Vladimir region villages and villages. The most beautiful villages of the Vladimir region have been named

Meet us! This is the village of Chamerevo, in the Sudogodsky district of the Vladimir region. And it is the most beautiful rural settlement in the region. At least, it was he who won the competition “The most beautiful village in the Vladimir region” and won 100 thousand rubles.
Going to Chamerevo, I kept wondering: what is so remarkable about this place? Fortunately, I found the answers.

By the way, local residents already know what to spend the 100 thousand rubles they won on. Over the past few years, the village has been actively working to update the monument to soldiers who fell during the Great Patriotic War. Now it looks like this.

In the future, as she told me, the monument will be restored. New plaques will appear with the names of the fighters - not only the fallen, but also the survivors - those who drank through the hard times of war... Activists also expect to clean up and improve the area around the monument. The funds won will be used for these purposes.

Personally, I came to the conclusion that Chamerevo, like many other villages and hamlets, is strong because of its intelligentsia. Take, for example, the wonderful women who gave my colleague and me a short tour of the village. These are the head of the local library Tatyana Ivanovna Runova, the head of the Chamerevsky rural cultural center Tatyana Nikolaevna Andronova and an employee of the local museum of crafts and everyday life Olga Zacharias. It is felt that they not only root for their land with all their hearts, but are also ready to make efforts to make it better.

For example, there are three choirs in the village, two of which have folk status. The local club previously participated in the competition for the best rural cultural center and took first place. The victory brought 100 thousand rubles, which were used to purchase modern equipment. In general, local residents dream of an extension to the club.

In fact, our life changed a lot for the better about eight years ago when we installed gas. This immediately gives a serious impetus: people begin to build, begin to develop. Eventually, they begin to smile more. Gas in the village gives a completely different quality of life, says Tatyana Runova. – And today we have several stores here, a first aid station, a post office, and a patriotic sports club named after Alexander Nevsky. There is a kindergarten and a school - there are excellent teachers there!

With the same success and delight, Tatyana Ivanovna talks about famous people who were born or who visited Chamerev. According to the woman, the family of Alexander Griboedov lived in these parts - the writer was very young in those years. Writer and journalist Viktor Poltoratsky has been here. Tsar Ivan the Terrible passed through these lands on a campaign. At the same time, the sovereign sought, as they say, to instill Orthodoxy in the masses, and therefore in many settlements his army erected “ordinary” churches. As I understand it, ordinary means delivered in one day.
“I can safely say that this is where Russia began,” Tatyana Runova proudly notes. - Our wonderful land, like a magnet, attracts wonderful people! And why - can you guess...

The functioning temple is another “system-forming link” of Chamerev.

However, he has a very difficult fate. In 1785, the church was consecrated in the name of the Transfiguration of the Lord. The Soviet authorities treated the temple without reverence. According to local residents, the abbot was forced to pay an exorbitant tax. Like, if you collect money from people, it’s okay. Only the people themselves were starving. The priest refused - and ended up in one of the camps in the north of the country. And then the temple fell into disrepair for years.
Only in the 90s did activists begin restoring the church - collecting signatures from residents and funds. Things went strained - after all, they needed a lot of money.
But gradually the dilapidated building was transformed. This is a great merit of the current rector of the church, Father Victor. He has been here since 2006.
- When I ended up in Chamerevo, there were essentially bare walls here. We restored the temple gradually,” says the priest. - But, what is much more important, we had to restore the parish. The fact is that out of more than seven hundred residents, 10-15 people went to church. Now we have about 70 people. I still believe that first of all we need to deal with souls. And the walls are a secondary matter.

There is a holy spring of Alexander Nevsky in Chamerev. It is located in a place of stunning beauty - it will take your breath away.

Inside the building I saw a font and this announcement.

By the way, the interlocutors invited me to come and visit for Epiphany and, most importantly, Christmas. It is celebrated here from the heart.

Here are some of the local museum's exhibits. In several rooms - a little bit of everything. Interesting to see.

A few more observations. The village is tidy, without spontaneous garbage dumps and destruction on the roadsides. There are enough flower beds with flowers that survived until late autumn.

The houses are also nice. I also saw palaces - mansions of Moscow summer residents.

You can’t share all your impressions at once, so this is not the last post about Chamerev. In general, the settlement left a very favorable impression. This village is one of those that does not die, but develops. All that remains is to wish you good luck!

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 is the Chairman of the branch I.A. Karlovich and members of the Branch Council A.K. Tikhonov and A.E. Karpov. Other organizers of the competition were the Council of Supporters of United Russia, OPORA of Russia, and the Administration of the Vladimir Region.

This time, 37 villages took part in the competition, almost 2 times more compared to last year’s 20 participants. It is very pleasant that the Beautiful Villages Competition attracts wide attention from area residents, village residents and the media. More than 15,000 people took part in the preliminary voting. Representatives of the villages very cordially received the visiting commissions of the Organizing Committee and we really hope that the competition will allow village residents to take a fresh look at their small homeland, will become another reason for pride and will contribute to their development.

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

On July 27, a list of the most beautiful villages in the Vladimir region was announced. In the spring, to a competition organized by United Russia 36 participants showed up. In recent months, members of the organizing committee have been visiting the site and studying the condition of villages and hamlets, communicating with local residents.

Within the walls of the Vladimir-Suzdal Museum-Reserve, the villagers were awarded by Vice-Speaker of the Legislative Assembly Vyacheslav Kartukhin, Deputy Governor Alexey Konyshev, Chairman of the local “Support of Russia” Ekaterina Kraskina and President of the Association of the Most Beautiful Villages of Russia Alexander Merzlov.

The deputy general director of VGTRK, the famous presenter Evgeniy Revenko, acted as the guest of honor. From the stage he gave a touching speech:

“We need to raise the question more and more often about how our village lives, how we restore our village and how people live in these villages. Your heart aches when you scroll through the competition entries, for example, the village of Spasskoye-Gorodishche. I was especially struck by the photograph depicting children marching in the “Immortal Regiment” action. This is also the essence of active patriotism, this is what makes Russia strong, the Russian land is strong.”

The “big” three winners included:

III - p. Usolye (Kameshkovsky district);
II - Orekhovo village (Sobinsky district);
I - Yuromka (Selivanovsky district);

The “small” three winners included:

III - Stepantsevo village (Vyaznikovsky district);
II - p. Cherkutino (Sobinsky district);
I - p. Borisovskoye (Suzdal region).

The winners received 50,000 rubles. For second place they gave 30,000, and for third - 15,000 rubles.

The jury was unable to determine the super-winner and "Grand Prix 2016" received two neighboring villages in the Melenkovsky district - Butylitsy and Arkhangel. They divided the prize - 100,000 rubles - in half.

In addition to the main awards, the organizers have provided many other nominations. Apparently, so as not to offend the other participants.
