The village of Gubino is located between the Klyazma and Nerskaya rivers and Sengoy-ozero, 25 kilometers from the Orekhovo-Zuyevo station. According to oral legends, Gubino (formerly the village of Gubinskaya) has existed for about 300 years. The name of the village comes from the destructive, godforsaken, swampy area around the village, where the Old Believers, persecuted by the tsar and the authorities, hid.
After 1861, the Kokunovs, Old Believer merchants from Guslitsa, moved here. Tikhon Aleksandrovich Kokunov soon built a one-story brick building for a weaving and dyeing and dressing factory with kerosene lighting. Serapion Aleksandrovich Kokunov opened a weaving factory in a two-story building. In total, the Kokunovs had 250 hand looms at their factories. Kuzma and Stepan Kokunov owned peat machines. Industrial peat mining in the vicinity of Gubin began in 1913. The Gubinskoye swamp belonged to the Likinsky peat mining.
The Old Believer Kazan Church in the village of Gubino was built in 1876-89 as a prayer house, with funds from the manufacturers Serapion and Tikhon Kokunov.
The church is a cultural heritage site of regional significance
