Ilyinsko-Podomskoye (Il’insko-Podomskoye)
Ilyinsko-Podomskoye (Ильи́нско-Подо́мское) is a rural locality (a selo) and the administrative center of Vilegodsky District of Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia, located on the right bank of the Viled River. It also serves as the administrative center of Ilyinsky Selsoviet, one of the ten selsoviets into which the district is administratively divided. Municipally, it is the administrative center of Ilyinskoye Rural Settlement. Population:
The area was populated by speakers of Uralic languages and then colonized by the Novgorod Republic. Eventually, the area became a part of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Ilyinsk (Ilyinsky Pogost, currently a part of Ilyinsko-Podomskoye) was founded in 1379. The foundation of the pogost is often credited to the activities of Stephen of Perm, who is credited by the conversion of Komi peoples to Christianity. In the end of 14th century, the lands along Viled River (including Ilyinsky Pogost) were given to Stephen, at the time the hegumen in the Ust-Vym Monastery, by Dmitry Donskoy, the Prince of Moscow.
The Stroganov family, which was based in Solvychegodsk and made their fortune by the salt production, had a number of estates on the Viled, which were user to grow horses for the salt production. The biggest Stroganov estate on the Viled was in Ilyinsk.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, Ilyinsk became a fortress due to its location on the main road from Moscow to Siberia, which went from Moscow to Veliky Ustyug and then to Cherdyn. The records show that in the 17th century Ilyinsk had two wooden churches. One of the first public schools in the North of Russia was opened here in 1848.
Ilyinsko-Podomskoye was created by merging Ilyinsk with the adjacent village of Podoma. Ilyinsko-Podomskaya Volost already existed in the 18th century.
Prior to 1918, the area of the present-day Vilegodsky District was a part of Solvychegodsky Uyezd. In 1918, the area moved to the newly established Northern Dvina Governorate, and in 1924 the uyezds were abolished in favor of the new divisions, the districts (raions). Vilegodsky District was established on April 10, 1924, with the district center located in Ilyinsko-Podomskoye.

The East Slavs emerged as a recognisable group in Europe between the 3rd and 8th centuries CE. The first East Slavic state, Kievan Rus', arose in the 9th century, and in 988, it adopted Orthodox Christianity from the Byzantine Empire. Rus' ultimately disintegrated, with the Grand Duchy of Moscow growing to become the Tsardom of Russia. By the early 18th century, Russia had vastly expanded through conquest, annexation, and the efforts of Russian explorers, developing into the Russian Empire, which remains the third-largest empire in history. However, with the Russian Revolution in 1917, Russia's monarchic rule was abolished and replaced by the Russian SFSR—the world's first constitutionally socialist state. Following the Russian Civil War, the Russian SFSR established the Soviet Union (with three other Soviet republics), within which it was the largest and principal constituent. At the expense of millions of lives, the Soviet Union underwent rapid industrialization in the 1930s, and later played a decisive role for the Allies of World War II by leading large-scale efforts on the Eastern Front. With the onset of the Cold War, it competed with the United States for global ideological influence; the Soviet era of the 20th century saw some of the most significant Russian technological achievements, including the first human-made satellite and the first human expedition into outer space.
