History
Savinskaya Volost already existed in the 19th century and was a part of Onezhsky Uyezd of Arkhangelsk Governorate. In 1929, Plesetsky District was established, which included Savinsky Selsoviet. In the years that followed, the territory of the selsoviet was modified several times; in particular, the urban-type settlement of Yemtsa was split in 1941. Savinsky was granted its current status on December 15, 1961.[9]
Economy
Industry
The biggest enterprise in the settlement is the cement plant, which was the first cement plant in Arkhangelsk Oblast and delivers cement to many works in north-western Russia. Other enterprises are in logging and timber processing.[1]
Transportation
Savinsky is located on the highway connecting Kargopol with one of the principal highways in Russia, M8 between Moscow and Arkhangelsk (the highways meet in the village of Brin-Navolok northwest of Yemtsa). This is the historic trading route which connected Kargopol with Arkhangelsk before the railroad was built, and long stretches of this road are still unpaved. This road in particular connects Savinsky with the railway stations in Plesetsk and Yemtsa (although the closest railway station is in Sheleksa). There is regular bus service to both Plesetsk and Yemtsa.
