Voskresenskoye

Voskresenskoye lies on the Vetluga, a forest river flowing south to the Volga. The village is recorded in 1614, in a district of woods and waterways north of the great river. The Vetluga gave its settlements a route toward the Volga, while forests supplied timber and formed a broad belt between the cultivated clearings. Its riverbank position placed Voskresenskoye within the long history of settlement along the Vetluga valley.
