Nizhny Novgorod region, Sergachsky district. Shubino village. Nizhny Novgorod region, Sergachsky district Temples of the Moscow region

as a village of free settlers arose between 1595 and 1602, and it was named after the founder of the village - Shuba (Shoba), who, obviously, was an patrimony, a free settler, who was founded here before the arrival of the service Tatars.

The legend of the old-timers that supposedly originally 3 brothers came to our places. And by the method of lots, Kochkay babai settled in the territory 1-2 km south of the current village of K-Pozharki and was called the settlement "Yortlar", Karga Ali babai (Kariy) in the place of the village of Karga, and Shoba babai in the area of ​​​​BILGE (mazarlar ost) - where our old cemetery, which is located 2 kilometers south of the current location with. Shubino and the settlement were also named "Yortlar". Other Tatars also lived in the village with him. A certain Semayka Arapov is known, who did not want to enter the service. His descendants almost until the end of the 17th century remained outside the community of serving Tatars. In other words, according to Orlov A.M. the village of Shubino already existed before the appearance of service Tatars. Different dates of occurrence - 1602 and 1603 - can be explained by the fact that 2 dates are indicated in the document at the same time: an extract from the scribe books of 1602/03. Or most likely due to an erroneous translation from the old style of one of the historians.

As already mentioned above, 30 people headed by Bekesh Rozbakhteev received a royal charter for land ownership. I received a complete list of serving Tatars from our village from the State Archive of the Nizhny Novgorod Region: Bekesh Rozbakhteev, Bekbulat Kildeyarov, Isen Bogdav, Baish Babekov, Burnash Bichurin, Mametka Kudaberdeev, Alakai Tineev, Ishey Kuneev, Tokbulat Urusov, Kudash Chinishev, Emash Chernaev, Kudash Nonaev , Semak Urazleev, Akbulat Kulgonin, Enalei Syuyundekov, Tokbulat Kudashev, Yanbokhta Dalishev, Enbars Akmanov, Tulush Nogaev, Sangalei Kuchukov, Milush Tolubaev, Chapkun Barashev, Semakai Arapov, Bulat Aklushev, Izhbulat Biteev, Aroslan Alkeev, Ishey Enbakov, Sobak Izhbulatov, Itkin Miryasev, Urazai Rozbakhteev. Although here Semakay Arapov is listed as a serviceman.

Boundaries and sections were determined by lot method. There were 42 families per person, which is about 20 hectares. These lands were not abandoned, they (dachas) used to be in the possession of landlord children, with such surnames: Patrikeyevs, Nedobrovs, Arbuzovs and others. Rather, they themselves did not live there, but lived near Arzamas. But the need to endow our ancestors with lands was more important, because. only they could protect the Russians and Mordovians from the Nogai raid, as described above.

And in 1612, after the Nogai attack, when they galloped through our village, killing and robbing, the royal charter issued to our ancestors for land ownership was lost. And in 1613 they were forced to write a petition (request) to Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich (Romanov) with a request to confirm the rights to the lands issued to them in 1602. The list indicated 29 people, headed by the brothers Bekesh and Urazley Rozbakhteev. Bekbulat Kildeyarov, Miras Isenev, Bashi Babekov, Burnash Bichurin, Mamesh Kubardov, Olekay Tineev, Ishey Kuldeev and others were also among the signatories. But they did not indicate either their borders or the name of the village, i.e. place of localization. This document was kept in the fund of the Alatyr order hut. Perhaps our village did not yet have a specific name during this period. Because in the document dated November 11, 1611. the name of the village is not given when others are named specifically.

Our ancestors received a copy of the charter for the land on July 20, 1613 from P. Buturlin and S. Beklemishev. The letter begins with the names of Bekbulat Kildeyarov and Bekesh Rozbakhteev, in which the name of Urazai Rozbakhteev is missing. This means that Urazai disappeared between 1602 and 1613, most likely he died during the repulse of the Nogai raid of 1612 by Bayush Rozgildeev. This means that ours participated in this battle with dignity and without heavy losses, except for Urazai and Itkin Miryasev (he is also missing from the list of 1613. ).

