Igra

Igra, known in Udmurt as Egra, was a settlement of the Loza River country. Its earliest documentary mention dates to 1615, in the survey books associated with the governors Fyodor Zvenigorodsky and Vasily Zhemchuzhnikov and the clerk Mikhail Odintsov. The record places the village within the administrative geography of the Vyatka country in the early seventeenth century.

By the census of 1678, Igra on the Loza contained 43 households and 185 inhabitants. Research on northern Udmurt settlement counts it among the larger Udmurt villages recorded in that census, alongside Balezino, Ukan and Porga. Local tradition also remembers the clans that established settlements at the site and the springs associated with their religious life. Written enumerations and these inherited memories preserve different aspects of the village's beginnings: the households counted by officials and the kinship communities through which inhabitants understood their place.
