Preobrazhenskoye, Kamchatka Oblast
- Preobrazhenskoye, Kamchatka Oblast
Preobrazhenskoye ( _ru. Преображе́нское) was a village ("selo") in Aleutsky District of Kamchatka Oblast, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union, located on Medny Island in the Commander Islands group east of the Kamchatka Peninsula.
The village was founded in the 1800s by Aleut (Unangan) settlers from Attu Island in the Aleutian Islands. They were engaged in whaling and sealing with harpoons and spears. Fishing and hunting of whales and othermarine mammals were the mainstay of the economy there.
The village was abolished in the 1960s due to low population.[ [http://bering.narod.ru/rus/people/aleut.htm Командорские алеуты (краткая этно-историческая справка)] ru icon] ]
