Vasilsursk, Work settlement near Sura River, Russia

Located at the confluence of Sura and Volga rivers, Vasilsursk stands at 100 meters elevation in the Vorotynsky District of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast.

The settlement emerged in 1523 following Russian forces capturing a wooden fortress of Kuruk Mari people, establishing a strategic outpost during the Russo-Kazan Wars.

Residents of Vasilsursk maintain traditional social structures through monthly registrations at local law enforcement offices, following established rural community practices.

Transportation between Vasilsursk and Lysaya Gora operates through ferries during summer months and specialized Khivus-10 amphibious vessels during winter season.

The Sura Ionospheric Heating Facility near Vasilsursk conducts research on the upper atmosphere, making it a center for scientific investigation.
