Answer from Roman Kapustin[newbie]
The village of Solovikha and the Village of Petropavlovskoye (Petropavlovka)

For real beautiful villages in Russia there are not very many left, they are painstakingly collected and numbered by specialists of historical and security organizations in order to carefully preserve the remaining crumbs. Today in the list of "not yet lost" there will be a little more than a dozen. Each of them is interesting in terms of history, architecture, traditional way of life. Each will leave a mark in the heart after visiting.

So, the most beautiful villages Russia:

The most colorful villages

Desyatnikovo village. Buryatia. The first mention is 1746.

Desyatnikovo village consists of five streets.

Currently, 778 people live in the village of Desyatnikovo.

The village of Desyatnikovo is located near the Selenga River.

Atsagat village. 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 is located along the Kuytunka River (the right tributary of the Selenga)

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 "khunilla", which in 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 similar at all, there are four villages in Buryatia at once, located approximately at the same distance to the east and south of Ulan-Ude.Desyatnikovo, Atsagat, Tarbagatai and Bolshoi 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 ceilings are painted even brighter. Such traditional decoration was very typical for wealthy peasant houses. No less striking are the traditional folk costumes, it seems that the most cheerful people in the world live in these villages, who do not want to part with their childhood. Meanwhiletraditional culture of Tarbagatai villagewas hailed as a "Masterpiece of Oral and intangible heritage Humanity" by UNESCO. And the village of Atsagat is also one of the religious centers region. Back in 1825, a datsan was erected here, which brought up more than one generation of lamas. And local herbs can be found even in the atlases of Tibetan medicine.

The oldest villages

The village of Staraya Ladoga was founded in 753.

Until 1703, Ladoga was a city.

According to the Novgorod Chronicle, the grave of the 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 Schötkonung, Princess Ingigerda, married the Novgorod prince Yaroslav the Wise in 1019, she received the city of Aldeigyuborg (Staraya Ladoga) with the adjacent lands, which have since received the name Ingermanlandia (the land of Ingegerda), as a dowry (veno).

Afanasievskaya Church in Varzuga.

Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin in Varzuga.

The main source of income for the local population at all times was the sale of salmon caught in the Varzuga River.

Perhaps it was the harsh northern weather, frosts and winds and ice that contributed to the fact thatthe most ancient villages in Russiaare located in the northwest, in the Leningrad and Murmansk regions: Staraya Ladoga and Varzuga. Let's not argue who is older than them, let's leave it to specialists, the history of both of them has 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 Russia ruled here. She was the biggest shopping mall even before Novgorod, and the walls of its fortress were stormed by the Swedes. She 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 as many as five were built here, were built without a single nail, like many religious buildings of northern masters. Here wasPatriarchal House of the Solovetsky Monasterytherefore, the lands and springs around are holy. And the main industry local residents were salmon fishing and pearling, which gave birth to the Varzuga River.

The harshest villages

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

The village got its name from the Teriberka river 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 did not have a road connection and it was possible to get there either by sea or by helicopter.

The village of Esso got its name in 1932.

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

The village of Esso is called "Kamchatka Switzerland".

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

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

The very first and the very last village

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 Vyatka volost.

The village of Vyatskoye is a unique town-planning complex of the 18th – 19th centuries with more than 50 registered architectural monuments, former merchant and peasant houses, tea and tavern establishments, almshouses.

Not so long ago, Russia joined the world association that is looking for the most beautiful villages on earth in every country. The main selection criteria are: the village must be alive, not museumified, it must have no more than 2,000 inhabitants, and the rural way of life must be preserved. Each found village is solemnly awarded the honorary title of "Most Beautiful", a corresponding plate is issued, and a special inauguration ceremony is held. After that, the village falls into the list of its own kind. There are only six officially recognized beautiful villages in Russia so far, but we must not forget that the list was opened only in 2015. The very first was recognized as a beautiful village, or rather a village, . Old merchant houses, almost each of which is a monument of architecture, as well as ten museums of completely different directions: from traditional to polytechnic. The last village on the listin Karelia, whose inauguration took place on June 10, 2016. The village, which got into the scribe books back in the 16th century, and began its history with four households, now consists of only 16 old Karelian houses, the Chapel of the Smolensk Mother of God and five residents, two of whom have a family tree with local roots of 500 years.

