Chinyaikha (Russian: Чиняиха), or Chinyayev, Chinyayevsky, is an island on Lake Chany, which is located in Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia.
Archaeological excavations
In 1928, Omsk archaeologist Varvara Levashova investigated two burial mounds and the ancient settlement on the island. [1]
Clay toys
Fragments of children's clay toys are found on the island, which have a number of features: they are compressed vertically, the hands are pressed and folded on the stomach. The Chinyaev toy appeared in the 18th century as a folk memory of unusual creatures that, according to local legends, lived on the islands of Lake Chany. There are toys depicting birds, animals, mythological characters ( vodyanoys, rusalkas, the most fantastic forms of fish etc.). These toys have a terrible and gruff appearance. In 2014, the toy was presented at The First All-Russian Festival of Folk Culture in Sochi. [2] [1]
Legends
There are two versions of one legend about this island. [3]
