History

The first settlement on the site of the city was given to Uraza Tankacheev in 1631 by Russian king Michael Fedorovich for faithful service . The Tatar princes and murzas were owners of Ruzaevka (up to 1715). For refusing to accept the Christian faith these lands and serfs peasants were bequeathed to the great Emperor”

In 1725 the land and peasants were given to the Lieutenant Tikhon Lukin, who owned it for more than 30 years, and then went bankrupt and in 1757 sold it to the court Councilor Jeremiah Struysky.

For the half year was built three-storey house-Palace. Nikolay Eremeevich lived there and wrote poetries, the third floor of his house was called "Parnassus". In 1783 he created in Ruzayevka private printing, in which worked peasants, that were trained to print in printing the Samara and Nizhny Novgorod. This printing was one of the best of its time, the printing house published mainly poems of Nikolay Eremeevich. These publications are extremely rare and they are of great bibliographic value.
