Yanshikhovo-Norvashi

Yanshikhovo-Norvashi (Russian: Яншихово-Норваши; Chuvash: Енĕш Нăрваш) is a rural locality (a selo) in Yantikovsky District of the Chuvash Republic, Russia.

History

Based on the archival documents, it is known that the village of Yanshikhovo-Norvashi was founded in 1565 by three Chuvash people named Yanshikh, Akhmet, and Kibyat, who moved here from the village of Timyash (former name of Yantikovo). The village was named after Yanshikh (one of the founders), and the "Norvashi" part refers to the Norvashka River on which the village stands.

As the village grew, some of its residents moved out to found new villages in what is now Yalchiksky District.

In 1898, a church was built in the village, which was funded by the parishioners and Andrey Astrakhantsev—a merchant from Cheboksary. The first church priest was Nikolay Sidorov, who ran the church with the help of Fyodor Dyakov, a psalm reader who graduated from the rural school.

gollark: What would be nice is if they'd let me remote-learn a few days a week as the in-person stuff will be pretty limited anyway, except nobody seems to have thought of that or considered that it might be a good idea some people might like?
gollark: So my school has sent out its plans to keep people socially distant and whatnot while at school during the term (starting in a week and a half or so), and they seem like they should actually be pretty effective (apart from the bits about not sharing pencils etc. and wiping down tables a lot, as apparently surface transmission is overrated). They would *also*, though, make lots of school things extremely annoying.
gollark: Random, but sure, some of them are useful chemicals I guess.
gollark: Still, 12 hours of work a day sounds like a great way to have problems.