What in Russia, with all the desire, it is impossible to complain - about the lack of beautiful settlements. In this regard, the scope is unlimited: here and historical monuments, and wonderful landscapes, and the ultimate naturalness, and even modern architectural finds. Let's talk about ten most picturesque villages in Russia(we give in a conditional order, since we would not like to distribute them in places, making up the top 10).

Vyatskoe

It is unlikely that this village, invariably included in all lists and ratings, needs to be introduced; suffice it to point out the fact that there are ten museums in the settlement, a colossal number of pre-revolutionary buildings. Nature is also conducive to relaxation and study: Vyatka is “framed” by rivers and valleys on all sides. This is an ideal option for those travelers who do not like to give up comfort: there are three hotels, a restaurant, and a cinema.

Kinerma

Getting here is not easy: the village is located in Karelia. Structure - seventeen structures, ten of which belong to architectural monuments. In the center you can see the cemetery of Catherine's time; there is also a restored chapel. There is a smoke sauna, a well, a barn; not without a small and already quite modern hotel.

space lake

The wonderful location near the lake, which is distinguished by its peculiar shape (similar to a river one), determines the popularity of the settlement. Hayfields, ancient huts, courtyards and, of course, the bewitching tented Assumption Church (built in 1720) - that's what will appear before the eyes of those who have arrived in the village.

Staraya Ladoga

Speaking of the oldest villages in Russia, it is impossible to omit old Ladoga- a settlement whose history began more than a thousand years ago. Although not many people live here today, once the path “from the Varangians to the Greeks” began in this place (it was one of the largest settlements in Ancient Russia).

Yasnaya Polyana

A trip to Yasnaya Polyana is recommended not only for those who are not indifferent to the classics of critical realism and connoisseurs of Leo Tolstoy's novels, but also for everyone who appreciates the combination of natural naturalness and architectural elegance. Being discreet, the village strikes the imagination precisely with its conciseness. Among the attractions: the writer's house, the remains of the greenhouse, the Middle Pond, the park.

Nikolo-Lenivets

Initially, the settlement did not stand out in any way: it seemed that Nikolo-Lenivets was another of the villages of Russia gradually falling into disrepair. However, thanks to the efforts of Vasily Shchetinin, a well-known enthusiastic architect, who appeared here, it turned into a real creative gallery of folk art. The most amazing thing is that absolutely everything here is made by hand.

Tarbagatai

There are many wonderful villages in Buryatia (among the famous ones: Desyatnikovo, Bolshoi Kunaley, Atsagat); the most famous of them is Varbagatai, which is located fifty-two kilometers from Ulan-Ude. Founded in the 18th century, the settlement at one time served as a home for the Old Believers; Until now, here you can see the buildings erected by them, which are distinguished by their colorful coloring, wonderful fences and unusual shutters.

Chamerevo

The village boasts rich history: once the family of the writer Griboyedov lived here (and Alexander Sergeevich himself in childhood), Ivan the Terrible also came here. Also in the village is the holy spring of Alexander Nevsky. Panoramic landscapes around and the well-groomed village itself make this place one of the most interesting for Russian travelers.

Vorzogory

The village is located right on the shores of the White Sea and dates back to the 16th century. It was already known then: wooden ships were built here for the monks of the Solovetsky Monastery. In the village itself, you can see the wooden temple of Zosima and Savvaty of Solovetsky (erected in the middle of the 19th century) and the “wooden tee”, consisting of the St. Nicholas Church (17th century), the Vvedenskaya Church (end of the 18th century) and the bell tower (18th century) .

Oshevensky Pogost

You should not be afraid of the name: the village of Pogost, which is also called Oshevensky Pogost, has been a wonderful place and one of the most beautiful villages in Russia for several centuries. Here is the monastery of St. Alexander Oshevensky, the Church of the Epiphany (18th century), the bell tower, Popov's house-yard.

What kind of village names are not found in the expanses of Russia - from poetic and sublime, like Pospelovo, Voznesensky or Krasavino to funny, funny and even bizarre: Durnovo and Khrenovo, Again Healthy and Popki, Bald Balda and Kozyavkino.

However, don't be too quick to laugh. If something in Russia seems funny to you, it means that you simply do not know something.

