Simbirsk province- an administrative-territorial unit of the Russian Empire and the RSFSR, which existed in 1796 - 1928. Provincial town - Simbirsk. By the beginning of the 20th century, the Simbirsk province occupied 49.5 thousand km² (43,491 versts²). It bordered in the north with the Kazan province, in the east with the Volga, which separates it from the Samara province (covering the left bank of the Volga in only two places: opposite Simbirsk and in Syzran), in the south with Saratov, in the west with the Penza and Nizhny Novgorod provinces. In 1926, the area of the province was 34,071 km². The territory of the province has been inhabited since ancient times. The first more definitive information about it is found in Arab writers, some of whom were here in person in the 10th century, when the Baghdad Caliphate established diplomatic ties with the Bulgars. According to these sources, Burtases lived in the southern part of the province, and Mordovians lived along the Volga, especially to the north of the place where Simbirsk was located. In the 13th century, the Tatars appeared in the region. In the XIV century, with the strengthening of the princes of Nizhny Novgorod, they extended their power in the Mordovian land to the upper reaches of the Sura, which served as a border from the Horde possessions. However, at this time, apart from the city of Kurmysh and perhaps a few secluded farmsteads or guard posts, the Nizhny Novgorod princes did not arrange anything here. In all likelihood, Russian colonization did not extend beyond the Alatyr River here. It was not on the right bank of the Sura until the last quarter of the 16th century, from the end of which the settlement of Russians within the current Simbirsk province becomes more noticeable. Even during the reign of Tsar Ivan the Terrible, the city of Alatyr arose, then many villages in the Syzran and Sengileevsky counties. Ostrozhkas were set up to protect themselves from the attacks of the freemen and the libertines, which always held on to the Volga, but at the end of the 16th century they were especially strengthened due to the peasants being assigned to the landowners. In 1648 Simbirsk was founded and to the southwest a defensive line was built from an earthen rampart with a ditch and a wooden tyn, and in places with notches, towers and forts. She continued on to the Penza province; its remains were quite significant even by the end of the 19th century. The former fortified stockades existed at that time under the name of suburbs and villages. Simbirsk province was abolished in 1928 during the economic zoning of the USSR. On January 19, 1943, the Ulyanovsk region was formed on a part of the territory of the former Simbirsk province.

Alatyr- a city in Russia, the administrative center of the Alatyr municipal district of Chuvashia (which is not part of). The city is located in the Middle Volga region, on the left bank of the Sura River, near the confluence of the Alatyr tributary. The territory of the city is 41.7 km². The official date of the foundation of the city is 1552 - the time of the first mention of Alatyr in the Patriarchal (Nikon) Chronicle: “And the sovereign taught to think with his brother with Prince Vladimir Andreevich and with the boyars and with all the governors, how to go to Kazan and to which places; and the sovereign sentenced the emperor to march in two, accommodating the people, and the emperor himself to go to Volodimer and to Murom, and let the governor go to Rezan and Meschera, and the descent to the Field after Alatar. " This text is one of the fragments of the description of the last (third) campaign of Ivan IV against Kazan, which ended with the conquest of the Kazan Khanate. The mention of Alatyr along with other cities allowed historians to suggest that by that time the city already existed. In particular, the "Geographical Lexicon" by F. A. Polunin provides information indicating that Alatyr was founded in the XIII century, during the reign of Yuri Vsevolodovich Vladimirsky as a prison on the site of a Mordovian village, which in the XVI century was transferred by John IV to a new, more convenient place for the fortress. Disagreements among historians are also caused when in reality the Russian army, led by the tsar, passed through the territory of the present city. So, one of the researchers of the history of the Surya, V.M.Shishkin, believes that Alatyr could have been founded by Ivan Vasilyevich during not the last, but still the 1st Kazan campaign (that is, in 1547-1548). The only unconditional and indisputable fact is that a settlement on the site of a modern city existed long before it was mentioned in Russian chronicles. This is confirmed by the found remains of an ancient settlement (presumably belonging to one of the Mordovian tribes), and archaeological finds (including the X-XII centuries), and the name of the Erzyan settlement of Sandulei (Erz. Syangley, “Fork of the river”) preserved in the toponymy of Alatyr.
