The Russian Village Historic District, also known as Churaevka (Russian: Чураевка), is a historic summer colony founded by George Grebenstchikoff and Ilya Tolstoy in Southbury, Connecticut. The colony was founded in the 1920s by Russian emigres, and retains distinctive Russian touches in the architecture of its houses, as well as a small chapel designed by Nicholas Roerich. The colony was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
