To change the attitude towards the disease and open a window to the sky: patients of the oncology center made a pilgrimage to Novoutkinsk. Novoutkinsk village and Novoutkinskaya cave How to get to Novoutkinsk

Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the village of Novaya Utka

“More recently, we only saw other buildings of the oncology center from the window. These were sad windows. And in the church where we arrived, we saw a window into the sky - an icon,” - this is how Elena Mukhina, a ward and volunteer of the Orthodox Mercy Service of the Yekaterinburg Diocese, began her story about the pilgrimage trip. Elena went to the church in honor of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the village of Novoutkinsk together with the same “former” and current patients of the Regional Oncology Center and sister of mercy Tatyana Gasheva. For such wards, pilgrimage trips are free, or rather, they are a gift from donors to the Orthodox Charity Service.

- The ancient temple, restored at the beginning of the 21st century, is beautiful and majestic. It can be seen from afar, as it is located on the high bank of the Utka River. And inside there is a treasure - ancient icons; some have been restored, others are again written on ancient boards. They are mesmerizing: you look at the face of the saint and no longer see the glued crack in the board, the cracked paints, but you thank God for the miracle, because the icons were preserved during the terrible years of persecution and were passed on from generation to generation. Father tells us their stories. We, too, have wandered in life, our souls are also “cracked,” some have their bodies cut, some are soaked in chemicals. But now the icons and we are in the temple - we have met, - says Elena Mukhina.

Our companion Anechka Egorova ended up in the pilgrimage group, as she thinks, “by chance.” Two years ago, she was treated at an oncology center, saw a nurse, but did not communicate (either she was embarrassed, or it was completely difficult and there was no time for it). But her roommate Natalya invited her to go on a pilgrimage now that the disease had subsided. Anya also quietly delves into the temple and its atmosphere, and then admits that this is the best way to distract from her illness and from all the bustle of everyday life for the benefit of the soul. She approaches the icons with reverence.

Father Alexander tells the stories of ancient icons

The rector, Father Alexander, is an amazing priest. I remember his words that you need to live and not be afraid of anything, neither life nor death, completely trusting the Lord.

The grace of the Holy Spirit lives in this church, that’s why the icons stream myrrh there (traces are visible on the board), that’s why you don’t want to leave, but your soul is warm and peaceful. But warmth and peace multiply even when we leave the temple - we are greeted here as dear guests, fed a delicious lunch, and given Easter eggs. The parish lives according to the monastic rules, they eat twice a day, but I have never tried such a lush Lenten pastry.

All is well where people love God. Next to the temple, on a former wasteland, parishioners planted cedars, spruces, and fir trees. In summer, the temple will be surrounded by flower beds, around which there is a local Theotokos Canal. Every day at 19:30, regardless of the weather and season, those who want to come here to the Most Holy Theotokos. We also follow this prayer path, walking around the kindergarten three times and reciting the prayer “Rejoice to the Virgin Mary.” I wish I could go through life the same way...

Pilgrimage group from the Regional Oncology Center

Let us remind you that the nursing post of mercy has been operating at the Regional Oncology Center since 2014. The service there is carried out by sister of mercy and psychologist Tatyana Gasheva, around whom a small team of volunteers (four people) has been formed, mainly consisting of those who have already experienced a serious illness themselves or together with their loved ones. Together they support several hundred clients a month. Thanks to the help of caring people who donate funds to pay for a bus for pilgrims, since the end of 2017, patients from the cancer center regularly go on pilgrimage trips together with the Orthodox Mercy Service of the Yekaterinburg Diocese. The group is almost always accompanied by a priest. Over the past six months, the wards visited the shrines of the Holy Trinity Monastery in the village of Taraskovo, the Sredneuralsky Convent of the Bread Spreader, the monastery in the name of the Holy Royal Passion-Bearers on Ganina Yama and other churches of the Yekaterinburg Metropolis.

In 1749, on the Utka River, the left tributary of the Chusovaya River, an iron smelting and ironworks plant was put into operation, which received the name Utkinsky State Plant. The enterprise was built with funds from the treasury, but in 1758 the first private owner, Yaguzhinsky, appeared, who in 1778 sold the plant to Savva Yakovlev.

