Tervenichi

Tervenichi lies in the lake and forest country south of the Svir, among the old rural districts of Novgorod. It is named as a tribute-collecting place in a thirteenth-century addition to Prince Svyatoslav Olgovich’s charter. A later list of the upland Obonezhskaya church districts includes the church of St Michael at Tervenichi. The pogost was a centre for villages spread through the wooded hinterland between the Pasha and the Svir.
