Koptyuga

Koptyuga lies between Lake Ydzhidty and the left bank of the Vashka, a tributary of the Mezen. Known in Komi as Kopty, the village appears in a record of 1608 with six occupied households. Its setting among forest, river and lake is characteristic of the Vashka country, where small settlements line a waterway flowing northwest towards the Mezen and the White Sea.
