NEVSKY SETTLEMENT (in the present-day academic literature, it is also called the Nevsky Estuary), a Russian trade settlement at the confluence of the Okhta River and the Neva River. It was first mentioned in the Votic Fifth's Scribe Book of 1500 as "a village at mouth of Okhta on the Neva". Information about Nevsky Settlement is incomplete; the settlement probably fell into neglect between the 16th -17th centuries during the Time of Troubles.
