Maydakovo

The origin of the toponym "Maydakovo" goes back centuries, and requires a separate study.

The existing local tradition that the name of the village came from the Tatar Khan Maidak - supposedly "whose stake was not far from the village many centuries ago" does not hold water, as the name Maidak is not shown among the Tatar names ^[3] .

According to the scientific version, the name of the village came from the personal name of the first settler of these places - a certain peasant, called Maydak , or from his family name - Maydakov , from whom the name came - the village of Maydakova . The existence of the Russian surname Maidakov is evidenced by lists of surnames on the Internet resources of the sites OBD-Memorial and Memory of the People, where this surname is shown, in particular in the Nizhny Novgorod and Vologda regions ^{[4] [5]} .

The date of the founding of "Maydakovo", as well as other details about its early history, are not available. It is reliably known that the rapid development of the village began in 1873 , when here - between the villages of Maidakovo and Teplovo, on the banks of the Lyulekh river - the merchant and entrepreneur I. S. Lepakhin founded the Sinkale Factory ^[6] .

Starting from 1727 - for two centuries - until 1929 , Maydakovo as part of the Bolotnovsky volost of the Yuryevets district of the Kostroma province of the Russian Empire .

According to the information of 1870-1872 published by the Central Statistical Committee of the Ministry of the Interior in 1877, “Kostroma Province, Yuryevets Uyezd, I stan, Maydakovo, village, at the Lyulekh River; from the county center 103 versts, from the flat 33 versts; the number of yards 83, the number of inhabitants: male - 276 people, female - 297 people. Chemical plants - 4, starch - 1, dyeing - 2 ” ^[7] .

In the Soviet period , after the new state administrative-territorial demarcation in the USSR - since 1935 with. Maydakovo as part of the Palekh district of the Ivanovo region of the RSFSR (since 1991 - the Russian Federation ).

The Peter and Paul Church in Maidakov was built of brick in 1906 , instead of the wooden Ilyinsky church that had been burning here since 1883 and was burned by a fire. The initiator of the construction of the new church was a graduate of the Kostroma Theological Seminary , people's teacher Pavel Yevlampievich Yunitsky , who was in charge of craft classes in the rural "public school" in Maydakov. The construction of the new church was carried out "on the donations of good-natured givers " , as well as on investments of wealthy merchants and breeders M. S. Lepakhin and N. M. Krasilshchikov ^[8] .

Under Soviet rule, from 1918-1938, the temple remained operational; the parish of the Peter and Paul Church included 4 nearby villages, parishioners had 748 husband. gender, 836 women gender.

In 1938 , by decision of the Soviet authorities, the church was closed. Bells sent for re-melting (“for the needs of the national economy”) were thrown from the temple. In it for two years - 1939-1941, the production workshops of the rural school of FZU were located , then in the period 1941-1946. there was a warehouse .. In the 1950s, attempts were made to completely disassemble the temple, but only the belfry and the dome above the altar were destroyed. For more than 60 years, the temple building was not used for its intended purpose, it was empty - as a result of which it became very dilapidated.

In 2004, church bells were cast and installed with raised funds from parishioners and other donations ; the dome of the temple was restored, partly the bell tower (except the tent), a temporary altar was made. The church has become operational again, since then a regular service is held in it ^{[9] [10]} .

In the village there is a fairly large industrial enterprise - LLC "Maidakovsky Plant" (now - a subsidiary of Podolsky OJSC "Singer"), which produces equipment and spare parts for the clothing industry. The company employs about 600 people. ^[eleven]

Earlier in the village there was a bakery and a dairy.
