Azeevo

Azeevo lies near the right bank of the Moksha, in a district with a long Tatar presence east of Kasimov. The village belonged to the Kasimov realm until its incorporation into the wider Russian administration. A census of 1761–1767 counted a large Tatar community here alongside a smaller number of Russian serfs. Its history reflects the enduring communities that remained in the region after the end of the Kasimov khanate.