Since then, the plant and the village around it began to be called Yakovlev’s Duck.

The name Novoutkinsk was “born” from the name of the village of Novaya Utka. Why New? Because on the other Utka River there is an older plant that belonged to a different owner. In order not to confuse them, they were named after the surnames of the owners: Duck Demidova (Staroutkinsk) and Duck Yakovleva (Novoutkinsk). The first names existed before the revolution, the second were assigned after the revolution, in the 20s of the 20th century.

In May 1754, under Empress Elizabeth Petrovna (1709-1762), daughter of Peter I and Catherine I, a decree was signed on the sale of state-owned factories. Goroblagodatsky factories: Turansky, Kushvinsky, Baranchinsky and built on the Tura River to him, General Chief Pyotr Ivanovich Shuvalov. Payment for the factories was spread over 10 years.
Yugovsky factories were given to Count Chernyshev. Alapaevsky, Sinyachikhinsky and Suksunsky lifeguard - guards of the Izmailovsky regiment of seconds - to Major A. Guryev. Pyskorsky, Visimsky and Motovilikhinsky - Count Mikhail Larionovich Vorontsov. Verkh-Isetskie, to his brother, Roman Larionovich Vorontsov. Sysertsky, Polevskoy and Seversky, by some accident, fell into the hands of the Solikamsk salt industrialist Turchaninov. Sylvinsky and Utkinsky - to Chamberlain Yaguzhinsky.

Only two factories remained in the hands of the treasury: Yekaterinburg and Kamensky. So, the Utkinsky plant was given private ownership in 1758 by Sergei Pavlovich Yaguzhinsky, count, actual chamberlain “with all the forests, lands and accessories to it.”

In 1779, the plant had a new owner, Savva Yakovlevich Yakovlev, 1712-1784, formerly Sobakin, (changed his last name after one crime), founder of the dynasty of Russian industrialists, collegiate assessor. A native of the patriarchal peasants of the city of Ostashkovo, he was engaged in the supply of food supplies to the royal court, contracts for the army, and was a participant in customs and wine farming. Having become rich, he began to invest capital in industry. In 1762 he received hereditary nobility.

In 1760-70, he bought the Bolshaya Yaroslavl sailing and linen manufactory, a tannery in St. Petersburg, mining factories in the Urals: Verkhne-Tagilsky, Nevyansk, Irbitsky, Rezhevsky, Verkh-Isetsky and others - a total of 22 factories. The Verkh-Iset group included the Utkinsky iron smelting and ironworks. Savva Yakovlev became the largest factory owner. After his death, his huge fortune was divided as follows: Yakovlev Petr Savvich became the owner of the factories of the Nevyansk group, Yakovlev Sergei Savvich - the Alapaevsk group, Yakovlev Ivan Savvich - the Verkh-Iset group.

Yakovleva Maria Ivanovna, widow, Mrs. Asesorsha, inherited the Utkinsky plant for the Ukaznaya part, and from her it was purchased on March 1788 on the 24th day of the deed of sale by the current owner, Collegiate Councilor Ivan Yakovlev.

What was the Utkinsky plant like under Ivan Savvich Yakovlev? There is one dam, 139.5 long, 24 fathoms wide at the bottom, and 14 fathoms at the top. Factories at the plant: stone-blast furnace - 1, hammer and furnace - 1, at the sawmill - metalworking - 1, wooden forge - 1, blast furnace - 1. The ear goes down the descent of the blast furnace from 28 to 30 per day, and when it works out, then up to 36 and more; cast iron is produced 4 times per day, each output produces from 120 to 140 poods, per day from 450 to 550 poods. Ore is smelted from 750 to 850, sometimes from 900 to 1000 per day.
In the production of manorial houses 3, workshops and philistines - 114. According to the last 5th revision (1795), there are 244 men, including 238 state-owned, 6..., 253 women, in addition every day when mining ores, free workers from 100 to 140 people. According to the last 5th revision, there are 872 male souls living in 4,55,66 and 125 versts of the male sex registered at this Utkinsky plant. There are 35 horses at the plant.

