Did Yertsevo not exist before it became a Gulag camp site? Or is the pre-Soviet Union history just missing in the article? Nakonana (talk) 16:23, 8 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

The history section on ruwiki starts at the end of the 17th century, so it looks like there's some history missing. Nakonana (talk) 16:25, 8 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

Generally speaking the History section is mistitled because it only deals with the Yertsevo Gulag but not with the history of the settlement itself. Nakonana (talk) 16:30, 8 April 2026 (UTC)Reply
