History

Appearance and Name

The village of Praylevka was the owner village and belonged to the noble family of Kochubei . The center of possessions Kochubeev in the Nizhny Novgorod province was the village of Novaya Sloboda . The richest landowners of Russia Kochubei themselves hardly visited their Nizhny Novgorod estates, and the estate was managed by proxies. In the 60s of the XIX century, the governor was a German by origin, Egor Ivanovich Prahl , by whose name the village was named. Prievka appeared no earlier than the 1840s , as it is not yet on the estate plan of 1827 , but it already appears on the plan of 1862 ^[2] .

Korolenko in Praylevka

During the famine of 1892 , the famous writer V. G. Korolenko visited the village of Plevlevka, among other villages of the Lukoyanovsk uyezd , providing charitable assistance to the starving population ^[3] .

The writer describes the village in his essays:

A small village spread out at the "top". Wide street or, rather, two orders of slope, leafless willows, among which the fatigued wind rustled, covered with snow huts with barely visible windows ... ^[4]

Pleylevka more than other neighboring villages suffered from hunger:

- Prayo ... yes, Pralevka really needs ...
- What can we say ... It should be worse, yes it is impossible.
- From the thin - bad little village.
- Distressed by a strong hand in Praylevka. We have a bad, and even with them, just say the most trouble.

I had to write such reviews in my notebook every time when, asking about the status of a particular village, I reached Plevlevka. Starting from the district chief and the camp and ending with the Dubrovka and the crimson men, who themselves are “from the bad to the thin” in the district, all were inferior to the palm of Prilevka ^[4] .

Thanks to Korolenko’s efforts, a “people's canteen” was opened in the village, captured by the Nizhny Novgorod photographer M. P. Dmitriev .
