Kurmysh (Russian: Курмыш) is a rural locality (a selo) in Pilninsky District of Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Russia. It is located over 100 kilometres (62 mi) east of Nizhny Novgorod. Population: 1,037 (2010 census); 1,291 (2002 census). Kurmysh was founded in 1372 when Prince Boris Konstantinovich of Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal ordered its establishment on the Sura River ("постави город на Суре Курмыш нарече"). It was the easternmost Russian settlement for almost two centuries and it helped to consolidate Russian influence in the Volga region. As a result, it bore the brunt of attacks from the east. In 1406–1407, Grand Prince Vasily I of Moscow, bequeathed "Kurmysh with everything that came with it" to his son. In 1445, Vasily II was released from Kurmysh after being captured by Ulugh Muhammad of the Kazan Khanate and forced to pay a ransom. Following the capture of Kazan in 1552 by Ivan the Terrible, Kurmysh's position declined as the Russian fortress of Alatyr was established to the south. From the 1560s, it served as the administrative center of Kurmyshsky Uyezd within the Russian tsardom until 1708.
