Lokot

According to historical data, the village emerged in 1759 (other sources cite 1820) and was initially settled by the Kargin, Tatarnitsev, Diyankov, and other families. The influx of settlers increased during the 1770s and the Stolypin reforms of the early 20th century, when families of craftsmen arrived from the European part of Russia. In 1928, Lokot was the center of the Loktevsky rural council of the Yaminsky district, comprising 553 households with a predominantly Russian population, while land and estate issues at that time were decided by a peasant gathering (skhod). During the collectivization period of the 1920s and 1930s, several collective farms (kolkhozes) were formed around the village, which were enlarged in 1959, resulting in Lokot gaining the status of a branch. The first school opened in 1927, and by 2009 it had become a primary school again. The birthplace of Hero of the Soviet Union I.V. Larev, the village has a population of 98 residents as of April 2026.
