TotemskyTotemsky is a polysemantic term.
Counties of RussiaA district is a territorial-administrative unit in Ancient Rus', the Russian Kingdom, since 1721 - in the Russian Empire, since 1918 - in the RSFSR, since December 1922 - in the USSR.
In ancient times, a county was a collection of all volosts adjacent to a well-known point - a city or village. In the Middle Ages, counties included administrative and military areas called “siege”. During the administrative-territorial reform of 1923-1929, counties were transformed into districts.
Vladimir Mintsker
My earliest information about the ancestors of the Komi-Zyryans Popov-Maltsev, who lived in Totemsky district, dates back to the beginning of the 18th century. At this time, intensive development of the northern territories ended in the Vologda Territory.
The population of the region was mainly Russian. In the Western regions there were Karelians and Vepsians. The eastern regions were inhabited by Komi-Zyryans. In the areas inhabited by the Zyryans, the influence of the Russians was profound. And only in the Yarensky and Ust-Sysolsky districts did Russification not occur. Here, from the 16th century, services in churches were conducted in the Zyryan language, and subsequent ones for St. Stephen of Perm, the priests and monks were from Zyryans. The Zyryans, who did not want to accept Christianity, moved beyond the Urals.
Of course, my Popov-Maltsevs, like many other Zyryans, have become very Russified. But they told me that the ancestors/ancestors were Zyryans.
I am interested in how the ancestors of the Zyryans, the Popovs and Maltsevs, ended up in Totemsky district and whether they originally lived here. After all, the written sources that I have met indicate the regions of settlement of the Zyryans - the eastern and northeastern regions of the Vologda Territory: Solvychegodsk. Ust-Sysolsky, Yarensky districts.
According to the hypothesis of the historian and ethnographer L.N. Zherebtsov, the Ustyug and Totem Zyryans were settlers. The beginning of the 11th - mid-12th centuries constitute the first stage of the ethnodemographic development of the ancient Komi or Permian Vychegda. This was the period of initial settlement. According to the hypothesis of L.N. Zherebtsov, it is possible that at this time there was some expansion of the territory of settlement of the Permians in a western direction. There has never been a massive influx of migrants from Rus' to the lands of the ancient Komi.
From the end of the 11th century to the first half of the 12th century, according to the assumption of L.N. Zherebtsov, settlements of ancient Komi appeared on the lower Sukhona, upper Vaga with its tributaries and on the Northern Dvina below the mouth of the Vychegda - significantly west of the modern territory of Komi settlement. First, at the turn of the millennium, the settlers, according to L.N. Zherebtsov, colonized the banks of Vyatka, Sysola and Luza. Then, from the listed areas, groups of migrants, probably much less numerous, began to gradually move to the Vychegda with its tributaries and to the rivers Yug, Malaya Northern Dvina, and middle Sukhona.
Many historical descriptions of the region provide written evidence of the residence of the Komi Zyryans in the Ustyug and Totem regions. Thus, the Austrian traveler of the 16th century S. Herberstein wrote about the population of the Ustyug land: “the inhabitants have their own language, although they speak more Russian.”
It seemed to me that the most detailed description in the book was: G.A.Borodinskikh. Perm the Great - Terra Incognita. Stories about history. St. Petersburg "Mamatov". 2014 - 188p.«… Western European travelers of the 16th–17th centuries noted that the inhabitants of Totma and surrounding villages once spoke their own special language, different from Russian, but gradually became Russified and hardly remember it anymore...”
That is, we can confidently assume that the Totem and Ustyug territories in the distant past belonged to the “Perm lands” and conditionally call them Yugovskaya Perm, Perm Totemskaya (Sukhonskaya) and Perm Ustyanskaya..."
The “List of Populated Places of the Vologda Province,” published in 1859 and 1866, mentions “Russified Zyryans who retained the customs and morals of their tribe,” also called “Russified Finns.”
Thus, it can be argued that in the past the territories of Ustyug and Totma along the Yuga and middle Sukhona rivers were inhabited by Komi-Zyryans. A well-known example is the Ustyuzhan St. Stefan Permsky. His mother was a Zyryanka, and he knew the Zyryan language from childhood.
K and history of the Rezh Church
The churches on the Rezha River are closely connected with the Totemsky Spaso-Sumorinsky Monastery.
