Preobrazhenskoye


 

Preobrazhenskoye (Cyrillic: ??????????????) is a village on Mednyi Island in the Komandorski Islands east of Russia. The village was founded in the 1800s by Aleut (Unangan) settlers from Attu Island in the Aleutian Islands. They engaged in whaling and sealing with harpoons and spears. Fishing and hunting of whales and other marine mammals is still the mainstay of the economy there.
