History
The village was first mentioned in 1556 in the records of the Kargopol Uyezd. Until the 1980s, a village named Podol existed near it, which was called Vesinskaya before the revolution. According to local historians and residents, the old name of the village is linked to the once-inhabited Ves people of the Finno-Ugric tribes. In 1562, the "Letters of Nikita Grigoryevich Yakhontov and Companions from the Kargopol Books" mentioned the "Nicholas Pogost and the Church of Nicholas the Miracle-Worker." In 1651, due to its dilapidation, the Nicholas Church was dismantled, and a Trinity Church was built in its place, which was destroyed by lightning on June 3, 1789.
