Vyazemka (Penza region)

Located in the north-west of the region, 210 km from Penza . The distance to the district center of Zemetchino is 18 km.

The climate is temperate continental .

Viscous - from Slavic to get stuck. All around the marshes of the swamp. On the Vyazemka river on which the village of Vyazemka stands, huge elms grow, which gave the name of the river. Villages with the name Vyazemka are known in other localities of the Great Russians.

The inhabitants of the village are culturally connected with the culture of the inhabitants of the North-East of Ryazan. Initially, the settlement of the ancestors of the tsurans Vyazemki, B. and M. Izhmor and Ushinki) was on the banks of the Vysh River and the village was called Dukhovskoye. It was inhabited, according to legend, in the 16th century. After the fire in the 17th century, it was divided into three villages - Vyazemka, Izhmora and Ushinka.

The name was given to the village along the Vyazemka river, from the Slavic to get stuck. The Vyazemka River flows through viscous, swampy lowlands. Until the 1940s, elms grew on the banks of the river, the bark of which went to bast shoes. From the southwest to the northwest Vyazemka was surrounded by impenetrable swamps drained in the middle of the 20th century. With the drainage of the swamps, the river bed was simultaneously changed. Now it flows straight, and earlier its channel outside the village (behind Bolshaya ulitsa) turned into meadows that are located along the gardens of Kontsa Street, turned to the Vyshi River and then flowed along Zagati (a forest along the right bank of the Vysha River). The Vyazemka River flowed into the Vysha in the same place where it is now - on the Klin, beyond Zagat.

The first written records of the village date back to the late 17th century (1692). The village is referred to as “Vyazemka”, the patrimonial village, and then the village of the Moscow Annunciation Cathedral in the Kremlin.
