Yusva

Yusva takes its name from the river beside which it stands; in the Permic languages the name means “swan water.” The village was known in the days of Great Perm and appears in a land register of 1579 as Yusva on the Yusva River. Nearby stood a burial ground with a church dedicated to Saint George, from which the settlement also acquired the name Georgievsky Pogost. Great Perm had entered the Grand Duchy of Moscow in 1472, before the village's written record.