In the 16th century, monasteries developed intensively in Rus'. New lands were developed and populated by parishioners. Totma also had a desire to have a new monastery and new lands.
At the end of 1553, the Totem residents sent a “complaint” to Tsar Ivan lll with a request “to allow Elder Theodosius Sumorin to erect one in the name of the Transfiguration of the Lord.” “On the 20th day of February 1554, on Tuesday of the second week of Lent,” the tsar appointed Theodosius as rector of the newly built monastery, freeing it “from all taxes and duties” with a non-judgmental letter. A hermitage was assigned to the monastery, erected and developed at the beginning of the 16th century by Elder Ephraim with permission from the Moscow Grand Duke Vasily Ivanovich.
Around 1560, with the blessing of the Archbishop of Rostov and Yaroslavl, in whose diocese Totma was then, Theodosius renewed the Ephraim Hermitage and established a brotherhood in it.
“... Behold, Prince Ivan Vasilyevich of All Rus' granted the gift of Hegumen Leonty and his brothers, who serve at the Transfiguration of Spasov and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, in Vazhskaya Verkhotin, on the river on the Ryzha, or whoever there will be another Abbot: he beat me with his forehead, but says that I walked around that desert, wild and uncultivated, and there were no villages of my Grand Duke, given by the Volks; Yes, in the same case, Lake Terentyevskoe and the rivers and spoils and flax paths, but they were not given to anyone, and our dues from that lake and from the rivers and from the rivers are not given to us; and we should grant Hegumen Leontius and his brothers an order to him from that desert to cut down the forest and plant people in that forest on all sides of the monastery for five miles, and in that Lake Terentyevsky and in the rivers and in the rivers to catch fish for the monastery. And it will be the same as Hegumen Leonty and his brothers beat us with his forehead, and in reality the Great Prince granted Hegumen Leonid and his brothers
I ordered him to plant the forest near that monastery on all sides and the peasants in that wild forest and plow the arable land from that monastery about five miles, and with everyone
those lands and with Terentyevsky lake and with rivers and rivers and forest paths. And whoever their peasant learns to live in that forest, and who their peasant
My Grand Duke does not need tribute, nor food for squirrels (*), nor city affairs, nor carts, nor occupancy duty, nor road service, nor in social services, nor in dessiatries, nor with black people with volosts, they will not drag themselves into any protoris, ....”
*) Writing squirrel - that was the name of the tax payment for the census of households.
The Leonid (Efremov) hermitage was not rich. In the 17th century, the desert became completely impoverished, deserted, and abolished. At the beginning of the first half of the 18th century, the hieromonk of the Moscow Ugresh Monastery Sergius built a one-story stone church on the site of the former wooden church, which in 1761 was consecrated under the former name of the Transfiguration of the Lord. On the left side of it there is another, also stone and one-story church, in connection with the bell tower. The consecration of the church in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker took place in 1800.
At the end of the 18th century, under Catherine the Great, the state took away monastic lands and reduced the number of full-time monasteries and monastics. Pustyn was abolished, and its Rezhskaya St. Nicholas Church became a parish church. Both churches, Spaso-Preobrazhenskaya cold and Nikolaevskaya warm, are parish churches. There should be a clergy - a priest, a deacon and a psalm-reader. Church land - 58 acres, 325 fathoms.
Copies of registry books dating back to 1781 are kept at the church. The salary is due from the treasury, 164 rubles. 64 k. Income up to 560 rub. There were 961 parishioners in 1894
husband. n. and 1014 wives, n. There is a parochial school. Books in 1894 were almost all unusable.
The villages of the parish are as follows: 1) the village of Monastyrskoye. 2) Lukinskaya. 3) Burnikha. 4) Koltyrikha. 5) Kolobovo, 6) Markovo. 7) Kopylovo. 8) Korobitsyno. 9) Gridino. 10) Round. 11) Rossokhino. 12) Pogoreltsevo.
According to the “description” of the historian P. Savvaitov, in 1761. In place of the wooden one, a stone one-story Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord was built. On the left side of it there is... a stone one-story church in connection with the bell tower, consecrated in the name of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in 1800... Both churches, the Cold Transfiguration of the Savior and the Warm Nicholas Church, are parish churches. That is, the clergy for both churches is one, common.
