Volosovichy

Volosovichy lies in the wooded country near Chachersk, east of the Sozh. A burial ground of numerous mounds near the village testifies to settlement in the area long ago. The surrounding Chachersk lands formed part of the principality of Chernihiv and later the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, before passing to Russia in the first partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1772.
