Kizhi maps of the late XIX c. show a one house village of Bosarevo located north of the village of Vasilievo. In 1911 there were 2 farmsteads in it. The village was formed between 1858 and 1869. It was founded by a native from the neighboring village of Vasilievo. At the end of the XIX c. there was just one farmstead in the village. 11 people lived there. They kept 2 horses and 4 cows. In the early XX century one of farmers of the village of Bosarevo was a parquet layer and, most likely, went for earnings to Saint Petersburg every season. The village ceased to exist after the Second World War.