Clergy records of churches in Totma and Totemsky district. Newsletter about the church of the Totemsky district of the Nicholas Church, which is on Rezha for 1856. GAVO, f. 496, op. 4, d. 707, l. 145. Information about the Nicholas Church of the Totemsky district, which is on Rezha for 1856.
“The warm church was built and consecrated in 1800 with the diligence of the parishioners, and on the occasion of the amendment of its iconostasis, it was consecrated again in 1849. In another building on its right side, a cold one was built and consecrated in 1761 through the diligence of Hieromonk Sergius the former Builder, who arrived in this place of the desert called Levanidova; From what time the church assumed its primitive existence in the parish is unknown. The building of both churches is stone, one-story with the same bell tower, which is in one connection with the warm church.

Excerpt characterizing Totemsky district
- Shut up, shut up. “The prince slammed his hand on the table. - Yes! I know, a letter from Prince Andrei. Princess Marya was reading. Desalles said something about Vitebsk. Now I'll read it.He ordered the letter to be taken out of his pocket and a table with lemonade and a whitish candle to be moved to the bed, and, putting on his glasses, he began to read. Here only in the silence of the night, in the faint light from under the green cap, did he read the letter for the first time and for a moment understand its meaning.
“The French are in Vitebsk, after four crossings they can be at Smolensk; maybe they’re already there.”
- Quiet! - Tikhon jumped up. - No, no, no, no! - he shouted.
He hid the letter under the candlestick and closed his eyes. And he imagined the Danube, a bright afternoon, reeds, a Russian camp, and he enters, he, a young general, without one wrinkle on his face, cheerful, cheerful, ruddy, into Potemkin’s painted tent, and a burning feeling of envy for his favorite, just as strong, as then, worries him. And he remembers all the words that were said then at his first Meeting with Potemkin. And he imagines a short, fat woman with yellowness in her fat face - Mother Empress, her smiles, words when she greeted him for the first time, and he remembers her own face on the hearse and that clash with Zubov, which was then with her coffin for the right to approach her hand.
“Oh, quickly, quickly return to that time, and so that everything now ends as quickly as possible, as quickly as possible, so that they leave me alone!”
Bald Mountains, the estate of Prince Nikolai Andreich Bolkonsky, was located sixty versts from Smolensk, behind it, and three versts from the Moscow road.
On the same evening, as the prince gave orders to Alpatych, Desalles, having demanded a meeting with Princess Marya, informed her that since the prince was not entirely healthy and was not taking any measures for his safety, and from Prince Andrei’s letter it was clear that he was staying in Bald Mountains If it is unsafe, he respectfully advises her to write a letter with Alpatych to the head of the province in Smolensk with a request to notify her about the state of affairs and the extent of the danger to which Bald Mountains are exposed. Desalle wrote a letter to the governor for Princess Marya, which she signed, and this letter was given to Alpatych with the order to submit it to the governor and, in case of danger, to return as soon as possible.
Having received all the orders, Alpatych, accompanied by his family, in a white feather hat (a princely gift), with a stick, just like the prince, went out to sit in a leather tent, packed with three well-fed Savras.
The bell was tied up and the bells were covered with pieces of paper. The prince did not allow anyone to ride in Bald Mountains with a bell. But Alpatych loved bells and bells on a long journey. Alpatych's courtiers, a zemstvo, a clerk, a cook - black, white, two old women, a Cossack boy, coachmen and various servants saw him off.
The daughter placed chintz down pillows behind him and under him. The old lady's sister-in-law secretly slipped the bundle. One of the coachmen gave him a hand.
- Well, well, women's training! Women, women! - Alpatych said puffingly, patteringly exactly as the prince spoke, and sat down in the tent. Having given the last orders about the work to the zemstvo, and in this way not imitating the prince, Alpatych took off his hat from his bald head and crossed himself three times.
- If anything... you will come back, Yakov Alpatych; For Christ’s sake, have pity on us,” his wife shouted to him, hinting at rumors about war and the enemy.
“Women, women, women’s gatherings,” Alpatych said to himself and drove off, looking around at the fields, some with yellowed rye, some with thick, still green oats, some still black, which were just beginning to double. Alpatych rode along, admiring the rare spring harvest this year, looking closely at the strips of rye crops on which people were beginning to reap in some places, and made his economic considerations about sowing and harvesting and whether any princely order had been forgotten.
