, Shatunovo, Polozovo.

Or by the species of trees and shrubs that grew nearby - Sosnovka, Liptsy, Dubovaya, Dubye, Veresovka, Lozovitsy.

The village of Durnikha in the Moscow region is named after the old name for blueberries - this berry was called durnika, and the locals collected it in large quantities in the summer. The village of Cheremsha was famous for its wild garlic, and in Cheremukhono there were a lot of bird cherry trees. Forests near Myasny Bor in Novgorod region were rich in living creatures and game.

On church holidays

Villages and villages with such names were spread throughout Russia and Siberia: Arkhangelskoye, Uspenka, Postnoye, Vosrkesenka, Nikolskoye, Bogorodskoye, Troitskoye. Sometimes there are also pagan names, for example, Staroperunovo and Novoperunovo.

Adapted titles

In some places, the Turkic names of villages were changed into Russian, and now one can only guess what this name meant before. For example, the name of the Transbaikal village of Khokhotuy may have previously sounded in Buryat as Khogotuy or Khogotoy, which meant birch forest, or Khokhutuy, that is, tract, road.

In the Volgograd region there is the village of Tsatsa, the name of which most likely goes back to the Kolmyk name of a Buddhist chapel. And the village of Baldeika in Udmurtia is named after the Tatar word “buldy”, which means “successful completion of a task”

In honor of the events

Some villages are named after some event, often anecdotal. For example, Pancake Heaps in the Smolensk region received their name from the pancakes with which village residents greeted Empress Catherine II. And Again Zdorovo got its name from two landowners who always said hello in one place. The village of Trakhoneevo was named after the Byzantine family of Trakhaneots, whose representatives were present at the wedding of Sophia Paleolog and Ivan III. And the Posolkoye village in Buryatia is named after the ambassadors who were killed by nomads in this place.
