Lyubun

Lyubun lies in the country west of Mosalsk, close to routes crossing the watershed of the Oka and Desna. The district was among the territories gained by Ivan III of Moscow in the 1503 agreement with Grand Prince Alexander of Lithuania. In the eighteenth century the village and surrounding deserted lands belonged to landowners of the Mosalsk district. Its position at a meeting of roads later made it a stopping place for goods travelling westward through the interior.
