Joinery

Taldom and Kimr handicraftsmen sewed a lot of shoes ^[3] for sale and urgently needed boxes for sending their goods. Demand generated supply. The need of the region for wooden containers was the cause of the carpentry center. They became Zaitsevsky volost, therefore, the main occupation of the villagers (then part of the Zaitsevsky volost) was the carpentry . But due to the great distance from the main centers of trade and the poor condition of roads in the first years of Soviet power, the carpentry industry began to be replaced by shoe industry. Craftsman Ivan Shumov from the village of Sorokino testified that it would be more profitable to carry 20-40 pairs of shoes and sell them on the market than to hire a cart to bring twenty boxes or five or six dressers into the market . Today, despite the fact that the condition of roads in the region is incomparable with the former, many of the above crafts are forgotten.

Flax growing

Yevgenia Sosenkova, the founder of the Taldom Historical and Literary Museum , conducted her ethnographic expedition to the region in 1927 and left memories of growing and processing flax in the Taldom village of Sorokino. Then in every peasant farm it was necessarily grown. Every year, women sat in villages ^[4] at the spinning wheel and at the weaving mill . They sold linen only in case of emergency, and they made clothes from the household that were inherited . In 2011, an exhibition was held at the museum, in the center of the exposition of which was the basis of the linen industry - the weaving mill brought to the museum from the village of Sorokino. Linen clothes were also presented - Russian sarafans, shirts, shirts, aprons, and traditional magpie hats for women.

In the village there was a house for several families, an example ^{[10] of} Taldomi wood carving art and wooden architecture in general. The platbands on the windows of the house were the embodiment of the “first” Taldom canon and were the most difficult ^[11] among all the analogues in other villages of the Taldom region. Around 2011, the building collapsed, and now the owner of the site has completely removed all reminders about this house, not even leaving the foundation.
