History
The area was originally populated by the Finno-Ugric peoples 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.
