The village of Proleyka, founded in 1745, is located on the edge of the Vershiny ravine. According to local legend, surveyors from Melekess, now known as Dimitrovgrad, accidentally spilled a vow by the stream, which gave the village its name. The first residents were settlers from Melekess, factory workers, so many bore the surname Zavodskye. The village was known for its prosperity: there were 296 households, a church, two schools, a zemstvo school and a church school, five brick factories, and two windmills.

In 1886, parishioners built a wooden church with a bell tower that accommodated up to 400 people and was consecrated on December 29, 1892, in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. The church staff consisted of a priest and a psalmist, funded by donations, state salaries, and community resources. They lived in wooden houses provided by the community.

The church school opened in 1891 and became a single-class school in 1902. It was located in its own building and was maintained by the parishioners' funds. Since 1891, the church's charitable committee operated in Proleyka, playing an important role in the religious education of the Samara Chuvash. It was here that active extracurricular education for non-Russians in the Samara diocese began.

The Kazan church was closed in the 1930s, the building was repurposed as a club, and in 1950 it was removed from the register due to dilapidation. Today, one can see the ruins of the former church in the center of the village.
