At the end of the 19th century, Mordovians (Mokshans) lived in the village. In 1903, Russian Old Believers settled in the village - immigrants from the western provinces of Russia ( Vilenskaya and Riga provinces). The Old Believers chose a remote place to live in order to preserve their cultural and religious traditions. The first settled Old Believers were three families: the Khokhlovs, Gnutovs and Ivanovs. Moksha gradually moved to other places, and the descendants of the Old Believers departed from the tenets of their faith. ^[3]