The heirs of Savva Yakovlev (sons Peter, Ivan, Sergei) were not engaged in active entrepreneurial activity. Based on forced labor, the Yakovlev enterprises began to decline at the beginning of the 19th century, many of them were sold.

According to the 1912 census in the Utkinskaya volost, the boundaries of which by this time had been expanded: in addition to the plant and the village of Kuzino, it now included the village of Kamenka and the village of Utkinskaya Sloboda, there were 2,535 males and 2,478 females. For 5,013 residents of the Utkinskaya volost in 1912 year there were 1023 households. At the turn of 1923, the Novoutkinskaya volost included the village of Sloboda, the villages of Kamenka and Kuzino (with a station), the Kourovka station, the Utkinsky plant, and about 10 other small barracks-type settlements. In 1927, on the basis of the old enterprise, a mechanical plant was created, which was at the disposal of the Vostokstal trust, which ensured the mechanization of forestry in the Urals. In 1937, the village of Novaya Utka was renamed into the working village of Novoutkinsk, and a year later the plant was transferred to the Soyuzasbest trust of the People's Commissariat of Construction Materials.

In 1931, non-production residents of Utsk united into the Leninsky Put collective farm.

In 1941, the plant took under its roof equipment from the Leningrad Elektrik plant that was evacuated here. A new enterprise was “born” on Ural soil - the plant of electric welding machines and apparatus (ESMA), which later became known as the Iskra plant.

Factory management "Iskra"

Born in Lysva, Perm region in 1949. After school he studied at the Faculty of Philology of Perm University and in the early 70s. at GITIS, directing department, workshop of Yu.A. Zavadsky. After graduating from the latter, he worked in theaters in Minsk, Chisinau, and Tula.

Attended the poetry seminar of Anatoly Zhigulin under S.P. In 1978 received Holy Baptism. He lived in Moscow, carried out several works at the Mosconcert, then in 1982 he moved to Vel. Ustyug and then to the village. We stayed in the Urals, where he began to serve as a psalm-reader in the Church, then in N. Tagil and Perm. In 1986 again with his family (5 children) he moved to Moscow, where he continued to serve as a psalm-reader in Moscow churches and, finally, in 1988 he was ordained a priest in the Yekaterinburg diocese, and alternately served in the churches of Kurgan, the village of Borovskoye (there, by the grace of God, the Monastery of Praise was established Mother of God), village. Marina in Ufa, then again in the village of Borovskoye and now serves in the village. New Utka in the Church of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary, where also, through the obedience of the efforts of spiritual children, the Shamarsky convent is being built in the Maly Lipa tract on the border with the Perm region, completely destroyed, the foundation of which as the last monastery of Tsarist Russia (November 1916) is directly connected with the Holy Order . Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodorovna.

In 1989, Archpriest Alexander Nikulin became rector of the St. Nicholas Church in the village of Borovskoye. Having two higher educations - the philological department of Perm University and the directing department of the Moscow GITIS, who served in churches in Moscow and the Urals, Father Alexander distinguished himself among priests for his integrity and uncompromisingness in his relations with both spiritual and secular authorities. This had a negative impact on his career. His intransigence became the reason for his transfer from Kurgan (Temple in Smolino) to the village. Borovskoye, as Fr. Alexander - into his first priestly exile. And here is how his appearance in the church happened:

“Almost in the middle of the temple there was a huge table, and a small man was sitting at it.
- Who are you?
- I'm a church accountant.
- Why are you sitting?
- I'm not a believer.
- What do you need to know?
- I was appointed from the department of religious affairs.
- Just sit there! This is the temple of God! Come on, liberate the temple, this is for believers, but you have all the

Soviet Union...
The next day they called me to the bishop, who had been “ruining” for a long time that it was just a hassle with me, that he regretted the day when he ordained me.”

