In order to officially abolish locality, it is necessary to pass a corresponding law Novosibirsk region in two readings. On October 10, deputies of the regional Council unanimously voted for similar laws regarding the village of Blinkovo, the village of Kuzminka 1st, the village of Orlovsky, the settlement “Kazarma 3208 km” and the village of Lezhnevsky. The abolition of another settlement - the village of Barabinka - is only a matter of time: the document on its abolition was approved by deputies in the first reading. The described settlements belonged to the Vengerovsky, Chulymsky, Kochenevsky and Chistoozerny districts of the NSO.

Judging by the websites of district administrations and the NSO administration, most of the villages abolished on October 10 were deserted ten years ago - in the late 90s. For example, according to Anna Sharushinskaya, deputy of the Council of Deputies of the Povarensky Village Council of the Kochenevsky District of the Novosibirsk Region, the last resident left the village of Barabinka back in 1999. “Today there are no houses, no communications, no infrastructure - just a large area with the remains of ruins,” a representative of the village administration describes the situation.

As explained during the meeting with reference to Novosibirskstat, the deputy chairman of the regional council committee on public policy, legislation and local self-government Oleg Manuylov, in the territory of the NSO in 2005 there were 43 settlements in which no one lived, and 31 settlements with a population of 1 to 5 people. At the same time, as Oleg Manuilov clarified, from 2002 to 2009 the regional Council of Deputies abolished 26 settlements abandoned by people. Thus, since the beginning of the century, about 100 villages and villages have been deserted in the Novosibirsk region.

It is interesting that many of the “black hundred” extinct villages and hamlets have no less rich history than the city of Novosibirsk. For example, the village of Kuzminka 1, which was blacklisted on October 10, was founded in 1825 - almost 70 years earlier than the capital of Siberia.

According to an employee of the Institute of Economics of the SB RAS, the famous Novosibirsk demographer Svetlana Soboleva, Novosibirsk villages are disappearing for several reasons: lack of work, closing schools and difficulties in maintaining an effective subsistence economy. “The option of producing vegetables and livestock products in the form of subsidiary farming seems obvious. However, the problem is that due to the extremely poor condition of the roads, as well as the huge distances, the villagers are not able to regularly travel to the city and sell their products. The same problem of inaccessibility to transport makes the so-called “commuting migration” impossible, when villagers go to work in the city or regional center. Due to the population decline, schools are closing, which further encourages the remaining residents to move to the city,” the expert explains the phenomenon.

According to Novosibirskstat, at the beginning of 2009, 1,397,191 people lived in Novosibirsk - more than half of the region's population (52.9%).

Over the past year, the number of its residents increased by 6.7 thousand people (0.5%), and the largest number of residents was registered in the Leninsky district (271.6 thousand people). According to Novosibirskstat reports, the losses of the rural population in the rural-urban direction in 2008 amounted to 1,812 people, while in 2007 - only 1,393 people.

According to Svetlana Soboleva, the creation of so-called “family estates” can have a positive impact on the situation with villages disappearing from the map of the region.

“In order for people to have a place to work, it is necessary to move small and medium-sized production from the city to the villages - for example, assembling simple appliances or making clothes from ready-made materials. In order for people to be motivated to stay “on the land,” it is necessary to simplify the system of obtaining large plots of land as family property, that is, one that passes from generation to generation. There will be production - there will be roads, there will be people - there will be schools,” says demographer Svetlana Soboleva.

The villages of Voznesenka and Filoshenka arose earlier than other Russian settlements in the Novosibirsk region.

The list of the oldest villages in the Novosibirsk region turned out to be much wider than the top 10. There are at least about 20 of them. Lack of official chronology, confirmation historical facts leave the question open for study.

However, in most historical documents and encyclopedias village Filoshenka The Vengerovsky district is named as the oldest Russian settlement on the territory of the modern Novosibirsk region, founded in 1418.

The second oldest settlement in the Vengerovsky district is the village Voznesenka- the town of Ton-Nur, founded during the Siberian Khanate. (The village began to be called Voznesenka in 1753).

