The bottle

The village of Butka of the Talitsky urban district municipality is located 33 kilometers (35 km along the highway) south of the city of Talitsa , in the upper reaches along the banks of the Belyakovka River (the right tributary of the Pyshma River), at the mouth of the left tributary of the Makarikha River ^[2] .

Toponym

The village got its name from the Butka River. According to the local historian N. Rundqvist, the “ bottle ” went from the old Russian - “a separate small building”, “booth” ^[2] . Presumably, the first settler put up a separate building on the banks of the Belyakovka River. And the local historian Matveev A. K. suggests that the “bottle” is of Turkic origin and is associated with the Tatar-Bashkir bottle - porridge, which is also secondary, meaning “mess, confusion”, which can mean “lake mud” or “marsh nyasha. " According to another version, the first inhabitants in this marshy area were forced to “bottle” the swamp, that is, to fill it with stones and earth " ^{[4] [5]} .

In 1676, peasants of the Kuyarovskaya Sloboda Ivashka Silvanets and Tereshka Ivanov, who settled from Kazan places, submitted a petition to the Tobolsk governor - the boyars Pyotr Vasilyev Sheremetev and Ivan Streshnev. “The peasants asked to give them empty lands up the Belyakovka River, at the mouth of the Butka River so that they could build a settlement of sovereigns on those lands. The boyars were sent by service people to inspect the previously requested area. When it was reported that the area was free and not occupied by anyone, on November 1, 1676, by decree, Silvanets and Ivan were allowed to build a prison, set up a settlement and call in this settlement free walking people for cash rent. Each newly settled here was given the privilege of not having to pay dues from three to four years, and in the prison it was prescribed to keep 20 Cossacks for protection, giving them land instead of a salary. The management of the settlements was entrusted to the organizers Sylvints and Ivanov themselves, who were supposed to collect quitrents and keep records of the people who settled the settlement. Butkino settlement was allocated land along the rivers Ramylu, Butke, along the lakes Terenkul and Big Berkut. Sylvanets and Ivanov were given the right to endow the people who settled in the settlement with land of arable, mowing, and manor, and after grace years to collect from them dues and send to Tobolsk; he was also instructed to collect trade duties from goods brought into the settlement and was given a seal on which was cut: “customs seal of the Pyshminsky Butkinsky settlement”.
