A village on the Mutnaya (Amutnaya) stream in the former Bogoroditsk district. A 1926 register extract records Valentina Bushina’s birth here and names her parents, Alexei and Alexandra. The 1859 list gives 43 households and 367 inhabitants. Lidinka’s historical parishes were Chernyaevka and Bolokhna.

Place and parishes. The directory of 1859 places Lidinka in Bogoroditsky district, on the Amutnaya River. GATO includes the village in the parish of Chernyaevka; The genealogical index also indicates Bolohna's books. When choosing a metric, you need to check the year, parish and leaf, and not just the name of the village.

Owners. Lidinka, like Chernyaevka, belonged to the Bogoroditsk volost, which Paul I granted in 1796 to Count Alexey Grigoryevich Bobrinsky, the illegitimate son of Catherine II; see the description of Chernyaevka. The village apparently appeared around 1828: according to the 1834 revision, peasants from the village of Baranovka were resettled here (VGD forum, L28). The Bushins and Fetisovs were serfs of the Counts Bobrinsky until 1861; in 1880 the land passed to the peasants (S108).

Another name. The directory «Towns and villages of Tula Governorate in 1857» lists the village as «Lidinka, or Baronovka» in the parish of Chernevka (Chernyaevka) — together with the villages of Ozerki, Ozeretskiye Vyselki (Tsyganovka) and Shcheglova. This confirms the VGD forum's account of peasants being resettled here from Baranovka.

Family connection. The extract S9 directly records the birth of Valentina and the residence of her parents in Lidinka in 1926. The index S11 lists the Bushins and Fitisovs among the surnames of residents, but namesakes by themselves do not prove kinship.

What remains to be seen. There are documents of a possible family of Loggin Bushin in the parish of Chernyaevka ( S65 ) and a military record of Ignat Bushin from Lidinka ( S68 ). The birth of Alexei around 1899 and the connection of his mother Alexandra with this line according to the originals have not yet been confirmed.

The original yard card from 1910–1912 was found: household No. 47 of Login Timofeev Bushin (47 years old). This is the first direct confirmation of his court in Lidinka itself; The names of the remaining family members are not indicated on the card ( S105 ).

The GATO contains a plan of the Lidinka land of 1880, which passed to the peasants from the ownership of Count Bobrinsky ( S108 ), and affairs with the namesake Fetisovs of 1860–1907 ( S110 ). Their relationship with Prokhor Timofeevich has not yet been proven.

Household census 1910–1912: two communities - former peasants of Count Bobrinsky (107 households, 631 inhabitants) and Sivers (33 households, 194 inhabitants) ( S130 ).

The departure to earn money in Podolsk began even before the revolution: a native of Lidinka, Pavel Fetisov, lived near the Grivno station of the Kursk railway before the First World War ( S131 ; preliminary reading, relationship with our Fetisovs has not been established).

Lidinka appears in the Chernyaevka registers from 1827; the 1834 revision says peasants from Baranovka were resettled here, and part of the Bushins had been moved to Baranovka from Mikhailovskoye under the 1782 revision (S494, S495). According to a researcher of the family, before the revolution the Bushins made up half the village. Lists of residents for 1899, 1904, 1913 and 1914 are kept in GATO (L118).

Where the inhabitants came from. In the 1834 revision above the first household is noted: “Resettled from the village of Baranovka, Bogoroditsk uyezd, in 1825”. All the families of Lidinka — Bushins, Fetisovs, Evdokimovs and others — are recorded in 1811 and 1816 in the village of Baranovka of the same Bogoroditsk volost of the Counts Bobrinsky, so the village was moved as a whole (S526, S530, S531).

In 1894 the Lidinskoye village community belonged to Chernyaevka volost (S606); a community of the same name also existed in Lyubimovka volost — possibly the village's second commune.

In the second half of 1898 Vasily Dmitriev Bushin, a peasant of Lidinka, kept premises for a wine shop; the police found the zemstvo levy on it, 5 rub. 24 kop. with penalties, uncollectable (S608). The journal does not name the volost, and the district had a second Lidinka (see below), but this is apparently ours: the same Vasily Dmitriev Bushin appears in the 1910–1912 household card — aged 38, a senior yard keeper in Moscow (S130).

Two Lidinkas. In the 1859 “Lists of populated places” ours is No. 941, “on the Amutnaya stream”, 18 versts from Bogoroditsk, 43 households, 174 men and 193 women; the second, No. 955, “by the wells”, on the Tula–Voronezh road near Boryatino, 42 versts away, only 7 households (S609). The “Lidinskoye” community of Lyubimovka volost belongs to the second one, and apparently so do the zemstvo records of 1903–1908 about the ravine and bridge on the Efremov road at the border of Efremov district.

School. As early as the 1878/79 school year Lidinka had a literacy school: the teacher was the retired sergeant major Ivan Ivanov Bushin, there were 30–40 pupils, and classes ran from December to March (S618). In 1896 new church literacy schools of the Chernyaevka parish were opened in Lidinka and Shcheglovka (S619).
