Boguchany Township Explanation: п. = пос. = поселок Богучаны https://www.google.ru/#newwindow=1&q=Краслесинвест "п. Богуч... https://www.google.ru/#newwindow=1&q=Краслесинвест "пос. Бог... However, it should be distinguished from село = с. Богучаны which is apparently nearby поселок Богучаны but is a separate administrative unit. Богуча́ны (от эвенкийского «букачан» — «бугор», «холм», «остров»[3]) — село, административный центр Богучанского района Красноярского края. https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Богучаны Boguchany (Russian: Богучаны) is a rural locality (a selo) and the administrative center of Boguchansky District of Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia, located on the left bank of the Angara River. Population: 11,232 (2010 Census);[1] 11,386 (2002 Census);[3] 14,433 (1989 Census).[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boguchany_(rural_locality) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 47 мин (2016-10-25 09:29:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- P.S. 'Проспект' is usually abbreviated as 'пр-т' or 'пр-кт' to distinguish it from 'проезд' = 'пр.' -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 56 мин (2016-10-25 09:38:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- P.P.S. Earlier there was also 'пгт' or 'п.г.т.' = 'поселок городского типа', while 'д.' = 'деревня' should be distinguished from 'с.' = 'село' though both are translated 'village' but the difference is that 'село' is not only larger than 'деревня' but more importantly has had a church and is the site of local self-government bodies. |
