Extinct and abandoned villages. Hike on three abandoned villages near Tatev (beginning). Abandoned settlements of the Central Federal District

Powders over abandoned villages. In the village of Demlevo there are 3 homes left, one of which is residential and maintained in a relatively good condition, and the third, large five-lane, is abandoned and destroyed. Also in the village showed completely dilapidated cowshes and a condensed well. Power cables are cut, supports (columns) No. By the location of fruit shrubs and lip, it is possible to determine that about a dozen houses were once stood next to the surviving. In some places you can find a broken brick - former furnaces and remains of foundations. The underground near the house in this area did not dig out, because to groundwater no more than meters, the soil is drowned, the water is preserved in each irregularity for a long time. Houses disappear, therefore, without a trace. Nettle at the site of former villages makes it clear that some sites were used only a few years ago. We have climbing the half-one-year thickets of Borshevik and nettle, in places intermittent raspberries, rosehip and currant, we returned to the car and moved further to the northeast. Less than a kilometer, the only surviving house of the village of Novino, standing for meters in three hundreds of the road, appeared on the right, which is becoming more well-groomed, wide and with ditch along the edges. There are no drives through the ditches, and we are not finding any path, went to the house on a completely overgrown rut, which is branched off the road just north of the village. There were 40 houses in Demlevo, and in Novina 21, the villages were almost connected. Many houses were completely disassembled and taken into cities (Noginsk and Alexandrov were mentioned), where they were renovated, and the rest, who were in the worst condition, were collapsed. Power cables 2 years ago stolen, and after that they were not restored. Near the Demlevo we turned to the West and, passing 2 km along the only existing primer, got to the next point - the former village of Svyznod. The shlin is standing on the top of the slope, at the beginning of the rise on which there is a path of the path, potentially complex for machines with part-wheel drive in the spring and after the rains. This is, firstly, a bulk bridge over the stream in a lowland, and, secondly, a rather steep rise. The primer here is almost pure clay. It does not constitute a big problem, because you can always, leaving the car before descending to the stream, walk the last 300-400 meters of the road to the main and sole sightseeing of Svyatkov - the church buildings. From the church, the main nave with the altar part is preserved. The refectory and bell tower, apparently attached later, disassembled the material. Arch, which connected the remedies with the refectory, roughly laid by brick. The temple was used as a fertilizer warehouse, something similar to Dolomit remained inside. In general, the preservation of the building is not bad. In addition to the church, other buildings in the shlin not preserved. The location of the houses can be determined by garden shrubs and the preserved power lines columns. There are pits from the shredded wells, the construction trash. In general, it became an impression that the village was abandoned about 20 years ago, the garden weeds had already taken out, leaving the place of field grass. This journey that took part of an incomplete day made to think about the causes of desolation. Catastrophic fires, invasions of mythical attackers and the like large-scale disasters, these villages were not worried. Apparently, due to the remoteness from the tracks and the practical absence of roads on the "last mile", they simply did not have enough ordinary daches, and not so numerous lovers of deafness and privacy chose places closer to rivers and lakes (rivers near these villages are very small ). Local residents moved to where there is work, and the remaining unlawful left at home in their absence. I don't want to return to the ruined house, it becomes abandoned, and, for several years, disappears, burns in a fire or in a neighboring stove.

The 22-year-old artist Vladimir Chernyshev goes along the abandoned Russian villages and draws a strange dark objects on the walls of houses and sheds, similar to the entrance, arc, shadow or stars. His project is called the "Abandoned Village", according to the results, the artist plans to release a minor book. Vladimir told The Village, what attracts the death of the village, whether the art of locals understand whether to save at home from which people were gone.

