The urban-type settlement of Cherkasskoye, Volsky district, is the very north of the Saratov region. Less than 40 kilometers to the border with the Penza region, half as much - to the Ulyanovsk. The village has a solid age - it was founded in 1700. The population is over three thousand. The population is Russian, Tatars, Kazakhs, Chechens. That often for the Saratov region there are Old Believers (Kulugurs). The nearest station Chernavka (Saratov - Syzran) is 15 kilometers away.
The village has good asphalt, old stone houses and, of course, the main attraction for which we undertook the trip - the Church of the Sign of the Most Holy Theotokos. The temple was built by the Minister of Public Education of Russia, Count S.S. Uvarov in 1827. In addition to the main chapel in this temple, built in the impeccable style of Russian classicism, two chapels were consecrated: the northern one in memory of the Ascension of the Lord, the southern one in the name of the miracle workers Cosmas and Damian . The temple was partially destroyed in Soviet times, by now it has been largely restored, services are being held.

"The place where the village is now located in the 17th century was uninhabited and was called the Wild Field. For the first time, the village began to be settled under Prince Cherkassky, Vice-Chancellor of Empress Anna Ioannovna in the 30s of the XVIII century. The village got its name from the name of the prince. Fugitive serfs settled here, who fled from the village of Vorsma, Nizhny Novgorod province, who fled from there from serfdom for a better share.By decree on the investigation and return of fugitive peasants, punitive expeditions were sent to our places in order to return the fugitive serfs to their former owners.All these attempts ended in failure. Having given up on everything, the prince decided to leave everything as it was, securing this area for himself along with the peasants. people, and with him came to our region and different religions.Thus formed a free character, diverse in faith, extensive, the populous village of Cherkasskoe.

"In the 19th century, the village of Cherkasskoe was inherited by Count S.S. Uvarov. The hereditary path of our village to Count Uvarov was as follows: after the death of Prince Cherkassky, the village passed to Count Sheremetev (the one who became famous for his serf theater), from him to the Countess Razumovskaya, and only from her to Count Uvarov. He became the fourth owner of our village."

"One of the most significant events in our village is the construction of the temple. It was erected in 1827. There is a beautiful legend about the construction of the temple, which is passed from mouth to mouth by more than one generation of Cherkasy residents, although no one knows for sure whether this is true or true. Here what Anna Semyonovna Vachugova, the oldest resident of our village, a former history teacher, says: "Indeed, there is such a legend. When the war with Napoleon began in 1812, the count's son joined the people's militia. By the way, together with the poet Zhukovsky. Everyone wanted to drive out the enemy get out of the Russian land. The count then made a vow to God: if the son returns alive and unharmed from the war, and Russia wins, then he will build a temple in the village of Cherkassky. They knew how to keep their word then! As soon as the son returned, the count laid the foundation for the temple. "

How was the further fate of the temple, especially after the October Revolution? It was at this time that the wild time began, which historians called "the construction of communism." And communism was not built, and spirituality in people was killed! But our temple was lucky, it survived, although they also tried to destroy it. Such was the fate of many temples throughout the country. Here is what Anna Semyonovna Vachugova, a former history teacher, recalls:

“It was in 1925, when I was still very young. In the RIK (district executive committee) a “historic” decision was made: to break down the church and build a school out of its bricks. They laid explosives under the eastern side and rushed off. And what do you think? The church didn't even move! As it stood, so it is! They tried again, the columns collapsed from the east side. It seemed that just about, and our beauty will not be! The people gathered - darkness! Everyone was quiet, standing, watching how things would end. Then they drove a tractor (the first in the village - "Fordson"), hooked on the north side. Pulled, pulled, - all in vain! It became clear that you can’t break the church, but only mutilate it. Well, we decided to make a warehouse in the church. They stored grain, oats for collective farm and Selp horses there - there is a lot of space! The crosses, of course, were knocked down there, and the children frolicked there, climbed the dungeons and the bell tower. But the school was nevertheless built in 1935, having dismantled the old mansion of Count Uvarov into bricks, it was located on a mountain, where the Cherkasy forestry enterprise is now located.

And here is another memory of the closure of the temple of our countrywoman from the archive of the Temple of the Sign of the Most Holy Theotokos Pelageya Timofeevna Zasukhina:
“When the temple was closed, the bells were dropped from it. I was a little girl. When this event took place, the whole village gathered, my aunt led me and my sister by the hand. I remember well how people were on their knees and praying. The bell fell with a crash, and the people wept.

