Russians fleeing the "obscene" villages Bashny.Net

The Russians, who are not lucky enough to be born in the settlements with obscene, or just plain ugly names often run low motherland in a more "decent" place. Dissonant name of the village or street causes low self-esteem among residents and creates complexes indicate psychologists. However, because of gaps in the legislation and bureaucratic obstacles to rename or Lohovo Blyadischevo extremely difficult, complains the newspaper "Novye Izvestia».

The first attempt to remove the name from the map indecent taken even the Bolsheviks. Under Soviet rule, the village was renamed Ibakova in Mordovia in the mountains, near Moscow Pozdyutki - In Rainbows, Polish Suchkino in the Nizhny Novgorod region - in Lipovka and Smolensk Herovku - Red pier.

However, in settlements with caricatures or obscene names and today there are hundreds of thousands of Russians. In the suburbs are still standing sat Buhlovka, Pyankino Blyadischevo and, in the Tver region - large and small suckers Goats and scrotum, in the Kaluga region - the cheap, and in the Kemerovo - Kozijavkin and old worms.

Only in the central part of Russia, more than 120 settlements with the cacophonous names, explains deputy dean of the Faculty of History, Moscow State University Alexei Vlasov: "Sometimes it is the nickname given by the brilliant personality, and sometimes from neighboring villages so to settle scores with each other».

Be that as it may, the local is often not satisfied with derogatory names. For example, villagers Lohovo in the Irkutsk region for several years trying to rename it in the Siberian. Especially active for the new name appears Lokhovsky youth. Young people did not stop even the fact that the village is home to great granddaughter of the founder of the village Valentine Lohova.

Selah Durykino in Solnechnogorsk district of Moscow region gave the name of Peter I. According to legend, the king ordered raw eggs as a binding material for the construction of the walls, and the villagers cooked eggs. Who Durykino empty streets. "There is almost no one" - says 84-year-old local resident, a veteran of the Great Patriotic War Anatoly Bondarev. In addition to his village lives only an old woman, and the rest of the house bought vacationers.

However, Durykino - not the worst name. In Ulyanovsk region has Musorka village in Perm - Dude, Chelyabinsk - Golodrankino in Tambov - go away, in the Belgorod - Muhodoevo in Vologda - Big buhalovo. "I have been to places not only funny, but also with obscene names. For example, the village Piskino Ivanovo region ", - says the professor of the Institute of Geography of the RAS Boris Kochurov.

Folk wisdom that "as you call a boat, so it will float" refers to the geographical names, says the head of the Center for Psychological and Social Medicine Yevgeny Shaposhnikov. According to him, the emotional and behavioral status of a person is directly linked with the name of the place in which the person lives.

"People who live in the village or Popkin Durakovskoy street will subconsciously feel a deep sense of discomfort. This is especially evident during adolescence, when everything has to work, and the outer frame of life is very important, "- says the psychologist.

Not everyone, however, agrees that settlements should be renamed. Most of the names were given in the XVI-XVII centuries, when "our ancestors sought to euphony," explains the teacher of historical faculty of MSU Dmitri Volodikhin. "To Human Settlements, as a person, what nickname knit, this remained" - indicates Volodikhin. According to him, change such names - "hypocrisy" because "they visible national psychology».

About the possibility of changing the name because of its dissonant in the law "On names of geographical objects" is not a word. However, renaming the initiative of the residents is possible if they do not like the former name indicates lawyer Georgy Zubov. To this end, the local legislature must adopt the normative act, and then submit it to a referendum.

"Renaming - long procedure. We have to make changes to all addresses, maps, directories, change the signs on the houses. Legal persons in the renamed location should change the print "- warns lawyer Zubov. Note also that any name change is costly to the treasury. For example, the return of the historic name of Kirov Vyatka (it offers the governor Nikita Belykh) will cost at least 6, 5 million rubles, estimated recently financiers.

In addition, after the renaming of the residents have to change residence, and at its own expense, says human rights activist Alexander pans. "Our government will find any problems create, - he said. - It will be said to change the certificate of ownership of the apartment in connection with the change of address. Or make a new cadastral plan at a different address. And have problems with the introduction of a legacy. " People, it is easier to leave this village than to seek a change of its name, considers Skovorodko.

However, red tape stops is not all. According to Deputy Dean of the History Faculty of Moscow State University Alexei Vlasov, a dissonant quarter due to complaints about the renaming. Recently, for example, residents of the village of Sodom in the Saratov region have to be renamed Big Sodom. People have decided that the village should be released because of it far exceeds the number of neighbors.
