Tormosin

Tormosin lies in the Don steppe, in country associated with the Cossack stanitsa of Esaulovskaya. Local tradition attributes the farmstead's foundation to two Cossacks of the Tarmosin family at the end of the eighteenth century. A settlement called Tarmotiny appears here on a 1797 map of the Don Host lands, and the name Tarmasin is found on a map made in the opening years of the nineteenth century. These small farmsteads formed part of the dispersed settlement of the Cossack steppe.
