It is located 13 kilometers (8.1 mi) from Vilyuysk. Its population as of the 2010 Census was 303,[3] of whom 166 were male and 137 female, up from 267 recorded during the 2002 Census was 267.[1]
History
This settlement's village hall is said to be the remains of a leper hospital inspired by the British explorer Kate Marsden who travelled the length of Russia to find a cure for leprosy she had been told about. Marsden never said what the herb was. The heir apparent is now said to be a herb called kutchutka which was mentioned in an 1899 Sakha dictionary. One local herbalist told researchers in 2008 that it was so rare that he had not seen it recently. The researchers found the buildings that had made up the leprosarium that had closed in 1962. The village hall carries a plaque recording the centenary of Marsden's visit.[5]