The idea of \u200b\u200bthe project originated for a year two or three years ago, then I clearly realized that I as an artist was needed format and framework. I am engaged in street art last five years, and during this period I experimented a lot with materials, work formats, participated in various projects and eventually came to the country format of drawing. How did it happen? In part, thanks to such authors, like Toro, Hesse, Misima, and, of course, thanks to the reaction and to some extent, the rejection of the popular culture of Street Art. The process of drawing on the street has never been for me just a hobby, entertainment or a way to make money, it is rather need, the desire to act in accordance with what I believe.

To a lesser extent, it is interesting to an anthropological study, in the first place is artwork, it is important not just to observe and fix the moment of decay, but also make a change in this process - sometimes to break this order, sometimes supplement, but, to be honest, I need not easy to choose an object for Works, there is always a high probability of doing something inappropriate, so I proceed to the drawing only when I understand and feel more or less clear that work in this place is possible.

Preparation for travel

As a rule, I am looking for information on the Internet, in social networks, blogs and on satellite maps, I'll call the Google card objects and then make a route. I am convinced that nothing gives the opportunity to understand and experience the spirit of places, his story as the appearance of a rustic home itself. Moss, cracks, color of wood and shades, driven forged nails, carving, chaotic traces left by dried grass on a wooden surface - that's what the place has passes the history, speaks in the time tongue. Turning to the story as a region of knowledge relating to the past, I would say that I am less interested in the dates, local history, surnames and outstanding historical facts, but more correctly, the facts of history, it is important to me what I am watching right now in detail. The story lies in minor traces.

There are quite a few such places, for sure the abandoned village houses saw everyone who at least once went beyond the city, was in rural areas. Pretty many abandoned villages in Arkhangelsk, Vologda and Voronezh regions. Feelings are always different. Kierkegaor wrote about the natural fear, the feeling of vulnerability as a lively source. Approximately such sensations arise at the sight of some abandoned village houses. And I'm not unfortunately saying "lifeful" fear, because I consider the fear of approaching the end and death as a good opportunity to feel the present moment, that is, life. And if you assume that such fear causes peace of mind, then we are close to the eastern traditions. And all this makes the process of destroying the wooden house with symbolic and ambiguous. If we talk about perception, then I wonder how my own attitude to works in the villages changes over time, there are places where I am returning at different times of the year, I look at what happened to work as the paint fouled, whether the house was nervous.

Live and dead village

Sometimes I want to throw everything and leave to the city where people and movement, forget these dead places. The situation in many villages is heavy, there are unpleasant objects: you go, and there is chaos, everything is destroyed - in such places I am not delayed. There are burning, breathable by the death of the house. But maybe it is interesting: to overcome the fear of death to create a job.

When I was 18-19 years old, I had thoughts to go away from the city, to build a house, make a natural economy: this is complete independence from passports, money - all these pieces of paper. In this, this desire is still preserved. But on the other hand, I want to destroy this feeling - like the Golden Temple in the book of Yukio Misima. I have no task to keep these places, soaked in their spirit and revive the Russian folklore. On the contrary, I am pleased to watch how they disappear, and feel the value of this process. And of course, I always pulls me back to people. I am not a solid person. In the city I can make a paid job, and then go to the village for the sake of a non-commercial project, spend my money on gasoline. This is the whole buzz - to live in contrasts.

Of course, there are many safely existing and even thriving villages. But hardly someone argue that the main trend of the development of such settlements is their transformation into wooden ruins. I often communicated with the local, learned the coordinates and just talked to various topics: how he lives what they do. They basically drink, of course, but there are people who lead a healthy lifestyle that everything suits and who will not agree to move to the city. Yes, however, those who drink, too, hardly want to leave their home. In the village, a strong touch of a person with his own house is especially felt. It happens that people are still trying to preserve traditions, but, of course, everything is forgotten.

Sometimes I want to throw everything and leave to the city where people and movement, forget these dead places

If we talk about funny stories, then you probably need to remember the Uncle Tol from the Yaroslavl region. Uncle Toloov good-naturedly invited me with my friend photographer Danil Tkachenko to stay to spend the night in his house, fed us with a fresh pike and got married, so I had to lay it. After about an hour, when we slept, the sound of the motor rang out. Uncle Tolya started UAZ (I do not know how he got to him) and began to ride on the field in the mud, crash into the bumps, after which it disappeared. It turned out that in the next village, they killed a pig and he fell out there is a kebab - so the older version sounded.

