 In case of Bronnitsy in Moscow Oblast, all proposed versions were contested and none gained a solid preference of the historians.The latter version is supported by the fact that another, and older, village once named Bronnitsy, present-day Bronnitsa on Msta River, also evolved as a yam station.Historical center of Bronnitsy stands on the southern bank of narrow and shallow Lake Belskoe, a former path of Moskva River that is now completely cut off the river.
