Reshma (Russian: Решма) is an abandoned Soviet air base in Russia located 17 km (11 mi) east of Kineshma.[4][3]

It was hastily constructed in summer 1941 after the German attack on the Soviet Union.[5] It was an auxiliary airstrip of the Kineshma airport (also dismantled) and only traces of it remained.[1][6]