Having settled into Borovaya, Fr. In 1992, Alexander united some women parishioners into the church community on new principles, on the principles of a church family based on the type of monastery. Everything became common - sorrow, joy, care and needs. But before setting up the monastery, they visited all the famous elders and received their blessings. Simultaneously with the creation of the monastery, the construction of the Mother of God garden near the temple began. In the cold autumn, the priests and parishioners pulled out logs floating in the swamp and adapted them for posts (now the fence is made of stone). The swamps were filled in manually and flowers and trees were planted. Since 1993, the Mother of God rule began to be performed every day in the Mother of God Garden. On a hillock on the site of a garbage dump overgrown with thistles, a beautiful wooden chapel in honor of the Holy Trinity was built, somewhat similar to the famous Kizhi. The iconostasis of the chapel, woven from tree branches, is also unusual.

The Mother of God Garden is small, but how beautiful and cozy it is! An artificial pond framed by flowers and shrubs, a short alley with a composition of trees reminiscent of an arboretum - all conifers are represented. There are pine and spruce, cedar and larch, fir and juniper! A young oak tree grown from an acorn grows, others are deciduous. All this splendor was also created through the efforts of Fr. Alexandra. By the way, he is a big fan of hiking, he has been to the Crimea, Transcarpathia, the Caucasus and Lake Baikal. In 1997, together with today’s Cathay priest Fr. Evfimiem climbed back to the Northern Urals, to his favorite place - the Basegi ridge, from where we barely got out in heavy snow and rain.

From such trips to the nearest Ural forests he brought Fr. Alexander dug up seedlings that had difficulty taking root, and he had to replace them several times a year. Well, today come to Borovaya and go to the Mother of God Garden, sit on a bench, think about the eternal...

When three teenage girls, three youths, appeared in the community in 1996, it was decided to create a Maiden’s Convent. In 2000, the monastery became the convent of the Praise of the Mother of God, headed by abbess Vassa (Lyapina), who had previously been in the community for more than 10 years. During his years of service in Borovaya, Fr. Alexander, through his efforts and pastoral leadership, the monastery expanded and strengthened. There are residential buildings and a refectory, workshops, a barnyard... The Church of St. Nicholas became a three-altar church, that is, a chapel was built, illuminated in honor of the Royal Martyrs, members of the royal family killed in Yekaterinburg in 1918. I must say that Fr. From his youth, Alexander was partial to the history of the last Russian Tsar, and when he began serving in Borovaya, he did a lot to honor the slain. On the left side of the chapel there are 7 icons depicting all members of the royal family in full height, as well as an icon of the Martyr Grand Duchess Elizabeth. The newly painted icon “The Zealous Sacrifice” with the image of St. John the Baptist with the head is unusual

The Passion-Bearer Sovereign on a platter.

Patronal holiday - July 17. Across the road from the temple, in a 2-story wooden house that was returned to the church (under Soviet rule, it housed a school), the Tsar’s Room was built on the 2nd floor. Numerous reproductions and photographs are dedicated to the royal family. There is also a well-known photograph, looking at which I unexpectedly muttered the famous lines of Georgy Ivanov:

Enamel cross in buttonhole,
And a gray cloth jacket.
What sad faces
And how long ago it was...
What beautiful faces
And how hopelessly pale
Heir, Empress,
Four Grand Duchesses...
1949

The canon and manifesto to the Tsar-Martyr are constantly read in the monastery.

Simultaneously with the organization of the women's monastery, O. Alexander founded a men's monastery. It is located on the site of the disappeared village of Cherny Yar (Yarok), beyond Cheremisskaya, on the lands of the Dalmatovsky district. The large area is surrounded by a wooden fence, in the center is the only surviving structure - a stone chapel, again restored after it was converted into a store under Soviet rule. On the territory of this Pokrovsko-Dalmatovsky monastery there are living quarters, outbuildings, a bathhouse, and a belfry. At first, Hieromonk Gerasim and about 10 brethren settled there. The place is beautiful, on the high right bank of the Isetskaya oxbow with considerable vegetable and potato fields, but secluded. In winter you can only get here on skis. The hermit life apparently turned out to be unbearable for the brethren.

