There is no place like home.

The part of my life –

Native Place
 Pink – cold autumn wind over my
native village Mechetnoe amaze me.
The evening village is so beautiful! We
used to its beauty, and, sometimes, we
don’ notice it. But when you leave it for
a month, for a week, it will appear in
your memory in the morning, in the
afternoon, in the evening.
Welcome to the heart of the Saraton steppes – Mechetnoe.
Its was founded in 1977.
Population is – 1303 people.
It is far from the big industrial centres. The distance from
Mechetnoe to Stepnoe – 17 km.
Why is it so called – Mechetnoe? It is name
comes from the river, that flows near the
village – Mechetka, as for the name of the
river. There are several points of view:
1)Once upon the time there was a building on
the riverside, that was considered to be a
Moslem mosque.
2) Maybe its name comes from the names
of the rivers: Mech, Mecha, flowing by
the river Don.
3) There is one more variant; the name
Mechetnoe comes from the word
“mech”, it means “steep”.
Our village is not big and is not
small. It’s square is 106.6 km. It
is situated in a very curious
way: in the middle of the two
ponds and the river in such
three – cornered place.
In all seasons it is lovely
here, even now, in early
spring. Snow and black
trees, and the pounds
covered with ice don’t
spoil its beauty.
They say, that the village is alive, until there is a
school there.
Our school was opened in 1981 and it’s is our
second home.
There is a
monument to
the veterans of
the Second
World War. We
are proud of it.
If you want to read or you don’t know what to
do? Run to the sportground, to the House of
culture, to the library. And you will be healthy
and happy!
 We all hurry for wonders,
But There is nothing more
wonderful
That land under the sky
Where the roof of your house is!
