Weekend tour. Buturlinovka

Sloboda Buturlinovka was founded in 1740 on lands donated to Count Alexander Buturlin by Empress Elizabeth Petrovna. Since the second half of the 19th century, Buturlinovka was a trade and craft settlement, one of the centers of leather production in the Voronezh province. At the end of the 19th century, up to a million pairs of boots were produced here every year. Each pair made in Buturlinovka was sold throughout the Russian Empire, including to the royal family.

Recently, Buturlinovka has been transformed. The city restored the park, organized an ecological trail in the Thorn Forest, and interesting monuments appeared. We tell you how interesting it is to spend a weekend in Buturlinovka.

The design of the temple was developed by the architect Vladimir Stoinovsky. Funds for construction were allocated by the merchant and flour miller Vasily Mikhailovich Kashchenko. The decor of the facades contains elements of Byzantine architecture and classicism. The cathedral was closed in the early 1930s, and during the war there was a tank repair workshop here. The restoration of the temple began in the mid-80s. And now the cathedral in our region is one of the most beautiful and interesting architectural structures of the 19th century. The temple is open daily from 8.00 to 16.00.

Legends

If Nikita Khrushchev knew history well, he would have given Ukraine not Crimea, but the Voronezh region or at least its Buturlinovsky district, because its population consists equally of Russians and Ukrainians.
It is believed that the “Khokhlovs were called” here by Elizabeth Petrovna’s favorite Count Alexander Buturlin, to whom she granted 80 thousand acres of black soil in the upper reaches of the Osered River. Meanwhile, people from Little Russia began to settle here long before the appearance of the count and the settlement named after him. These were mostly runaway servicemen and other “free tillers” who did not want to work for the master. Buturlin transferred his peasants here from near Moscow and Smolensk, and thus the settlement named after him became a settlement where Russians and Ukrainians literally got along freely with each other.

Imperial policy, however, did not bypass this freemen: in 1783, Buturlinovka, like most Voronezh settlements and farmsteads, was attached to the landowner. Popular indignation grew into riots, which were suppressed. The descendants of the “free cultivators” were in bondage until 1842, until they paid the Moscow Guardianship Council two million rubles. Crazy money for those times. But Buturlinovka could afford such a ransom.

