Pogost is one of the oldest settlements in the Soligorsk district. There is no consensus among scholars on the name of the term "Pogost". Only in the Republic of Belarus 8 settlements Pogost. The first explanation for this term is found in the Tale of Bygone Times, which states that "Pogost is a rural tax district in Ancient Russia, introduced by Princess Olga in 947." Earlier, the prince and his wife came to the settlement and collected tribute from the inhabitants. History (from the Greek historia) is a story about the past, about what has been studied. History is a complex of social and human sciences that studies a region, a people or a group of peoples. History is a science that studies the past of mankind in all its concreteness and diversity.
History determines the laws of historical development, which is achieved by identifying and studying facts, events and processes. Concrete historical material forms the basis of historical science, and if there is no such material, then there is no history as a science.
History is what was, not what could be, and not what one wants to be.