Philoshenka - in honor of Philoshenka

Filoshenka is a village on the banks of the Aryntsass River, Vengerovsky district. The village of Aryntsass (aka Kanisaevskaya, Kuchumova, Dobrovolskaya), the village of Boleslaevka, the village of Kachugach, the villages of Aryntsass and Morozovo, the village of Ulutsk were part of the Filoshensky Village Council. Today, the municipality of the Filoshensky village council includes the village of Filoshenka and the village of Ulutsk.

The first resident of the village of Filoshenka, according to legend, was Filoha. Then four Chernikovs, Batelovs, and Zyryanovs arrived.

There is a legend that when surveyors designated a place for a village, the question arose of what to name the settlement. A dispute arose between Filokha and the Chernikovs. They decided that the village would be named after the one who brought the most alcohol to the people. Philoha won this dispute. The village began to be called Filoshenka. It is believed that the village of Aryntsass arose earlier than Filoshenka and by the time of settlement in Filoshenka, there were 12 households in Aryntsass.

According to the Memorial Book of the Tomsk Province (Tomsk, 1904), in the village of Filoshensky, formed in 1418 and located near the Aryntsass River, there were 69 households, 212 men and 224 women lived.

In the village of Filoshenke in 1911 there were 2 creameries and a trading store. It belonged to the private owner Bogdansky, then another shop opened - Martyn Stepanovich Apunik.

One creamery belonged to A.G. Freiman.

In 1926, the village council was organized. M. Korshunov became the first Chairman of the Council. The Filoshensky Village Council included the villages of Boleslaevka, Kachugach and Ulutsk. On the territory of the present Filosheni municipality there were originally two village councils: Aryntsas Village Council and Filoshena Village Council

In the same year, the first 1st level (3-year) school was opened. At first, the children were taught at home. Parents took turns allowing children to conduct classes in their home. The first teachers were the Romanovs. Then the children were taught by Lidia Vasilievna and Korney Nikitovich Novak.

In 1927, the first school building was built.

In 1929, the first artel called “First Life” was formed in Filoshenka, the chairman of which was Martyn Stepanovich Apunik. In 1939, on the territory of Filoshenka, a collective farm named after. "18th Party Congress".

Lesson labor training at school

In 2000, the administration of the Filoshensky village council was renamed into the administration of the municipal formation of the Filoshensky village council. The head of the settlement is Alik Abtrakhimov. Today, 150 people live in the village of Filoshenka, there is a primary school, a first-aid post, and a post office.

For reference

The village has a 570-year history Shibkovo Iskitimsky district. There is a version that it got its name in honor of one of the first settlers, freedom-loving Novgorodians.

Date of village formation Verkh-Suzun In the Suzunsky district, the year 1526 is listed in all archival documents. The first settlers were fugitive peasants from the European part of Russia. Residents celebrated the 440th anniversary of their village in 2016 Boltovo. Among the old residents of the district and village Cue balls.

Around 1644, a village was formed on the Berd River Maslyanino.

In 1695, the zaimka was founded by the boyar's son Alexei Kruglik. Kruglikovo in the Bolotninsky district. In the Bolotninsky district the oldest villages are called Oyash, founded by the Tatars back in the 15th century, as well as Achu, Kornilovo, Krivoyash.

In the Toguchinsky district, the 485th anniversary of the village was celebrated in 2015 Kiik. And the first mentions of Toguchin date back to 1600.

The first Russian settlements on the territory of the modern Novosibirsk region include the village Genghis Ordynsky district. In 2010, the villagers celebrated his anniversary - the 390th anniversary.

From Ershovo today only the ruins of the former school remain, still remembering children's laughter.
A peeling and forgotten monument to Ershov freedom fighters, and a graveyard with a cemetery,
where else do children and grandchildren come to visit their ancestors? Thus the wheel of history turned
and the millstones of power that the village was founded in 1676, long before the emergence of Suzun
ceased to exist and was wiped off the face of the earth due to unprofitability and remoteness.

The village of Satym was born in the first decades of development of the right bank of the Ob. Its founders
like most Ob villages, there were former quitrent peasants, Cossacks and dragoons
children or retired Cossacks. Perhaps somewhere, someday, information about its first
residents, but neither I nor my friends have come across them yet.