There were a great many principles by which villages and villages were called 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 Big Courtyard, the fortified settlement was called the Gorodok, the village with the church and the cemetery was called the Graveyard. The village, which began with a single yard, was called Pochinok, and the inhabitants of the village of Slobodka or Sloboda were once exempt from taxes. The settlements Stan, Stanovaya, Stanovishche got their names from the camps that were arranged on the roads - princes or their governors stopped there to collect taxes.

Local

The basic principle by which the Russians called their settlements was the name after the place where the village stood. She could be named after a river or lake, according to some special sign: High Hill, Bolshoi Kamen, Zalesovo, Zaplyvino, Bolshoy Meadow, Istok.

The village of Pazukhi near Veliky Ustyug got its name from the word "pazukha", which meant "backwater, bay"; the village of Porog stood at the stone ridge. The name of the villages Prislon and Prislo came from the noun prislon, which meant "mountainous river bank", that is, the villages stood on the shore, on a hill.

The name Medvezhiy Vzvoz says not only that bears lived in the forests near the village, but also that it stands on a steeper - on the "vzvoz"

According to one version, the village of Babka near Voronezh got its name from the pelicans that lived here, which in Russia were called birds-women, and according to another, there are many women-stone idols near the village.

In the Roasted Hillock, no one fried anyone, the word “Roasted” came into the name from the Turkic language, in which “dzhar” meant “steep, steep coast”. And the village of Suchkino got its name from the uprooted arable land, which was previously called bitches.

The village of Istopnaya stood on a river flowing from a swamp, "swamp"; the name of the village of Isada in the old days meant a place of landing, loading, a pier. The name of the village Ryzhesidene comes from the "seat" - a piece of land that was cultivated by the settler.

By nickname

Villages in Russia were called by a common name among the inhabitants, for example, Petrovo, Ivanovo, Yudino - the latter comes from the changed Christian name Judas.

The villages were called by the name or surname of its founder-first settler, for example, the village of Elakino in the Veliko-Ustyug region got its name from the family name of the first followers of Sava and Karp, who were called "Elakinsky" ("Arctic Fox Books of the Russian North"). The names of the villages Klepik, Klepikovskaya came from the nickname Klepik, Gag, which in Russia was called crooked, stooped people.

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

Zagoskino took its name from the nickname Zagoska - cuckoo, and Ratchino - from the name of Ratch, Ratibor, Porkhovka - from the name of 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 Telyatino or Telyachye, tanned leather in Koromyslovo, rocker arms were bent in Koromyslovo, and vats for kvass and beer were made in Doshchanovo (doschan - vat), in Khomutovo they made harness, in Literate people lived in Grammateyevo, the village of Khrenovo was famous for its fields of horseradish, in which local peasants specialized, and in Good Bees they were engaged in beekeeping.

By the name of animals and trees

The village could be named after the animals for which the thickets surrounding it were famous. For example, Lisya Gorka, Badgers, Komarovo, Gusevo, Crane, Teterki, Sandpipers, Vydrino, Shatunovo, Polozovo.

Or according to the species of trees and shrubs that grew nearby - Sosnovka, Liptsy, Oak, Dubye, Veresovka, Lozovitsy.

The village of Durnikha in the Moscow region is called so by the old name of the blueberry - this berry was called the durnikha, and the locals picked it in the summer in in large numbers. The village of Cheremsha was famous for wild garlic, and a lot of bird cherry grew in Cheremukhono. The forests near Myasny Bor in the Novgorod region were rich in living creatures and game.

On church holidays

Villages and villages with such names were distributed 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 Trans-Baikal village Khokhotuy may have previously sounded in Buryat as Hogotuy or Hogotoy, which meant a birch forest, or Khohutui, that is, a path, a road.

In the Volgograd region there is the village of Tsatsa, the name of which, most likely, goes back to the Kolmyk name of the Buddhist chapel. And the village of Baldeyka in Udmurtia is called so from the Tatar word "buldy", which means "successful completion of the case"

In honor of the events

Some villages are named after some event, often anecdotal. For example, Pancake Heaps in the Smolensk region got their name from the pancakes that the villagers used to greet Empress Catherine II. And Again Zdorovo got its name from two landowners who always greeted each other in one place. The village of Trakhoneevo was named after the Byzantine family of Trakhaneotes, whose representatives were present at the wedding of Sophia Paleolog and Ivan III. And the Embassy village in Buryatia is named after the ambassadors who were killed by the nomads at this place.
