Sumino

Sumino lies on the Kubena, a river flowing through the northern forests towards Lake Kubenskoye. A church of Saint Nicholas at Frolovskoye in this district is recorded in a tax register of 1618, evidence of an established parish in the river country. The Kubena connected small settlements with the lake and, through the Sukhona and Northern Dvina, with the waterways leading to the White Sea.