The earliest that was found is Confessional painting of the Peter and Paul Church in the village of Chingiskoye on 1825.
The church has existed there since 1807. In it, at the arrival of the Kolyvan district, Chingis volost, there are
Villages affiliated with the church:
Abrashinskaya, Milovanova, Maletina, Sokolova, Klyuchi, Belopukhova, Stolbovaya, Dresvyanskaya, Nizhne-Kamenskaya,
Eresnaya, Bitkova, Artamonova, Ersheva,Krutinskaya.

Those. at the beginning of the 19th century, the village was already listed as Ershova, but on maps of the 18th century only the name Satym appears.

The construction of the church in Ershov began only in 1910, so in 1825 all Orthodox residents went to services in Chingis.
New churches arose, parishes changed, and a couple of years later Ershovites could go to other nearby churches.
Since 1862, services were held in the Bitkovo church in the name of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. And since 1896 in Myshlanskaya
St. Michael's Church.

The first data that I came across from audits is dated 1859, but it is not a fact that this is the first available data about Ershov.
So by revision 1859 in the village of Ershovo there were 40 courtyards, in which 120 male and 131 female souls lived.

IN List of populated places in the Tomsk province for 1893 year in the Ershov village there are 243 residents, 53 peasant and 12 non-peasant households.

The next one is the same list for 1899 in the village of Ershovaya, Chingis volost, Barnaul district, the number of farms increased by more than
than twice as much as in 1959. There were 86 peasants and one non-peasant. I wonder what is causing the decrease in non-peasant households?
Of the residents, there were 234 men and 237 women. There was a literacy school.
The amount of land owned by the village was 6297 dessiatines (by today's standards this is 6879.5 hectares.)

Perhaps this is what the estate of the former Ershov peasant looked like.

According to the following census in 1911 In Ershov there were already 98 households and 424 male and 420 female people lived.
The village began to be called a village because the construction of a church began.
Two small trade shops and one butter factory appeared.

Now 1914 year in Ershov. Data reference book on the Tomsk diocese. I give you a picture.
There are names of church employees.

The news of the revolution came to the Bitkovsky district quickly, but having survived the Kolchakism and the White Czechs, the first Soviet changes
the population felt it only in 1919-20. In 1920, the Ershovsky Rural Council of Workers, Peasants was organized
and Red Army deputies of the Bitkovsky volost of the Cherepanovsky district of the Siberian Territory.
In 1927, in Ershov, half the population was horseless and there were still several families of farm laborers who had not joined
in the agricultural artel and earning a living by being hired as workers.

IN “List of populated places in the Siberian Territory”, compiled already in Soviet times in 1928 the following data is available:
The village of Ershovo (Satym) of the Bitkovsky district of the Kamensky district, model 1676, on the Karakan River has 372 farms and 1898 people.
It is 19 km away from Bitki. from Cherepanov 101 km.
In Ershov there is a village council, a school, and a grocery store.
The village belonged to the Bitkovsky district, they also went to the doctor and the post office there.
Four kilometers from the village there was a cordon of the Chingis forestry, built in 1914, on which two houses
There lived 9 people engaged in the care and release of the forest.

Sales of grain and purchases of Ershov residents.

If the Bitkovites sold their agricultural products in Kamen and purchased goods for the population in Novosibirsk, then the Ershovites strangely did the opposite
grain was sold to Novosibirsk, and purchases were made in Kamen.
On this occasion, I have more than once had questions about how the district’s villages were distributed according to sales and purchases on the RIC lists.
Bedrino, for example, carried out purchases and sales in Zavod-Suzun. Zakovryazhino did the same in Cherepanovo. Flat rented out and purchased everything in Bitki,
and Rozhdestvenka again produced everything in Novosibirsk. I don't see any system.

Suzunsky and Bitkovsky districts existed in parallel for a long time and developed independently. March 2, 1932
Suzunsky and Bitkovsky districts were merged and Ershovo became part of the newly organized Lushnikovsky district, which existed for less than a year
and was renamed Suzunsky.

