Се́ргиев Поса́д (The Protocols and World Revolution) (Small, Maynard & Company 1920 ed. of the 1917 Russian) v. Сергвй Нилүсъ (cannot make accent over the “B”)
- I require assistance regarding Russian history and Language about "THE TOWN OF SERGIEV."
- What was this place in 1917 called, etc.
- And is "Town" a correct translation from the Russian of the time?

Checked against the Russian Wiki article on Sergiev Posad. Yes, the city was called Sergiev Posad (Сергиев Посад) until 1919; from 1919 to 1930 it was just Sergiev, from 1930 to 1991 Zagorsk, and since 1991 Sergiev Posad again.
It has been legally a gorod since the 18th century, which definitely can be translated as town (or even city).
Incidentally, the last vowel in "Сергѣй" is "ѣ" (Yat), rather than "в". The name of the writer is spelled "Сергей Нилүс" (Sergei Nilus) in modern Russian; it was spelled "Сергѣй Нилүсъ" in the pre-1918 spelling system. (In the spelling reform of 1918 the letter Ѣ, Yat, was replaced with е, as the two had had the same sound value since the middle ages, and the word-final ъ, Yer, was abolished, as it has not had a sound value since even earlier).
