The village is located at the pond and along the stream flowing from this pond (on the northwestern outskirts, not far from the remains of the Toropovsky forest), flowing along the Savakinsky Meadow beam [2] . This stream merges with another stream, which flows out of the Syrkov Yama beam (near the village of Preobrazhenskaya), forming the right tributary of the Ruda River near the tract Shusherovsky Lug at an altitude of 198 m.
The name "Sobakino" comes from the surname of the landowners - an old boyar family, one of whose representatives, Marfa Vasilyevna Sobakina, was the third wife of Ivan the Terrible [3] . In the XVIII century, the village belonged to Mikhail Grigorievich Sobakin (1720-1773), a senator and a poet who is considered the poet of the "school of Vasily Trediakovsky " because he used his tonic verse in versification [4] .
According to the revision tales of the landlord peasants and courtyard people of Oryol Uyezd in 1782, at the time of the third revision of 1763 there were patrimonies in the village of Arkhangelsk and the village of Rybnitsa of the "state foreign affairs of the office of the adviser Mikhail Grigoryev Sobakin (Sabakin)", in which there were a total of 418 serf souls of both sexes. [5]
After him, the village went to his native nephew, second lieutenant of the Life Guards of the Izmailovsky Regiment, Peter Alexandrovich Sobakin. In 1774, second lieutenant Pyotr Sobakin tried to sell it, about which an ad was placed in addition to the St. Petersburg Gazette: “Leibgvardi Izmailovsky regiment, second lieutenant Pyotr Sobakin is selling an immovable name: <...> in Orlovsky uzdz, in Tachukovsky village and village Rybnitsa, they have a male sex of 164 souls <...> wishing to buy, ask about price in St. Petersburg in the house of Admiral Praskovya Yakovlevna Mityaeva near Anichkova bridge from her butler Ivan Urlich, and in Moscow in the house of his Sobakin, standing in gorodѣ podlѣ pushechnago court minister at Dmitrïya Evreinov " [6] . Married Peter A. Sobakin was on Princess Martha Petrovna Golitsyna.
At the time of the general land survey, the village of Arkhangelskoye with the village of Rybnitsa, Oryol county, Orel province belonged to Tatyana Grigoryevna Sobakina (a girl in 1776/1780), who also owned vast estates in the Tula district of the Tula province. The village, according to the survey, was "on the left side of the two nameless ravines."
The son of P. A. Sobakin chamberlain Alexander Petrovich Sobakin was married to the Viscountess Elizabeth de Polignac. The marriage was childless and after his death in 1837 the estates in Arkhangelsk and Rybnitsa passed to Elizaveta Petrovna Sobakina, his native and unmarried sister. When she died by the mid-40s, this branch of the old noble family of Sobakins was cut short. [7]
Another name (Arkhangelsk) the village received the name of the church of St. Archangel Michael, which is listed in the list of Churches in the city of Orel and its county according to the statement of 1734 (Taychukova camp). According to the statement of 1755, “the village of Arkhangelsk in Sobakin. Church of st. Archangel Michael. Parish Courts 140 ” [8] . It was also called the Mikhailo-Arkhangelsk Church (Oryol Uyezd) [9] This church served as a parish for residents of neighboring villages, including residents of the village of Gorokhovo (now - Old Gorokhovo, Sverdlovsk District, Oryol Region [10] ), whose native was the writer Nikolai Leskov : “Arkhangelsk (Sobakino), a village, by the pond, 49 miles from Orel, 37 yards” [11] . It was in this church in 1831 that Leskov was baptized: “... Leskov was born on Wednesday, February 4, 1831 according to the old style, on the day of St. Nicholas the Confessor, Father Superior, in the village of Gorokhovo (aka Podlesnoe), in the parish of the village of Arkhangelskoye, it is Sobakino, Oryol county and province, in the estate of Mikhail Andreevich Strakhov ” [12] .
The Russian doctor and uncle Leskova Sergey Petrovich Alferyev (4 X 1816 - 31 III 1884) left such a synopsis of his biography, which mentions the church in Sobakin: “I period 1816-1826.
