Putyatino

Putyatino lies southeast of Ryazan, in a countryside of fields and woodland near the old routes toward Shatsk. The village belonged to members of the Godunov family at the end of the sixteenth century and appears in Ryazan tax records of 1628–1629. Later owners included a son of Prince Dmitry Pozharsky and members of the Vysheslavtsev family. To the northeast, tradition locates the Shishevsky Forest, where Ryazan and allied princes defeated a Horde force in 1365.
