Time Zone

In 1690, the steppe nomads ravaged the Russian Targan prison . The following year, they repeated the raid and ravaged the settlements of Utyatskaya, Kurtamyshskaya and Tsarevo settlement (now the city of Kurgan). Such raids prevented the strengthening of the settled population in the fertile steppes of Western Siberia. Therefore, the governors were forced to put forward a number of fortifications east of the current city of Kurgan. In Siberian history, these fortifications were called the Ishim Fortress Line. One of them was the Maximov Outpost (a fortified post, usually guarded by Cossacks). A team of Cossacks was deployed in it to monitor the inviolability of the border. To do this, they stuck pegs, and from above reinforced them with poles. The destruction of this barrier meant that the nomads burst in.

The outpost dates back to 1743, or a little earlier. And they were primarily served not by Cossacks, but by dragoons — regular troops, whose garrisons were located along border villages. As a result of the shift of the border line to the south, called Novoishimskaya, Morevskaya and Maksimovsky outposts, as advanced fortified points, they lost their role and military-defensive significance. Russian farmers, state peasants, came to the lands that became safe. At the place of outposts, villages and villages emerged, including the village of Vargashi .

According to the “Lists of Populated Places of the Tobolsk Province”, published in St. Petersburg in 1871, the official village of Vargashova “at Lake Maximovsky, 33 versts from the district” corresponds to the Maxim Forpost. It had 106 yards with a population of 590 people.
