Settlement “Chik-Elga” was founded in October 2010.
We met on the website www.anastasia.ru
People were inspired by the idea of creating a family homestead, after reading the books by Vladimir Megre "the Ringing Cedars of Russia". The main character of the book series – Anastasia spoke about the idea of family homesteads, about the great future of Russia and the World, a new philosophy of life.
Beautiful dream brought us together. We operate within existing legislation. The administration supported our initiative. The land is allocated on account of expansion of borders of the village of Chik-Elga. Currently there are about 43 hectares at our disposal, some of which have already found potential owners.
The settlement is located in a picturesque place of the Arkhangelsk district, Republic of Bashkortostan, 110 km away from Ufa. The Republic of Bashkortostan is known for its beautiful, submontane landscape. The name of the village "Chik-Elga" in Bashkir means "border river". The village is situated at the confluence of two rivers: mountain river of Chik-Elga and the river Skimca. There are a lot of berries, mushrooms, medicinal herbs. There are mixed forests with lime trees, oaks, pines. At the foot of the mountains grow wild apple trees with big aromatic apples.
At the moment 19 families already have their own Family homesteads. In autumn 2014 we were joined by 5 families who had already chosen their areas within the boundaries of the extension. We don't waste our time – we have a friendly team, there are so many projects!
For example:
— “Green team” – in autumn 2009 we planted trees in the courts of the city of Ufa;
— In June 2010 we painted the bridge over the river Skimca at the entrance to Chik-Elga;
— There is training club ;
— We created VIA (is an abbreviation for Russian Vocal-[Music] Instrumental-Ensemble) "Sundresses and Sandals", whose repertoire includes songs written by us: about us, about our land, about "Chik-Elga". On the 27th of March in Universal Sports Hall CSKA, Moscow hosted the First international festival Ringing Cedars, VIA "Sundresses and Sandals" took part in it and became a laureate of musical competition "Vedrussiya Art";
— We initiated the restoration of the street lighting system in the "old" part of the village in 2014;
— Establishment of a local seed vegetables fund, acclimatized to the local conditions of the foothills.
It is expected the settlement will be numerous and in perspective by 2020 will reach 100-120 family homesteads with a school, sports area and guest house.
We are open for cooperation; we are pleased to host visitors and new settlers. The municipality has vacant land to provide to interested persons.
