Settlement History
The formation of the village began with the advent of Russian Old Believers. The Russian people who came settled in 2-3 families along the banks of the Bobrovka and Serebryanka rivers. According to the 1928 census, in the modern Ovchinnikovsky territory there were many villages: Ovchinnikovo, Proletarskoye, Lugovskoye, Naberezhny, Kosolapikha, in which there were about 500 people. Ovchinnikovo was considered the central village. It was a religious center - the Orthodox Church. Orthodox Russians came a little later in search of free land. Families were small, mostly consisting of 5 people. Literate householders were those who knew how to read. There were 25 such, 18 illiterate ones.
From the census of 1928, we can conclude that the village of Ovchinnikovo was prosperous: the middle peasants - 18, the kulaks - 14, the poor - 11.
Later, some small villages disappeared. Residents either moved to other villages, or were dispossessed and deported. And already in 1940 (census data of 1940), the disappearance of small villages and enlargement of such villages as Lugovskoye — 34 families, Voznesenky settlement — 37 families, Serebryanka — 11 families, Ovchinnikovo — 112 families. By the 1940s, the population was literate (the exception was 70-80-year-olds). Families were enlarged, and now the largest number of families totaled up to 8 people.
In the 1940s, the national composition of the population changed somewhat. The Chuvash lived along with the Russians. There were 18 families in which 99 people lived. Since 1941, there was a massive forced resettlement of Germans from the Volga region, namely from the Saratov region Wheat, but they are in the census of 1940–42. not logged in. Thus, the population from 1940–42. amounted to 1362 people. There were 672 men, 690 women.
The Great Patriotic War made its own adjustments. In the period from 1941 to 1942, 126 people went to the front. In the 1960s, due to the policy of strengthening the villages, such villages as Lugovskoye, Goryushino disappeared. Some residents moved to the village. Nalobihu, with. Kontoshino, Barnaul.
Currently, 308 people live in the village of Ovchinnikovo. Of these, 212 men, 184 women. It is very difficult to determine the national composition of the population, but nevertheless, purely German families were identified - 10, Chuvash - 7, mixed and Russian - 150.
The name of the village Ovchinnikovo and its origin
A secret is hidden in any place name. And the older the village, street or river, the deeper the mystery. We tried to find a clue in the history of our village.
The old-timers of the village told the following. At the place where the village was spread, the pine forest was noisy, rivers flowed, there were impassable swamps. Places are not suitable for living. By decision of the tsarist government, people who crossed the law and dissenters were exiled here.
The first exiles arrived in the second half of the 18th century, firmly established here. One of the exiles bore the name Ovchinnikov. Therefore, they believe that the village is called by his last name. And there is also a version that in the village there was a master in sheepskin dressing, hence the name of the village.
Our village entered the Verkh-Chumysh volost. From 1865 to 1882, 837 souls arrived in the volost from the Russian provinces and Siberian regions. Peasants came from central Russia in the hope of obtaining land, but there was a lot of land. In the village there were 25 yards, then gradually their number increases.
