Shuyskoye

Shuyskoye stands on the right bank of the Sukhona between the mouths of the Shuya and Sheybukhta. Its name comes from the Shuya, a river whose name has been traced to Finno-Ugric words for a marsh and stream. The Sukhona runs east from Lake Kubenskoye towards the Northern Dvina, and the wooded riverbanks provided a setting for the old settlements along this northern waterway.
