History
Premicronational history
Vasilevo was founded in the XVII century. According to one version, the village got its name in honor of a famous robber named Vasily, who moved here from the banks of the Vyatka River and once wandered in the local area, robbing merchants passing by. Vasily founded a village here. Translated from the Mari Vasilievo-Vas sola — the village of Vasily.
In 1693, it became part of the Raifa desert. It is known that on the territory of the modern village there were two settlements-Vasilevo and Odintsovo; the latter was located somewhere at the mouth of the Bag, in the area of Kalinin, Lenin and Sportivnaya streets.
Approximately at the turn of the 1850s-1860s, Vasilevo became part of the Ilyinsky parish. In the XIX century, there is a noticeable increase in the population, an economic leap is noticeable at the beginning of the XX century, which is associated with the development of industry and the construction of the railway in 1893. In May 1893, auctions were held for land plots located in the village of Vasilevo near the railway itself (the territory of the current sanatorium "Vasilevsky"). In the summer, merchants lived in the dachas. Since 1894, the dacha committee began to work, the construction of dachas began in 1895. In the same year, 1894, the opening of the Vasilevo railway station took place.
In 1872, the construction of a stone church in honor of the Exaltation of the Holy and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord began in the village of Vasilevo, in which on July 25, 1897 (according to the new style), on the day of the celebration of the icon of the Mother of God "Troeruchitsa", the Divine Liturgy was celebrated by St. John of Kronstadt.
In 1928, Vasilevo became an urban-type settlement.
Until 1938, the village was part of the Arsky canton, in the period from 1938 to 1958 — as part of the Yudinsky district. In 1928, there were 300 houses in the village, there were: 1 outpatient clinic, an elementary school, a rest house for 200-300 people, a glass factory, since 1926-a sawmill. By 1953-1257 houses, microdistricts were opened: "Novy Mir", "Zhilkooperatsiya", "Levanevsky", "Lesokombinat".
Micronational period
On October 24, 2020, the first micronation in these places - Portasia, which is now an integral part of the empire, was founded on the territory of the village. At the time of its foundation, it was decided to locate it on the territories of the exclaves of the Republic of Tatarstan, except for those on the territory of which settlements were located, because of which the country had no capital, and the government of the state headed by Amir Khairov (the current emperor) was located outside its borders. All this provoked the subsequent transfer of the entire country directly to the village of Vasilevo.
The state steadily developed and grew in the period between October 24, 2020 and January 3, 2021, when a turning point in the history of the state occurred. It was then that an unsuccessful attempt was made to hold elections. Among the candidates there were a number of personalities, including A. Moragiev and O. Suschik, who accused the government of Amir Khairov of falsifying the elections. On January 3, Sushchik and Moragiev created a Commandant's office headed by them. In response, Amir Khairov received the title of the Father of the Nation. On January 5, the next presidential election was held, which was won by Sushik, which was contested by Amir Khairov.
On January 14, the League of Independent States issued a decree on the abolition of all micro-national entities on the territory of Portasia, which further aggravated the situation in the country, which split into the Vasilyevsky Kingdom and Portasia. For the sake of ending the troubles, Amir Khairov decided to establish the Vasilievsky Empire, which after a while settled on the half-dead fragments of Portasia, concluding peace with most of them.
By mid-March, a stable state of affairs was established in the country for a while, the country began to develop diplomacy and friendly relations with a number of developed microstates, however, against the background of the Integralist-Ramland conflict, in which Vasilevo (Bakhetiya) supported Ramland, led by Suschik, the country temporarily lost its sovereignty, which was undermined by New Eastland, which declared the country's territories part of its own, however, after the Seven-Day War between Ramland and Suoria, New Eastland was abolished, and Bakhetiya gained independence, which it possesses by this day.
