S. Komyagino.

The village of Komyagino, Sergievo also, on the river. Skalbe was the ancestral estate of Ivan Akinfov. His son, steward Nikita Ivanovich Akinfov, in 1678 built the now existing stone church of St. Sergius of Radonezh with a warm stone refectory, in which the chapels of St. Macarius of Zheltovodsk and St. Gregory of Nazianzen were built.

The temple was consecrated in 1679.

Nikita Ivanovich had a son, Grigory, and a daughter, Anna, from his first marriage (she married Prince Grigory Dmitrievich Yusupov-Knyazhovo), and from his second marriage, with Aksinya Abramovna Lopukhina, a son, Kan-bar (Peter), was born. He was subsequently whipped and exiled to Siberia. He had a son, Nikolai.

In 1720, Nikita Ivanovich was under investigation in St. Petersburg, in the fortress. His estates were assigned to the sovereign.

In 1721, due to his great old age, he was sent to the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery for tonsure, and on the estates it was left to appoint as heir whomever he wanted. Nikita Ivanovich declared his grandson Nikolai Kanbarovich Akinfov as heir and on April 27 of the same year he entered the monastery, where he was soon tonsured with the monastic name Ioannikiy. Prince G.D. Yusupov claimed rights to half the village, as promised to N.I. Akinfov's daughters.

In 1725, the case was considered in the Senate. Three parts of the village were given to Anna Yusupova, the fourth was decided to remain in the possession of Irina Ivanovna Islenyeva, the widow of Fyodor Grigorievich (grandson of N.I. Akinfov).

In 1728, the case was reviewed following the request of Nikolai Akinfov and all of his grandfather’s villages were given to him. From Nikolai Petrovich (Kanbarovich) Akinfov, the village passed by deed of sale to Vasily Avraamovich Lopukhin (1711-1757), the son of the executed brother of Tsarina Evdokia Fedorovna, Abraham Fedorovich. V.A. Lopukhin was married to Countess Ekaterina Pavlovna, née Yaguzhinskaya (d. 1738). He was educated in the 1st Cadet Corps, under Empress Anna Ioannovna he fought with the Turks under the banner of Count Minich, and under Elizaveta Petrovna, with the rank of major general, he participated in the war with the Swedes.

In 1751 he was awarded the Order of St. Alexander Nevsky and was soon promoted to general-in-chief. During the Seven Years' War he was in the army of Count Apraksin; at the Battle of Gross-Jägersdorf he commanded the left wing of the army, which was crushed by the superior forces of the Prussians. The wounded general tried to stop the faltering Russians; during the retreat he was captured by the enemies, which forced the grenadiers to attack and repel the Prussians. He died the same day. Many songs were composed about the death of General Lopukhin, which soldiers sang back in the War of 1812.

In 1749, the village was purchased by Count Alexei Petrovich Bestuzhev-Ryumin (1695-1767). He received a good education in Copenhagen and Berlin; then, with permission, he entered the Hanoverian service, and from 1721 to 1740 he served as resident in Copenhagen. At this time, he provided important services to Empress Anna, stole the will of Catherine I from the Kiel archive and gained the trust of Biron, who promoted him to the cabinet ministers in order to counteract Osterman.

The fall of Biron also overthrew Bestuzhev; on January 17, 1741, he was sentenced to quartering, but the execution was replaced by exile to the village.

At the end of the same year, Osterman's enemies, Count Golovkin and Prince Trubetskoy, summoned Bestuzhev to St. Petersburg. The accession of Elisaveta Petrovna gave him the position of vice-chancellor.

Elevated to the dignity of a count of the Roman Empire in 1745, Bestuzhev was a champion of the “system of Peter the Great,” that is, an alliance with Austria, which at that time was fighting against France and Prussia. The Franco-Prussian party, which was strong during the accession of Elizabeth, with the Marquis of Chetardie at its head, used every effort to overthrow Bestuzhev. But the intrigues of the enemies failed; After the expulsion of Chetardie from Russia in 1744, he was appointed chancellor and in 1746 concluded an alliance treaty with Austria.

The new regrouping of powers, thanks to which England became an ally of Prussia, and France of Austria, raised the prestige of Bestuzhev as a far-sighted politician. His relations with Grand Duchess Ekaterina Alekseevna, whom he intended to give participation in government if her husband came to the throne, gave Bestuzhev’s enemies a reason to accuse him of a state crime.