It must be said that the villagers never lost hope that the temple would be revived. During the Great Patriotic War, as we know, I.V. Stalin made significant concessions to the church. Closed temples began to open in cities and villages. On August 20, 1944, there were only four functioning churches in the region: in Saratov, Volsk, Petrovsk and Rtishchev. In 1945 a church was opened in Pugachev, in 1946 in Balashov, Ershov, Arkadak. Already in the post-war period, in 1947, the Council for the Affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church under the Council of Ministers of the USSR allowed the opening of four more rural parishes.1 Cherkasy parishioners did not lose hope either. In the journal "Saratov Diocesan Gazette" (No. 2, 2007) we read the documents of the Saratov Diocesan Archive F. 1Op. 1 unit ridge 2:

It should be noted that the authorities did not respond to the request of the peasants. Apparently, they seriously considered religion "the opium of the people." I can’t even believe that there were times when the church was banned, when it was impossible to come freely to the church and calm the soul, communicate with the priest, take communion, put a candle in front of the icon.

For a long time the church was empty, representing a depressing sight. The church served as a warehouse for a long time, until 1961, when the Cherkasy region was disbanded. She was chosen by rooks and crows.

A new life at the temple began when Father Alexander (Kalyaev) came to Cherkasskoye from Volsk. He did a lot to restore the temple. On his own, together with the parishioners, in 1992 he changed the old, rotten iron domes to new, galvanized ones. “Of course, without false modesty I will say that the work was done enormously,” recalls father Alexander. The old iron from the domes was removed and replaced with new, zinc. Crosses were ordered and placed on the domes. Icons were collected from home, of course, many of them are not of academic work, but there are also quite old, academic works. They immediately began to conduct services, to perform the sacraments, to marry, to bury. Previously, this was done secretly, in the neighboring region, in the village of Ilyushkino. The local population, the administration of the village, provided great assistance then. In May 1994, the church was robbed, almost all the icons of any value were stolen. It can be seen that the "specialists" worked. But with the help of our Cherkasy militia, all the icons were found and returned to the temple. Thanks a lot for this guys. By the way, the thieves turned out to be locals, we were even afraid of the lynching of the parishioners.”

The history of the temple has its continuation in the XXI century. A graduate of our school, Zorin Vladimir, who went to church and helped conduct services from childhood, entered the Saratov Theological Seminary in 2001, and successfully graduated from it in 2006. Now he is in the service of the Bishop of Saratov and Volsky Longin, and will soon receive the priesthood and his parish.

But, of course, the temple requires professional finishing, it is necessary to restore the paintings on the walls, bring the interior of the temple into proper form. Many icons are not of great value; they are either lithographs or “paper paintings”. Father Demetrius complains that the church urgently needs to at least pick up icons with the Twelfth Feasts over the royal gates, but not from anything. During the restoration of the Satisfy My Sorrows church in Saratov, many icons were distributed to rural parishes. Through the efforts of our fellow seminarian Zorin Vladimir, these icons were brought to our church. We are satisfied with this, because even this would not exist. Who knows, maybe the powers that be will remember that the temple in the village of Cherkassky should live a full life.

Our temple has existed for almost two hundred years. Of these, for 110 years services have been and are being held in it, the sacraments are performed, people turn to God, asking for help and grace, or thanking for the mercy of God. The temple has an interesting and dramatic fate. He saw a lot in his lifetime: heyday, and desolation, and rebirth. No wonder they say that there is a time to scatter stones, but there is a time to collect them. I think now is the time to collect the stones. I am not going to be a priest, I want to be a doctor, but I know that all my life I will be a deeply religious person, that God will always be in my soul and in the souls of my children. The time has come when it is necessary to deliver people from filth, lies, desolation, malice, it is necessary to fill the spiritual vacuum in the souls with the Word of God. Then the souls will be cleansed, and the country will be reborn, because nothing pure and bright can be built on dirty thoughts. Help us in this God!

In addition to the wonderful temple, the village still has pre-revolutionary buildings, which are nice to walk around, though not far away) In general, the village made a good impression, although there are also enough abandoned buildings. Next to the temple are the ruins of a cinema, which was built in honor of Tereshkova's flight. The residents themselves would not mind becoming a village, and not a working settlement - and taxes are lower and you don’t have to go to Volsk a little.

We drove into the store and here in front of him - a drift with a handbrake. Usually this is how Chechens drive and look at you - number 95, a pennant with a flag and a president. Unexpectedly for the Saratov hinterland, and then I looked - in the village of the diaspora. Nearby there is the village of Erykla - completely Chechen.

