[edit] A little about Buturlinovka

Buturlinovka is a regional center in the middle of the Voronezh region of Russia, located on the Osered River, a left tributary of the Don, 175 km southeast of Voronezh.

The Buturlin family, as always, spent the summer season of 1812 on the Belkino estate. The war found them here. Napoleon was eager to reach Moscow. When the distant roar of battle began to be heard, the family moved their Voronezh estate - Buturlinovka.

After the death of Dmitry Petrovich, members of the Buturlin family divided among themselves the real estate that remained in Russia. The owners decided to have one manager for all three inherited shares. The choice fell on Ivan Antonovich Kavetsky. Retired lieutenant I.A. Kavetsky worked as a manager in Buturlinovka since 1815.

4 kilometers south of the city is the Buturlinovka military airfield, where an attack air regiment with Su-25 aircraft is based.

An excerpt characterizing Buturlinovka

It was not difficult to say “tomorrow” and maintain a tone of decency; but to come home alone, to see your sisters, brother, mother, father, to confess and ask for money to which you have no right after your word of honor was given. We weren't sleeping at home yet. The youth of the Rostov house, having returned from the theater, having had dinner, sat at the clavichord. As soon as Nikolai entered the hall, he was overwhelmed by that loving, poetic atmosphere that reigned in their house that winter and which now, after Dolokhov’s proposal and Iogel’s ball, seemed to thicken even more, like the air before a thunderstorm, over Sonya and Natasha. Sonya and Natasha, in the blue dresses they wore at the theater, pretty and knowing it, happy, smiling, stood at the clavichord. Vera and Shinshin were playing chess in the living room. The old countess, waiting for her son and husband, was playing solitaire with an old noblewoman who lived in their house. Denisov, with shining eyes and tousled hair, sat with his leg thrown back at the clavichord, clapping them with his short fingers, striking chords, and rolling his eyes, in his small, hoarse, but faithful voice, sang the poem he had composed, “The Sorceress,” to which he was trying to find music. Sorceress, tell me what force draws me to the abandoned strings; What fire did you plant in your heart, what delight spread through your fingers! He sang in a passionate voice, shining at the frightened and happy Natasha with his agate, black eyes. - Wonderful! Great! – Natasha shouted. “Another verse,” she said, not noticing Nikolai. “They have everything the same,” thought Nikolai, looking into the living room, where he saw Vera and his mother with the old woman. - A! Here comes Nikolenka! – Natasha ran up to him. - Is daddy at home? - he asked. – I’m so glad you came! – Natasha said without answering, “we’re having so much fun.” Vasily Dmitrich remains for me one more day, you know? “No, dad hasn’t come yet,” said Sonya. - Coco, you have arrived, come to me, my friend! - said the countess's voice from the living room. Nikolai approached his mother, kissed her hand and, silently sitting down at her table, began to look at her hands, laying out the cards. Laughter and cheerful voices were still heard from the hall, persuading Natasha. “Well, okay, okay,” Denisov shouted, “now there’s no point in making excuses, barcarolla is behind you, I beg you.” The Countess looked back at her silent son. - What happened to you? – Nikolai’s mother asked. “Oh, nothing,” he said, as if he was already tired of this same question. - Will daddy arrive soon? - I think. “Everything is the same for them. They don't know anything! Where should I go?” thought Nikolai and went back to the hall where the clavichord stood. Sonya sat at the clavichord and played the prelude of the barcarolle that Denisov especially loved. Natasha was going to sing. Denisov looked at her with delighted eyes. Nikolai began to walk back and forth around the room. “And now you want to make her sing? – what can she sing? And there’s nothing fun here,” thought Nikolai. Sonya struck the first chord of the prelude. “My God, I am lost, I am a dishonest person. A bullet in the forehead, the only thing left to do is not sing, he thought. Leave? but where? anyway, let them sing!” Nikolai gloomily, continuing to walk around the room, glanced at Denisov and the girls, avoiding their gaze. “Nikolenka, what’s wrong with you?” – asked Sonya’s gaze fixed on him. She immediately saw that something had happened to him. Nikolai turned away from her. Natasha, with her sensitivity, also instantly noticed her brother’s condition. She noticed him, but she herself was so happy at that moment, she was so far from grief, sadness, reproaches, that she (as often happens with young people) deliberately deceived herself. No, I’m having too much fun now to spoil my fun by sympathizing with someone else’s grief, she felt, and said to herself: “No, I’m definitely mistaken, he should be as cheerful as I am.” Well, Sonya,” she said and went out to the very middle of the hall, where, in her opinion, the resonance was best. Raising her head, lowering her lifelessly hanging hands, as dancers do, Natasha, energetically shifting from heel to tiptoe, walked through the middle of the room and stopped. "Here I am!" as if she was speaking in response to the enthusiastic gaze of Denisov, who was watching her. “And why is she happy! - Nikolai thought, looking at his sister. And how isn’t she bored and ashamed!” Natasha hit the first note, her throat expanded, her chest straightened, her eyes took on a serious expression. She was not thinking about anyone or anything at that moment, and sounds flowed from her folded mouth into a smile, those sounds that anyone can make at the same intervals and at the