In 1759, Bestuzhev was sentenced to death, but was pardoned and exiled to his Mozhaisk estate, p. Goretovo. Upon her accession, Catherine II immediately returned him from exile, restored his honor with a special manifesto, promoted him to field marshal general and always showed him great respect. But Bestuzhev no longer enjoyed influence and spent his last years out of work, amid family troubles caused by the “depraved and frantic life” of his son Andrei.

Count Bestuzhev-Ryumin was married to the daughter of the Russian resident in Hamburg, Anna Ivanovna (died December 15, 1761), except for his son Andrei (for dissolute behavior, at the request of his father, he was imprisoned in a monastery, died in 1768, without issue) and his son Peter, who died young, had no other children.

Alexei Petrovich died on April 10, 1767. Bestuzhev represents a gratifying phenomenon among diplomats of the 18th century, when venality was “introduced into law. He did not stain himself with any ... tangible evidence of the gracious disposition of foreign courts” and was a supporter of the alliance with Austria in sincere conviction that this union is necessary for Russia, and that, on the contrary, the strengthening of France and Prussia violates its state interests. Widely educated, interested in chemistry and medicine, he was at the same time a believer and in his exile he consoled himself with a selection of “sayings selected from the Holy Scriptures for the consolation of every innocent Christian who suffers.”

In the middle of the 19th century. the village was owned by P.M. Meshchaninov. His father Markel Demidovich, an eminent citizen, took over the wine trade in Moscow, and in 1781 left the merchants for military service. In 1792, he submitted a petition for elevation to the nobility (this right was given to him by the civil rank of court councilor, which corresponded to the military rank of lieutenant colonel according to the “Table of Ranks”), the charter of Empress Catherine II was approved in 1801 by Emperor Alexander I.

In 1890, the estate in Komyagino was owned by Semyon Vasilyevich Lepyoshkin (d. 1913), the son of Vasily Semyonovich and Varvara Yakovlevna Lepyoshkin, until the 1880s. who owned the Voznesensk manufactory. He was a highly educated man, studied abroad, completed his education in Dresden, held liberal views, sympathized with the revolutionaries and even provided them with financial support. A notable figure in the field of city government, he was a member of the Moscow City Duma for many years, edited its Izvestia, was one of the creators of the Handicraft Museum, and wrote an essay about the handicrafts of the North Caucasus.

Together with V.I. Orlov, he laid the foundations of zemstvo statistics. Semyon Vasilyevich was a member of the Moscow Law Society, on the council of the Commercial Academy of Sciences, in the Society for Benefiting Needy Students, was elected several times as a member of the Moscow City Duma, and was a comrade (deputy) of the city mayor.

In 1877, he bought a house on Filippovsky Lane with his own funds and set up a dormitory for students of Moscow University, providing its maintenance with appropriate capital. According to the charter, the hostel performed scientific, educational, educational and everyday functions.

At the beginning of 1881 its official opening took place. The hostel was designed for only 40 students, but it was a completely charitable institution, intended for poor students who lived here on full board.

S.V. Lepyoshkin died in 1913, bequeathing 200 thousand rubles to the university. “to maintain, in strict accordance with the charter of the committee, free apartments for the poorest of the most worthy students... and to provide them with nourishing and healthy food free of charge.”

From the estate in Komyagin, only a few trees in the park have survived to this day. The Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh was closed in the late 1920s, after the death of the last rector, Priest Vvedensky (his mother Alexandra Sergeevna worked as a teacher in the village, during the 1941-1945 war she gave her house near the church for a kindergarten, she herself lived on kitchen).

In 1955-1961 and in 1980. The facades of the temple were restored.

In 1991 it was returned to believers.

Near Komyagin, in Verkhniy Gribov, the stone chapel of Elijah the Prophet, closed and rebuilt as a dacha in Soviet times, has been preserved.

Photo and description

The stone Sergius Church in Komyagino was built in the 70s of the 17th century. More precisely, at that time the village had a different name - Sergievo. It was the estate of steward N.I. Akinfov.

