Рязанская губерния
Before the Revolution, "guslyaki" (residents of Guslitsa) were known for their criminal tendencies and a propensity for horse-stealing. A large number of horse thieves were from Yelizarovo and Kostino. Stolen horses were usually sold in nearby Yegoryevsk, which at the time was a part of Ryazan Governorate and thus not in jurisdiction of the Moscow Governorate's police.
