The blueing and printing of fabrics has a long history in our village. Until the 19th century, the Prostatov family of craftsmen - fabric printers worked here. They mainly made blue-and-white fabrics dyed with indigo. In the villages along Lake Peipsi, masters of blue fabrics were called sinilniks.