In the 20th century, the building was given the status of a cultural heritage site of federal significance. The temple is recognized as one of the best monuments of ancient Russian architecture located in the Moscow region. The pillarless building is built of brick, crowned with five domes, and a hipped bell tower rises above it. Currently there is only one chapel in the church. Initially there were two of them, but the second chapel was dismantled in the 18th century. At the same time, the covered porch ceased to exist.

On one of the church walls (near the altar) the names of everyone who built the temple or donated funds for its construction are preserved. Clergymen still remember these names during liturgies.

At the end of the 20s of the 20th century, services in the church were stopped. The temple was looted, ancient icons were thrown into a ravine. In the middle of the 20th century, the church was restored. The restoration was led by L. A. David. The inspection report of the building, drawn up before the restoration, has been preserved to this day. According to this act, the floors of the church were torn up, the vaults were cracked, and the kokoshniks were destroyed.

After restoration, the building was destroyed again - this happened in the 70s of the 20th century. In the 80s, restoration work was again carried out in the temple, led by B. L. Altshuller.

Until the early 90s of the 20th century, the building housed a workshop where ceramics were made. Then the temple was handed over to the believers.

The other day I managed to visit a wonderful place near Moscow - the village of Komyagino, Pushkin district, on the Skalba river (a tributary of the Ucha river - a tributary of the Klyazma) - on the border with the Shchelkovsky district of the Moscow region. Our final goal was the stone miracle of the Moscow region - the Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh, built in 1678...

We got to it on foot from the Ivanteevka railway platform on the Moscow (Yaroslavsky Station)-Fryazino line. Our route lay along Trudovaya Street, then Shkolnaya (parallel to Novoselki-Slobodka Street) and, after crossing the street. Novoselki on Kolkhoznaya Street.

Continuing along Kolkhoznaya we left Ivanteevka...

We took several left turns to an abandoned military base...

Apparently, radar troops...

We passed the entrance to the territory of the MAMI pioneer camp "Flight"...

And then Komyagin’s buildings appeared in the distance...

With an interesting church of the 17th century.

I'll give it right away information for pilgrims and tourists. The temple is open 24 hours a day, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. At lunchtime from 13.00-14.00 the temple is cleaned, so it is not always possible to get into the main room, but the chapel is open.

Oddly enough, historical information about the village is usually limited to the history of the Sergius Church. Let's try to fill this omission.

I was able to establish that Komyagino was first mentioned in the List from the scribe book of 1584-1586 letters and measures of Timofey Khlopov and his comrades as wasteland of Konyaevo Bokhov camp of the Moscow district. The wasteland, together with the village of Pushkino on Ucha, belonged to the metropolitan lands from time immemorial - in those days, Metropolitan of Moscow and All Rus' Dionysius (d. 1587), under whom Ivan the Terrible died in 1584 and Feodor I Ioannovich, nicknamed the Blessed, was crowned king.

The origin of the name of the wasteland is beyond doubt. In December 1490, the year of his elevation to the metropolitan see, Metropolitan of All Rus' Zosima Bradaty (d. 1496) granted some of his “metropolitan beekeepers” lands and villages in the Bokhov and Radonezh camps. Among these beekeepers - leaders of large artels of collectors of valuable goods - honey and wax, we find the names of Andreika and Ivanka Konyaev: “Behold, Zosima, Metropolitan of All Rus', has granted the house church of the Holy Mother of God and his metropolitan beekeepers /.../ Andreyk Konyaev, and his brother Ivashka... the church lands of the Most Pure Mother of God and his metropolitan lands.” .

In those ancient times, this region was covered with dense primeval forest and it is known for certain that one of the most common trades was beekeeping, or, more precisely, beekeeping. We can find numerous settlements of beekeepers of the late 15th century in the neighboring Shchelkovsky district (for example, the village of Ignatieva-Zhizhneeva south of Shchelkovo, etc.).

It is known that the type of local land grant was a form of payment for the labor of metropolitan service people, similar to the “land salary” of the Grand Duke’s service people. The estate was given “up to the belly” and after the death of the owners it returned to the possession of the metropolitan. Everywhere in the Moscow region, lands received their names from the names of their owners. This is how Konyaevo appeared on the map, and later, having undergone a number of changes, it turned into Komyagino.

