Vershina[a] is a village in the Irkutsk Oblast, Russia, within the Bokhansky District, Ust-Orda Buryat Okrug, in the municipality of Sharalday.

The area was inhabited by the native population of Buryats, who helped settlers in the first years.

Thanks to the protest of local population, it never happened, however the church still remained closed, and its interiors were devastated.

[5] During the Soviet era, population was also forced into the russification, having to hide speaking Polish and practicing their Catholic religion.

[1] Historically, locally Polish language was written down with Cyrillic alphabet, as opposed to commonly used Latin script, however, in modern day, it is used instead.
