Villages were once here, up to 1960 a couple of thousands of people lived in these villages. They run farms earlier and were no other feasibilities to earn their living.
In the course of the collectivization of agriculture they got into trouble. Their plough-lands were sporadic ones in the forests and weren’t suitable for farming on a large scale. They didn’t found cooperatives but because of high taxes they failed. They gave up farming and moved away up to 1980. Their houses, the little temples and scools turned to ruins and those are mostly disappeard.
