Therefore, a strong sense of local historians to study the objects of nature and historical and cultural heritage, writing the history of their villages, villages and regions is felt. Among the ancient Tatar villages can be called the village of Chaika, Karievo (Karly), Verkhniy Iren, Ishimovo, Ust-Turk and others. One of the ancient villages is Enapayevo.
