History of the Malaye Vobryna
village
Many years ago, where we now live, there lived our
ancestors. They didn't live all together, like we do now, but in
clumps. Enemies began to invade their lands. For
protection, they had to unite in order to resist the enemy. After
coming together, they chose an elder, who was named Del Obrynski.
Then our ancestors began to work the land. They worked the land
with wooden implements. Our ancestors lived in dug-outs.
The more time that passed, the better culture began to develop.
Our ancestors began to build cottages. A cottage would have only
one window and a small one at that, and the stove wouldn't have a
chimney. Over the course of time a village appeared, which they
called "Vyalikaya Vobryna." It was called this, because it
appeared first and took up a large area, and also because much more
land became the style.
They began to build Vyalikaya Vobryna and the
village reached a large size. Elder Del Obrynski had to divide
the village into two parts. The smaller part of the village he
gave over to his son and called it Malaya Vobryna. After a while
Obrynski died, and in his place was Rayetski. He took over Malaya
Vobryna as well. Playing in cards, Rayetski lost his estate to
Dzedzin, who was our master until the revolution. In 1948 in
Malaya Vobryna, the collective farm
"Kraina Savetau‡" was formed. Now the village is included in the
U.Z. Tsaruk Collective Farm.
