On the Uhra River lies the Petrovskoye area. Until 1923, like Garitsy, these lands were part of the Romanovsky district. Although the village no longer exists, the village church has survived. The stone church of the Assumption of the Mother of God, with altars in honor of the Assumption of the Mother of God, St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, and the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul, was built presumably in the 1790s. The square base, refectory, apse, and bell tower have remained almost in their original form. The southern and northern facades have lost their porticoes, and only pilasters remain from the decor. The church was closed in 1934 and used as a grain storage. Around the church are the remnants of a cemetery, but the fence has not survived.
In this village, Aristarh Alexandrovich Izrailev was born, who became a protodeacon in Rostov, as well as a musician, local historian, and acoustician. He was the first to tune church bells and invented a device for measuring the frequency of sound vibrations, which was considered the most accurate at that time.