Karsun- a working village in the Ulyanovsk region of Russia. The administrative center of the Karsun region. Karsun, in the past a city, now an urban-type settlement is located on the high hilly bank of the Barysh River, at the confluence of the Karsunka River with it. Along the watershed of the Barysh River and its tributaries, a flat area of terrain has formed, convenient for overland movement to the east through Tagai and Tetyushskoye to the crossing of the Volga in the Simbirsk region: to the northwest to the crossing over the Sura in the Promzino area and to the southeast to the crossing of the Sura in the Penza region, and then to Kiev and in the same direction with a turn to Ryazan towards Moscow. The ancient caravan route from Bolgars to Kiev passed through these places, and one of the camps was located in the area of modern Karsun. On the map of the Kazan Khanate during the campaigns of Ivan the Terrible, there is the first documentary mention of Korsun as an aul of the Kazan Khanate and, in fact, a stopping point on a large caravan route. 1647 is the time when Bogdan Khitrovo, sent here by Alexei Mikhailovich, created a fortified outpost of the Russian state on the new southern borders to protect against nomadic tribes (this date is considered the year of foundation of the settlement). Obviously, he left the names of the new fortresses - Karsun and Simbirsk - after the existing settlements.
Tatar Abyss- a village, part of the Bolsheaksinskoye rural settlement of the Drozhzhanovsky district of Tatarstan. Tatar Abyss is one of the oldest settlements in Tatarstan with a 1000-year history. Near the village there is a Tataro-Bezdninskoe settlement with two mounds. Four versts from the Chuvash village of the Abyss, in the field and not far from the forest, between the rivers Abyss and Mazare-Syurmi, there is a town of a quadrangular shape, entrenched by a rampart with a moat, which has two exits. The town is 70 fathoms long and 50 fathoms wide. A gun and various iron items were found in it. Between the towns of the villages of the Russian Abyss and the Chuvash Abyss, there are mounds of earth in the fields in the form of hillocks, which are called Nogai graves. Near the village Russian Abyss there is a town entrenched with a quadrangular rampart with a moat. The town has an exit to the west. According to legend, a prince lived in it. Chuvash Abyss- a village, part of the Bolsheaksinskoye rural settlement of the Drozhzhanovsky district of Tatarstan, located 2 kilometers from the Tatar Abyss (in the south-west of the Drozhzhanovsky district). Removed from the district center by 12 km. There is a school, which was founded in 1892 as a zemstvo school. The place for the village was chosen because the river Abyss begins here. The population is predominantly Chuvash. On the territory of the village of Chuvashskaya Abyss, burials and household items were found, which indicates that people in this territory lived already in the period of the early Bulgars. River Abyss- the right tributary of the Sura (Volga basin). It flows within the Shemurshinsky and Alatyr regions of Chuvashia, flows into the Sura near the city of Alatyr. A significant part of the current passes through the Chavash Varmane National Park. A source near the village of Chuvashskaya Bezdna, Drozhzhanovsky District, Republic of Tatarstan. The length of the river is 106 km.
Prislonikha- the village of Karsunsky district of the Ulyanovsk region, located 32 km north-east of the regional center on the Maly Uren river. The village of Prislonikha was founded in 1672 near the Kamenny Brod river, later named Maly Uren. In the Simbirsk clerical chamber, the rejection books indicate that “in 1672 the Sinbirian Ivan Baksheev assigned the local lands to Reiter Stepan Maksimov 30 couples, to the Reiter Afanasy Slapoguzov with comrades, nine people, and an elective regiment to soldiers Grishka Repin with 30 comrades, ten people each one in the Sinbirsky district, behind the rampart, up the Urenya river, along the Kamensky Brod river, along the Vasilyeva edge of Yazykov and the soldier's edge of Larion Sokin, the village of Belago Klyuch. " Simbirsk historian P.L. Martynov believes that the founder of the village was Martyn Grigorievich Boltachevsky, after him the village was owned by his grandson, Semyon Ivanovich Boltachevakiy. Initially, the village was called Epiphany, after the name of the first church "in the name of the Epiphany of the Lord." According to the documents of 1694, the village had the name "Epiphany, Kamenny Brod identity" after the name of the church and the river. The modern name of the village Prislonikha appeared at the end of the 18th century. The fact is that the village, located at the foot of low hills (ridges), seemed to "lean" against them.
