To develop a general picture of the edge of the Veliky Ustyug district, I need to talk about the village of Pervomaiskoye (The 1st of May's village). Previously, it belonged to the Victorian rural settlement and was its center. But the unification and optimization affected this settlement as well - now it is Zarechnoye, like many others. But I would call this village two-river sideline, since it is separated from Veliky Ustyug not only by the river Severnaya Dvina, but also by the river Luza.

What can be said about any village or village in the outback of Russia - once life boiled here, but now devastation. So like this is everywhere.

The number of residents does not reach up to 100 people, so cellular communication is unlikely to be conducted here. But they will make wired Internet in the culture house so that the residents can communicate without any restrictions with children and other relatives in social networks.

In any village, dogs are always the first to meet.

First, they meet with a terrible look, then sniff us and then become friendlier.

Local residents in the house of culture at the meeting. The main problem: there is no medical care.

The roads are good, but only in winter ...

Nearby is the Luza River.

There are shops and a post office.

People here live out their time.

I noticed that in many settlements where there is a ruined church, it is either restored, or if it is not subject to restoration, then a chapel is built nearby.

Next, I must write something about a bad life, about the depths of Russia, about the place forgotten by God, but it is already so worn out that it does not cling.

Therefore, just the kinds of ruined church.

And the countryside.

In Pervomayskoye I'm unlikely to ever visit again...it's difficult to get here in the summer, and there's nothing to do here.

It is the place where you can  rest from civilization in the countryside in the fresh air.

Go fishing, for mushrooms, berries....here it is full!

Behind this village there are a couple more settlements, but I do not know about their condition.

Identical baths.

The school is all....abandoned.

The most epic photo from all of Pervomaisky! Not bad someone perpetuated himself.

Now I have officially visited all the administrative centers of my district! Pervomaiskoye was more for a tick, but in memory it still remains (and in the blockchain too).
