One of the four villages built in the Komi Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in 1970-1980 for the residence of Bulgarian loggers (the other three are Usogorsk , Blagoevo and Mezhdurechensk [2] ) of the joint Soviet-Bulgarian production association Mezenles - Logging and Construction. Verkhnomezensk was removed from the rest of the villages, but at the same time well-maintained. In the village there was a school, a kindergarten, a culture house, a clinic, a bathhouse, a shop. One main street, a bridge across the Mezen river . It was registered on July 23, 1982 [3] , but construction began no later than 1976. In 1989, 86 people lived here [4] .
In 1994, after the termination of the contract with Bulgaria , the village was settled. The distance from the village to Koslan is almost 120 km. The road is in a broken condition.
In the late 1990s, the leadership of the Komi Republic, headed by Yuri Spiridonov, attempted to restore the village. The republican and central mass media covered the idea of creating the so-called “city of the sun” in Verkhnemezensk - a comfortable settlement for the rehabilitation of people with health problems [5] . However, the project was not implemented. In 2012, deputies of the district council recognized the village without a population as unpromising and turned to the government of the republic with a proposal to remove it from the register of settlements in Komi [6] .
Since 1984, Verkhneemezensk is an urban-type settlement. Transformed into a rural village in 1998 .
Currently, the village will be abandoned [7]
