Okhozys

Okhozys is a term used in Russian to describe a type of rural settlement in Russia. The term is derived from the Russian words "okhota" meaning "hunting" and "zys" meaning "place." Okhozys are typically located in remote areas and are characterized by their isolation and reliance on subsistence farming and hunting for their livelihood. These settlements often have small populations, ranging from a few dozen to a few hundred people, and are usually surrounded by forests and wilderness.

Okhozys are often found in the northern and eastern regions of Russia, where the climate is colder and the terrain is more rugged. The inhabitants of these settlements are often indigenous peoples, such as the Nenets, Chukchi, and Evenks, who have lived in these areas for centuries. They have developed unique cultures and traditions that are adapted to their harsh environments.

Despite their isolation, Okhozys have played an important role in Russian history. During the Soviet era, these settlements were often used as bases for scientific research and exploration. Today, Okhozys continue to be an important part of Russia's cultural and natural heritage. They are also a reminder of the challenges and resilience of the people who have lived in these remote and harsh environments for generations.
