Kuzhbal

Kuzhbal stands in the wooded country near the Nelsha, a tributary of the Neya in the Unzha basin. A survey of the Parfenyevo district records a churchyard here with a wooden church of the Resurrection. Its icons, books, vestments, vessels and bells were provided by the parishioners. The name belongs to a landscape whose rivers and villages preserve older layers of local speech, among the forests east of Galich.
