Krasnoarmeiski ( Russian Красноармейский , transliteration Krasnoarmejskij ) is a rural settlement (possjolok) in the German national circle of the Russian Altai region in southern Western Siberia .
history
The Russian-German village was founded in 1907. The first settlers came in 1902. Originally seven families lived here. These came from the southern provinces of the European part of Russia, probably from the Yekaterinoslav Governorate ; they were Lutherans . The first farms were called Barskoje, Reichenfeld and Baschenfeld. In 1930 the village was named Barski Log, or Barski for short. In 1950 the village was renamed Krasnoarmeiskoje, from Russian Krasnaya Armija for Red Army . The official form of the name today is Krasnoarmeiski. The place belongs to the rural community Kussak (formerly Alexanderkron ).
The type of homestead was brought with them by immigrants from the former places of residence. The "Ussadba" was a large courtyard, where all buildings were under one roof. In the beginning there was only one common well in the village, later each farm had its own. The soil in this area is very fertile, but needs artificial irrigation. The groundwater is very deep, so people were mainly engaged in animal breeding. Cows and horses were bred. Fresh water had to be brought from the village of Kresty, twelve kilometers away. Beams and boards for building houses were procured in Klyuchi. The products produced in excess were sold on Sundays in the market in Slavgorod . Although relations between the residents of Krasnoarmeisky and representatives of other religions were peaceful, it was generally preferred to marry among Lutherans , mainly with the residents of the Novoromanovka village.
Until the mid-1950s there was a primary school in Krasnoarmeiski, later a seven-year-old, and from 1960 an eight-year middle school. German is taught as the mother tongue. In Krasnoarmeiski there is a forge, a carpenter's shop, a shop, a library and a chapel.
Many residents were in labor camps at the time of the German-Soviet War , for example, they worked in the coal pits around Tula or in the logging industry in Yakutia. There was practically no immigration until 1991. After the collapse of the Soviet Union , 90% of the population emigrated to Germany.