Tagay- a village (formerly a city) in the Mainsky district of the Ulyanovsk region of Russia. Tagay was founded in the middle of the 17th century as a fortification within the Simbirsk line, in 1780 it received the status of a county town, in 1796 it became a supernumerary, now a village.
The out-of-state town of Kotyakov (the middle of the XVII century - 1780 the village of Kotyakovo, 1780 - 1796 the city of Kotyakov, 1796 to the present - the village of Kotyakovo) - a village in the Gorenskoye rural settlement of the Karsunsky district of the Ulyanovsk region (the former Gorinsky volost of the Karsunsky district of the Simbirsk province) ... It is located on the right bank of the Sura River, at the mouth of the Gorenka River, 22 km north-west of Karsun and 119 km west of Ulyanovsk (along the highway). The village has been known since the 17th century. By the decree of Catherine II on September 15, 1780, the village was transformed into the district town of Kotyakov of the Simbirsk governorship. In 1796, the Kotyakovsky district was abolished, and the city again became a village. According to legend, the settlement was founded by a native of the village of Naletovo (now the village of Nalitovo, Inzensky District) Mordvin Kotyak, even before the construction of the Simbirsko-Karsunskaya notch line in the middle of the 17th century and the mass colonization of the region. The Razin revolt of Kotyakovo is mentioned in documents relating to the Cossack-peasant war of 1670-1671 under the leadership of Stepan Razin. In early September 1670, being at the walls of Simbirsk, Razin sent special Cossack detachments - "beaters" to the inhabitants of the region with calls to join his army. After the defeat of the Razins near Simbirsk, the governor Baryatinsky moved along the Simbirsk-Karsun line. On November 12 and 18, he defeated the rebels near Ust-Uren. The surviving Razins scattered around the surroundings, went into the forests and made notches and fortresses with log walls, ramparts and ditches. Prince Yuri Baryatinsky stopped with the entire army in Kotyakov and here in the winter of 1670-1671 he carried out reprisals against the captured Razins. “After that, the frightened rebels began to humble themselves and sent deputations to Kotyakov with an expression of humility and promises that they would not bother with any thieves' charms in advance. Baryatinsky, content with their oaths, soon then set out from Kotyakov to Alatyr. " Soon after these events, in 1671, parishioners built the first church in Kotyakovo in the name of the Archangel Michael. By the decree of Empress Catherine II of September 15, 1780, the village of Kotyakovo turned into the city of Kotyakov - the center of the Kotyakovsky district of the Simbirsky governorship. The following offices were opened in the city: the District Court, the Noble Guardianship, the Gorodnik Board, the Lower Zemstvo Court and the Uyezd Treasury. The county consisted of 89 villages and villages with a population of 60 thousand people. There were two distilleries and 40 mills here. The coat of arms of Kotyakov was approved on December 22, 1780, together with other coats of arms of the cities of the Simbirsk governorship. It is a blue field shield, divided by a longitudinal line into two parts. At the top is the Simbirsk coat of arms (a column crowned with an imperial crown), at the bottom - "three green mountains in a blue field, which in fact are in this city."
