Roslavl

Foundation of the city

Roslavl is one of the most ancient and at the same time most little-known cities in Russia. The first mention of this city dates back to 1137. According to legend, the original name of the city was Rostislavl. The city received its current name only in 1755. And the founder, according to ancient legends, was Prince Rostislav Mstislavich. Shortly before the founding of the city, the prince conquered the Radimichi and annexed their lands to his own. Rostislavl was supposed to become a stronghold of princely power.

The main population of the city were representatives of Prince Rostislav. The city was located far from trade routes and could not be a center for the development of crafts and trade. From 1197 to 1206, the city experienced economic growth. This may be evidence of the presence of the prince in Rostislavl.

Roslavl in the XIII–XVII centuries

But the prosperity ended in the 13th century. The Smolensk prince constantly quarreled with the feudal boyars. This weakened the military and economic power of the principality, which soon split into fiefs that were constantly at war with each other. Roslavl, as a result, found itself on the southern outskirts of the appanage principality. The Smolensk lands, already weakened by the pestilence of 1231-1232, suffered from constant civil strife, losing their remaining strength. The Lithuanian neighbors, who had long planned to seize the Smolensk principality, were finally able to carry out their plans. In 1239, Lithuanian feudal lords managed to capture Roslavl and Rudnya. The inhabitants of the principality were still able to recapture Roslavl by turning to Yaroslav Vsevolodovich, the Vladimir-Suzdal prince, for help. However, in 1258, Lithuanian feudal lords again attempted to capture the city. Roslavl and its surroundings were thoroughly devastated, but Lithuanian power failed to establish itself in the city.

In 1286, Roslavl was captured by the Bryansk appanage prince Roman. The prince wanted to subjugate the entire Smolensk principality to his power. Roman took advantage of the help of the Tatars. However, he failed to implement his plans. The prince's Smolensk brother, Alexander, was able to defend his right to occupy his throne. The Roslavl inheritance regained its independence for some time.

However, already in 1339 the Tatars invaded the Smolensk principality. Roslavl was one of the first to suffer. The Tatars were unable to capture the principality, but the border towns were burned and plundered. Now the threat came from the Lithuanian feudal lords. The feudal lords failed to capture the principality entirely. But the border cities, including Roslavl, were conquered. The Smolensk princes repeatedly tried to return the captured cities. It cost many people their lives. The final subordination of the principality to the Lithuanian feudal lords occurred under Prince Vytautas. For many years, the residents of Roslavl had to pay numerous taxes to the Lithuanian prince. Taxes had to be paid not only in money, but also in products: meat, grain, honey, etc. However, repayment in money was preferable. It could replace honey, grain and other products. Very often the replacement was forced. In addition to the tax to the Lithuanian prince, the population also had to pay the Smolensk ruler. The power of the Smolensk prince was recognized as weak.

To be freed from foreign rule, it was necessary to come under the authority of the Moscow princes. However, it wasn't that simple. It was possible to achieve the intended goal only after three long and bloody wars. In 1514, the troops of Vasily III were able to recapture the Smolensk principality. However, Roslavl and several other cities continued to remain in the hands of the Lithuanian boyars. The city managed to come under the rule of the Moscow princes only in 1522.

When, it would seem, the well-being of the Smolensk principality was restored, the Livonian War became another devastating disaster. Lithuanian feudal lords continued to advance on the western borders, repeatedly violating them. In 1563, one of the Lithuanian detachments managed to break through to Roslavl. However, the city residents successfully repelled the enemy attack.

Less than half a century later, Roslavl had to confront a new enemy. In 1610, the city was captured by the Poles and was no longer subordinate to the Russian sovereign, but to the King of Poland, Sigismund III, becoming part of the Smolensk Voivodeship of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Roslavl boyars themselves gave power into the hands of the Polish king, considering the enemy too strong. After the plunder of the city by the Poles, the boyars went with a bow to Sigismund, who stood near Smolensk. The king immediately took power and appointed Janusz Porycki as head of Roslavl. However, Polish rule did not last long. Already in 1654, Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich made a successful military campaign, as a result of which Roslavl was annexed to the rest of the Russian lands.

Roslavl after the October Revolution

During the October Revolution, the small town took an active part in revolutionary actions. The news of the change of power reached, first of all, the railway workers. They were immediately joined by oil mill workers. Having seized power in the city, they began to completely disarm the policeman and the gendarmerie. The Bolshevik organization that arose in the city after the liquidation of the power of the policeman and the gendarmerie was headed by the Roslavl doctor N. N. Konopatsky. The tasks of this organization included, first of all, work with the population, who needed to explain the essence of Lenin’s postulates.

Stalin's five-year plans also left their mark on the history of the city. Its administrative position changed several times. In 1929, Roslavl became the administrative center of the Roslavl Okrug, which included 11 rural districts. However, a year later, in 1930, the status of the city was changed due to the abolition of the administrative-territorial division. Now Roslavl became the center of the rural district of Zapadny (which eventually changed its name to the Smolensk region). Then Roslavl becomes a city of regional subordination. Since then, the administrative position of the city has not changed.

The economic heyday of Roslavl occurred precisely during the period of Stalin’s five-year plans. Many factories and enterprises that closed before or after the revolution were reconstructed and modernized. In 1929, a vegetable drying plant was put into operation, which had no analogues in the entire Smolensk region. In 1931, a machine and tractor workshop appeared in the city. And at the end of the 1930s, a poultry processing plant and a glass factory appeared in Roslavl.

The Great Patriotic War

During the Great Patriotic War, Roslavl, like many years ago for the Lithuanian feudal lords, became one of the main targets of the Nazi army. The city was captured at the very beginning of the war, in 1941. Fascist aircraft bombed most of the city. With the advent of the new “government,” life in the city stopped: clubs, cinemas, factories, and factories were closed. A small part of the population managed to leave Roslavl before the arrival of the Nazis. However, the majority decided to remain in their homes. The new order again made the residents of Roslavl dependent on the foreign invader. The fascist “rule” lasted 2 years. On September 25, 1943, Soviet troops entered the city and liberated it from the Nazis.

Modern Roslavl is a city with a population of 54.9 thousand people. The city is the administrative center of the Roslavl district of the Smolensk region.

Safonovo is a developing city

Safonovo also demonstrates a good level of development. Big cities are still a long way off, but the population is provided with good employment opportunities. There is an electrical machine-building plant on the territory of the city. There is a large complex for the production and development of plastics. Safonovo is an interesting example of a city that was able to begin to rapidly develop thanks to coal deposits. The population is also provided with public transport. There are railway tracks, trains, and bus services that allow you to get to Moscow and travel between districts of the city.

The Smolensk region with its small towns shows that sometimes they are the ones who are able to provide residents with a comfortable standard of living. The overall results for the region directly indicate the prospects and opportunities for development, as well as the provision of good infrastructure.