An excerpt characterizing Buturlinovka

It was not difficult to say “tomorrow” and maintain a tone of decency; but to come home alone, to see your sisters, brother, mother, father, to confess and ask for money to which you have no right after your word of honor was given. We weren't sleeping at home yet. The youth of the Rostov house, having returned from the theater, having had dinner, sat at the clavichord. As soon as Nikolai entered the hall, he was overwhelmed by that loving, poetic atmosphere that reigned in their house that winter and which now, after Dolokhov’s proposal and Iogel’s ball, seemed to thicken even more, like the air before a thunderstorm, over Sonya and Natasha. Sonya and Natasha, in the blue dresses they wore at the theater, pretty and knowing it, happy, smiling, stood at the clavichord. Vera and Shinshin were playing chess in the living room. The old countess, waiting for her son and husband, was playing solitaire with an old noblewoman who lived in their house. Denisov, with shining eyes and tousled hair, sat with his leg thrown back at the clavichord, clapping them with his short fingers, striking chords, and rolling his eyes, in his small, hoarse, but faithful voice, sang the poem he had composed, “The Sorceress,” to which he was trying to find music. Sorceress, tell me what force draws me to the abandoned strings; What fire did you plant in your heart, what delight spread through your fingers! He sang in a passionate voice, shining at the frightened and happy Natasha with his agate, black eyes. - Wonderful! Great! – Natasha shouted. “Another verse,” she said, not noticing Nikolai. “They have everything the same,” thought Nikolai, looking into the living room, where he saw Vera and his mother with the old woman. - A! Here comes Nikolenka! – Natasha ran up to him. - Is daddy at home? - he asked. – I’m so glad you came! – Natasha said without answering, “we’re having so much fun.” Vasily Dmitrich remains for me one more day, you know? “No, dad hasn’t come yet,” said Sonya. - Coco, you have arrived, come to me, my friend! - said the countess's voice from the living room. Nikolai approached his mother, kissed her hand and, silently sitting down at her table, began to look at her hands, laying out the cards. Laughter and cheerful voices were still heard from the hall, persuading Natasha. “Well, okay, okay,” Denisov shouted, “now there’s no point in making excuses, barcarolla is behind you, I beg you.” The Countess looked back at her silent son. - What happened to you? – Nikolai’s mother asked. “Oh, nothing,” he said, as if he was already tired of this same question. - Will daddy arrive soon? - I think. “Everything is the same for them. They don't know anything! Where should I go?” thought Nikolai and went back to the hall where the clavichord stood. Sonya sat at the clavichord and played the prelude of the barcarolle that Denisov especially loved. Natasha was going to sing. Denisov looked at her with delighted eyes. Nikolai began to walk back and forth around the room. “And now you want to make her sing? – what can she sing? And there’s nothing fun here,” thought Nikolai. Sonya struck the first chord of the prelude. “My God, I am lost, I am a dishonest person. A bullet in the forehead, the only thing left to do is not sing, he thought. Leave? but where? anyway, let them sing!” Nikolai gloomily, continuing to walk around the room, glanced at Denisov and the girls, avoiding their gaze. “Nikolenka, what’s wrong with you?” – asked Sonya’s gaze fixed on him. She immediately saw that something had happened to him. Nikolai turned away from her. Natasha, with her sensitivity, also instantly noticed her brother’s condition. She noticed him, but she herself was so happy at that moment, she was so far from grief, sadness, reproaches, that she (as often happens with young people) deliberately deceived herself. No, I’m having too much fun now to spoil my fun by sympathizing with someone else’s grief, she felt, and said to herself: “No, I’m definitely mistaken, he should be as cheerful as I am.” Well, Sonya,” she said and went out to the very middle of the hall, where, in her opinion, the resonance was best. Raising her head, lowering her lifelessly hanging hands, as dancers do, Natasha, energetically shifting from heel to tiptoe, walked through the middle of the room and stopped. "Here I am!" as if she was speaking in response to the enthusiastic gaze of Denisov, who was watching her. “And why is she happy! - Nikolai thought, looking at his sister. And how isn’t she bored and ashamed!” Natasha hit the first note, her throat expanded, her chest straightened, her eyes took on a serious expression. She was not thinking about anyone or anything at that moment, and sounds flowed from her folded mouth into a smile, those sounds that anyone can make at the same intervals and at the same intervals, but which a thousand times leave you cold, in the thousand and first times they make you shudder and cry. This winter Natasha began to sing seriously for the first time, especially because Denisov admired her singing. She no longer sang like a child, there was no longer in her singing that comic, childish diligence that was in her before; but she still did not sing well, as all the expert judges who listened to her said. “Not processed, but a wonderful voice, it needs to be processed,” everyone said. But they usually said this long after her voice had fallen silent. At the same time, when this raw voice sounded with irregular aspirations and with efforts of transitions, even the expert judges did not say anything, and only enjoyed this raw voice and only wanted to hear it again. In her voice there was that virginal pristineness, that ignorance of her own strengths and that still unprocessed velvet, which were so combined with the shortcomings of the art of singing that it seemed impossible to change anything in this voice without spoiling it. “What is this? - Nikolai thought, hearing her voice and opening his eyes wide. -What happened to her? How does she sing these days? - he thought. And suddenly the whole world focused for him, waiting for the next note, the next phrase, and everything in the world became divided into three tempos: “Oh mio crudele affetto... [Oh my cruel love...] One, two, three... one, two... three... one... Oh mio crudele affetto... One, two, three... one. Eh, our life is stupid! - Nikolai thought. All this, and misfortune, and money, and Dolokhov, and anger, and honor - all this is nonsense... but here it is real... Hey, Natasha, well, my dear! Well, mother!... how will she take this si? I took it! God bless!" - and he, without noticing that he was singing, in order to strengthen this si, took the second to the third of a high note. "My God! how good! Did I really take it? how happy!” he thought. ABOUT! how this third trembled, and how something better that was in Rostov’s soul was touched. And this was something independent of everything in the world, and above everything in the world. What kind of losses are there, and the Dolokhovs, and honestly!... It’s all nonsense! You can kill, steal and still be happy... For a long time Rostov has not experienced such pleasure from music as on this day. But as soon as Natasha finished her barcarolle, reality came back to him again. He left without saying anything and went downstairs to his room. A quarter of an hour later the old count, cheerful and satisfied, arrived from the club. Nikolai, hearing his arrival, went to him. - Well, did you have fun? - said Ilya Andreich, smiling joyfully and proudly at his son. Nikolai wanted to say “yes,” but he couldn’t: he almost burst into tears. The Count was lighting his pipe and did not notice his son’s condition. “Oh, inevitably!” - Nikolai thought for the first and last time. And suddenly, in the most casual tone, such that he seemed disgusted to himself, as if he was asking the carriage to go to the city, he told his father. - Dad, I came to you for business. I forgot about it. I need money. “That’s it,” said the father, who was in a particularly cheerful spirit. - I told you that it won’t be enough. Is it a lot? “A lot,” Nikolai said, blushing and with a stupid, careless smile, which for a long time later he could not forgive himself. – I lost a little, that is, a lot, even a lot, 43 thousand. - What? Who?... You're kidding! - shouted the count, suddenly turning apoplectic red in the neck and back of his head, like old people blush. “I promised to pay tomorrow,” said Nikolai. “Well!...” said the old count, spreading his arms and sank helplessly onto the sofa. - What to do! Who hasn't this happened to? - said the son in a cheeky, bold tone, while in his soul he considered himself a scoundrel, a scoundrel who could not atone for his crime with his whole life. He would have liked to kiss his father's hands, on his knees to ask for his forgiveness, but he said in a careless and even rude tone that this happens to everyone. Count Ilya Andreich lowered his eyes when he heard these words from his son and hurried, looking for something. “Yes, yes,” he said, “it’s difficult, I’m afraid, it’s difficult to get... never happened to anyone!” yes, who hasn’t happened to... - And the count glanced briefly into his son’s face and walked out of the room... Nikolai was preparing to fight back, but he never expected this. - Daddy! pa... hemp! - he shouted after him, sobbing; excuse me! “And, grabbing his father’s hand, he pressed his lips to it and began to cry. While the father was explaining to his son, an equally important explanation was taking place between the mother and daughter. Natasha ran to her mother excitedly. - Mom!... Mom!... he did it to me... - What did he do? - I did, I proposed. Mother! Mother! - she shouted. The Countess could not believe her ears. Denisov proposed. To whom? This tiny girl Natasha, who had recently been playing with dolls and was now taking lessons. - Natasha, that’s complete nonsense! – she said, still hoping that it was a joke. - Well, that's nonsense! “I’m telling you the truth,” Natasha said angrily. – I came to ask what to do, and you tell me: “nonsense”... The Countess shrugged. “If it’s true that Monsieur Denisov proposed to you, then tell him that he’s a fool, that’s all.” “No, he’s not a fool,” Natasha said offendedly and seriously. - Well, what do you want? You are all in love these days. Well, you’re in love, so marry him! – the countess said, laughing angrily. - With God blessing! - No, mom, I’m not in love with him, I must not be in love with him. - Well, tell him so. - Mom, are you angry? You’re not angry, my dear, what’s my fault?
