Toploye or Toploe (Russian: То́плое) is a rural locality (a selo) in Maloserdobinsky district, Penza Oblast, Russia. There is an object of cultural heritage of the Penza Oblast — the St. Michael's church [ru]. The population was 513 (2010 census).
Geography
It is located 10 km south of Malaya Serdoba and 90 km south of Penza, near the border with the Saratov Oblast, in a steppe area.
History
The village was founded by General Pyotr Soimonov [ru] on land granted to him by decree of Empress Catherine II in 178. In 1800 it was inherited by his daughter Yekaterina Gagarina.
The first settlers were transported by Soimonov from the Nizhny Novgorod and Simbirsk governorates. In 1811, the village was called Soymonovo, Yekaterinino. The first street was built at the lake Tyoploye (lit. 'warm'), so from the 1820s the village began to be called by its current name. In 1834, a stone church was built and consecrated in the name of the Descent of the Holy Spirit with a chapel in the name of the Archangel Michael (now it is an architectural monument).
In the autumn of 1905, the village was burned down by a militant group of Malaya Serdoba peasants who had long-standing accounts with the Gagarins, who, according to their belief, seized their land, granted to the ancestors of the peasants in 1699 by Peter the Great. The rich Gagarin's archive was destroyed by fire.
