geography

With an area of ​​28,100 km², the Rajon is the second largest Rajon in Arkhangelsk Oblast, but also the least populous. The Leschukonski rajon is located in the east of the oblast. It is bordered by the Mesenski rajon in the north and the Pineschski rajon in the west. In the east there is a border with the Ust-Zilemski rajon and in the south with the Udorski rajon , both of which belong to the Komi Republic .

The area, in which there are numerous glacial lakes , is mostly covered with boreal coniferous forest (taiga). It is mainly located in the catchment area of ​​the Mesen river and its tributaries Mesenskaya Pishma , Sula , Kyma , Vashka , Kimsha and Pjosa . The Zilma , a tributary of the Pechora, also has its source in the far east . The northern part of the Timan Ridge runs through the Rajon .

history

The area of ​​today's Rajon was originally inhabited by Finno-Ugric peoples . In the 13th century, the first Slavic settlements emerged, which belonged to the Novgorod Republic and after its fall passed into the Grand Duchy of Moscow . Juroma (1513), Koinas (1554) and Uschtschelje (1614) are among the oldest named settlements on the Mesen.

Until the beginning of the 20th century, the territory of today's Raion belonged to the Mesenski ujesd within the Arkhangelsk Governorate . In 1917 areas of the Mesenski ujesd were spun off as Ust-Waschski ujesd with the center of Ust-Waschka (today Leschukonskoje). In 1925 the Ust-Waschski ujesd was dissolved and again part of the Mesenski ujesd .

The Mesenski ujesd was dissolved in 1929 through another administrative reform. The Ujesd area was part of the newly established administrative units Mesenski rajon and Leschukonski rajon , which became part of the Northern Krai . In 1936, the Northern Krai was transformed into the Northern Oblast and finally in 1937 it was divided into the Arkhangelsk and Vologda Oblasts. The Leschukonsky rajon became part of the Arkhangelsk Oblast.

Culture and sights

In the Leschukonski rajon there are still numerous pre-revolutionary wooden churches and houses, two of which are protected as historical and cultural monuments of federal importance. These include the wooden church of St. Nicholas of Myra ( Храм Николая Чудотворца ) built at the end of the 19th century and the Klokotow homestead in the village of Saoserje , built in 1879 . The Klokotow House belonging to the Klokotow homestead was transferred to the Malyje Korely open-air museum in Arkhangelsk in 2004 and rebuilt there.

The Leschukonskoje Historical Museum has been located in Leschukonskoje since 1984 ( Лешуконский районный историко-краеведческий музей ).

Economy and Transport

The timber industry is the main industry within the Rajon.

Due to the remote location, the lack of railway connections and the existence of only one regional road that can be used all year round, national passenger transport to Arkhangelsk is mainly carried out by plane. Besides the airport in Leschukonskoje there are three other smaller airports in Koinas, Olema and Woschgora.

In winter, the Mesen and the Waschka are accessible through ice roads , while in summer they are transported by ferry.
