A settlement of primitive people There was a settlement of primitive people in Kubashevo Hills not far away from my hometown. Now it is a place for rest for tourists and guests in summer and a wonderful place for skiing in winter.

“The town must be built here” 5 streets are like 5 fingers of the hand. . There is a legend about Sanchursk. The Russian Tsar Ivan the Terrible went to conquer Kazan. He kept his way through dark forests, deep swamps. But the chiefman Baltaush didn’t allow him to cross his territory and built a fortress Shemchura. It was impossible to overcome it without battle. It was a great fight. The army of Baltaush was defeated. Ivan the Terrible ordered: “The town Tsarevo-Shemchuragrad must be built here!”Later the town was named Tsarevo. Sanchursk. Now it is Sanchursk.

Historical reference The arms of Sanchursk was maintained on the 28 th of May 1781 by Ekaterina the Second. It consists of two parts: the arms of Vyatka and the arms of Tsarevo-Sanchursk. On the arms of Tsarevo- Sanchursk the bird kanyuk is walking in the meadow. Long ago there were many such birds in our place. The building of our local historical museum opens the view of our hometown. Here we can see rich collections of historical documents and exhibits and presents. The museum was founded by the War correspondent D. A. Naumov in 1967. At first it was the museum of the revolution honour. In 1984 it became the historical museum.

Serkovsky ravines are the place where the first revolutionaries gathered. Now it is a traditional place for sport competitions and different festivals.

Churches The Nikolsko-Vladimirskaya Church was built in 1784. There were 3 huge bells in it. The reading hall was built here in 1898. It was opened for readers every day.
