Excerpt characterizing Loknya (Pskov region)
Finally, and most importantly, Alpatych knew that on the very day he ordered the headman to collect carts to take the princess’s train from Bogucharovo, there was a meeting in the village in the morning, at which it was supposed not to be taken out and to wait. Meanwhile, time was running out. The leader, on the day of the prince’s death, August 15, insisted to Princess Mary that she leave on the same day, as it was becoming dangerous. He said that after the 16th he is not responsible for anything. On the day of the prince’s death, he left in the evening, but promised to come to the funeral the next day. But the next day he could not come, since, according to the news he himself received, the French had unexpectedly moved, and he only managed to take his family and everything valuable from his estate.For about thirty years Bogucharov was ruled by the elder Dron, whom the old prince called Dronushka.
Dron was one of those physically and morally strong men who, as soon as they get old, grow a beard, and so, without changing, live up to sixty or seventy years, without a single gray hair or missing tooth, just as straight and strong at sixty years old , just like at thirty.
Dron, soon after moving to the warm rivers, in which he participated, like others, was made head mayor in Bogucharovo and since then he has served in this position impeccably for twenty-three years. The men were more afraid of him than the master. The gentlemen, the old prince, the young prince, and the manager, respected him and jokingly called him minister. Throughout his service, Dron was never drunk or sick; never, neither after sleepless nights, nor after any kind of work, did he show the slightest fatigue and, not knowing how to read and write, never forgot a single account of money and pounds of flour for the huge carts that he sold, and not a single shock of snakes for bread on every tithe of Bogucharovo fields.
This Drona Alpatych, who came from the devastated Bald Mountains, called to him on the day of the prince’s funeral and ordered him to prepare twelve horses for the princess’s carriages and eighteen carts for the convoy, which was to be raised from Bogucharovo. Although the men were given quitrents, the execution of this order could not encounter difficulties, according to Alpatych, since in Bogucharovo there were two hundred and thirty taxes and the men were wealthy. But Headman Dron, having listened to the order, silently lowered his eyes. Alpatych named him the men whom he knew and from whom he ordered the carts to be taken.
Dron replied that these men had horses as carriers. Alpatych named other men, and those horses did not have, according to Dron, some were under government carts, others were powerless, and others had horses that died from lack of food. Horses, according to Dron, could not be collected not only for the convoy, but also for the carriages.
Alpatych looked carefully at Dron and frowned. Just as Dron was an exemplary peasant headman, it was not for nothing that Alpatych managed the prince’s estates for twenty years and was an exemplary manager. He was eminently able to understand instinctively the needs and instincts of the people with whom he dealt, and therefore he was an excellent manager. Looking at Dron, he immediately realized that Dron’s answers were not an expression of Dron’s thoughts, but an expression of the general mood of the Bogucharov world, which the headman was already captured by. But at the same time, he knew that Dron, who had profited and was hated by the world, had to oscillate between two camps - the master's and the peasant's. He noticed this hesitation in his gaze, and therefore Alpatych, frowning, moved closer to Dron.
- You, Dronushka, listen! - he said. - Don't tell me nothing. His Excellency Prince Andrei Nikolaich themselves ordered me to send all the people and not stay with the enemy, and there is a royal order for this. And whoever remains is a traitor to the king. Do you hear?
“I’m listening,” Dron answered without raising his eyes.
Alpatych was not satisfied with this answer.
- Hey, Drone, this will be bad! - Alpatych said, shaking his head.
- The power is yours! - Dron said sadly.
- Hey, Drone, leave it! - Alpatych repeated, taking his hand out of his bosom and with a solemn gesture pointing it to the floor at Dron’s feet. “It’s not that I can see right through you, I can see right through everything three arshins below you,” he said, peering at the floor at Dron’s feet.
The drone became embarrassed, glanced briefly at Alpatych and lowered his eyes again.
“You leave the nonsense and tell the people to get ready to leave their houses for Moscow and prepare carts tomorrow morning for the princesses’ train, but don’t go to the meeting yourself.” Do you hear?
The drone suddenly fell at his feet.
- Yakov Alpatych, fire me! Take the keys from me, dismiss me for Christ's sake.
- Leave it! - Alpatych said sternly. “I can see three arshins right under you,” he repeated, knowing that his skill in following bees, his knowledge of when to sow oats, and the fact that for twenty years he knew how to please the old prince had long ago gained him the reputation of a sorcerer and that his ability to see three arshins under a person is attributed to sorcerers.
The drone stood up and wanted to say something, but Alpatych interrupted him:
- What did you think of this? Eh?.. What do you think? A?
– What should I do with the people? - said Dron. - It completely exploded. That's what I tell them...
“That’s what I’m saying,” said Alpatych. - Do they drink? – he asked briefly.
– Yakov Alpatych got all worked up: another barrel was brought.
- So listen. I’ll go to the police officer, and you tell the people, so that they give up this, and so that there are carts.

But she's relatively young Loknya, Pskov region, is old enough for any of its districts to include one of the many historical ones, or simply interesting places. The subject of our today's review was no exception.
History of Lokni
Before appearing on maps in 1901 Loknya, Pskov region the ancient regional center was known - the Trinity-on-Hlavitsa churchyard (now the village of Podberezye). Founded by herself in 947, it can only be called a center with irony, because at that time it was lonely and small in number, at a considerable distance from Pskov. And what kind of areas are there in the 10th century? The main source of income for churchyards was the accommodation of travelers moving goods along the famous route “from the Varangians to the Greeks.” With the extinction of the trade route by the 13th century, a large part of the Loknyansky district was included in the Kholmsky district of the Novgorod land, until the 14th century. Due to its location on the western border of the Russian state, which is remembered on the coat of arms of the region, these lands were the first to stand in the way of foreign invaders. And only by 1667, with the end of the Russian-Polish war, the border moved further to the west, allowing Lokna and the Pskov region to breathe a sigh of relief. And already in the 20th century, during the construction of railways, a settlement grew up near one of the stations, which eventually became a regional center.

Just ten kilometers from the center of the region, in the ruined Brianchaninov estate, there are two buildings, representing a puzzling example of early twentieth-century architecture, using “futuristic” reinforced concrete technology. On the site of the Vlytsa churchyard there is an ancient one, both for Lokni, Pskov region, and in Russia in general, the Transfiguration Church. Built of wood in the 15th century, it was updated to stone in the 1770s to cater for the growing flock. According to legend, it was in it that M.I. was baptized. Kutuzov, and his brother Semyon is buried next to the church porch, as evidenced by a dilapidated granite monument. And as if confirming the glorious tradition of the guards of the Russian land, in the village of Chernushki there is a military memorial on the site of the feat of Alexander Matrosov.

For example, you should not pick the reserved mushroom - coral blackberry. For the protection of which a covering Loknyu, Pskov region and part of the Novgorod region Polistovsky state reserve. As you might guess, protected species also include two other kingdoms. Fauna numbering 305 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish.

Now Vlitsy, once prosperous, has become part of Lokni. The village got its name from the hydronym of the river flowing nearby. According to one version, the word “Loknya” translated from Finnish is called “swampy” or “damp place”.
