Konyovo

Konyovo lies on the Onega, the river flowing north from Lake Lacha to the White Sea. The locality is recorded in the 1555–1556 survey of the Ustmosh district of Kargopol. The river linked its communities to Kargopol upstream and the Pomor coast downstream. Travellers from the Onega country brought salt from the coastal works to Kargopol, where merchants from the interior purchased it for the journey south.