same intervals, but which a thousand times leave you cold, in the thousand and first times they make you shudder and cry. This winter Natasha began to sing seriously for the first time, especially because Denisov admired her singing. She no longer sang like a child, there was no longer in her singing that comic, childish diligence that was in her before; but she still did not sing well, as all the expert judges who listened to her said. “Not processed, but a wonderful voice, it needs to be processed,” everyone said. But they usually said this long after her voice had fallen silent. At the same time, when this raw voice sounded with irregular aspirations and with efforts of transitions, even the expert judges did not say anything, and only enjoyed this raw voice and only wanted to hear it again. In her voice there was that virginal pristineness, that ignorance of her own strengths and that still unprocessed velvet, which were so combined with the shortcomings of the art of singing that it seemed impossible to change anything in this voice without spoiling it. “What is this? - Nikolai thought, hearing her voice and opening his eyes wide. -What happened to her? How does she sing these days? - he thought. And suddenly the whole world focused for him, waiting for the next note, the next phrase, and everything in the world became divided into three tempos: “Oh mio crudele affetto... [Oh my cruel love...] One, two, three... one, two... three... one... Oh mio crudele affetto... One, two, three... one. Eh, our life is stupid! - Nikolai thought. All this, and misfortune, and money, and Dolokhov, and anger, and honor - all this is nonsense... but here it is real... Hey, Natasha, well, my dear! Well, mother!... how will she take this si? I took it! God bless!" - and he, without noticing that he was singing, in order to strengthen this si, took the second to the third of a high note. "My God! how good! Did I really take it? how happy!” he thought. ABOUT! how this third trembled, and how something better that was in Rostov’s soul was touched. And this was something independent of everything in the world, and above everything in the world. What kind of losses are there, and the Dolokhovs, and honestly!... It’s all nonsense! You can kill, steal and still be happy... For a long time Rostov has not experienced such pleasure from music as on this day. But as soon as Natasha finished her barcarolle, reality came back to him again. He left without saying anything and went downstairs to his room. A quarter of an hour later the old count, cheerful and satisfied, arrived from the club. Nikolai, hearing his arrival, went to him. - Well, did you have fun? - said Ilya Andreich, smiling joyfully and proudly at his son. Nikolai wanted to say “yes,” but he couldn’t: he almost burst into tears. The Count was lighting his pipe and did not notice his son’s condition. “Oh, inevitably!” - Nikolai thought for the first and last time. And suddenly, in the most casual tone, such that he seemed disgusted to himself, as if he was asking the carriage to go to the city, he told his father. - Dad, I came to you for business. I forgot about it. I need money. “That’s it,” said the father, who was in a particularly cheerful spirit. - I told you that it won’t be enough. Is it a lot? “A lot,” Nikolai said, blushing and with a stupid, careless smile, which for a long time later he could not forgive himself. – I lost a little, that is, a lot, even a lot, 43 thousand. - What? Who?... You're kidding! - shouted the count, suddenly turning apoplectic red in the neck and back of his head, like old people blush. “I promised to pay tomorrow,” said Nikolai. “Well!...” said the old count, spreading his arms and sank helplessly onto the sofa. - What to do! Who hasn't this happened to? - said the son in a cheeky, bold tone, while in his soul he considered himself a scoundrel, a scoundrel who could not atone for his crime with his whole life. He would have liked to kiss his father's hands, on his knees to ask for his forgiveness, but he said in a careless and even rude tone that this happens to everyone. Count Ilya Andreich lowered his eyes when he heard these words from his son and hurried, looking for something. “Yes, yes,” he said, “it’s difficult, I’m afraid, it’s difficult to get... never happened to anyone!” yes, who hasn’t happened to... - And the count glanced briefly into his son’s face and walked out of the room... Nikolai was preparing to fight back, but he never expected this. - Daddy! pa... hemp! - he shouted after him, sobbing; excuse me! “And, grabbing his father’s hand, he pressed his lips to it and began to cry. While the father was explaining to his son, an equally important explanation was taking place between the mother and daughter. Natasha ran to her mother excitedly. - Mom!... Mom!... he did it to me... - What did he do? - I did, I proposed. Mother! Mother! - she shouted. The Countess could not believe her ears. Denisov proposed. To whom? This tiny girl Natasha, who had recently been playing with dolls and was now taking lessons. - Natasha, that’s complete nonsense! – she said, still hoping that it was a joke. - Well, that's nonsense! “I’m telling you the truth,” Natasha said angrily. – I came to ask what to do, and you tell me: “nonsense”... The Countess shrugged. “If it’s true that Monsieur Denisov proposed to you, then tell him that he’s a fool, that’s all.” “No, he’s not a fool,” Natasha said offendedly and seriously. - Well, what do you want? You are all in love these days. Well, you’re in love, so marry him! – the countess said, laughing angrily. - With God blessing! - No, mom, I’m not in love with him, I must not be in love with him. - Well, tell him so. - Mom, are you angry? You’re not angry, my dear, what’s my fault?