I have not yet been able to establish the names of the very first agricultural cooperatives and communes in Ershov. But such data is for those interested in Ershov’s history
can be ordered from the district archive. Links to archives are at the end of this material.
The first collective farms I established existed since 1935 and were called “Country of Soviets” and “ New world", later in December 1950 they were merged
to one collective farm named after Andreev. Most likely named after the Soviet pilot, Hero Soviet Union Ivan Andreev.
By 1938, 95.4% of the Ershov peasants had joined collective farms, there were no more horseless people, and according to regional statistics, there were livestock for every peasant family.
7-8 goals each! Life seems to have become better, but the statistics here are false, since it is not the private livestock of the peasants that is taken into account, but the one they used to organize
collective farms were handed over to collective management. And which, despite all the brightness and utopianism of the idea, never became their own.

The decline of one of the oldest villages in Siberia, the village of Ershovo, began at the very end of the 50s, when the Andreev collective farm was closed (1958) and became a department
collective farm named after Lenin in Myshlanka. In 1967, the village council also disappeared. By the decision of the regional executive committee of June 8, 1967, the Ershovsky Village Council was renamed
Myshlansky with the center in the village of Myshlanka.
One of the last managers of the collective farm department in Ershov (3rd brigade) was Kim Nikolaevich Podgorny, sent there by the party cell from Myslanka,
where he was in charge of the post office. After him, Alexander Voronkov and Nikolai Testov also held this position, but the need for this department was slowly and persistently
disappeared, there were fewer and fewer people in the village. However, the four-year Ershov primary school continued to operate. In high school the Ershovskys
The children were already studying at the Myshlan eight-year school. Antonina Karpenko recalls that back in the 70s, their Ershovskys were often teased there:
-Hey, Satym! Where is the smoke coming from?
Because of this, fights often occurred between the Ershov and Myshlan children. And some hostility has persisted to this day.

September 1, 1977, after a collective farm meeting, by popular decision and order of Chairman Vorotnikov, all the last milk cows
were driven in a large herd to Myshlanka. The brick walls of the farms were completely empty. After the closure of the collective farm in Ershov, people began to move to the surrounding
villages, closer to civilization and work. Some moved to Artamonovo, some to Bitki, a couple of families settled in Chinggis, some even moved to the Urals and Uzbekistan.
Thirty to forty families moved to Myshlanka. There they are no longer called Satym in the old fashioned way, and few people are interested in their Ershov origin...

By 1979, the collective farm department was officially closed, which had become completely unprofitable even in those Soviet times with “free” state support.
Accountant Antonina Sharapova recalls that when Ershov was closed and documents were transferred to Myshlanka, she found two old seals in the table,
the first Ershovsky agricultural artels “Country of Soviets” and Andreev’s agricultural artel, which were transferred to Myshlanka.
In 1981, there was not a single living soul left in the village; the empty houses were slowly sold off and taken to other villages. And in the cash-strapped 90s, the place
the villages were completely plowed up and even the boundaries of the estates were no longer visible. In the plowed areas of Ershov's houses, a man's companion grew - tall, stinging nettles,
and the young man, ignorant of the past history, burned by it, will think in his hearts: “Where did you come from here!”
On the 1987 map (see above) there is no longer a trace of the village, only the Artamonovsky ravine and the Ershovo tract remind of something distant and gone.

Today, a traveler or driver will still see the foundations of brick cowsheds, the ruins of the Ershov elementary school, an orphaned monument to those who laid down their lives in the struggle for light.
the future for the Ershovites, whose names no one remembers either. Ershovo is now used as summer grazing land for livestock. The cows kiss the summer kakan water,
they wag their tails and of course they don’t know, and it doesn’t matter at all that here, on this land, measured human life has flowed for many centuries, the swimmers shouted
children, weddings took place, scandals and disputes grew, innocent blood was shed, ordinary Siberian people were born and died.

Village Brownie's Cry

At the unmown boundary
The old maple is stooping,
The cranes reached out
To warm places.
Not a single living soul -
The streets are empty
Only a well crane
I couldn't fly away.

Homemade wine
Drinking doesn't stop
It’s amazing sometimes
Silhouette in the fields.
I run out onto the hill...
And this maple is swaying,
Yes well crane
He bows to me.

I love my village so much
For simplicity, for silence,
Where is the ancient poplar above the river
Still striving for heights.

Where on Saturdays everyone went to the bathhouse,
They drank vigorous kvass from the glacier,
Where pies were baked with mushrooms
In the heat, they are slightly tired.

