Historical background
In the late 19th century, the village was large and prosperous: residents built solid houses, including two-story ones, and a parochial school operated. During the Civil War, units of Kolchak's army passed through the village, and fierce battles with partisans took place in the vicinity, culminating in 1918 with the death of 31 people as a result of a punitive action. In the 1930s, collective farms were organized in the village, mechanized development of agriculture and animal husbandry began, and in 1936 a large seven-year school was opened, where over 200 children from neighboring villages studied. During the Great Patriotic War, the main burden of running agriculture, including working behind the levers of tractors, fell on the shoulders of local women, the elderly, and children.