One has only to add that, according to the authoritative opinion of a number of researchers, it was Metropolitan Zosima who was the author of the concept of “Moscow-Third Rome”, set out in the preface to his work “Exposition of Paschal” compiled in 1492.

It is interesting that local legend records a different version of the origin of the toponym “Komyagino”, dating it back to the period before 1345 (year of foundation of the Trinity-Sergius Monastery). They say that there used to be two settlements here - one was called Sergievo, and the other was Komyagino. Sergius of Radonezh himself allegedly settled in the place of Sergiev, dug a dugout here on the slope of a ravine. Due to some conflict with the residents of Komyagino, which allegedly threw clods of earth at the saint (= Komyagino), St. Sergius moved from here to Radonezh, where he subsequently founded the Trinity-Sergius Monastery.

But let's return from this interesting legend to historical truth...

The stone church, illuminated in the name of Sergius of Radonezh in the village of Komyagino, was first mentioned in the census books of the Moscow district of Bokhov Stan for 1678 (7186). It is known for sure that the temple was built in 1678 and the following year, 1679, it was consecrated and subject to church tribute. The receipt book of the Patriarchal Order stated: "in the current 187 (1679) year of January 9th, by decree of the patriarch and according to the note on the extract of clerk Perfiliy Semennikov, a tribute was imposed on the newly built church of St. Sergius of Radonezh in the Moscow district, in Bokhov camp, which was the village of Sergeevo, and formerly the wasteland of Komyagino , on the river on Skalba, in the estate of the steward Nikita Ivanov, son of Akinfov" .

According to common practice, a settlement often changed its first name if a church was built in it. Interestingly, the above document indicates that the church was “newly built” in the village of Sergeev, which hints at the existence of a pre-stone - wooden church. In other words, the former wasteland received the name “Sergeevo” before the construction of the stone temple and its consecration in the name of Sergius of Radonezh. This circumstance can only indicate that before the construction of the stone temple, there was a wooden temple in its place, also consecrated to the same name.

This opinion is confirmed in documents of that time. Village Sergeevo (therefore, with the wooden temple of Sergius of Radonezh) was settled in 1646 by peasants transferred here from the estates of Nikita Ivanovich Akinfov - the village of Fomkina, Kostroma district, the village of Klobukova, Yuryevsky district, the village of Trekh-Prudok and the village of Terekhovets, Vologda district. The rural estate of the patrimonial estate was mentioned here in the same 1646.

Along with the construction of the stone temple, the village was also rebuilt. A separate estate with a church gradually merged with the village of Komyagino. In 1678, in the village there were 6 peasants (26 souls of both sexes) and 4 households of “bobyls” (hired seasonal workers or artisans) (23 bobyls). The following year, 1679, in the village of Sergievo-Komyagino there was a votchinnik’s own courtyard (the forerunner of the estate), a priest’s courtyard, already 11 courtyards of “young” serf peasants and 4 “bobylsky” courtyards. Let us add that serfs were divided into three groups - the best, the average and the “young” (low-power). Depending on this, taxes were distributed, which the peasants annually contributed to the treasury through their owner. It should be assumed that these “bobyls” were the builders of the stone temple.

Since at least 1646, the village belonged to the steward Nikita Ivanovich Akinfov. The document emphasized that the village was his “ancestral patrimony,” that is, inherited from his father, Ivan Fedorovich Akinfov (who owned the Komyagino wasteland until 1646).

Ivan Fedorovich Akinfov together with his older brother Arkhip (b. 1610, Krasnoyarsk voivode in 1629, died from 1640 to 1649) are mentioned as Moscow landowners since 1619. In 1623, the brothers are mentioned as the owners of the Altufyevo heathland near Moscow. The brothers are also mentioned in the Boyar Book of 1639. In 1643, Ivan Fedorovich Akinfov served as governor in the city of Shuya. In 1655, the steward and governor Ivan Fedorov, son of the Akinfs, was in Belgorod, where he held a review "children of boyars and all sorts of servicemen and tenants". In 1658, voivode Ivan Fedorovich Akinfov, together with voivode Vasily Grigorievich Romodanovsky, went on a military campaign near Azov against the Nogais of Kazyev ulus. According to some information, Ivan Akinfov later participated in one of the Russian embassies to Warsaw.