Records of service people and their households were constantly kept. Only not all documents have been preserved. For example, in the list of 1686, where both the owners themselves and their male ancestors are indicated, it was revealed that 23 of them were direct descendants of the Rozbakhteev group. Among them was a direct descendant of the grandson Ishai Aytuganov, he is the second in the list of homeowners in 1686, and in the column "former owner of the land", his grandfather Urazai Rozbakhteev is indicated. In addition, it is indicated that 17 of them own the estates of their grandfathers, 4 - of their fathers, and the rest - escheated estates. Only in 1686, a descendant of Semayka Arapov, Utyash Mameshov, was enrolled in the community.

Shubino was first mentioned as a Tatar village on November 11, 1611; its resident, service Tatar Isen Bogdav (indicated in the singular, in other cases written Tatar) is present as a witness at the land division near Chufarov on the Pica River. The second representative was Bekbulat, nicknamed Shuba (this is how Senyutkin S.B. writes) and he is not listed as a service Tatar, but rather, he really was a free settler. According to Orlov A.M. - Bekbulat Shuba may already be the son of the founder of our village. Another feature of this document is that our village and Kochko-Pozharki did not have specific names by this time. Only with time they began to be called Shoba ile, then in the Russian way Shubino, and the Kochko-pozharki borrowed the name of the neighboring Mordovian village of Pozharki and in honor of the founder of Murza The small village became known as Kochko-Pozharki, but was part of the Arzamas district.

Assumption Church. Shubino village

History. The Assumption Church was built at the expense of parishioners from 1785 to 1792 according to the project of 1779. The interior decoration was completed in 1794, the bell tower - in 1799. white stone lining. The single-domed double-height quadrangle of the pillarless temple with a rectangular altar is covered with a closed vault with lucarnes.

The bell tower of three square tiers with a discreet spire corresponds to its time. The main iconostasis with icons in seven tiers is from the end of the 18th century, with renovations, gilded in 1856. The chapel iconostases of the Empire style were installed in the 1880s. Utensils, icon cases, a chandelier, a recently renovated oil painting of the refectory - the same time.

Shrines. The church has a fragment of a wooden sculpture "Lamentation of the Mother of God".


According to S. B. Senyutkin, at the beginning of the 17th century, the process of allocating lands to service Tatars in the Alatyr district unfolded. One of the first villages in those places can be considered Shubino, which arose in March 1602. in connection with the settlement of serving Tatars.

And according to Orlov A.M., our village as a settlement of serving Tatars arose in August 1603, and Shubino as a village of free settlers arose between 1595 and 1603, and it is named after the founder of the village - Shuba (Shoba), who, obviously, was an patrimony, a free settler, who settled here before the arrival of service Tatars.

The legend of the old-timers that supposedly originally 3 brothers came to our places. And by lot Kochkay Babai settled on the territory of 1-2 km south of the current village of K-Pozharki, the settlement was called “Yortlar”, Karga Ali babay (Kariy) in the place of the village of Karga, and Shoba babayna of the BILGE area (Mazarlar ost) - where is our old cemetery, which is located 2 kilometers south of the current location with. Shubino and the settlement were also called "Yortlar". Together with him, other Tatars lived in the village. A certain Semayka Arapov is known, who did not want to enter the service. His descendants almost until the end of the 17th century remained outside the community of serving Tatars. a new group of servicemen, led by Urazay, dined. In other words, according to Orlov A.M. the village of Shubino already existed before the appearance of service Tatars. Different dates of occurrence - 1602 and 1603 - can be explained by the fact that 2 dates are indicated simultaneously in the document: extract from the cadastral books of 1602/03.

DOMODEDOVO, November 11, 2017, DOMODEDOVSKIE VESTI - The ancient village of Shubino, which saw the times of Dmitry Donskoy and Ivan the Terrible, the village survived the Time of Troubles and the Napoleonic invasion, the Great Patriotic War and perestroika, not only remembers its history, it lives here and now in it ...

Princely banner

In the second half of August 1380, columns of warriors appeared near the village of Shubino, located on the road from Moscow to Kolomna. Inhabitants
immediately ran and hid. Times were turbulent. Who knows whose army is coming? Maybe their own, and perhaps - Tatar or Lithuanian. Wagon trains creaked viscously in columns of dust, the points of peaks sparkled in the sunbeams, the rumble from countless horse hooves carried far over the earth earing bread. On the high bank of the Malaya Severka River, later called Gnilusha, two riders watched the army. The first was clearly a noble commander, because he was accompanied by a warrior in full armor with a banner attached to the stirrup. On the cloth in the rays of the August sun on the scarlet brocade blazed the face of the Savior Not Made by Hands.