Where are the kids in a noisy gang?
Splashed by the river all day,
Where behind the abstruse conversation
Old men were smoking terry.

Where in the evenings at the well
The women chattered about their own things,
The path winds through the thick grain
The two of you can't miss each other there.

Where even the sky is not the same
And the stars - here they are, look!
Take off the treasured ladle with your hand
And scoop up infinity.

This was our house where we lived with our parents. My older sister Lyudmila stands exactly in his place.

The road leading to childhood.

Here in Ershovskaya elementary school I studied from 1st to 4th grade...

I'm proud of the village
grandson, remember this:
I was strong
only just because -
Growing up in the village
my roots
And no wear and tear -
to my tree!

And here were our vegetable gardens. Behind the gardens there was and still is a lake with crucian carp.

I remember, I see in a dream,
Everything is covered with water lilies.
The sky is filled with stars above you,
Yes, the moon burns in the water.

Childhood is so far away now
Can't bring him back
But here's a lake to see
I would be very, very happy.

Maybe we'll get together somehow
And we'll go with the whole family.
And I'll see what's left
I'll share it with you later.

The Karakan River near Ershovo.

Village river.

You are a village river,
Where childhood memories are reflected.
I'm coming from far away
Once again I say goodbye to you.

I flew from distant places,
To the willow bushes above the water,
Breathe the familiar air of places,
Be yourself a little.

Please forgive me
I am now a city dweller,
I dream of clouds at night,
And thin cobwebs of thread,

Flying above you at noon,
Touching the water flow.
Daisies hidden by grass
And two birch trees in the distance.

My favorite river
I'll be back again
To you alone from far away,
Forgive me, accept me, anyone...

My daughter Yulia is in Ershov, which she has never seen and will never see again.

Here we swam and carried buckets of water for the garden and bathhouse.

This monument to heroes civil war was opened in 1967.

There is no point in hiding that abandoned villages and other populated areas are the object of research for many people who are passionate about treasure hunting (and not only). There is a place for those who like attic searching to roam, to “ring through” the basements of abandoned houses, to explore wells, and much more. etc. Of course, the likelihood that your colleagues or local residents very high, but, nevertheless, there are no “knocked out places”.

Reasons that lead to the desertion of villages

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

Disappeared settlements are geographical objects that today have completely ceased to exist as a result of military actions, man-made and natural disasters, time. In place of such points one can now see a forest, a field, a pond, anything, but not standing abandoned houses. This category of objects is also of interest to treasure hunters, but now we are not talking about them.

Abandoned villages precisely belong to the category of abandoned settlements, i.e. towns, villages, hamlets, etc., abandoned by residents. 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? A decline in economic activity, which we can see now, as people from villages tend to move to the city; wars; disasters of various types (Chernobyl and its environs); other conditions that make living in a given region inconvenient and unprofitable.

How to find abandoned villages?

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

Today, one of the most accessible and fairly informative sources is Internet:

The second quite popular and accessible source- these are ordinary topographic maps. It would seem, how can they be useful? Yes, very simple. Firstly, both tracts and uninhabited villages are already marked on fairly well-known maps of the Gentstab. It is important to understand one thing here: a tract is not only an abandoned settlement, but simply any part of the area that is different from other areas of the surrounding area. And yet, on the site of the tract there may not be any village for a long time, but that’s okay, walk around with a metal detector among the holes, collect metal garbage, and then you’ll get lucky. Not everything is simple with non-residential villages either. They may not be completely uninhabited, but may be used, say, as summer cottages, or may be occupied illegally. In this case, I don’t see any point in doing anything, no one wants problems with the law, and the local population can be quite aggressive.

If you compare the same map of the General Staff and a more modern atlas, you can notice some differences. For example, there was a village in the forest on the General Staff, a road led to it, and suddenly the road disappeared on a more modern map; most likely, the residents left the village and began to bother with road repairs, etc.

The third source is local newspapers, local people, local museums. Communicate more with the natives, interesting topics there will always be someone to talk to, and in between you can ask about the historical past of this region. What can locals tell you about? 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. Moreover, 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 travel a lot on their business and interview, including old-timers, who like to mention various interesting facts during their stories.

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