Nizhnetoyemsky Selsoviet ((ロシア語:Нижнетоемский сельсовет)) is the low-level administrative division (a ''selsoviet'') of Verkhnetoyemsky District of Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia. It was formed along with other fourteen selsoviets in April 1924 and occupied the territory of the former Nizhnetoyemskaya Volost of the former Solvychegodsky Uyezd of Northern Dvina Governorate. The administrative center of the selsoviet is located in the village of Burtsevskaya, at the confluence of the Nizhnyaya Toyma and the Northern Dvina.〔 The volost had been attested through archive records since the 16th century, but its name, known since the 12th century, refers to ancient Finno-Ugric peoples that were then already extinct or assimilated. A station on the ancient trading route along the Northern Dvina River, in the end of the 17th century the volost became a hub of the Old Believers flight to the north.〔 The government suppressed the dissenters, the Russian Orthodox Church responded with continuous missionary activities, and in the 19th century the village was brought back into official Orthodoxy.〔 The craftsmen of the volost developed a unique school of folk painting, notable for its use of black, red and gilding over a white background. This art, limited to household artifacts like distaff boards and murals over log houses and Russian ovens, remained unknown to historians and collectors until Olga Kruglova rediscovered it in 1959.〔 ==Geography== A community in this area developed at the confluence of the Nizhnyaya Toyma and the Northern Dvina Rivers. The Nizhnyaya Toyma River freezes in November, thaws in late April or May, and allows commercial timber rafting.〔(''Nizhnyaya Toyma River'' entry ) in Russian in the Great Soviet Encyclopedia.〕 Its valley, with an area of 1740 square kilometers, is continuously covered with small hills and ridges.〔 These terminal moraine ridges mark the southernmost extreme of the prehistoric glacier expansion.〔Demidov et al., p. 330〕 Yury Arbat, an ethnographer who studied the folk art of Arkhangelsk outback in the 1960s, described the place:
At least some of these villages, according to Arbat, sported traditional large, spacious Pomor type log houses with carved balconies and traditional exterior murals in local style.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nizhnetoyemsky Selsoviet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
