Answer from Roman Kapustin[newbie]
The village of Solovikha and the Village of Petropavlovskoye (Petropavlovka)
The Russian village... For some it is a relic of the agrarian past, for others it is the keeper of the Russian soul. One way or another, on average, urbanization “eats up” three villages in the country every year.
What are the reasons for the extinction and degradation of the Russian village? How many villages are there in Russia today? And which of them are the most beautiful? You will find answers to all these questions in our article.
Unemployment, hopelessness, despondency...
It is with such unpleasant words that the modern Russian village is most often described. Broken asphalt, fragmentarily left over from prosperous Soviet times, abandoned farms, destroyed houses of culture, dirt, lack of lighting and central sewerage - this is typical for most of the villages and villages of today's Russia. Of course, there are pleasant exceptions. But they are catastrophically few.
Many villages in Russia, in view of the vast area of the latter, are literally cut off from any benefits of civilization. They can be located several hundred kilometers from the nearest city or regional center. In such villages, people, like a hundred or two hundred years ago, live by subsistence farming: they sow fields, raise livestock, fish, hunt and drink strong tea from real samovars.
A classic example of the "Russian hinterland" is the so-called Krasny Bereg. This is an area consisting of three villages, lost in the middle of the coniferous forests of the Vologda region. Their total population is 10 people. In fact, there are no roads to these settlements. In winter it can only be overcome by snowmobile, and in summer (after heavy rain) only by tractor. Water - from springs, light - from kerosene lamps, generator - one for three villages.
And how many similar villages are scattered across the expanses of vast Russia is hard to say.
Russian villages are dying out
According to Rosstat, in the first nine months of this year, the population of Russia decreased by 173,000 people. The villages of the northwest and the center of Russia are dying out faster than others. And in the Tver region, the pace is higher than the national average.
“The most alarming situation in terms of mortality today is observed in the Ivanovo, Tula, Novgorod, Tver and Pskov regions,” Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova named the five regions suffering from a demographic disaster.
The countryside is particularly affected. The government financially encourages the birth of a second and subsequent children, the same measures are provided for at the regional level. But bad roads and lack of work convince more than maternity capital.
“Only resettlement from the village to the city gave 20-30% of the salary. It was enough to move to the city. And if you raise the level of qualifications, then the difference will be even higher,” says Salavat Abylkalikov, a demographer and researcher at the Higher School of Economics.
In the summer of 2018, experts counted 2,234 empty villages in the Tver region. This is more than in any other region of Russia. Statistics will be replenished, because there are many villages in which 1-2 people live.
Every fourth village in the Tver region is abandoned. Away from the main roads are crumbling houses. The farther from the highway "Russia", the more often such a picture occurs.
“The houses are empty. This one is empty, this one is empty, this one is empty. That one is empty, that one is empty, and that one is empty. Three houses on the street are residential. That is, a dying village. Well, let's move on,” says Sergey Krivchenkov, a resident of the Tver region.
Not only businesses and hospitals are closing, but also schools. Due to optimization, schoolchildren have to be transported to large villages and small towns. The villagers call life in the village hard.
“There were 800-900 people here. I graduated from high school in 1972. There were 200 of us - students in this school. But before my eyes, they all died.”
“We are used to it, but life, of course, is hard. Because little attention is paid to us. The roads are bad. The light turns off. Little attention is paid to us.”
The Tver region is in third place both in terms of mortality and population decline. Neighbors in all these ratings are the same old-developed "root" regions of Russia near Moscow and St. Petersburg.
“Therefore, the leaders are the millionaire cities. That's why all cities with millionaires want... or rather, all cities want to get the status of a millionaire or 500,000. If you have acquired this status, this is a different level of attention, a different level of funding,” says Salavat Abylkalikov, a demographer and researcher at the Higher School of Economics.
Whether it is necessary and whether it is possible to stop this process?
Alexander Merzlov: In our opinion, of course, this must be done. But, unfortunately, modern agrarian policy is not conducive to this. Since the rate of depopulation continues to be very high, let's say there is a program for the sustainable development of rural areas. But it mainly affects those rural settlements that are located next to large objects of the agro-industrial complex. The majority of rural areas are not covered by this program, and the rate of disappearance of villages and their depopulation continues to be very high.
That is, in fact, this is an inevitable process?
Alexander Merzlov A: No, it depends on the type of agricultural policy. If agrarian policy is oriented towards large agricultural holdings, if its interests are not the interests of the rural community, but the interests of large agricultural business, then, of course, this is actually the American model, everything will remain as it is. Our agriculture is developing, milk yields are growing, productivity is also growing, but at the same time, the state of the social sphere continues to deteriorate. It can be said that business continues to be concentrated in rural areas.
There are countries with more socially oriented models, for example, France, where more emphasis is placed on supporting small forms of management. And this leads to a greater variety of agricultural products, and to a better care of rural landscapes, and has a very large indirect effect in the form of attractive jobs in various fields. Our country is large enough, and in order to be engaged in the agro-industrial complex, thank God, we have vast expanses where you can do it - I don’t want to, I mean large-scale farming.
But, in our opinion, in residential areas where people live, in areas with increased recreational and cultural potentials, it is necessary to develop small-scale farms that will be focused on quality food, varied food, and the development of recreational and tourist potentials. And so we can implement these models.

