The villages of the Vladimir region are better. History of place names in the Vladimir region

  • Date: 30.10.2019

On July 27, 2016, the results of the II Competition to identify the most beautiful village in the Vladimir region were summed up, which is held with the active support of the Vladimir branch of the Russian Geographical Society - among the members of the Organizing Committee, the Chairman of the branch I.A. Karlovich and members of the Council of the department A.K. Tikhonov and A.E. Karpov. Other organizers of the competition were the Council of Supporters of United Russia, OPORA Russia, and the Administration of the Vladimir Region.

This time, 37 villages took part in the competition, almost 2 times more compared to 20 participants last year. It is very pleasant that the Contest of Beautiful Villages attracts widespread attention of the region's residents, villagers and the media. More than 15,000 people took part in the preliminary voting. The representatives of the villages very warmly received the visiting commissions of the Organizing Committee and we very much hope that the competition will allow the villagers to take a fresh look at their small homeland, become another reason for pride and contribute to their development.

Taking into account the experience of the 2015 Competition, it was decided to divide the villages into 2 groups - large, in which more than 500 residents live, and small, since it is difficult to compare villages with a population of several thousand people and small villages where several dozen residents live. Thus, it was decided to nominate 7 prizes - one Grand Prix and three prizes each in the groups of small and large villages, as well as 2 prizes for the winners of the popular vote. In addition, as a result of the competition, many additional nominations were assigned, so that in the end no one left unmarked.

Cherish

Between Gorokhovets and Nizhny Novgorod there existed the city of Berezhets (Resurrection Chronicle) or Berezhech (Novgorod I Chronicle). This city is mentioned in the annals in the story of the campaign against Nizhny Novgorod by the Moscow and Suzdal troops in 1364. The prince gathered an army in his homeland in Suzdal and, together with Moscow help, moved on to the Nizhny Novgorod one. The troops reached Berezhets, where the Nizhny Novgorod prince met them with a proposal for peace. Consequently, Berezhets was somewhere on the road from Suzdal to Nizhny Novgorod. Presumably, the city of Berezhets can be identified with the village of Bereztsy or Berezhtsy, located halfway between these cities, not far from the modern city of Gorbatov, at the confluence of the Klyazma and the Oka. The location of the chronicle Berezhets is also determined by A. V. Eksemplyarsky: Berezhen, now the village of Berezhny at the mouth of the Klyazma.
