What color are large stars. Name of white stars: description and characteristics

It makes no sense to hide the fact that abandoned villages and other settlements are the object of research for many people who are passionate about treasure hunting (and not only) people. There is also a place for lovers of attic search to roam, and “ring out” the basements of abandoned houses, explore wells, and more. etc. Of course, the likelihood that your colleagues or local residents have visited this locality before you is very high, but, nevertheless, there are no “knocked out places”.

Causes that lead to the depopulation of villages

Before starting the enumeration of the reasons, I would like to dwell on the terminology in more detail. There are two concepts - abandoned settlements and disappeared settlements.

Disappeared settlements - geographic features, today, completely ceased to exist due to military operations, man-made and natural disasters, time. In the place of such points, one can now observe a forest, a field, a pond, anything, but not standing abandoned houses. This category of objects is also interesting for treasure hunters, but now we are not talking about them.

Abandoned villages just belong to the category of abandoned settlements, i.e. settlements, villages, farms, etc., abandoned by the inhabitants. Unlike the disappeared settlements, the abandoned ones for the most part retain their architectural appearance, buildings and infrastructure, i.e. are in a state close to the time when the settlement was abandoned. So people left, why? The decline in economic activity that we can see now, when people from the villages tend to move to the city; wars; disasters of a different nature (Chernobyl and its environs); other conditions that make living in this region inconvenient, unprofitable.

How to find abandoned villages?

Naturally, before heading headlong to the search site, it is necessary to prepare a theoretical base, saying in simple terms, calculate these very supposed places. A number of specific sources and tools will help us with this.

To date, one of the most accessible and sufficiently informative sources is Internet:

The second fairly popular and accessible source These are conventional topographic maps. It would seem, how can they be useful? Yes, very simple. First, enough famous maps The General Staff has already marked both tracts and non-residential villages. It is important to understand one thing here, that the tract is not only an abandoned settlement, but simply any part of the area that is different from the rest of the surrounding areas. And yet, there may not be any village on the site of the tract for a long time, well, nothing, walk around with a metal detector among the pits, collect metal debris, and then you look and get lucky. With non-residential villages, too, not everything is simple. They may turn out to be not entirely uninhabited, but used, say, as dachas or may be inhabited illegally. In this case, I see no reason to do anything, no one needs problems with the law, and the local population can be quite aggressive.

If we compare the same map of the General Staff and a more modern atlas, we can notice some differences. For example, there was a village in the forest at the General Staff, a road led to it and suddenly the road to more modern map disappeared, most likely, the inhabitants left the village and began to bother with the repair of roads, etc.

The third source is local newspapers, local population, local museums. Communicate more with natives, interesting topics there are always people to talk to, and in the meantime, you can ask about the historical past of the region. What can the locals say? Yes, a lot of things, the location of the estate, the manor's pond, where there are abandoned houses or even abandoned villages, etc.

Local media is also a fairly informative source. Especially now even the most provincial newspapers are trying / trying to get their own website, where they diligently post individual notes or even entire archives. Journalists go to many places on their business, interview, including old-timers, who like to mention various interesting facts in the course of their stories.

Do not hesitate to go to provincial local history museums. Not only are their expositions often interesting, but a museum employee or guide can also tell you a lot of interesting things.

It all started with one photo taken when I was fishing looking at the village on the opposite shore of the lake. I zoomed in and the outlines of the old church appeared...
Of course, the next weekend we went fishing through the village. And when I returned, I sat down to look.

The first photo is across the lake.

The village of Sugoyak is located one hundred kilometers northeast of Chelyabinsk. At the beginning of the 20th century, the village belonged to the Shadrinsk district of the Perm province, in different periods of the Soviet era it was part of the Miass, Brodokolmak and Krasnoarmeisky districts.
The exact etymology of the word "Sugoyak" is unknown. "Su" in Bashkir - "water", "Ayak" - "leg". According to various versions, the name of the lake can be translated as "wet foot", "cold foot", "water stop".
The exact date of the founding of the village has not been established, but there is interesting evidence of the antiquity of this locality. In the "Essays on the disasters of the Dalmatov Monastery and part of the region from 1644 to 1742" by Archpriest Grigory Plotnikov, published in the "Perm Diocesan Gazette" for 1869, when describing the Bashkir uprising of 1736, the village of Sugoyak is already mentioned. Meanwhile, the village of Miasskaya (now the village of Miassskoye), as well as the city of Chelyabinsk, were founded precisely in 1736. Consequently, the village of Sugoyak is older than these settlements.
The neighboring village of Russkaya Techa, located just 10 km away, was founded by a peasant Ivan Sinitsyn under the name Beloyarskaya Sloboda in 1682, then it became known as Techenskaya Sloboda. Russian Techa - the oldest Russian settlement throughout the Chelyabinsk region.

