Kabachischi

Kabachischi lies on the left bank of the Volga near its meeting with the Sviyaga. Across the river stands Sviyazhsk, founded in 1551 as a fortress for the campaign against Kazan. The Volga carried people and goods through this region long before the village of Kabachischi appeared. The nearby settlement of Gari was founded by migrants from Vyazovye in the early nineteenth century.