Today the monastery has become a kind of subsidiary farm of the monastery, where in the summer season “shift workers” monks go in UAZ cars to work in the vegetable garden and potato field.

Fr. had many more plans. Alexandra. He planned to build a huge cathedral in Borovaya, create a theological school, but... As he himself writes: “At the 55th year of my life, I was left without a church, without a cause, which I served with every breath - and all this happened through treacherous slander, bribery, deception , which hover around me until now...”

Currently Fr. Alexander serves in the village. New Duck outside the city of Pervouralsk in the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. A dilapidated church is being restored, and nearby an abandoned 2-story building of the former factory administration of a local “lying down” plant is being refurbished for church purposes. Moreover, on the border with the Perm region in the Maly Lip tract, the Shamarsky convent is being built on the site of the completely destroyed last monastery of Tsarist Russia (November 1916). Sometimes, on Mondays, Fr. Alexander comes to Yekaterinburg to serve in the evening in the lower part of the Church on the Blood.
Well, Father Alexander is true to himself! Kataysk lost a nice man.

This article is devoted to the history, features and attractions of the village of Novoutkinsk (Sverdlovsk region), as well as the Novoutkinskaya cave.

The name of this settlement is based on the name of the Utka River on which it arose. The length of the Utka River is about 100 kilometers. It used to be called Wild Duck or Top Duck. The Utka is a left tributary of the Chusovaya River. It’s interesting that there are three rivers with the same name on Chusovaya. In addition to this, 50 kilometers below, in the village of Staroutkinsk, another Utka flows into Chusovaya on the left. And even further downstream, in the village of Ust-Utka, Chusovaya receives the right tributary - Mezhevaya Utka. Near the mouth of the Utka River, the Utkinskaya pier operated - the first on the Chusovaya River. Before the construction of the railway in the Urals, iron caravans - barges with metal smelted at Ural factories - departed from here every spring.

Linguists believe that the name of the river did not arise from the abundance of birds and ducks, but from the Mansi words “vut-ka” - “the river along which the path passes.” The Russians changed the name in the usual way - and the Utka River arose. Although the famous Ural linguist A.K. Matveev had a different opinion:

“It is most likely that these names are associated with the word utya - “water”, recorded in the 18th century in the Chusovo dialect of the Mansi language. Nowadays this dialect no longer exists.”

History of Novoutkinsk

In 1749, on the Utka River, 3 kilometers above its mouth, the treasury launched the Utka ironworks, which was part of the Verkh-Isetsky mountain district. The dam was erected by the famous Demidov dam master Leonty Zlobin.

Finished products were sent for reworking to the Sylvensky plant. In 1758, the plant was transferred to Count S.P. Yaguzhinsky. Under Yaguzhinsky, the Utkinsky and Sylvensky factories found themselves in debt. In 1765, the Berg College considered the issue of returning both factories to the treasury. The Utkinsky plant stopped work at that time. The plant was left to Yaguzhinsky. Later the enterprise started working again.

During the Peasant War, the Utkinsky plant found itself in a combat zone. On January 29, 1774, it was captured and plundered by rebels. In September 1778, Yaguzhinsky sold the factories to Savva Yakovlev (Sobakin). The name Yakovleva's Duck was assigned to the plant and the village attached to it.

Yakovlev restored the plant, and iron smelting increased. In the 1780s, the production of cast iron also began.

It was from the Utkinsky plant that Grigory Zotov began his rise up the career ladder, who was transferred from here to the position of manager of the Verkh-Isetsky plant. Later, for his cruelty, he received the nickname “Kyshtym beast.”

After Yakovlev's death, the plant passed to his sons and grandsons. Since 1862, Countess N.A. became the owner of the plant. Stenbock-Fermor. There were factories here: blast furnace, furnace, rolling, nailing, forging, metalworking, which had a blast furnace, cupola, 2 heating furnaces, 2 forges with 4 fires, 1 nail forge and 9 forges, 2 forge hammers and 3 nail hammers. In subsequent years, the plant and its equipment were reconstructed and modernized.