The fact of extinction of traditional rustic culture is obvious, it is extremely clear, the venue. But, on the other hand, you understand that in Russia the birth of capitalism was, to put it mildly, premature, and the question is appropriate: and is it far in fact we left the Middle Ages and traditional thinking? But it is generally a separate story.

It seems to me that the revival of the villages on a global scale is to be revived - it is a utopian and obviously losing position, if not to say absurd. Personally, for my part, I see the beauty and uniqueness of this process of disappearance, without impurities of regret or bitterness.

Hello, expensive readers again. First, I want to report that I returned from the rest, which means that there will soon be new reports. I went, by the way, in Lviv, so there will be many interesting angles of the city. Secondly, yesterday they wonderfully shoved along the abandoned pionerolergers, which means that there will also be photos too. But it's all in the future, but for now I suggest returning to the beginning of the year. Then I visited a few abandoned and half-visited villages. In this regard, I present a new photo report. It will be told about the most memorable moments, abandoned houses, curious finds, subjects of rural life and other interests.

By the way, I am not very often writing from such places. A similar blog (just part 1) was last fall, you can see it. Prior to that there was still a pair of blogs in 2009 and 2010, but now I will not bother in search, I will get better right to the new part. So today's reportage is devoted to a pair of villages and rustic houses in the Moscow region. All of them are different from the capital, but unites them alone - either the village is actively demolished, a couple of living houses remained. Or in the acting village there are deaf abandoned houses, in which no one has come for a hundred years, the windows are partially knocked out, and there is no fence. So far from everywhere, but since the capital is growing quickly, then many villages, falling into the hell of Moscow, gradually degrade. Also, it is not lucky next to the tracks, as well as, on the contrary, the village removed from residential agglomerations. For the most part, the homeless residents often live in such houses, and nothing interesting is found. But sometimes there are quite curious locations. Even wonder how so many vintage and enough rare things are preserved, interior items, old dishes and many other things. So, I post a photo in order to be proportionally interesting, and some places are quite emptied, and some, on the contrary. Go.

1. A typical house built before the revolution. Inside, no one lives, the door is a flaw, the windows are knocked out. We arrived here still cold in winter. Not the most interesting, but still.

2. Move for several tens of kilometers. We get into the house already more interesting. Lead to drink a seagull? In the corner we find the old chest, the table of the Viennese chairs. We raise the seats, find a label pre-revolutionary, trifle, and nice) on the table scattered many hours. By the way, the watches will also be a lot of hours.

3. The queue is another house. On the terrace we find the portrait of the Great Poet, unequivocally fell under the spit.

4. In one of the houses we find ancient piano. The same company, by the way, as the piano, who elevated with one urodes in the abandoned school window (see at the end). This, thank God, is still alive, but the keys are already seated. At the top of the piano, we find the Soviet domino set.

5. Another stopped clock. Conventional plastic, Soviet.

6. Sometimes at home come across completely destroyed, this, for example, collapsed the roof after a fire. The sofa looks somewhat insane.

7. And this is a house with Pushkin on the terrace. The floors rotted, the floor fails. For example, here, the wardrobe fell down.

8. Comething nearby near one abandoned garden at home.

9. In the attic, you can often find different curious things. In this house, for example, these are the vintage objects of peasant life (spindles, rakes, forks, wooden shovel, sieve, etc.), notebooks of the 20s and 30s, textbooks of the same time, newspapers, Christmas tiles, porcelain dishes, etc. On this frame, a radio receiver is still visible in a very poor condition of the 40s.

