The history of the formation of the Six Farm dates back to the distant and troubled 1920, when a civil war had just died out in the expanses of the North Caucasus, but agricultural communes had already begun to emerge in the villages (only in the Terek region , which at that time included the village of Yessentukskaya, there were about 70 )

However, in August of that 1920, an anti-Soviet uprising broke out in the Kuban, which received support in the Terek region. The participants in the uprising were counter-revolutionary Cossacks who fiercely hated Soviet power. One of their goals was the destruction of agricultural communes.

In June 1920, the Veshniy Ray agricultural community was established in Essentuki , and poor Cossacks and nonresident 10-12 families entered it.

The Goryachevodskaya commune named after Lenin, created a little earlier, allocated three cows, 40 sheep, 3 pairs of bulls, and some agricultural implements to the Essentuchans as patronage assistance. Veshniy Luch received the land allotment in Kirkily - 15 kilometers north of the city of Essentuki.

Communards settled in two large houses located in the Zapolotnyansky district of the city of Essentuki.

The Veshniy Ray agricultural community, organized by its first chairman Nikolai Stepanovich Chernikov, a local Cossack who returned from the Red Army, attracted the attention of counter-revolutionaries. They intimidated the chairman, tossed letters to him demanding to abandon the commune, because he himself is a Cossack, why did he go with the Reds ?!

The Communards decided to discuss the current situation at the next meeting, scheduled for February 12, 1921, but it became necessary to leave for the field: there was livestock feed at the end. Given the current situation, it was dangerous to leave, but the Communards decided to go.

On three sledges, Chairman Chernikov and the Communards Ivanov, Evdokimenko and Tsis set off for Kirkil. They almost completed work when about ten Cossacks in burkas left for a snowy field. Cossacks quickly surrounded the Communards; they did not even have time to use the rifles set aside during work. Blows of drafts one after another rained down on defenseless communards. Only the elderly Tsis was left alive, having ordered to go to Essentuki and tell everyone about what had happened, and to warn that if they did not leave the commune, they would suffer the same cruel reprisal.

Returning to Yessentuki late in the evening, Tsis told about what had happened and the next morning, policemen and communards Tsis and Tkachenko left on the sleigh for the death of the Communards. Having discovered the corpses of the murdered comrades, they loaded them in a sled and set off back. We drove up to the Kapelnaya beam to the Essentuki was a stone's throw, but it was here that a group of Communards was again attacked by the Cossacks. Leaving the chase, at a sharp bend, Tsis, Tkachenko, and policeman Trunkov were thrown out of the sleigh, whom the Cossacks did not spare ... the rest managed to escape from the pursuit.

Almost the entire population of the city came out on the last journey of the members of the Veshniy Ray community. Brass band. Fiery farewell speeches. Weapon fireworks. Communards were buried in the city of Essentuki in fraternal cemeteries.

A gang of Cossack bandits did not walk outside for long. In 1922, banditry in the foothills was over.

In the same year, five Communard families decided to settle on the Kirkil - this is how the village appeared (1922). After several years, there were more than a dozen houses in it. In 1925, at a public meeting in the Essentuksky district, a decision was made: to name the village in honor of the six Communards who died as a Six hamlet.

The farm grew rapidly. The peak of farm prosperity was in the late 1950s and 1960s.

By the fifties, a farm was opened on the farm, a kindergarten was organized, a club was built, a primary school was opened, a mill, a poultry farm worked, there was a stable, a forge, vegetable growing, beekeeping, viticulture, pear and apple orchards were developed.

An excerpt from the newspaper Kavkazskaya Zdravnitsa for October 11, 1964 “North of the Essentuki, about fifteen kilometers from the city, is a small collective farm village. Workers of the seventh integrated brigade of the Lenin agricultural cartel live in it. It would seem that what is special - there are few such settlements in the Stavropol Territory. And the inhabitants in it are like everywhere: they work well and live well. Almost every house has a TV, radio, motorcycle, and cars. ” ^[5]
