	MONUMENTS OF CHURCH ARCHITECTURE IN THE TOTMA REGION William C. Brumfield
		Located on the Sukhona River midway between Vologda and Velikii Ustiug, Totma is a small town of some 10,000 souls, and yet from its midst there rise some of the most dramatic forms of church architecture to be found anywhere in the north.
		As is often the case in Russia, the name of the town derived from the nearest river, which in turn derives from ancient pre-Slavic, Permian words that meant "damp area overgrown with bushes and firs."
		Yet present-day Totma is not near the Totma River, which flows into the Sukhona some seventeen kilometers downriver (i.e., to the northeast).
