The paper examines the biography of Yurii Petrovich Cherkasov (1939–2022), a representative of the Cherkasovs (Keretskys) family. The source base is represented by the archival materials and sources of personal origin. There were used the documents from the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts (Moscow, Russian Federation) and the National Archive of the Republic of Karelia (Petrozavodsk, Russian Federation) among the archival materials. The materials of personal origin are presented by personal documents of Yurii Petrovich Cherkasov (work book, diplomas, etc.), as well as memoirs. In conclusion, the author states that Yurii Petrovich Cherkasov spent his whole life with mining – working in mines. He began his work at the mine at the age of 21 in 1960, in 1967 he graduated from the Krivoy Rog Mining Institute and became a mining master of underground works. He worked in this position until 1997, far exceeding the required period for retirement, which was limited to 25 years of work in the mine. However, even after that, Yurii Petrovich did not retire, but only moved to a less difficult front of work – a mining dispatcher, where he worked for another 14 years. Cherkasov retired in 2011 at the 73rd year of his life, having given 51 years to the mine. However, not only the mine was in his life, in a rare time of rest he loved hunting and outdoor recreation. A well-known miner's proverb says: “No hunter without a gun, no carpenter without an axe, no miner without knowledge” – this was Yurii Petrovich Cherkasov.

The study is devoted to the reconstruction of the business and private life of the workers of the Votkinsk Ivorkov plant, descendants of the craftsmen – the first settlers of Votkinsk, among whom were the masters of the first article of the shipbuilding workshop and the senior clerk of the Department – the First rank of the Main Office, i.e. deputy Mining Chief. This study managed to establish the location of the houses that belonged to them. So, the plot with the house on Kirova Street, 32, currently semi-stone, belonged to the heirs of the family of the Old Believer Osip Ivanovich Yakov (1821–1887). The stone building, decorated with brick ornaments, elongated by an extension in the Soviet years, at 34 Lenin Str., belonged to a rural philistine Grigory Ivanovich Yankov. The clerk at the Votkinsk district administration, Dmitry Yakovlevich Ivukov, lived in a wooden house under the iron roof of the Ivukov heirs on Kontorskaya Street. His house, which stood four houses away from Pisligin's house (Kirova Str., 21), may have been demolished during the Soviet years due to the construction of school No. 17 on this site. To date, the archives have not yet found a map-diagram of the division into quarters of four rural societies of the village of Votkinsky Zavod, but in 2020 we introduced the household census of 1866 into scientific circulation, which, along with plans for the construction of houses to residents of the village, allows you to specify the locations of ancient buildings and their owners. Houses reflect the personality traits of their owners and the level of prosperity, therefore they are an important document of the era. The study made it possible to restore the location of individual quarters of four rural societies of the Votkinsk plant.
