Khutor
(hamlet), a rural settlement consisting of one homestead. Such settlements have been known since the most ancient times among many, primarily farming, peoples of Western, Northern, and Eastern Europe, as well as among several peoples of Middle Asia. In the Ukraine and in the Don and Kuban’ regions, settlements of those evicted from villages, or stanitsy (large cossack villages), were called khutory regardless of the number of homesteads. They usually appeared during the opening up of new lands. With the development of capitalism, the term khutor was used for an isolated farmstead with household buildings and a plot of land in individual use. Khutory were typical of the Baltic region in the 19th and early 20th centuries. During the Stolypin agrarian reforms, wealthy peasants left the communes and settled on khutory. Most of these settlements were eliminated in the USSR during the collectivization of agriculture. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

Within the next five years, a large chunk of the $12 billion government Olympic fund, plus private investments, largely from oil and gas company Gazprom, will develop three new areas, including Roza Khutor, a beautiful virgin valley where the helis currently drop small numbers of skiers each day. Atlas Copco's equipment will be used in the construction of a new highway and railroad between the Adler resort in the Sochi district and the Rosa Khutor Olympic ski resort. |