One of the old Sugoyak houses

Perhaps Sugoyak also arose at the end of the 17th century. This could be facilitated by the proximity of the Russian Techa, which played an important role in the formation of the Chelyabinsk Territory (the former Iset province), the first administrative center which the Russian Techa was in the first half of the 18th century.
About the church. Sugoyak Elijah Church built and consecrated in 1868. The decision to build a stone church was made at a secular gathering. They were built according to the classical Russian technology, using chicken eggs for the preparation of a cementing mortar. The church was closed in 1932, according to the recollections of old-timers, the authorities tried to destroy it and even brought a wall-beating machine for this purpose.

However, all they could do was to beat off the plaster in places and tear the crosses off the domes; the cross on the bell tower has remained to this day the highest point in the vicinity. What the wall-beating machine failed to do, the inexorable time is slowly doing - the church is gradually being destroyed. locals they removed the iron sheets from the domes, tore out part of the openwork gratings from the windows in order to sell them for scrap metal; one of the marble cemetery slabs lying next to the church disappeared somewhere - perhaps it was also useful to someone in the household. During the years of Soviet power, Ilyinsky Church was used as a warehouse for vegetables and a garage. Due to the fact that the garage was rather dry, even in the 80s of the XX century, the remains of frescoes and commemorative inscriptions could be seen there.

Elias Church today (my photos):

They say that the Soviet authorities were unable to requisition church property in full - part of the utensils and salaries made of precious metals were either taken out or hidden by the clergy. According to one version, the treasure was hidden somewhere under the church building, where there were basements and an underground passage, possibly leading to the priest's house, which is still standing opposite. The beginning of the collapsed underground passage could be seen at the end of the 20th century.

Popov's house (it seemed strange, more like a merchant's shop). We did not find the beginning of the collapsed underground passage.

Historical facts are cited from an article by Irina PASHNINA, Sugoyak village ("Ural Pathfinder", No. 12, 2006)

Elias Church in the village of Sugoyak (consecrated in 1868)

Studying the maps of the Chelyabinsk district, winding on his two-wheeled transport along the roads around Chelyabinsk, he suddenly discovered that the village of Shcherbaki had disappeared very close to the city limits.

On the site of the former village, there are three mighty ancient poplars that are difficult to grasp even for a small company. To the side stands another poplar.

Having gone on a short journey through Shagol, the stopping point "226 km" and Zavarukhino, crossed the Sorochy log stream,

arrived at the proposed place of settlement. On the site of the village, built back in the 18th century, only four poplars and barely noticeable mounds, overgrown with quinoa and nettles, remained. From the hill where the clay quarry is located, Bukharino to the West and Zavaruhino to the North are clearly visible. Zyuzelga in this place flows in small loops, is very picturesque and quite rich in small fish.

In some places you can simply step over it, in some places it spills up to 3 meters with clearly visible whirlpools.
In old maps, Shcherbaki are already marked on the plan general survey 1800-05

On the map of the gold mines of the early 20th century, there are also Shcherbaki

When did this village disappear, located just a few kilometers from the high-rise buildings of the North-West, located by the way in a beautiful place, with relatively clean Zyuzelga. After all, Bukharino has not disappeared; moreover, it is now being built up with Chelyabinsk residents' cottages. Maybe someone knows, share information. Favorite source of information, encyclopedia" Chelyabinsk region' doesn't say anything at all.

The village of Popovka is located in a picturesque corner of the Chebarkulsky district - in the middle of Varlamovsky pine forest, by the way, a difficult forest area, and a regional natural monument classified as a forest reserve.

Troitsk diesel plant is a huge complex of buildings. The aluminum alloy casting workshop is located in three separate buildings with a total area of ​​4,500 sq. m. The plant is surrounded by a two-meter fence around the perimeter, which is very easy to climb, because metal bars stick out of it in places. Throughout the factory and inside the buildings there is a pile of iron. The fact that the so-called "throwers" have not yet reached him ...

The plant in Zlatoust, which is now called Bulat. On its territory, the dismantling of everything that is sold is actively underway. The territory of the plant is huge - there is a large boiler room, impressive workshops, warehouses. In the largest workshop, all the machines were taken out, only bare walls remained. In the boiler room, everything is in its place, but they will soon get to it. There is a warehouse across the river, the doors of which are sealed. From protection - only dogs.

An abandoned workshop near an operating enterprise in the city of Kyshtym. Small in size, consists of production premises and several rooms. There was no equipment left inside, only some furniture in the administrative part. There are remnants of Soviet posters on the walls. It is located in close proximity to the fence of an operating enterprise, so there is a risk of being barked by dogs.