Nikitino- A village in the Ulyanovsk region, the administrative center of the Nikitinsky rural settlement. Located 120 km north-west of Ulyanovsk. "Wild field", so in the days of "gray" antiquity, local places were called. The impassable taiga stretched for hundreds of kilometers. She aroused horror and admiration among the people who dared to populate this land. But people have always been attracted to these places. This is evidenced, for example, found in the village. Nikitino treasure of the Golden Horde coins of the XIII century. This proves that people lived here already in the 13th century. And the places were really marvelous: an abundance of forests, which provided building materials, food, furs; the Barysh river is navigable and rich in fish; the Chechora River was still a spring at that time; land that is not fertile enough, but gives a good harvest. The time of the emergence of the village of Nikitino falls on the second half of the 17th century - then, as a result of the victories of the Moscow Tsar Ivan IV "the Terrible" over Kazan, the colonization of the region by Russian people began. From central Russia, fugitive peasants began to appear in these places, who gave life to the village. Nikitino and nearby villages. Land in the village. Nikitino belonged to the count, landowner Guryev. The origin of the name of the village does not raise doubts that it is truly Russian. It is possible that the village was named after its founder-leader. It was the leader of a band of fugitive peasants, whose name was Nikita. In this case, the expression "Nikitkino village" is attached. During the years of the peasant uprising (1670) under the leadership of Stepan Razin, the Nikitin peasants did not stay away from active actions. The village was not spared by the events of the peasant war under the leadership of Yemelyan Pugachev (XVIII). In the 20s of the XIX century, serfs of a number of villages and villages of the Alatyr district express their dissatisfaction with their difficult situation. So, in 1824, unrest broke out in the village of Nikitino: the peasants refused to pay the rent to the local landowners. Dissatisfied peasants gathered in detachments, but were dispersed by military force. Events 1905-1907 the Simbirsk Territory, including the villages of the Alatyr Uyezd, was not spared either. The village was large, there were 700 households, 7 streets. The primary school was opened in the second half of the 60s of the XIX century with the help of the Simbirsk educator I.N. Ulyanov(Ilya Nikolaevich Ulyanov (1831, Astrakhan - 1886, Simbirsk) - statesman, teacher, supporter of universal education, equal for all nationalities. A full state councilor. Ilya Ulyanov was famous for his famous sons-revolutionaries - Alexander Ulyanov and Vladimir Ulyanov-Lenin.) ... Initially, the school was located in a wooden building not far from the church (it has not survived); in the late 1980s, a new two-story brick school building was built in the village. One of the first owners of the village was Count D.A. Guriev, whose name is the famous Guryev porridge(porridge made from semolina in milk with the addition of nuts (hazel, walnuts, almonds), kaymak (creamy foams), dried fruits. It is considered a traditional dish of Russian cuisine, but was invented only at the beginning of the 19th century. The name of the porridge comes from the name of Count Dmitry Guryev, Minister of Finance and a member of the State Council of the Russian Empire.It was invented by Zakhar Kuzmin, the serf chef of the retired major of the Orenburg Dragoon regiment Georgy Yurisovsky, with whom Guryev was staying. came up with a recipe for porridge, which was the favorite on the menu of Emperor Alexander III.)
Vypolzovo- a village in the Sursky district of the Ulyanovsk region as part of the Nikitinsky rural settlement, near the Barysh river. The village was founded in 1670 by the noblemen Utinsky on the lands received for the sovereign service. The former name of the village was earlier - Blagoveshchenskoe, located in the flood zone of the Barysh River. Every year, during the spring flood, the river heated the village. Residents, seeing the inconvenience of such an arrangement, began to build up higher plots, and gradually the houses seemed to "crawl" up the hill. It was then that the name of Vypolzovo was assigned to the village. Before the abolition of serfdom, the village was a landowner, it was famous for its woodworking, leather crafts, and also for the production of headdresses - felted hats. In Vypolzov, several landlord families stood out. The family of the landowner Krynin had their own pride. Two daughters - Sophia and Valentina - taught the children at school. After the revolution, a school and a bakery were opened in the Krynins' house. The Vasechkin family had large land shares, which were engaged in grain cultivation and cattle breeding. In 1893 a wooden church was built and a parish school was opened there. In 1905, a wave of peasant riots swept across Russia. In the village, the estates of the landowners Myatlev and Nikolaeva were destroyed. In 1913, there were 187 households and 1081 inhabitants in the village. In 1930 the collective farm "Krasny Kustar" was organized in the village.