After the death of Ivan Fedorovich, his son Nikita, in addition to Sergievsky-Komyagin, also inherited Altufyevo, which at that time was already an estate with a manor house. Note that the Akinfovs' property Altufyevo became a village only 9 years after Komyagino - in 1687, when the Church of St. Sophia and her daughters Vera, Nadezhda and Lyubov was built at the estate, later reconsecrated in memory of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.

How in the period 1586-ca. In 1623, Komyagino passed from the metropolitan lands to the estate of the Akinfovs - we don’t know yet. Apparently here it is worth remembering the possible exchange of metropolitan lands for lands of the grand ducal house. But for now, this is the subject of a separate study.

Let us turn to the biography of the builder of the St. Sergius Church.

Nikita Ivanovich Akinfov(died no earlier than 1723) was widowed early. From his first marriage, Nikita Ivanovich had a son, Grigory, and a daughter, Anna Nikitichna (d. 1735), in her first marriage to Prince Ivan Semenovich Lvov. Having been widowed, at the end of 1694, Anna Nikitichna married Prince Grigory Dmitrievich Yusupov (1676-1730) - a “comrade of childhood fun” of young Peter I, - a participant in the Azov campaigns, the battles of Lesnaya and Poltava... and... the owner of the village Spasskoye-Kotovo, which I recently wrote about on the pages of my blog.

For his second marriage, Nikita Ivanovich Akinfov was married to Aksinya Abramovna Lopukhina- daughter of Abraham Fedorovich Lopukhin (executed in 1718) (brother of the first wife of Peter I, mother of the notorious Tsarevich Alexei, Evdokia Fedorovna Lopukhina (1669-1731)).

The son of Nikita Ivanovich, Grigory Nikitich Akinfov was mentioned in 1682year as a room stalland died in 1708 (apparently died).

After, in connection with the case of Tsarevich Alexei "for some disagreements and suspicions" Queen Evdokia was exiled to the Suzdal-Pokrovsky Monastery (1699) and tonsured under the name of Elena, the Lopukhinas and their relatives fell into royal disgrace. Among those who fell under suspicion was the owner of Sergievsky-Komyagin. In 1718 he was arrested...

According to the tax tales of 1719, Nikita Ivanovich’s estates and estates in different counties included 8,330 quarters of land and 3,622 serfs. Among his possessions, the village of Alekseishevo of the Bogolyubsky camp of the Vladimir district, the villages of Gorshkova, Esetrevo and the village of Staraya Sloboda of the Krivtsov camp of the Yuryev district are mentioned. In the Manatino and Bykov camps of the Moscow district, he owned the village of Vozdvizhenskoe (with 2 estates and a cattle farm, where 24 serfs lived. There were no peasant households in the village). In addition to the village of Sergievsky-Komyagin in Bokhov camp, Nikita Ivanovich owned the village of Tarasovka (Sm.).

The stucco icon of St. Sergius depicts the unspoken symbol of the temple, found by restorers on one of the carved white stone frames - the image of the All-Seeing Eye.

In 1720, Nikita Ivanovich was still in prison in St. Petersburg under investigation. In 1721, the prisoner was tonsured at the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery under the name Ioannikiy. Before the rite of tonsure, the disgraced Nikita Ivanovich had to appoint an heir to his estates.From Lopukhina he had his only son, Peter, nicknamed Kanbar (or Khabar), beaten with a whip and exiled to Siberia for the same Lopukhin case. The unfortunate Nikita Ivanovich appointed his son, his grandson, as the heir of his villages and hamlets. Nikolai Kanbarovich (Petrovich) Akinfov(died no later than 1755).

But Nikita Akinfov’s son-in-law, Grigory Dmitrievich Yusupov, soon challenged his father-in-law’s decision in favor of his wife Anna. Ioannikiy unexpectedly took the side of Grigory Yusupov himself. The case was considered in the Senate. The litigation between relatives dragged on until 1728, until it was finally resolved in favor of Nikolai Kanbarovich (Petrovich) Akinfov.

In order to avoid further possible litigation, the following year, 1729, Nikolai Akinfov sold the village of Sergievskoye-Komyaginoto the brother of his grandmother Aksinya Abramovna - Vasily Avramovich Lopukhin(1711-1757), who later fell in the battle of Gross-Jägersdorf.

