Podosinovets

Podosinovets lies on the Yug near the mouth of the Pushma. Its name recalls the little fortified town of Osinovets, mentioned in a chronicle in 1486. The Podosinovets pogost on the left bank of the Yug is recorded in the land books of Veliky Ustyug in 1626. In 1815 the merchant Yakov Gribanov moved his warehouses from the Pushma to a landing on the Yug. A two-story stone Church of the Nativity of the Virgin was built nearby in 1824, replacing two decayed wooden churches at the old pogost.