In 1899, the Utkinsky plant became the property of a family share partnership of the heirs of Countess N.A. Stenbock-Fermor. The industrial crisis that broke out at the beginning of the 20th century had a negative impact on the work of the enterprise. In 1908, the plant became the property of the joint-stock company Verkhisetsky Mining and Mechanical Plants, former Yakovlev, which in 1910 transformed into the joint-stock company Verkhisetsky Mining and Mechanical Plants.

On January 16, 1918, the plant was nationalized. During the Civil War, in 1918, the Red Army soldiers shot a local priest, as well as other “anti-Bolshevik figures” from the Novoutkinsk plant. The plant was damaged during the war, the equipment was outdated and destroyed, and the local iron ore deposits were worked out. In this regard, after the Civil War, iron smelting production at the plant was no longer resumed. In 1927, the Novoutkinsky Mechanical Plant was created at its production base, where mining equipment was produced. During the Great Patriotic War, the Leningrad Elektrik plant was evacuated here. This is how the Novoutkinsk plant of electric welding machines and devices arose, which later received the name “Iskra”. The plant still produces electric welding equipment to this day.

In Soviet times, the village began to be called Novaya Utka (since down the Chusovaya there is Utka Staraya - Staroutkinsk). Now officially this is the village of Novoutkinsk, although local residents at the everyday level still call it Novaya Utka. The population of the village is 5360 people (according to the 2010 census).

The main attraction of the village is Novoutkinskaya Cave. It is located within the village in the limestone rocks of the right bank of the Utka River, 1 kilometer below the pond dam.

Cave entrance

The cave is small in length - 15 meters. Crouching behind the entrance grotto, you will find yourself in a large and high (up to 5 meters wide and 3 meters high) second grotto of the cave. The vaulted ceiling has no leaks. The floor is covered with earth.

Urals specialists in the Novoutkinskaya cave

The cave was first described by V.I. Meller in 1875. F.Yu. Gebauer conducted archaeological excavations here. Now the cave has been chosen by representatives of the Russian Orthodox Church to celebrate Christmas. In the cave you can see the remains of a Christmas nativity scene.

GPS coordinates of Novoutkinskaya cave: N 56° 59.908´; E 59° 33.548´.

What else to see in Novoutkinsk

The main decoration of the village, in addition to the rocks on the Utka River, is the Utkinsky pond. A picturesque coniferous forest grows along its banks. The length of the pond is about 5 kilometers, width up to 500 meters.

Near the dam of the pond, on the right bank, stands the Assumption Church. It was founded in 1833 and opened in 1838.

In 1931 the church was closed and the bells were thrown to the ground. When, after the start of the Great Patriotic War, the Leningrad Elektrik plant was evacuated to Novoutkinsk, a stamping shop was located in the former church. Later the building was converted into a factory warehouse. In 1997, the building was transferred to the Russian Orthodox Church, and now the church has been restored.

Nearby there is a memorial stone in honor of the founding of the settlement, erected in the year of the 260th anniversary of Novoutkinsk.

It’s interesting that during my visit to Novoutkinsk in 2007, there was a different monument here (by the way, more attractive). The marble tablet erroneously attributed the founding of the village to 1651. The authors confused Novoutkinsk with Utkinskaya Sloboda (today it is the village of Sloboda).

There is a bus stop nearby. There is a monument right there stating that the square is named in honor of a native of Novoutkinsk, Hero of the Soviet Union V.V. Tomilovsky. He was awarded the title of Hero of Tomilovsky for military services on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War. He was wounded three times. After the third wound, he lost his speech, which he regained for 20 years. After returning, he continued to live in Novoutkinsk. There is a memorial plaque installed on the house on Partizan Street in which Tomilovskikh lived.

600 meters along Partizan Street, near the plant management building, there is a monument to those killed during the Great Patriotic War. Next to it there is a monument to the liquidators of the consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident and a border pillar.

On the other side of the pond dam, on the left bank, there is another local attraction that attracts lovers of abandoned buildings - a closed three-story school.

The building is in disrepair and is gradually collapsing. Part of the interfloor ceilings collapsed.