“Why, this is the Grand Duke! gasped one of the buried residents. Why are we hiding here? But the riders had already touched the reins and rushed towards their warriors. The Moscow army marched southeast to their immortality. The prince was Dmitry Ivanovich, later nicknamed Donskoy.

Village on the military road

The history of the village of Shubino goes back to such a depth of centuries that even the approximate date of its foundation cannot be calculated. Located on the border with the Ramensky district in the current eastern part of the Domodedovo urban district, since ancient times it was located along the road that connected the Moscow principality with the Great Steppe. Therefore, all the conquerors who came from the east and south inevitably passed through these lands. Bitter experience taught the villagers caution. And therefore, a year after the Mamaev massacre, they also hid when the army of Khan Tokhtamysh approached, going to Moscow. The villagers rebuilt the burned village. But more than once they had to see their own and other people's armies.

By the 15th century, life improved and the villagers began to grow rich. In the 16th century, Shubino was in the estate of the boyar Ivan Dmitrievich Belsky. It was the famous commander of the times of Ivan the Terrible. He was the first commander of the Big Regiment in the Livonian War. Under his command, the Russians left no stone unturned from the German knights dug in in the Baltics. The tsar suspected the talented commander of secret treason and expelled him from the theater of operations. In 1571, when Khan Devlet Giray approached, the disgraced boyar was appointed to defend his native land. But the cunning khan bypassed his army, standing on the Oka, and attacked Moscow with a sudden throw. Belsky hurried to the rescue, but found only a huge fire in the capital, in which he died. Perhaps only this death saved the boyar from execution. The following year, Khan Giray decided to repeat his success, but was defeated at the Battle of Molodi by another hero of the Livonian campaign - Prince Mikhail Vorotynsky. The royal reward for saving the Muscovite state was "generous".

“Your servants,” Tsar Ivan the Terrible often said, “we are free to pardon and execute!” And therefore, the “serf” of Prince Mikhail Vorotynsky personally tortured to death. With all these military unrest, Shubino also suffered. The Crimeans plundered and burned it. Residents who did not have time to hide, as the chronicle writes, "many were beaten, and others were caught in full." The death of the boyar Ivan Belsky in the Moscow fire of 1571 did not protect his family. The king had a long memory. In 1578, the “village of Shubino with villages” was taken away from the Belskys and handed over to the Suzdal Archbishop.


Church-controlled village

By the 16th century, the Orthodox Church was one of the largest landowners in Russia. This situation developed during the Tatar-Mongol yoke. The fact is that the superstitious khans freed all church lands from taxation. That is why the peasants, at every opportunity, sought to be under the control of the church. There they lived freer and richer. Even Tsar Ivan the Terrible did not encroach on this wealth. He was a bloody tyrant, but not crazy. He could execute specific princes and boyars, taking away their lands. He could even execute members of the clergy. But the tsar perfectly understood that in a country where the soul of the people is Christianity, the campaign for Orthodoxy would end for him with an instant excommunication from the Church. With one hand, pursuing the most cruel repressive policy against the boyars, with the other hand, the tsar constantly tried to “appease” the Church and generously endowed her with lands. For the peasants, leaving under church administration turned out to be a boon. The village of Shubino began to grow and grow rich. But it only lasted thirty years. The cruelty of John IV laid such a mine of contradictions under the Moscow kingdom that 25 years later it literally exploded - with Troubles.

The time of troubles brought with it new invaders. In 1611-1613 Poles and gangs of robbers equally plundered both the lands of the landlords and the church. The suburbs were blazing with fires and groaning from rapists. The peasants fled. Once prosperous, the village of Shubino was impoverished by 1627. Returning from Moscow, the Serpukhov archbishop saw only seven peasant households and the charred chambers of the bishop's residence near the large church of the Assumption of the Most Holy Theotokos.

“There was a time to scatter stones,” said the lord, “now it is time to collect them.”

