Geographical position
The disappeared village of Volegovo in the Shali urban district of the Sverdlovsk Region is located at the mouth of the Volegovka River on the banks of the Chusovaya River [1] .
History
The village of Volegova was founded in 1701. The name of the village came from the Komi-Permyak name “Volga”, meaning “dexterous” or “cunning”. The village arose in 1701 thanks to the Stroganovs, who settled here several serf families. In 1709, the village of Volegova was attacked by the Bashkirs. The village was quite large, located on both banks of the Chusovaya River. On the left bank, it started right from the crest stone [2] .
In the spring of 1771, the house of a peasant was robbed by the robber Ryzhanko (Andrei Plotnikov), and the villagers were tortured and lashed for resistance [3] .
The village disappeared in 1967 due to the then liquidation of "unpromising" settlements . Now in the place of the village is a field [2] . In 1995, a livestock farm was built on the territory of the disappeared village, but was soon closed [1] .
Volegovsky Stones
In 1858, four barges crashed on Volegovsky stones, in 1861 - five barges. V. Lokhtin wrote in 1878 about this stone: "... thanks to the terrible speed of the water, the steepness of the turn and the narrowness of the channel, it should be ranked among one of the most dangerous stones, like the Robber and the Uzenky." To mitigate the impact in the event of a collision, swimming pools were installed here [2] .
Population
In 1869, there were 38 yards in the village of Volegova and 174 people lived [3] .
