Description

Ataman is a tourist complex of a Cossack village on the Taman Peninsula in the Krasnodar Territory, which is a living open-air museum. It was opened to visitors on September 5-6, 2009 and covers a total area of 60 hectares.

Located on the western outskirts of the village of Taman, near the shore of the Taman Bay of the Black Sea, the ethno-tourist complex is a reconstruction of the Cossack village in its natural size. The museum's exhibitions, collected from the villages of the Krasnodar Territory, reflect the life and customs of Cossack families of the 18th-20th centuries. To fully explore interesting places and attractions, you need at least 2-3 hours.

Each farmstead on the streets of the Cossack village represents a separate profession or craft, including a potter, shoemaker, barber, hut of ordinary Cossacks, ataman, headman and others. The complex also includes a school, fire station, mill, parish church, and a fairy-tale house on chicken legs, which is associated with Baba Yaga.

Towering over the complex is a chapel. There is also a large car park and a fairground.

The traditional historical technology for building huts was extremely simple: a frame made of poles or logs, coated with clay and straw, covered with reeds or straw. Each household had a summer kitchen with a stove using vegetable fuel, and wood or coal was prepared for heating in the winter.

The buildings in the complex are reconstructions of historical buildings made using modern technologies and materials. The wells and cellars are marked only above ground, preserving the important archaeological significance of the site.

The infrastructure of Atamani represents not only the way of life of the Cossacks of the 19th-20th centuries, but also a reflection of the life of all Cossack villages in the post-war period of restoration. This complex revives the memory of the past, which modern residents remember as something lost.
