History
It has been known since the Khanate of Kazan epoch as Yañasala (Tatar: Яңасала). In Russian, it has been known as Kokushkino (Russian: Кокушкино) until Lenin's death in 1924, when it was renamed Lenino (Ленино).
Lenin's family owned an estate here, which had been inherited from the family's maternal line (Blank family) and served as the family summer residence during Lenin's childhood and until his father's death. Lenin and his sister Anna also lived at the house in Kokushkino under a brief house-arrest, resulting from suspected involvement in his elder brother Alexander's revolutionary activity. The house where Lenin lived and spent his childhood summers mostly burned down in 1902, but the remaining part has been converted into a museum. In 1991, Lenino-Kokushkino Natural and Historical Reserve was established.
Economy
The main occupations of the residents are agriculture, cattle breeding, and poultry farming.

Why this record matters
The phrase “human settlement in Piträç District, Tatarstan” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4258219. VIAF identifies the subject as 127920065. The Library of Congress control number is n85359386. Authority coordinates are 55.828, 49.687. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2000, 1992, 1997 and 1924.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
