Living culture and memory
More than 100 participants in club formations are engaged at the rural House of Culture, and a women's club "Khozyayushka" is organized at the library. Locals traditionally celebrate Village Day, honoring old-timers and newborns, and in 2026 they recreated the ancient ritual of celebrating "Krasnaya Gorka" with round dances and master classes. In the past, there was a tradition of mutual assistance during construction ("klaka") in the village, and tea was considered the first dish of any meal.
