Nyuksenitsa

Nyuksenitsa stands on the left bank of the Sukhona, where a smaller river of the same name reaches the larger waterway. The village first appears in a survey of the Totma district in 1619, when it consisted of five households. The Sukhona linked this small settlement in the northern forests with Totma upstream and Veliky Ustyug downstream, carrying travellers and goods towards the Northern Dvina. Its name preserves that of the stream that divides the village.
