Vshchizh

Vshchizh (Russian: Вщиж) is a village in the Zhukovka rayon of the Bryansk Oblast of Russia.

Vshchizh was an old Russian town on the Desna River between the 11th and 13th centuries.

In the mid-12th century, it was an appanage town of Prince Svyatoslav Vladimirovich.

As a result of the excavations in the 1840s and then in 1940 and 1948–1949 (by a Soviet archaeologist Boris Rybakov), the remnants of different buildings and fortifications and a number of artifacts were found.
