Vezhakary

Vezhakary is a Khanty settlement on the left bank of the great Ob, in a country of forests, channels and floodplain lakes. Known in records from the late eighteenth century, it was associated with a sacred place and with the families who lived along the river. People from the Kazym also travelled to Vezhakary, connecting this community with neighbouring Khanty groups across the Ob basin.
