Troitsko Pechorsk

Troitsko-Pechorsk grew where the Northern Mylva joins the Pechora. The upper Pechora had long been used by Mansi hunters before Komi settlement expanded there in the seventeenth century. In 1674 peasants from several Komi districts founded the Kuzminsky settlement at the river mouth; four years later it had five households. A Church of the Trinity was built in 1707, and the place became a pogost. Some inhabitants later moved downstream and founded other Pechora villages. In 1798 Pechorskoye had thirty-nine households, whose residents lived chiefly by hunting and fishing.
