Additional description
The mill from the village of Kalgachicha is one of six operating mills in Russia and the only active historical post-based mill (an operating post-based mill in Semyonkovo of Vologda region is a new mill with historical elements). The mill is started once a year: in September, during the Bread Festival.

There are several interesting details in the mill. Firstly, the stone nut can be disconnected from the brake wheel. To do this, the upper horizontal board, where the tailpole rests, has sort of a latch which helps to pull out the tailpole. Secondly, the height of the lower log where tailpole lies is adjusted by wedges from one side, as in all other mills, and by a threaded joint from the other side. Besides, the mill brake is quite massive, as in smocks. It surrounds the upper part of the brake wheel and is adjusted by the means of a long brake block - a beam.

Like the mill in Kimzha, the mill from the village of Kalgachikha was functionally restored by the Archangelsk team under the supervision of Alexander Nikonovich Davydov.
