Yertsevo () is a rural locality (a settlement) in Konoshsky District of Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia, located west of Lake Vozhe. Population:
==History== Yertsevo was the location of the notorious Soviet concentration camp of the Gulag system before, during, and after World War II. The Yertsevo Camp Complex, one of over a dozen such complexes shared between Arkhangelsk and Vologda Oblasts, was established by the Soviet State Political Directorate secret service already in the 1930s. Since 1940, the camp was managed by the Kargopolsky ITL (Ispravitelno-Trudovoy Lager) directorate. It was located about from the forest where the prisoners cut lumber all day, year-round, usually up to their waist in snow, emaciated, and always hungry.