Nod- a village in the Nikitinsky rural settlement of the Sursky district of the Ulyanovsk region of Russia. The village is located on the left bank of the Barysh River at the confluence of its left tributary - the Kivatka River. The center of the settlement - the village of Nikitino - is 5 kilometers away. Nodding appeared no later than the 17th century; it got its name from the Kivatka River. Kivatka comes from the Mordovian kev (stone) and vad (water) and corresponds to the Russian toponym "Kamenka" (a river with a rocky channel). Mentioned in documents of the 17th century as Kivatskaya or Kivatskaya Sloboda. According to the inventories of the steward Ivan Velyaminov, made in 1685-1687, in Kivati at that time there was a wooden church of the Most Pure Theotokos of Vladimir. In 1696, the service Cossacks were transferred with their families from the settlement to the city of Azov, and the settlement was given to the estate of the steward Fedor Fedorovich Pleshcheev, who settled in it 25 yards of his peasants, who were transferred from the village of Chebaryapa and the village of Cherlenova Alatyrsk district. In 1780, the settlement was transferred from Sinbirsky to Kotyakovsky district. In 1898, the village was listed in the Ust-Uren volost of the Korsun district; it had a school and a church. In 1918-1954, the village was the center of the Kivat village council, which several times moved from district to district. In 1954, the village council was merged with the Nikitinsky village council. In 2003 he was in the Vypolzovsky village council. In 2004 it was transferred to the Nikitinsky rural settlement.

During the administrative reform of Peter the Great in 1708, during the division of the lands of the future Russian Empire into provinces, the territory of the future Simbirsk province (in particular, the Simbirsk district) was included in the vast Kazan province (one of eight new provinces). In 1719, the Simbirsk district was removed from the Kazan province and included in the Astrakhan province, which was formed two years later. Under Anna Ioannovna in 1737, the Simbirsk province was formed as part of the Kazan province (with the administrative center in Simbirsk), which existed until the abolition of the division of provinces into provinces in 1775. In 1780, as a result of territorial transformations of Catherine II, the Kazan province was separated from Simbirsk viceroyalty of thirteen counties (Alatyr, Ardatovsky, Buinsky, etc.) ...

economic notes to the General Survey of the Simbirsk province
For Kurmyshsky uyezd, Simbirsk province, it should be noted that the EP (economic notes) are very thick with a detailed list of lands and rivers.
Under Paul the First in 1796, as a result of the reverse transformation of the Russian governorships in the provinces, the Simbirsk governorship was transformed into the province of the same name with the abolition of some of the districts of the former governorship (Kotyakovsky, Kanadeysky) and the consolidation of other districts at the expense of their lands (for example, at the expense of the lands of the Kotyakovsky district the districts of Karsunsky and Alatyrsky were enlarged), a total of ten counties. In 1797, in connection with the abolition of the Penza province, the former Penza districts Insarsky, Saransky (later enlarged at the expense of the lands of the former Kotyakovsky district) and Sheshkeevsky were transferred to the Simbirsk province. In 1798, the Ardatovsky, Sengileevsky (Singileevsky) and Sheshkeevsky districts were abolished within the boundaries of the Simbirsk province. Further changes in the boundaries and composition of the counties of the Simbirsk province took place during the reign of Alexander the First in 1801, when the Ardatovsky and Sengileevsky districts were restored and the Tagai district was abolished. In 1802, the Sheshkeevsky district was restored and, along with the Insarsky and Saransky districts previously belonging to the Penza province, was removed from the Simbirsk province and transferred to the newly formed Penza province. The last changes in the administrative boundaries of the Simbirsk province and the composition of its districts of the pre-revolutionary period refer to the reign of Nicholas the First, when in 1850 the Samara province was formed and the Trans-Volga districts of the Simbirsk province - Stavropol and Samara were transferred to it.

Abolished in 1928 during the economic division into districts of the USSR. On January 19, 1943, the Ulyanovsk region was formed on a part of the territory of the former Simbirsk province.
Population
According to the All-Russian census of the population of the Russian Empire in 1897, 1,549,461 people (749,801 men and 799,660 women) lived on the territory of the Simbirsk province. Of these, 109,175 people were urban.
Social and ethnic composition
According to the survey of the province in 1898, there were: hereditary nobles - 3439, personal - 2971, white clergy - 7551, monastics - 718 (104 men and 614 women), honorary citizens - 2789, merchants - 1969, burghers - 64 339, peasants - 1,190,749, regular troops - 2507, retired and indefinite lower ranks, their wives and daughters - 207,836, colonists - 563, foreigners - 106,476, foreign nationals - 208, people of other classes - 1681.

The Russians penetrated into the province when the Chuvash, Mordovians and Tatars already lived here.
Administrative structure
