Privodino (Russian: Приводино) is an urban locality (a work settlement)[1] in Kotlassky District of Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia,[2] located on the left bank of the Northern Dvina River 23 kilometers (14 mi) from Kotlas.
[3] In the 19th century, it was the seat of Privodinskaya Volost, a part of Velikoustyugsky Uyezd of Vologda Governorate.
In 1918, the area was transferred to the newly formed Northern Dvina Governorate, and in 1924 the uyezds were abolished in favor of the new divisions, the districts (raions).
Privodino is located on the highway connecting Kotlas with Veliky Ustyug (and eventually Vologda and Kostroma).
Close to the settlement, there is a railway line connecting Yadrikha and Veliky Ustyug, with the Razyezd 15 km passing loop where the only train using the line used to stop before the passenger traffic was shut down in 2005.
