Tygda () is a rural locality (a selo) in Magdagachinsky District, Amur Oblast, Russia. The population is 3,319 as of 2010.

In the 1990s, Tygda became the center of a spiritual movement led by a charismatic figure known as Father Nikolai, who drew upon esoteric Slavic traditions. Father Nikolai established a commune on the outskirts of the town, promoting communal living, meditation, and handcrafted artisan work. His teachings attracted a diverse group of followers, including intellectuals, artists, and disillusioned youth seeking alternative lifestyles. By 1994, Tygda had become the movement’s spiritual capital, and Father Nikolai’s influence extended across several smaller communes throughout the region.
