Loshchinka (Russian: Лощи́нка) is a village located in the Siberia taiga in Rybinsky District, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia.[2][3][4] In 2018 and 2019, its population was around 25 residents.[2][4] A state-owned sovkhoz existed nearby until the early 2000s, which formerly provided jobs for village residents.[2] There is 4 streets.

As of 2018, foods are typically delivered to the village by truck, and water is pumped in via pipeline due to no wells existing in the village.[2] Shops that used to exist had closed long ago.[2] Most of the village's residents are highly reliant upon pension payments from the state, which provides a subsistence-level of income.[2] As of 2018, a medical clinic exists, but it was reported that its owner has plans for retirement.[2]