Sights of the city of Buturlinovka (Voronezh region)

Buturlinovka is a small town in the center of the Voronezh region, the center of the Buturlinovsky district. It is located away from major highways, such as the M-4 Don, and therefore is little known and not popular among people. Even when talking about my plans to visit Buturlinovka to other tourists, I constantly heard the question: “Where is this anyway?” The situation with residents of the Voronezh region is also similar; they heard that there is such a city, but they didn’t know where exactly it was located.

There are, of course, attractions here that I will definitely visit sometime in the summer. But for me this city has been known for a long time and is of interest for another reason: my relatives on my mother’s side live here. At the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century, the Ryasnyansky family lived just east of Buturlinovka, in the village of Patokino. But during dispossession, avoiding exile to Siberia, most of them moved to Buturlinovka.

We used to often come here with the whole family by car or by train. It also happened that one summer my brother and I lived here with our grandmother. Then we began to travel less often and my parents themselves came here with our children.

From my early memories of Buturlinovka I remember that there were no large bodies of water for swimming. And after Ufa, which is surrounded by rivers and lakes, it was unusual and difficult from the heat. Occasionally we were taken as children to small ponds. In the city itself I remember a market, a Soviet-style department store, a cinema or a recreation center - there I watched a very boring film “Grey Wolves”. I also remember the general impoverishment in the 90s, production was all closed, people were unemployed. There was no such scale in Ufa. I also remember how there was no gasoline in Buturlinovka and my father could not refuel the car. I saw this again only in 2015, when I passed the village of Ust-Nera in Kolyma.

Now my whole family reached my relatives on December 31 at 15-00. It was interesting to see how life in this city has changed.

The first people we met were my cousin Valya and her husband Slava. Previously, when we came to Buturlinovka, we most often stayed with them. This time we also stayed with these hospitable relatives.

While we were talking and eating, Santa Claus came to us - a marathon runner, albeit with only one ski. He talked to everyone, gave gifts and congratulated them on the upcoming New Year.

After that, we went to bed, because we were tired from the trip, and we still had to celebrate the New Year. Later we celebrated the New Year with Aunt Valya and Uncle Slava, although the children did not wake up and slept until the morning.

On January 1, in the morning, we walked to another relative of my cousin Anya and her son Stas. She very interestingly told the details of the lives of various common relatives. After which we went with her to the graves of deceased relatives, including my great-grandmother Agafya.

In the evening, my cousin Seryozha and his daughter Ulyana came. Everyone sat together and talked. And then we went with the children for a walk to the center of Buturlinovka - Volya Square. There, as in the entire Voronezh region, there was little snow. There is a New Year tree in the middle of the square.

There are many administrative buildings of Buturlinovka and historical and architectural monuments around Volya Square. But at night they were all hard to see, so we decided to come here again, but the next morning.

While driving to the square, we noticed a monument to Lenin, it is located at the intersection of Karl Marx and Lenin streets.

Near the square there is the Cathedral in honor of the Transfiguration of the Lord, its other name is the Buturlinovsky Transfiguration Cathedral. It was built at the end of the nineteenth century. The red brick building with a three-tier bell tower immediately catches your eye. By the way, there is a striking clock on top of the bell tower. The history of this temple is generally typical for Russia. In the 1930s, the Cathedral in honor of the Transfiguration of the Lord was closed, then tanks were repaired there. Later they began to use the temple premises as a warehouse. Next - restoration and the temple is working again.

Opposite the Buturlinovsky Transfiguration Cathedral, next to the October House of Culture, there is a monument to Alexander II. The monument is new, it is only two years old, installed in 2014. This event was timed to coincide with the centenary of the installation of a similar monument, but demolished during Soviet times.