20 years later, in 1749, Vasily Avramovich Lopukhin sold Sergievskoye-Komyagino to the vice-chancellor, Count Alexey Petrovich Bestuzhev-Ryumin (1693-1766). It should be noted that in the same 1749 A.P. Bestuzhev-Ryumin was granted the highest grant of the neighboring village of Obraztsovo, confiscated from Platon Ivanovich Musin-Pushkin(?-1768) in the case of A.P. Volynsky sentenced to language cutting and exile to Solovki.

In 1758, Alexey Petrovich was sentenced to death for his attempt deprive Peter IIIqueue for the throne and install a minor on itPavel Petrovich (future PavelII. The sentence was commutedexile to the village of Goretovo near Mozhaisk.Of course, during the reign of PeterIIIAlexei Petrovich had nothing to count on, but the accession of Empress Catherine in 1762IIagain returned awards, estates and titles to Bestuzhev-Ryumin.

Catherine II receives Count Bestuzhev-Ryumin upon his return from exile.

On August 31, 1762, by a solemnly promulgated decree, he was acquitted of the charges brought against him. A.P. Bestuzhev-Ryumin was awarded the rank of Field Marshal. However, he lost his former influence at court. The Empress sometimes turned to him for advice on foreign affairs. The count retained external primacy among the nobles, but all his attempts to imperiously intervene in major affairs met with decisive rebuff.According to one of his contemporaries, Bestuzhev-Ryumin was “with a vast, discerning mind, acquired long-term experience in state affairs, was extremely active and courageous; but at the same time proud, ambitious, cunning, sneaky, stingy, vindictive, ungrateful, intemperate in life. He was more feared than loved.".

How the red porch with the walkway has grown into the ground!

A year before his death, the count decided to allocate part of his possessions to his son.The village of Sergievskoye-Komyagino with 72 serfs of both sexes and the village of Obraztsovo came into the possession of his dissolute and “frantic” son Andrey Alekseevich Bestuzhev-Ryumin Jr. (1728-1768), who almost squandered “everything that was acquired by back-breaking labor” of his father.

According to the fair opinion of K.A. Pisarenko, « Bestuzhev Jr.’s career developed quite successfully solely thanks to the merits of his father. Both Elizaveta Petrovna and Catherine II bestowed ranks on the son of the Bestuzhev couple, meeting the requests of the head of the family. Even the first wedding of Andrei Alekseevich on February 22, 1747 with the young niece of A.G. Razumovsky, Avdotya Denisovna Razumovskaya, was by and large a political event. The marriage primarily contributed to strengthening the importance and position of Bestuzhev, the eldest at the Court. However, the newlyweds lived together for a little more than two years. On May 14, 1749, Andrei Bestuzhev’s wife died, and the young widower again went into all serious troubles. Neither the disgrace of his father in 1758, nor the death of his mother, Anna Ivanovna, nee Bettiger, in 1761 brought the rowdy boy to his senses. On the contrary, in Goretovo, out of boredom, he rampaged with even greater recklessness. It took the intervention of Elizaveta Petrovna, who threatened to take into custody her son, who endlessly bullied his parents.” Alexey Petrovich Bestuzhev-Ryumin spent the last few years of his life almost entirely on an unsuccessful struggle with the reckless and unbridled behavior of his own son Andrei. His father tried to calm him down with a second marriage to Princess Anna Petrovna Dolgorukova. The logical ending of the family drama came on August 31, 1765, when Bestuzhev-Ryumin Sr. notified his son in a letter that he no longer intended to live with him under the same roof, and decided to allocate part of his huge fortune to the young spouses.

Two years later, after the death of his father, in 1768 the “frantic” Andrei Alekseevich also died, and the villages of Obraztsovo and Sergievskoye-Komyaginopassed under the guardianship of the nephews of Count Alexei Petrovich - princes Mikhail and Alexei Nikitich Volkonsky, actual state councilor Yakov Ivanovich Sukin (1710-1778) and Prime Major Mikhail Fedorovich Mezhakov (1709-1783).