This article on the geography of the Dnepropetrovsk region is a stub. You can help the project by adding to it.

City : Ugt : Villages: Villages:

“My dear,” Anna Mikhailovna said in a gentle voice, turning to the porter, “I know that Count Kirill Vladimirovich is very ill ... that’s why I came ... I’m a relative ... I won’t bother, my dear ... But I just need to see Prince Vasily Sergeyevich: because he is standing here. Report it, please. The porter sullenly pulled the string up and turned away. “Princess Drubetskaya to Prince Vasily Sergeevich,” he shouted to a waiter in stockings, shoes and a tailcoat who had run down and peered out from under the ledge of the stairs. Mother smoothed out the folds of her dyed silk dress, looked into the one-piece Venetian mirror in the wall, and cheerfully in her worn-out shoes went up the carpet of the stairs. - Mon cher, voue m "avez promis, [My friend, you promised me,]" she turned again to the Son, arousing him with the touch of her hand. The son, lowering his eyes, calmly followed her. They entered the hall, from which one door led to the chambers allotted to Prince Vasily. While the mother and son, going out into the middle of the room, intended to ask for directions from the old waiter who jumped up at their entrance, a bronze handle turned at one of the doors and Prince Vasily in a velvet coat, with one star, at home, went out, seeing off the handsome black-haired man. This man was the famous St. Petersburg doctor Lorrain. - C "est donc positif? [So, is that right?] - said the prince. - Mon prince, "errare humanum est", mais ... [Prince, it is human nature to err.] - the doctor answered, grasping and pronouncing the Latin words in a French accent. - C "est bien, c" est bien ... [Good, good ...] Noticing Anna Mikhailovna with her son, Prince Vasily dismissed the doctor with a bow and silently, but with an inquiring air, approached them. The son noticed how suddenly deep sorrow was expressed in the eyes of his mother, and he smiled slightly. - Yes, in what sad circumstances we had to see each other, prince ... Well, what about our dear patient? she said, as if not noticing the cold, insulting look fixed on her. Prince Vasily looked inquiringly, to the point of bewilderment, at her, then at Boris. Boris bowed politely. Prince Vasily, not answering the bow, turned to Anna Mikhailovna and answered her question with a movement of his head and lips, which meant the worst hope for the patient. – Really? exclaimed Anna Mikhailovna. - Oh, it's terrible! It’s terrible to think… This is my son,” she added, pointing to Boris. “He wanted to thank you himself. Boris bowed again politely. “Believe, prince, that a mother’s heart will never forget what you have done for us. “I am glad that I could please you, my dear Anna Mikhailovna,” said Prince Vasily, adjusting the frill and showing in gesture and voice here in Moscow, before the patronized Anna Mikhailovna, even much greater importance than in St. Petersburg, at the evening at Annette Scherer. “Try to serve well and be worthy,” he added, addressing Boris sternly. - I'm glad ... Are you here on vacation? he dictated in his impassive tone. “I am waiting for an order, Your Excellency, to go to a new destination,” Boris answered, showing neither annoyance at the prince’s harsh tone, nor a desire to enter into a conversation, but so calmly and respectfully that the prince looked at him intently. - Do you live with your mother? “I live with Countess Rostova,” Boris said, adding again: “Your Excellency.” “This is the Ilya Rostov who married Nathalie Shinshina,” said Anna Mikhailovna. “I know, I know,” said Prince Vasily in his monotonous voice. - Je n "ai jamais pu concevoir, comment Nathalieie s" est decidee a epouser cet ours mal - leche l Un personnage completement stupide et ridicule. Et joueur a ce qu "on dit. [I could never understand how Natalie decided to go out marry that filthy bear. Completely stupid and funny person. Besides a gambler, they say.] - Mais tres brave homme, mon prince, [But a good man, prince,] - Anna Mikhailovna remarked, smiling touchingly, as if she knew that Count Rostov deserved such an opinion, but asked to pity the poor old man. - What do the doctors say? asked the princess, after a pause, and again expressing great sadness on her tear-stained face. “There is little hope,” said the prince. - And I so wanted to thank my uncle again for all his good deeds to me and Borya. C "est son filleuil, [This is his godson,] - she added in such a tone, as if this news should have extremely pleased Prince Vasily. Prince Vasily thought for a moment and grimaced. Anna Mikhailovna realized that he was afraid to find in her a rival according to the will of Count Bezukhoy. She hastened to reassure him. “If it weren’t for my true love and devotion to my uncle,” she said, pronouncing this word with particular confidence and carelessness: “I know his character, noble, direct, but only the princesses are with him ... They are still young ...” She tilted her head and she added in a whisper: “Did he fulfill his last duty, prince?” How precious are these last moments! After all, it couldn't be worse; it must be cooked if it is so bad. We women, prince,” she smiled tenderly, “always know how to say these things. You need to see him. No matter how hard it was for me, but I'm used to suffering. The prince, apparently, understood, and understood, as he did at the evening at Annette Scherer's, that it was difficult to get rid of Anna Mikhailovna. “This meeting wouldn’t be hard for him, chere Anna Mikhailovna,” he said. - Let's wait until the evening, the doctors promised a crisis. “But you can’t wait, prince, at this moment. Pensez, il u va du salut de son ame… Ah! c "est terrible, les devoirs d" un chretien ... [Think, it's about saving his soul! Oh! this is terrible, the duty of a Christian…] A door opened from the inner rooms, and one of the princesses, the count's nieces, entered, with a gloomy and cold face and a long waist strikingly disproportionate to her legs. Prince Vasily turned to her. - Well, what is he? - All the same. And as you wish, this noise ... - said the princess, looking at Anna Mikhailovna, as if she were a stranger. “Ah, chere, je ne vous reconnaissais pas, [Ah, my dear, I didn’t recognize you,” Anna Mikhailovna said with a happy smile, approaching the count’s niece with a light amble. - Je viens d "arriver et je suis a vous pour vous aider a soigner mon oncle. J`imagine, combien vous avez souffert, [I came to help you follow your uncle. I imagine how much you suffered,] - she added, with participation rolling his eyes.

