History
In ancient times, the Oka and its tributaries Nara, Protva, Lopasnya and other rivers that have survived to the present day appeared on the Priok plain as a result of the melting of a powerful glacier that descended from the north. These lands were inhabited by the first people of the Neolithic era, who left stone tools, axes, knives, spears. From the 8th century BC to the 6th century AD, settlements of patriarchal tribal communities developed here, which already knew fire and even created primitive clay products. In the second half of the 10th century, Vyatichi began to settle along the banks of the Oka River. The remains of these ancient Slavic villages were found in different places of the Lopasny region at the confluence of the Terebenki River with Lopasnya, near the village of Solnyshkov, in Spas-Temna, Stary Spas, Talezh.
In 1175, after bloody battles for the right of ownership of the Vladimir-Suzdal lands, the victory went to the brothers Mikhail and Vsevolod Bolshoe Gnezdo. During military campaigns and battles, their wives took refuge under the protection of Grand Duke Svyatoslav of Chernigov. "... And then Svyatoslav, the ambassador of their wives, Mikhalkova and Vsevolozha, having assigned his son Oleg to them, I will escort them to Moscow. Oleg returned to his parish of Lopasna...". So for the first time the name of the city appears in the chronicle.