Subsequently, according to the division between the brothers, the village went to Alexei Nikitich Volkonsky. Alexey Nikitich Volkonsky was a major general and a deputy of the Moscow province in the commission for drawing up the Code of 1767. His wife was Margarita Rodionovna Kosheleva (d. 1790), with whom her husband was buried in the same tomb in the Pafnutii Monastery of Borovsky district. From her, Alexey Nikitich had three sons - Mikhail, Nikolai and Peter and two daughters: Anna (1762-1828) and Ekaterina (1754-1829), who married Alexey Ivanovich Musin-Pushkin, giving him a daughter Natalya Alekseevna (who married in 1811 for D.M. Volkonsky).

There is no doubt that Prince Alexei Nikitich often visited his exemplary Sergius estates, working on their arrangement. Proof of this is the petition of Prince Alexei to the Synodal Office dated May 4 (old century), 1772, published by N. Skvortsov. Prince Alexei Nikitich granted forgiveness “in which I imagined that in his patrimony of the Moscow district, the Radonezh tithe, the village of Obraztsovo, for more than forty years there has been a stone church built in the name of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary with two side chapels in the name of the Venerable Martha, mother of Simeon the Stylite, and the Venerable Euthymius of Suzdal, of which the first was consecrated in 1736, the second in 1738, only the real church has not been consecrated to this day, during the existence of the said village before its ownership by various owners, for which it was not ready, but is now ready for consecration; parishes at this church, according to confessional books of 1771, 66 households". In the same 1772, the Synodal Office issued permission to consecrate the church in Obraztsovo.

And here is the All-Seeing Eye itself.

After the death of Alexei NikitichApril 21 (old style) 1781the villages of Sergievskoye-Komyagino and Obraztsovo passedto his son the foreman Mikhail Alekseevich Volkonsky(d. c. 1794).According to the genealogical tables of the Volkonsky family compiled by E.G. Volkonskaya, managed to find out that he was married to Varvara Ivanovna Shipova (d. December 14, 1804 in Paris). From her M.A. Volkonsky had a son, Pavel, who apparently died in infancy.

Let's go around the anti-salt temple...

In 1800, the villages of Obraztsovo and Sergievskoye-Komyagino with the villages of Vasilyevskoye, Maltsevo, Naberezhnaya, Burkovo and Baybaki were purchased from the heirs of M.A. Volkonsky court adviser,Markell Demidovich Meshchaninov(1750 - 1813 or 1815 or 1824). In Obraztsovo he founded a wool weaving factory, and not far from Sergievsky-Komyagino he opened a factory for the production of writing paper.

From the previous point, looking up, we will see.

The same stationery production of the Meshchaninovs was located in the village of Novo-Demidovskoye, Kineshma district, Kostroma province (village Adishchevo), near Smolensk and Kaluga. The paper produced at the Meshchaninovs' stationery factories had filigree with the inscription "MECHTSCANINOV" in Latin letters. Samples of paper with such filigree, produced in 1811, 1813, 1814 and 1816, are kept in the State Historical Museum in Moscow.

We won’t see one beautiful view from the cemetery in winter. The entire cemetery near the church is covered in snow up to the knees.

In the spring of 1812, experiencing an acute shortage of workers at his paper mill in Sergievsky-Komyagin, Markel Demidovich decided to resettle here 362 souls of peasants he had bought in the Varnavinsky district of the Kostroma province from the landowner Volynsky. But the manufacturer encountered sharp resistance from the peasants at the first attempt to organize their resettlement. A second attempt dating back to 1813, just like the first, ended in failure.

Things were not calm in Sergievsky itself... In July 1812in the village of Sergievsky-Komyagin at the Meshchaninov paper mill, influenced by a rumor that soon all the serfs would be freedexcitement broke out. The news about him reached the Governor-General of Moscow, Fyodor Vasilyevich Rostopchin, who wrote in a letter to Balashev dated August 10 (July 26, old style) 1812: “In the Bogorodsky district there is a paper factory Meshchaninov. His clerk, having arrived drunk from Moscow, told them such nonsense that the men lost control for one day. But the police captain, court councilor Evreinov acted so well and promptly that everything came into obedience and for work; without disclosing, he whipped the clerk in the village and sent him to Moscow to a restraining house. I dare to reward this police officer and to encourage others to ask him for the Order of Vladimir, 4th degree.".

In the same 1812, from his Obraztsovo-Sergievsky possession M.D. Meshchaninov provided 38 warriors to the militia.

