The Old Believers, who had known each other for many years and lived in close proximity, and those who were in kinship with the Lykovs, said that they came to Siberia from the Nizhny Novgorod province and, having passed the Stone Belt, settled on the Iset River, a tributary of the Tobol. I do not know the exact date of the Lykovs' arrival in Siberia, but from the stories of relatives we know that Karp Osipovich's great-grandfather was born in the Yalutorovsk district of the Tobolsk province. The first of the Lykovs to come to Altai were the cousins ??Severyan and Yefim. The Tobolsk province, where they lived for several decades, the Lykovs left under Alexander the First. But the surname Lykov sounded much earlier in Altai. Compiling "The list of fugitive people who are hiding in the stone of various ranks and who entered the yasak with their families, perpetrated during the description of the Bukhtarma tracts of 1792", Untershihmaster Lavrenty Fedenev adds Ivan Lykov, a former peasant of the Anuisk settlement, to the list of fugitives. Who he is, when and where he came from in Anuiskaya Sloboda, whether he is a relative of these Lykovs, it is impossible to say now, and there is no need for this. Most likely a namesake. The Lykov brothers who came to Altai picked up the valley of the Isha River with the help of close acquaintances who had previously left here. It is a large right tributary of the Katun River. Isha is about 170 km long, and the basin area is over 3300 sq. km. Exceptionally fertile places. Fine soils, mixed forests and taiga wilderness, an abundance of fur-bearing animals and ungulates, in particular, the largest among real deer - the red deer and the Siberian roe deer (the latter was a great many). As for the fish, the Isha and its tributaries literally swarmed with these representatives of the aquatic kingdom. And the herbaceous vegetation in the Altai Mountains! By the variety of species, the place is rare, and by the size of the plants it is not so easy to find such places. The horse, along with the rider, easily hides in the grass. In general, it must be said that in the Northeastern Altai and foothills, where the most humid places, gigantism is observed in the plant world. The height of the grass cover reaches two or more meters. Many types of herbs bloom for a long time, so the honey harvest is rich, and the quality of the local honey is one of the best. In addition, Gorny Altai and its foothills abound in many valuable medicinal plants. After all, it is very important to always have a natural pharmacy at hand for the treatment and maintenance of health. That attracted such places. It was not for nothing that the people said that where the Old Believers live, the places are rich: Kerzhaks will not live in a bad place. The Lykovs settled in the village of Karagayka, located in the valley of a small river of the same name, a tributary of the Isha. This village was founded around 1800 by Old Believers who came from Russia and the Tobolsk province. We settled in quickly. With centuries of experience, taking into account almost everything that was required to create, first of all, stocks of food, fodder for livestock and horses and housing, all migrants, working, as the people said, tirelessly, in a short time created tolerable conditions for life. A little later, Severyan's son Yakov left Karagayka with his young wife and settled on the left bank of the Katun in the village of Nizhnyaya Kayancha, Aiskaya volost. Their relative Praskovya Lykova also settled there. These families are out of luck. Now it is difficult to say how they angered the authorities, what caused the persecution, it is only known that all the Lykovs were distinguished by their firmness in faith, courageous judgments and open statements about the tsar and the Orthodox Church. Apparently, intemperance in conversations was the bone of contention, and at the very beginning of the 20th century, the authorities took up these families thoroughly - right up to the interim governor-general. And on November 10, 1906, his order to the Biysk police chief appeared, which said: "... For extremely vicious behavior, evict the peasants Kirill and Illarion Isaev and Yakov