10. Typical cuisine in such houses. Old oven, water heater, beautiful, but dusty mirror and miscellaneous junk.

11. Children's dolls look always especially creepy.

12. Another curious room. Here we find a pre-revolutionary sewing machine "Singer", or rather a table from her and her own. Very unimportant condition. Time and dampness do their job. In the cabinets a bunch of old and half-breeding clothes.

13. I will show the base of the mill. Rusty letters "zinger" on the back.

14. In each rustic house there must be a red corner.

15. Along the way of residential buildings often come across local inhabitants)

16. Rusty Great was discovered on the terrace.

17. But in the room on the floor, curious hours are lying.

18. House in the village in a slight distance from the rest. Strange, by the way to say. The ceiling collapsed in the same room, in the second barely breathe it, the fence is actually no, the windows are knocked out, and the light in one of the rooms worked yet! Inside the traces of destroyed.

19. This leaflet hooked me very much. Learning a letter for the 20s. "Get up, curse jammed, the whole world of hungry and slaves!"

20. In the kitchen in an abandoned house. Under the legs come across letters, on the wall - an old radio receiver.

21. All hours show different times.

22. Cute wooden shelf.

23. Capital photography. The rug looks especially sad. Rus-Troika, where are you going? And the truth where ...

24. Soviet pinball. Curious thing, I have never seen before. Although the Chinese 90s saw full. Acho state.

25. One almost completely separated hut.

26. In the house with a frame 18. Buffet in the kitchen. Surprisingly perfect savor! As if two or three, no one lives, but no one lazal or did not beat. Although the tableware is context and frequent, so it is not surprising.

27. Notebooks of the 20th, 30s, this time closer. Decorated with portraits of Lunacharsky, Lenin, faces of peasants and pioneers. And of course, "proletaries of all countries, connect!".

28. In the house with 1 photos right on the threshold, we find such a wonderful chest

29. A bit of May nature from rustic sites \u003d)

30. And again we find pinball. The state is not very better.

31. One kitchen. It is strange that everything is just so thrown. Despite the apparent order, dishes under the layer of dust, the ceiling was already collapsed.

32. Cute pre-revolutionary buffet in a room with piano.

33. The frame did not fit the quality, but I still lay out. Interesting content. Notebook on geometry of 1929.

35. On this frame I want to finish today's photo report.

Very sad and severe impression produce similar abandoned houses. It seems that part of our culture leaves. The capital lifestyle changes the old established way. Is this good or bad? How much is progress, and what are we strive for? But it is rather philosophical questions, and everyone will have their own answer. Today is enough reasoning. Until the following reports!

Recently, you can still hear from young people that they would like to throw urban life. They are interested in the abandoned villages, where you can buy a bosom estate, an old school or just a wooden hut: The Russian village has become a city dream, and each has its own story, watch photos and videos.

The number of extinct villages in Russia and Belarus grows every year. For example, in the Zhdanovichsky village council, that on the park, villages dying with its last resident, there are about a dozen: Dubrovsky, Khutorskoye, Bills, Ivanovka, Lukoshko, old and new Isaevich, Dubno, Ravan, Lokali, Buddha. Already as a few years, the old village of the old village disappeared from the face of the earth, which was located exactly on the river of the same name. For one district, Russia accounts for about 7 village councils, and therefore about 70 extinct villages. The agro-towns are blooming in Russia, and in parallel such villages are already somewhere under a tet of thousand. Previously, we have already written about rest in the village.

The fact that some houses are bought under the cottages, the village is no longer done. After all, for local, it is unacceptable to go down the street and not something that does not ask about today's crop, but not even say hello. After all, in the village of such people they say: "Oh, I woke up, and" Hello "did not say! Pig and then more more! "

An example of such a village is small beards. It represents one street with a length of about 2 kilometers, along which scenic houses are spread to the forest. Her name is green, because one of the locals, moving here from the city, as a habit called her for the former residence. So stuck. But in fact, there is no need in the street, because if the letters come here, then you can see that many simply do not indicate the street: "D. Bills, d. 7 ".