After the death of Markell Demidovich, his possessions passed into the hands of his sons, Alexandra(d. 1846) and Peter Markellovich- collegiate councilor, who remained the owner of these villages in 1860.

In the same 1852, in the village of Sergievskoye, Komyagino, there lived 104 male souls and 129 female souls. In addition to the church, there were 37 peasant households in the village. The Obraztsovskaya factory was sold by Pyotr Markellovich to manufacturer I.V. Alekseev. On the eve of the abolition of serfdom, in 1860, in the village of Sergievskoye with its villages, which still belonged to Pyotr Markellovich, there lived 466 peasants in 149 households.

We will tell you more about the factory in the summer, as we are planning an expedition to the place where this factory was located.

But the time has come to return to the Church of Sergius of Radonezh. The monument is distinguished not only by its slender proportions, but also by the rare perfection of its forms.

Continuing along Kolkhoznaya we left Ivanteevka...

We took several left turns to an abandoned military base...

Apparently, radar troops...

We passed the entrance to the territory of the MAMI pioneer camp "Flight"...

And then Komyagin’s buildings appeared in the distance...

With an interesting church of the 17th century.

Oddly enough, historical information about the village is usually limited to the history of the Sergius Church. Let's try to fill this omission.

But let's return from this interesting legend to historical truth...

Let us turn to the biography of the builder of the St. Sergius Church.

Nikita Ivanovich Akinfov(died no earlier than 1723) was widowed early. From his first marriage, Nikita Ivanovich had a son, Grigory, and a daughter, Anna Nikitichna (d. 1735), in her first marriage to Prince Ivan Semenovich Lvov. Having been widowed, at the end of 1694, Anna Nikitichna married Prince Grigory Dmitrievich Yusupov (1676-1730) - a “comrade of childhood fun” of young Peter I, a participant in the Azov campaigns, the battles of Lesnaya and Poltava... and... the owner.

The son of Nikita Ivanovich, Grigory Nikitich Akinfov was mentioned in 1682year as a room stalland died in 1708 (apparently died).

The stucco icon of St. Sergius depicts the unspoken symbol of the temple, found by restorers on one of the carved white stone frames - the image of the All-Seeing Eye.

How the red porch with the walkway has grown into the ground!

And here is the All-Seeing Eye itself.

Let's go around the anti-salt temple...

From the previous point, looking up, we will see.

We won’t see one beautiful view from the cemetery in winter. The entire cemetery near the church is covered in snow up to the knees.

But the time has come to return to the Church of Sergius of Radonezh. The monument is distinguished not only by its slender proportions, but also by the rare perfection of its forms.

The Church of St. Sergius of Radonezh in the village of Komyagino was built in 1678 during the reign of Theodore Alekseevich, on the estate of the steward Nikita Ivanovich Akinfov (the village was then called Sergievo). Nikita Ivanovich Akinfov was a prominent figure of Peter the Great's time. For resistance to the reforms of Peter I, he was exiled to the Kirillo-Beloezersky Monastery in 1721, and tonsured a monk with the name Ioannikios. This temple is one of the best monuments of ancient Russian architecture in the Moscow region. A brick, pillarless, five-domed temple, the quadrangle of which is completed with two tiers of kokoshniks, with a refectory, a western porch, a tent-roofed bell tower and a northern aisle of St. Macarius of Zheltovodsk and Unzhensk belongs to the type of townsman and patrimonial churches widespread in the 17th century. The entrance to the bell tower is made in the thickness of the walls. Initially, the second chapel of St. was adjacent to the refectory from the north. Gregory of Nyssa, and from the south - a covered porch, dismantled in the middle of the 18th century. The “torn” tiles that once decorated the northern aisle are almost completely lost. In the altar of the main temple, to the left of the altar, a carved white stone wall with the names of the builders and benefactors of the temple, who are commemorated at every Divine Liturgy, has been preserved. At the end of the 20s of our century the temple was closed. The interior decoration of the temple was completely lost. Only in 1955 - 1961 was the temple restored by the state. By 1980, a second restoration was carried out. As a result of all the restoration work, the temple was covered with copper, the domes were covered with a two-color wooden ploughshare. In the 80s, the temple premises housed a ceramics workshop. In 1991, the temple was transferred to the Church. The first service took place in 1992 on Christmas Day.
