• Farming and other traditional activities • From the early times, the most important occupation of the islanders was farming. All available area, about half of the island was converted to fields; from the remaining half, a quarter was rocky and the rest occupied by swamps. On one occasion in 18 th century, two villages were moved from Kizhi island to the nearby infertile mainland to free land for farming. Until 1970, the island had about 96 hectares of fields yielding various grains and potato, and combine harvesters and tractors for field cultivation. The farming was stopped in 1971 by a government directive. Some fields were reconstructed in 2004 as part of the Kizhi museum. Those fields are an exhibit demonstrating major steps of the farming and harvesting work.
• Other traditional activities of the area included embroidery, making beaded jewelry, weaving (including traditional birch bark weaving), knitting, spinni ng, woodcarving (which included making traditional Russian wooden toys) and pottery.
ORIGINAL CHURCHES OF KIZHI • The first mentioning of churches on the island is dated to 1563.

In particular, Scotts pine (Pinus sylvestris) about 30 cm in diameter and 3 to 5 meters long. Many contrary to the later, domed thousands logs were brought for churches of the pogost, the first construction from the mainland which ones had pyramidal roofs.

The logs were cut and shaped with axes churches were burned by a fire and assembled without nails, using interlocking corner joinery — either round caused by lightning in the end of 17 th century. notch or dovetail. Flat roofs were made of spruce planks and the domes are covered in aspen.
• The first church raised after the fire was the Church of the Intercession (Russian: церковь Покрова Богородицы, 1694) which was heated and held services all year long. It was reconstructed several times in 1720– 1749 and in 1764 rebuilt into its present 9 -dome design. In 1714, the 22 -dome Transfiguration Church (Russian: Церковь Преображения Господня) was constructed and soon after the bell-tower was added, thereby completing the Kizhi Pogost. The bell-tower was entirely rebuilt in 1862.

• • • SETTLEMENTS The pogost settlement is located near the Kizhi Pogost. It was first mentioned in the early 17 th century; then it consisted of four houses, two of which were burned down during a local revolt. By 1678, the number of houses increased to seven, six of which belonged to the Pogost priests and one to a peasant. The settlement shrank to five houses by the early 1900 s and disappeared by 1950. Nowadays, on their place stands a historical house of Oshevnev, which was moved here in 1951 from Oshevnevo village, and which became the first exhibit of the Kizhi museum opened in 1960. Bachurino was named after a peasant Fedor Bachurin; between the 17 th and 19 th centuries, it contained only two houses which then grew to three. This settlement was the poorest on the island – in 1876, it owned only one horse and two cows, and in the early 20 th century, only two cows for 24 people living there. Bishevo settlement was located in the north-eastern part of the island. In 1563, it had one house but there were four houses there by 1678. In 1820, from eight men of the settlement, six were wealthy – the settlement had 5 horses, 11 cows and 4 sheep. In the early 1900 s, there were only 4 horses and 3 cows for 11 people, and by 1950 the settlement had disappeared. Bosarevo settlement was formed in 1858 -1869 with one house of 11 people, which became two by 1911. Kyazehvo settlement was located on the northernmost shore of the island had two houses in 1563. One more was built by 1876, but the houses were small and had almost no animals. Thirteen people lived there by 1905. Morozovo settlement was known since 1582 and contained one big house which was taken apart in 1950. Nearby, there is the Chapel of the Three Saints. It stands 22 meters tall and was built in the late 18 th century in the Kavgora village. Navolok settlement was one of the largest and richest in the area with four houses in 1563 and seven from 1696. About 40 people lived there in the 19 th century, most of whom were peasants but two were shoe makers and one carpenter. The settlement had a boat which was used for cargo. While most Kizhi settlements were shrinking with time, Vasilyevo was growing from one house in 1840 to two in 1876, three in 1911 and five in 2009. Of the present five houses, two are original and others were moved here as museum exhibits. Near them, there is a historical Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin. Yamka settlement had two houses in 1563, both of which were burned down in 1616. They were rebuilt later and by 1911, the settlement was the largest on the island with 11 houses. One of its inhabitants, Semen Kostin, was a leader of the Kizhi Uprising of the 1769. One of his neighbors became a wealthy merchant and a regular donor to the reconstruction of the Kizhi churches. Apart from historical houses and barns, in Yamka there is a windmill built in 1930 and two chapels. The Chapel of Spas was built in the 17 th– 18 th centuries in Vigovo village and moved to Kizhi in 1950 s. Its style is similar to that of the Chapel of the Archangel Michael. The Chapel of Petr and Pavel is smaller and simpler in design. It was built in the early 18 th century in the Tipinitsa village and then moved to Kizhi. Its interior could not be preserved.
