My ancient village and young

"There were 400 yards in the village. In the center stood an Orthodox Church, whose parishioners were residents of Turgusun, Krestovka, Osinovka, Nikolsky. Lived Snegireva with dignity, thanks to the tireless peasant labor, relying on God, in harmony with the law and conscience."

That's what they say in historical documents.

This year marks the 320th anniversary of the village of Snegirevo. Residents of the district know what a wonderful village it was, and they are very sorry that now it is getting smaller every year.

And now the descendants of those Snegireva live by their labor. Stands firmly on his feet too "Snegirevskie", headed by Viktor Lita. The team in the farm is from local people, they have been working in the fields for 15 years, growing grain, and engaged in cattle breeding. People in Snegirevo are serious and hard-working, there is no time for any pampering. There was a Church in the village, now it is in the Museum of the regional center. This year, the former and current villagers are building a chapel for the entire village, and they are equipping a Playground. The village continues to live, and its residents make a worthy contribution to the development of agriculture in the Altai region.
