Povalikha

Povalikha (Повалиха in Cyrillic) is a village in the Altaisky Krai (Altai Territory) of Russia. It is located in the Pervomaysky District.

The name likely derives from the Russian verb "повалить" (povalit'), meaning "to knock down" or "to fell," suggesting a connection to felling trees or perhaps a natural event like a landslide or powerful wind that knocked something down in the area where the village was established. Place names derived from such descriptions are common in Russia.

Information on the village's specific history, economic activities, and population size might require consulting Russian language sources, such as regional administrative databases, historical archives, and local publications.