The tourist guide, designed to increase the popularity of rural tourism, includes enticing and unexpected routes.
1. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VILLAGE. Vyatskoye (Yaroslavl region)
This Russian hinterland was in caring and loving hands. The village has not only its own website (you won’t surprise anyone with this), but also a map of attractions, the possibility of online booking of huts, and even its own press center.
The ancient merchant village of Vyatskoye is located in the Nekrasovsky district - one of the most environmentally friendly and historically significant areas of the Yaroslavl region. It can be easily reached by car from Yaroslavl, the journey will take less than an hour. What is the peculiarity of Vyatka and why was it recognized as one of the most beautiful villages in the country?
The village of Vyatskoye is a unique town-planning complex of the 18th-19th centuries with more than 50 registered architectural monuments, former merchant and peasant houses, tea and tavern establishments, almshouses. There are 10 museums on its territory.
In Vyatka, the festival "Province - the soul of Russia" is held. During the festival, young musicians, artists, sculptors come here.

2. THE MOST HISTORICAL DISTRICT. Uvek (Saratov region)
Few people know that in the Saratov region you can find objects of all historical eras: from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages. These unique monuments make the region one of the richest in cultural and historical terms throughout the Eurasian space. One of the main attractions of the region is now the outskirts of Saratov, in which, since the 8th century AD, the largest urban center of the Golden Horde - Ukek.
Today, the festival of historical reconstruction "One day in the life of a medieval city" is held here. In 2016, the event will take place from 2 to 4 September. Guests will see the work of medieval artisans, take part in master classes in birch bark weaving, try their hand at archery and belt wrestling.
Several main locations will be presented on the historical site: the Emir's Headquarters, the Russian Quarter, the European Embassy, and the Bazaar. Each of them will recreate the past of the times of the Golden Horde.

3. THE MOST HAPPY VILLAGE. Esso (Kamchatka Territory)
Getting here is not easy. The village of Esso is located 600 kilometers from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, on the very border of the tundra.
Numerous thermal springs have turned a simple village into a geothermal resort. They also feed the pool open all year round on the main square. Locals say that Esso can claim the title of "Happiest Village".
After all, there are no such coniferous forests as in Esso anywhere else in Kamchatka, and the Ichinsky volcano (3621 m) is the second largest (after Klyuchevskaya Sopka) of the active volcanoes of Eurasia. Hot springs heat houses and greenhouses that grow cucumbers, tomatoes and even grapes! The climate in Esso is sharply continental, so in summer Esso is the warmest place in Kamchatka, and in winter the thermometer here can drop to -47 ° C!
Esso has festivals every year. The main event is held on the last Sunday of February: Beringia, an extreme dog sled race, starts on this day.

And here, every spring, Atlantic salmon rises along the river - earlier it was the main fishery of the villagers. Today, the movement of fish attracts more and more tourists. Someone goes to see a unique natural phenomenon, and someone goes fishing - camps for fishing tourists stretch for hundreds of kilometers along the Varzuga River of the same name.
