Batyrevo

Batyrevo stands by the Bula in the southern Chuvash countryside. A census of 1723 records the yasak-paying village of Khombusi Bogatyrevo and its 123 households. Its name points to a connection with another settlement called Khombus-Batyrevo, from which villagers may have migrated. The inhabitants formed part of the Chuvash rural communities that expanded southward during the early modern period, cultivating land in the valleys and clearings of the middle Volga region.
