Pertovo (Nizhny Novgorod region)

In the annalistic news of the events of the fall of 1445 related to the return of the Grand Duke Vasily II Vasilyevich from the Tatar captivity, the village of Ivan Kiselev “between the Novgorod and Murom ” is mentioned. On the contrary (“against”, “against”) this village, the name of which is not given in the annals, the envoy of the Grand Duke Andrei Pleshcheyev , hurrying to the capital with the news of the emperor’s release, stopped on his way to Moscow . Since Vasily II sent Pleshcheyev to Moscow “with a second” two days after starting his journey from Kurmysh , it can be assumed that Pleshcheyev stopped on the right bank of the Oka River “against” a village located on the left bank.

The text (dated 16th century) of the undated record of Ivan the Terrible to Metropolitan Philip (1464-1473) about the lifelong holding of the "Metropolitan" wasteland of Pertovskaya "in Murom County on the river on Kutra " is preserved . In 1491/92, a similar letter to the same wasteland was given to Metropolitan Zosima by the son of Ivan Grigoryevich Yves. Gr. Kiselev. "Notified within a village at Pertovo retse Cutro (Cutro Large), right tributary of the Oka River, 38 miles north-east of Murom, on the left side of the post road from Murom in Nizhny Novgorod . Is located on the right bank Cutro Village Pertovo, 2 km from its mouth.

In the XV century the right bank of the Oka River was deserted. Service people were afraid to settle here, fearing Tatar raids. The vast majority of acts of the second half of the 15th century testify to the spread of feudal land ownership in the left-bank part of the Murom district. What explains the courage of I. G. Kiselyov, who undertook to explore the wasteland on the right bank by the “metropolis”? To begin with, let’s say that Ivan Kiselev annals and Yves. Gr. Kiselev records on the Pertovskaya deserts are one and the same person. In this case, the interest of I. G. Kiselev in the development of the Pertovskaya desert on the right bank of the Oka can be connected with the fact of the existence of a village on his left bank. Probably, the village was located near the river - otherwise it would hardly have served as a guideline for indicating in the annals the stopping place of Andrei Pleshcheev. It is possible that there was a ferry across the Oka River near the village (where until the 1990s there was a marina in the area of ​​the village of Aleksandrovo ), thanks which Ivan Kiselev was constantly connected with the right bank and sought to develop land there. In other words, the village could be opposite the Pertovskaya desert. Pertovo was most likely founded by Kiselev himself, and only the unfavorable conditions for owning it, the desolation of the land forced him to resort to the patronage of the metropolitan house, recognize the property of the latter on it and get it back as a precarius. By the way, a prerequisite for the conclusion of this transaction could be a victorious campaign of the Russian rati to Kazan in the spring of 1469, after which the right bank of the Oka became temporarily safer than in previous years ^[3] .

The village was first mentioned in salary books of 1676 as part of the Alexander Parish , it had 15 peasant yards and 1 Bobyl yard ^[4] .

In the late XIX - early XX centuries, the village was part of the Monakovsky volost of the Murom district of Vladimir province . In 1859 ^[5] there were 45 yards in the village, in 1926 ^[6] - 119 yards.

Since 1929, the village was the center of the Pertovsky village council of the Vachsky district of the Gorky region , since 1931 - as part of the Bolotnikovsky village council , since 1936 - as part of the Gorky region , since 1954 - as part of the Klinsky village council , and since 2009 - as part of the Filinsky village council .