Once at Soviet power in the collections, the school was operating with the library and the cinema, there was a stable, but now under capitalism, the entire civilization is reduced to the car coming three times a week. But it does not give warranty that local will leave her with bread and fresh products. And it seems that this is almost the only reason to gather residents together.

Residential yards, as they used to say, about a dozen left here. Now the event is even considered that someone else's dog runs through the garden. And before everything was different. For example, due to the fact that there was one of the few enterprises here, there was a big level of crime. Local district jumped once: "If it were not for the boards, then there would be no work in the village council." One of the loudest cases took place here in 2011. A local resident of the neighboring village at night set fire to the workshop of the woodworking enterprise, leaving a note for the owner: "We have enough Troat for everyone. Therefore, bring $ 3,000 to a landfill near the forest and leave them in the refrigerator. "

The entrepreneur tried to delay the criminal on their own, going to the trash, but he provided everything to the smallest detail. Dressed a long green raincoat to increase the growth and seem higher, and on sneakers put socks so as not to leave footprints on the field, if running away. Due to the fact that the investigator appeared in the case, the FSB was connected to the investigation. The criminal was found, they were attracted to responsibility, but the material damage for the burned material was never able to recover. The executive bodies of Russia in this situation turned out to be another declarative instance.

There was also a period in 2000, when there were burned at home for five years. Someone calls it a coincidence, and someone's regularity.

Russian village and conversations with its inhabitants (photo)

Having met the locals, I suggested recalling some bright event or story that happened to them in the boards. But, as it turned out in the future, the task for them was not the easiest, as it seemed at first glance.

Baba Nastya.

"Wait! I remember how I danced in the school garden. In our native Stalin. There was some holiday, we sent the cover, someone brought the tape recorder and we jumped to the music right among the apple trees. It was the first time I danced. The second time was when we were in the guy's army. Here the walk was already! But then it was not taken into the army. And I still remember how on foot to the neighboring village in Covliki on the 8th of March went to the club. There was a competition for the best dance, and I got it as much as 2 prizes: wash and comb! That's how much I danced! And now what? Here the hectare of grain was manually planted, and on June 20, I was 80 years old. "

Andrew:

"Do not talk to me. I am a person with my post, so I can not immediately manage. Well, I do not know what an interesting thing in my village life was - Everyone's daily: home and work. Oh, I remember how I was accompanied into the army. Then slightly girls were not raped. But this is not interesting to anyone. By the way, we have an Olya-neighbor lived. You imagine, they say that now she is a billiard room in Moscow. That rose! "

Andrei Bachelor, living with his mother, from time to time drunk kicking her out of the house. For 15 years it works as a forester in the next village. But he is the only worker on the whole village.

Susik:

"I was here and born. Here I went to school. Hence the army went. That's here and live now. So write that I just worked all my life. "

The interlocutor was prescribed only a couple of days ago. district Hospital. He was told there that his illness was not treated. But he did not leave his smile for a minute, even when he told about it. Hobbies at the village resident - collect empty bottles, metal, paper. Therefore, it can often be found on a bicycle traveling along other villages. Although he gets a big pension. Local say: "Well, such a person!"

Vitya "Hare":

"Everything is fine in my life. I remember when I was small, behind the villages near the forest there was a large hill with a height of 2 meters. We called her "golden well". They say there was once the Lord's estate. And my friends and I went there to walk there. Once I broke the skis there! This is the only one adventure in the boards. "

In the village he has a nickname "hare". I lived almost all my life in the boards with my mother. It is an absolute record holder to descend on vodka pensions. For example, having received 7,000 rubles 18 numbers, the 20th in his pocket has only a penny. Always moving on a bike, even in ice. But at the same time, his house is always clean, the garden is planted and in the summer almost daily runs to the forest on mushrooms and raspberries.

Other people in different reasons did not agree to be photographed, we publish only their interviews
