Lenino-Kokushkino (Template:Lang-ru; Template:Lang-tt), informally called Apaqay (Template:Lang-tt),[citation needed] is a rural locality (a selo) in Pestrechinsky District of the Republic of Tatarstan, Russia, located on the Ushnya River in the Myosha's basin,[1] 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) north of Pestretsy, the administrative center of the district.[1] Population: 2,703 (2000 est.);[citation needed] 2,124 (1992 est.).[1] The population is 63% ethnic Tatar and 34% ethnic Russian.[1]

History

It has been known since the Khanate of Kazan epoch as Yañasala (Template:Lang-tt). In Russian, it has been known as Kokushkino (Template:Lang-ru) until Lenin's death in 1924, when it was renamed Lenino (Ленино). In 1964, Lenino was merged with the nearby village of Apakayevo (Апакаево) and given its present name.[citation needed]

Lenin's family owned an estate here, which had been inherited from the family's maternal line and served as the family summer residence during Lenin's childhood and until his father's death. Lenin and his sister Anna also lived at the house in Kokushkino under a brief house-arrest, resulting from suspected involvement in his elder brother Alexander's revolutionary activity.[2] The house where Lenin lived and spent his childhood summers mostly burned down in 1902, but the remaining part has been converted into a museum. In 1991, Lenino-Kokushkino Natural and Historical Reserve was established.

Economy

The main occupations of the residents are agriculture, cattle breeding, and poultry farming.[1] There is a bakery, secondary, musical, and vocational schools, and a mosque.[1]
