history
The Cossack settlements Perwy (1-j) Tschermutajewski and Wtoroj (2-j) Tschermutajewski, which belonged to Stanitsa Pokrovskaya (today the village of Sheltura ) , had existed in the area of the village since the 19th century . After the construction of a chapel consecrated to Peter and Paul (Russian Pjotr i Pawel ) from 1869, Perwy Tschermutajewski was renamed Petropavlowka based on their name . Since 1935 it has been the center of the Jidinski rajon, which was spun off from the Selenginski rajon in the same year . Until the 1930s / 1940s, the (Buryat) place name Zagatui, after the river that flows into it, was officially in use.