The village of Cherkasskoye is located on the territory of the Volsky district and stretches for several kilometers along the Kamyshleyka river, between the Tereshka and Alai rivers. According to stories, the serfs of Prince Cherkassky once fled here. The prince, apparently, overtook the fugitives or guessed about their settlements, but did not return them to his Penza and Tula possessions, but begged them from the land along Kamyshleyka for himself, like abandoned wastelands for settling down.

The empress granted, but the prince did not take out his anger on the refugees, but on the contrary, he helped to settle down, and even moved several families here. Prince Cherkassky invited all sorts of free people from different sides, such as from the Nizhny Novgorod province, from Panin, Yaroslavl province, from the Vladimir province, from the Saratov province and other regions. Over time, the influx of various kinds of people increased and, thus, little by little, a diverse in faith, vast, multidimensional village of Cherkasskoye was formed.

From Prince Cherkassky, due to family ties, it passed to Count Sheremetev, from Sheremetev to Count Razumovsky, from Razumovsky to Count Uvarov (Lunin A.A. Extract from the historical and statistical description of the villages of the Volsky district of the Saratov province, issue four., 1889).

Few, however, know that one of the branches of the Cherkassky princely dynasty - the Bekovichi-Cherkasskys - have Chechen roots. Since the beginning of the 16th century, this dynasty faithfully served the Russian tsars from the Ruriks to the Romanovs and even intermarried with the royal family. Maria (Maryam) Cherkasskaya was the second wife of Ivan the Terrible. Khoroshay-Murza (baptized Boris Kambulatovich)) Cherkassky was married to the sister of Patriarch Filaret. The Cherkasskys have played an outstanding role in Russian history. They were major military leaders: Soltankul (Mikhail) Cherkassky was actually the commander-in-chief of the Russian army under Ivan the Terrible. The princes were also governors of Siberia.

The role of the Nizhny Novgorod militia and its organizers Kozma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky in the defeat of the Polish-Lithuanian conquerors in the 17th century is well known. However, almost no one knows that the Nizhny Novgorod Duma, which decided to organize a militia and move it to liberation, was headed by Prince Cherkassky Dmitry Mamstryukovych.

The famous Russian writer of the first half of the 19th century, Mikhail Zagoskin, writes in his historical novel “Yuri Miloslavsky”: “In the house of Prince Cherkassky, a thought of the Nizhny Novgorod boyars and noble people was held. At first glance, one could recognize the owner of the house, the son of the famous Cherkasy prince, a Chechen like him, by his expressive swarthy face with large eyes, in which all the indomitable courage of the sons of the impregnable Caucasus shone. Zagoskin remarkably describes the entry of the troops of the Nizhny Novgorod militia into the Kremlin on October 22, 1612: “Prince Dmitry Mikhailovich Pozharsky rode ahead of the whole army, on his right hand - Prince Cherkassky on a dashing Trans-Kuban horse, on the left side - citizen Minin and others.
