Fryazinovo (Vologda)

The name "Fryazinovo" is directly or indirectly associated with the nickname "Fryag", "mud" or "Fryazin", which was used to call Italians who arrived in Muscovy during the Renaissance. It is believed that “foreigners” generally called foreigners from Western Europe who could not speak Russian. Chapters erected churches and cathedrals, erected brick, powder, glass factories, poured cannons and bells, built fortresses. Teaching architectural art, icon painting, "muds" brought a lot of Renaissance to the culture of Muscovy. For service, the “muds” were granted by villages and estates. The surname of Fryazin was fixed to the descendants of the invited foreigners. ^[2]

According to the local historian N.V. Falin, the lands of the village of Fryazinovo belonged, as far back as the XIV century , most likely to Andrei Fryazin (according to a letter from Dmitry Donskoy to the governor of Pechora land). Here Andrei built a church in the name of his saint.

Uncle Andrei Fryazin - Matthew Fryazin, who in one epic recorded in the North, was named Matthew Petrovich and anachronistically ranked among the boyars at the court of Prince Vladimir of Kiev, the Red Sun, in fact, lived under Ivan Kalita and was governor of the Pechersk land. Under Pechery, what was meant was the territory of the former Ustyssolsky, Yarensky and Solvychegodsky districts, inhabited by Zyryans, which in turn made up part of Perm land. Thus, the Moscow Grand Dukes have long turned their attention to the rich regions of the north and had their possessions and obviously crafts there. Since Matthew Fryazin was in the epic, he was probably a popular face among the population of the north. The continuous waterway from Vologda could be of great convenience for the Pechersk governor and it is natural to assume that in Vologda he had a base and a marina for his ships, and it was in Fryazinov, whose name came from his nickname. ^[3]

In 1529, these lands belonged to Ivan Fryazin. At the beginning of the XVII century , it was in 1615, according to the “book of sentinel Vologda and Vologda districts in the year 123”, the village of Fryazinovo belonged to the Tsar and was not granted to anyone. It had two churches of St. Andrew the First-Called and Ivan the Baptist. The last church burned down, apparently in 1612 during the Lithuanian ruin and in 1615 a new church was put on a “burnt place”. In the village there were 3 yards of churchmen, 9 yards of plowed peasants, 23 yards of Bobyl, and only 35 yards in the church fence or, as they used to say, “at the monastery” 5 cells, in which were living “poor old women and widows” who were fed from the church of God

In 1617, the village of Fryazinovo, together with the villages and wastelands assigned to it, was granted "on the estate" to the stolniki boyars Boris and Gleb Ivanovich Morozov, whose trustee Joseph Brilkin, the clerk, lived in the village of Khorhorino. Despite the past two years, some changes have taken place in the village: there were still 3 churchyard courtyards in it, but the peasant households were neglected because the peasants living in them "descended from grain shortage in 124." The Bobyl Yards were considered 27. There were 10 beleys of beggars. Behind the village were 2 quarters of the plowed arable land, and overgrown with forests and overgrown in all three fields were 25 chetyre. Earth was considered good. Sen Fryazinovo set 80 kopecks. In total, the Morozov boyars included in this locality “a village and seven living villages, five wastelands, and in them (not counting the clergy’s yards) there was a court of clerks, and eighteen peasant households and thirty-seven Bobyl households”. ^[4] .

To the village of Fryazinovo “pulled” the area under the general name “seven-village”, where the villages were located: Khorhorino, Dyakonovo, Barankovo, Tepenkino, Doronino, Zhelutkino and Andryushkin repair. There were 5 wastelands here: Krutets, Dolgoe, Pogar, Dorki, Popadino. Currently, Fryazinovo and many of these villages and wastelands have entered the city limits. ^[5] .

In 1791 the following people lived in the village: clergy - 26 people, clerks (officials) - 27 people with families, of which only one family belonged to the nobility, the military department - 5 families, mostly retired soldiers, merchants and philistines - 250 people , domestic - 13 people, peasants living in the city - 30 people (11 households).

In 1794 there were 9 merchants 'yards, and 64 people lived in them, and in 1880 - 16 merchants' surnames. Among the merchants' surnames Fryazinovo is the Vologda surname Ledentsovs. The father of Christopher Semenovich, a merchant of the first guild, Semen Alekseevich Ledentsov, had a fur store on Fryazinovskaya embankment, was engaged in the transportation of goods along the rivers Vologda and Sukhon. He made considerable donations to the parish church. Among the depositors, there are many other well-known Vologda merchants: the Vedeneevs, Popov-Vvedensky, Shapkins, Rybnikovs, Schuchkins and others.

The village was located near Gorky Street. Later, the village of Fryazinovo was annexed to the city and became Solnechnaya Street. ^[6] . At the moment, there is only one wooden residential building on Solnechnaya Street.

From the former village of Fryazinovo comes the name of the modern Fryazinovskaya street and Fryazinovo microdistrict .
