Was there a Zarshunow, Russia or a place that sounded similar to Zarshunow?

A deceased relative's immigration document states that they came from a place called Zarshunow. We know she came from Russia back in 1916 but we can't find a place named Zarshunow. I thought it may have been an error if the name was misunderstood.

Do you have any more information? Which region of Russia you think she was from and so on?