But under the roof the Soviet slogan was well preserved: “Study, study and study. Lenin."

In front of the former school building, a lonely gravestone attracts attention. The sign says that partisan sailor Pavel Timofeevich Luzin is buried here. He was born in 1890 at the Novoutkinsky plant. In 1912, Luzin was enlisted in the 1st Baltic Fleet Crew. In 1917-18 he served on the battleship Gangut of the Baltic Fleet. At the same time he was a member of the Central Committee of the Baltic Fleet. In 1918, due to health reasons, he was demobilized and returned to his homeland. When the Utkinsky plant was occupied by the White Czechs, Luzin joined the partisan detachment. On August 2, 1918, he was captured near the Kuzino station and shot. After the whites left, Luzin’s body was reburied in the square in front of the school.

How to get to Novoutkinsk?

The village of Novoutkinsk can be visited along with a walk along the rocks on the Chusovaya River near the village of Sloboda. ru

The village of Novoutkinsk is located 30 km west of Pervouralsk, near the Kourovka railway station. These days the settlement celebrated its 260th anniversary.

In 1749, on the Utka River (the left tributary of the famous Ural beauty Chusovaya), an iron smelting and ironworks plant was put into operation, which received the name "Utkinsky State". The enterprise was built with funds from the treasury, then the owner became the breeder Yaguzhinsky, and later Savva Yakovlev. The settlement at that time was called Novaya Utka.

In 1833, the laying of the stone single-altar church in honor of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary took place at the Novoutkinsky plant. The church was built at the expense of the Yakovlev family of factory owners, and was consecrated in 1838.

In 1930, the authorities closed the temple for worship; in 1997, it was returned to believers. The restoration of the ancient building continues to this day.

The village is located 74 versts from Yekaterinburg, on the western side of the Urals. This plant, popularly called “new Utkinsky,” is located on the banks of the Verkhnyaya Utka River, dividing it into two equal parts. The Utkinsky iron-smelting and ironworks plant was built in 1749 at government expense; in 1758, the plant with all its accessories and land was transferred by the government department to the private ownership of Count Yaguzhinsky. In 1779, Yaguzhinsky sold the plant to Savva Yakovlev, whose descendants own the plant. Workers at the plant were resettled from other state-owned Ural factories, many peasants were taken from the Kungur and Turin districts.

The formation of the parish can be dated back to 1829; in addition to the factory village, it includes the villages of Krylosov and Nikitin; The parishioners in 1901 numbered 2,738 souls of both sexes, of which 2,007 were people in the plant itself. The means of subsistence for the factory population comes exclusively from work at the factory. The population of the villages is busy cutting firewood and firewood, burning coal and mining ore, transporting both to the plant.

The first petition for the construction of a temple at the Utkinsky plant was initiated by the Main Verkh-Isetsky plant board in 1802 before the Perm Rev. Justin. The factory management and residents assigned a certain amount of content to the clergy, but for some reason the request was not granted. After this, the matter of building a church was suspended for a very long time and it arose again only at the beginning of 1830 at the request of the chief manager of the Yakovlevsky factories, Kitaev, and this time had a favorable outcome. The sacred letter was signed by Rev. Perm Arkady on November 15, 1832. The foundation of the temple was entrusted to the Ekaterinburg Archpriest Benediktov, but for some reason the latter did not fulfill the order. Rev. Arkady, while he was at the Utkinsky plant on July 9, 1833, himself founded the temple. In August 1838, the temple was completed, and on September 4 of the same year, Rev. Evlampius, Bishop of Yekaterinburg, consecrated it in front of a huge crowd of people from all the surrounding villages.

The temple is stone, single-altar, in honor of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary; built at the expense of the factory owner; is located among the plant, on the right, elevated bank of the Utka River. The iconostasis is wooden, two-tiered, painted pink; the carving is gilded. In 1900, instead of a wooden one, an iron fence on a stone foundation was built around the temple. In the village Krylosova there is a wooden chapel in the name of St. Nicholas the Miracle, built at the expense of parishioners. In the same village there has been a mixed literacy school since 1892.
