History

The Geographical and Statistical Dictionary of the Russian Empire reported that Khrenovoe is a village in the Voronezh province and county, 30 miles from the city near the Usman River. The number of inhabitants is 1978 souls of both sexes, 233 households. This village appeared around 1645 and in 1746 there were about 100 households.

The first mention of settlements in the vicinity dates back to 1654. 12 versts south of the fortress city of Orlova (now the village of Orlovo in the same region), on the right bank of the Usman River, a “dangerous prison” was established. Here horseradish grew in abundance for a long time, and this place was called Horseradish Glade. The fortified point created on this site was called Khrenovsky dangerous town in the documents, and the village that was formed later - Khrenov. According to the description, the length of the wall of the prison is 40 sazhens, there was a chopped quadrangular tower and defensive scaffolding in the wall. There were 20 people serving in the prison. During the attack of the nomads, the garrison had to report the impending danger in the Oryol fortress, as well as take the necessary measures to delay the enemy.

A detailed description of one case of the Tatars, which occurred in 1675, has been preserved. In 100 steppe nomads appeared, who laid siege to Khrenovskaya Ostrozhek. The small garrison held out as long as they could, messengers were sent to the Oryol fortress. The garrison in the prison, apparently, was sent and the nomads were transferred to Orlov. The document says that the nomads slaughtered many Russian people, took many prisoners, captured “horses and animals” herds. But soon the Orlovites, having gathered their strength, defeated the nomads, restored the prisoners, and returned the herds. After the battle, the restoration of Khrenovsky prison began. This was required by the royal charter, where it was instructed to repair “ruggy places” in the fortresses so that the nomads would not come again “and what a bad thing they didn’t teach.”

In the 1680s, Oryol soldiers began to settle near Khrenovsky prison. The nomads didn't come here anymore. Ostrozhek gradually ended, and in its place grew the village of Khrenovoe. In the village of Plyasovo-Yurasovo, located near the village of Khrenovoye, at the beginning of the 20th century, the estate of the teacher-mathematician A.P. Kiselyov turned out to be. On the map of the Soviet era, the village was still designated as Yurasovo, but later (in the middle of the 20th century) it became part of Khrenovoe.

In the 1860s, the owner of the village of Khrenovoe-Plyasovo was Grigory Alekseevich Snezhkov (1810-†1879), a real state councilor, marshal of the county nobility in the city of Usman (1857-1864), an honorary judge of the Usman district, and a large landowner. The number of male serf souls in the village is 48 people, arable and manor land - 142 acres. During his tenure, a noble estate and a trotting horse farm were built. In 1864, a case was sent to the main redemption agency on the redemption of land plots by temporarily liable peasants G.A. Snezhkov village of Khrenovoy-Plyasov, Voronezh district, Voronezh province.

Vasily Ivanovich Veretennikov (1816-†1873), mayor of Voronezh (1858), acquired the estate from the Snezhkovs. In the autumn of 1875, the village was sold by the heirs of Veretennikov to A.P. Kiselev.
