Living culture and memory

Residents observe national holidays of the Russian Federation and district celebrations. According to tradition, not far from the settlement there is a giant boulder several metres wide; according to legend, it was under this stone that Pugachev buried his treasures; the boulder was attempted to be blasted, split, and moved with a bulldozer, but all attempts proved unsuccessful. The prevalent religious tradition is Orthodoxy; the gastronomic culture is represented by Russian cuisine.

The project was carried out with a grant from the Russian Science Foundation No. 26-28-20225