Painstaking work began to restore the destroyed rural infrastructure. Under church leadership, during the 17th century, the village was gradually built up, constantly reclaiming abandoned arable land from nature. In 1710, in Shubino, in addition to the yards of the bishop and the church parable, there were already 20 peasants, and the population increased to 103 people. By the 18th century there were more than a thousand of them. Even the reign of Catherine the Great could not undermine the life of the village. The Empress decided on something that was too tough for the formidable Tsar Ivan. She selected church lands for the treasury. At the same time, she gave away peasants right and left to her favorites. So, part of the inhabitants of Shubino "voluntarily" agreed to resettlement in the Voronezh province, in the estate of Prince Potemkin. It was every tenth inhabitant of Shubino! And this happened in all the villages taken by Catherine from the Church. Tens of thousands of wagons with crying people were pulled from the land near Moscow. Potemkin was so pleased that he presented the empress with a snuff-box studded with diamonds. And with church leaders who tried to protest against lawlessness, Catherine acted simply. She stuffed them into the stone sacks of dungeons across the empire - for life.

But in spite of everything, the village continued to live and grow rich.

stone temple

Misfortune never comes alone. In 1771, the plague came to Moscow. The Moscow plague riot, shot from cannons by Grigory Orlov, did not touch the Shubins. But the disease claimed every twentieth inhabitant. By 1773 their number had dwindled to 870. The fact that the village did not completely die out during the epidemic, the villagers saw the special protection of the Mother of God.

By this time, the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary had fallen into disrepair. And the peasants asked the spiritual authorities for permission to build a new stone church. At the same time, they themselves collected the required amount, prepared white stone, brick, lime and iron.

Metropolitan Platon (Levshin) was very surprised at the entrepreneurial spirit of the inhabitants.

“To oblige the priest and parishioners,” the Metropolitan wrote on the petition, “so that this summer we will certainly build a church!”

For ten years, the temple rose from the foundation to the cross on the dome. The villagers built slowly, but soundly - for centuries. In 1794, the Metropolitan was informed that the Dormition Church with side chapels in honor of John the Evangelist and Our Lady "Joy of All Who Sorrow" was ready for consecration. Church utensils and icons were solemnly transferred to it from the old church, among which was the image of the “Lament of the Virgin” especially revered by the people. Five years later, the villagers erected a three-tiered bell tower with a high spire above the entrance and surrounded the temple with a stone fence. Covered with Domodedovo limestone, it has become a real center and pride of the village. Weddings and funerals, fairs and royal decrees, the penitential prayer of Great Lent and the joyful Easter celebration - the whole life of the village took place under the snow-white walls of the Assumption Church.

Storm of 1812

The news of the invasion of Russia by Napoleon's huge army quickly spread throughout Russia. But the people did not know that the aggressor's forces outnumbered the Russian armies near the western borders by more than three times. Less than a month after the start of the war, on July 18, 1812, Tsar Alexander I decided to convene a people's militia to help the regular army.

At the end of July 1812, his Supreme Manifesto was read from the pulpit of the Assumption Church, as in all the churches of Russia. The emperor found the right words:

“Convening the people's militia ... now we appeal to all classes, inviting them together with us to unanimously assist against all enemy plans and attempts. May the enemy find the faithful sons of Russia at every step, striking him with all means and strength! May he meet Pozharsky in every nobleman, in every spiritual Palitsyn, in every citizen of Minin!.. Unite everyone: with a cross in your heart and with a weapon in your hands, no human forces will overcome us!


A rumble passed through the Shuba temple after these words. Someone, but the villagers remembered the grief that numerous enemies brought with them to their land. Under the leadership of the priest, a significant amount was collected to help the militia. Many of the villagers themselves went to beat the enemy. When the Russian army retreated from Moscow, the inhabitants provided the military with all the carts they had at their disposal. The glow from the Moscow fire was visible from afar. Soldiers and Shubins wept, shaking their fists at the invisible enemy: “Wait! Our tears will still respond to you!

With the departure of the army to the Tarutinsky camp, French foragers appeared in the village. But they did not find the inhabitants in it. The figure of a deacon loomed lonely on the bell tower. He struck the alarm. But the French were so carried away by robbery that they did not pay any attention to it. But in vain. Cossacks flew into the village with a whistle and whooping, chopping the enemy right and left. Marauders, throwing the loot, rushed to their heels. Few were saved. In 1813, the parishioners of the temple handed over to the priest the 22 guns and carbine, 12 pistols and 11 swords and bayonets remaining after the enemy's withdrawal. For his activities during the invasion, the priest of the village was awarded the pectoral cross "In memory of 1812".

pilgrimage center

From the end of the 40s of the 19th century, the village of Shubino literally flourished. Emperor Nicholas I, long before the general liberation of the peasantry, brought all the inhabitants of the "state villages" into the category of "free cultivators". Shubino belonged to the state villages, and therefore developed more dynamically than many landlords. The priests of the Dormition Church were among the first who began to intensively engage in public education and opened a school.

Built in 1794, the church has been restored. Two of his shrines were especially revered by the people. This is a large carved sculpture of the Mother of God "Weeping", which was depicted holding the deceased Savior on Her knees, and the icon of the same name. The image became famous for the deliverance of the village of Shubina and its environs from cholera in 1848. The Russian people resorted to these sacred images for help in everyday troubles and family problems from different parts of Russia. After all, the Mother of God, who so mourned the Son, simply cannot but respond to the suffering and prayers of ordinary people! So the village of Shubino became one of the centers of pilgrimage on an all-Russian scale.

There would be no happiness, but misfortune helped

The revolutionary madness that swept Russia in the first third of the 20th century could not bypass the ancient village. Spiritual values ​​were declared religious obscurantism, and the most industrious and prosperous peasants were declared kulaks and world-eaters.


The tragedy of the Civil War and forced collectivization became the tragedy of the Shubins. The authorities systematically tried to close the church from the mid-20s. Valuable items were confiscated from the temple and the bells were removed. But the Orthodox community of the Assumption Church in Shubino continued to defend its shrine in spite of everything. According to the materials of the archives, only in 1938 the Shubinsky temple was closed, and the church building was transferred to the Zagotzerno office. In the same year, the rector of the temple - priest Sergiy Solovyov - was arrested and shot. Everything seemed to be over: the history of the church was over. The temple is doomed to become a granary or a store, sharing the fate of thousands and thousands of desecrated shrines throughout Russia.

But the Great Patriotic War began. On the terrible lessons of the defeats of the first days of the war, Stalin realized that it could not be won on internationalism alone. He vitally needed such concepts as the Russian people, Fatherland and patriotism. Without the Orthodox Church, they simply do not exist. That is why he stopped the wave of repression against the Church. In Russia, the bells sounded again and churches began to open. Priests who survived during the years of repression began to return to the flock.

According to official documents, the authorities allowed the authorities to open the Church of the Assumption of the Mother of God in Shubino in 1946. But according to the memoirs of old-timers, divine services in it began in 1942-1943. It turns out that the people of Shubin opened their church themselves, they found a priest who was not afraid to lead these divine services. The name of this father has not come down to us. But he, together with the villagers, accomplished a spiritual feat. The authorities simply resigned themselves to the situation that had arisen, and three years later fixed the actual order of things on paper.


Today's days

Since then, the Shuba temple has not been closed. In 1957, it burned, the miraculous statue of Our Lady "Weeping" was damaged, but the villagers did everything to restore the ancient shrine. The clouds hung over the church again in the early 60s.

“We will build communism by 1980,” said CPSU Secretary General Nikita Khrushchev, “we will destroy religious obscurantism, and we will show the last priest on TV!”

But very little time passed, and Khrushchev himself was removed from his post, communism was not built, and the Shuba temple continued to stand. He survived the rule of Brezhnev, the catastrophe of Gorbachev's perestroika and lived to see the priests appear on television. The flow of people going to the temple for prayer, faith and love in the difficult years of the collapse of the USSR was growing. In 1990, he was assigned to the Moscow Novodevichy Convent as a farmstead. The allotment of land was returned to the temple, the sisters of the Novodevichy Convent rebuilt outbuildings and a building for novices.

And the ancient village of Shubino, which saw the times of Dmitry Donskoy and Ivan the Terrible, the village survived the Time of Troubles and the Napoleonic invasion, the Great Patriotic War and perestroika, not only remembers its history. It lives here and now. It breathes with prayer and labor, as it has been from time immemorial. This means that the village boldly looks into the future of our Fatherland. And this future, I believe, will be like the walls of the Shuba temple - bright.
