On the left bank of the Vorona River, near its confluence with Khoper, on the edge of the dense Tellerman Forest, lies the greenest city in the Voronezh region - Borisoglebsk. He owes his title to the activities of the scientist and forester I. Zakusin, who in the 1950s developed a plan for landscaping Borisoglebsk and over the next decade successfully implemented it.
The city traces its history back to May 15, 1698, and received the name Borisoglebsk in 1704 in honor of the holy passion-bearers Boris and Gleb.
History of the city of Borisoglebsk
To protect the Russian state from the devastating Crimean, Azov and Nogai raids, it was decided to build a defensive city in the southern part of Russia. The erected log fortress with five towers and four gates, surrounded by a rampart and a moat, was named Pavlovskaya.
The settlement around was made up of service people: archers, Cossacks, watchmen, pishchalniks and their families. There were two settlements at the fortress: Soldatskaya, intended for Russians, and Stanichnaya, mainly for Cossacks. The location where the city was built was not chosen by chance. The surrounding nature itself favored a successful defense. To the south and west of the city, the walls of the fortress were reliably protected by the waters of the Vorona and Khopra rivers. From the north they were covered by dense dense forest. The city quickly grew into adjacent settlements and its population increased.
Under Peter I: the main point for harvesting ship timber
During the reign of Peter I, Borisoglebsk served as the main point for the procurement of logs for the construction of ships of the Russian fleet. He attracted the emperor with his Tellerman oak ship timber. A new shipyard was established here. Simultaneously with large-scale logging, on the slipway of the Borisoglebsk shipyard, the construction of coastal sea vessels for the Azov flotilla and warships, such as “Good Beginning”, “Bezboyazn”, “Uniya”, was carried out. A large number of people flocked to the city.
In 1708, during the first administrative division of Russian lands into 8 provinces, Borisoglebsk became part of the Azov region. In 1719, when their borders changed, the city was assigned to the Tambov province, and in 1734 to the Voronezh province.
The last Tatar raid took place in 1713. Russia expanded its borders to the south, and Borisoglebsk gradually lost its military purpose. It has turned into a large shopping center. This was facilitated by the favorable geographical location, the proximity of rivers that open a waterway to the ports of the Azov and Black Seas.
Under Alexander I: modern urban development
In 1806, according to the master plan approved by Alexander I, the rectangular development of Borisoglebsk began, which has survived to the present day. The city was built from the river side strictly in a line, forming wide streets.
In the 19th century: the formation of the railway track
In the middle of the 19th century, the city was known as a major center of grain trade.
The years 1869-1871 were marked for him by an important industrial event: the construction of the Gryazi – Borisoglebsk – Tsaritsyn railway. By the end of the 19th century, 34 industrial enterprises were opened in Borisoglebsk, including soap-making, iron-smelting, lard-making and brick-making enterprises.
Particular importance was given to horse breeding; 25 stud farms operated on the outskirts of the city. A printing house opened in 1885. Construction developed rapidly. Many buildings from those years have survived to this day, becoming worthy monuments of the old city.
In the 20th century: development of the agro-industrial complex
In the 1920s, Borisoglebsk became a major agro-industrial center. A meat-packing plant, a brewery, a mechanical and iron foundry, and a flour mill were put into operation on its territory.
In the pre-war years, a policy of eliminating illiteracy was carried out in Borisoglebsk. Educational institutions were opened: a teacher's institute, a road technical school, and a secondary vocational institution for agricultural mechanization.
During the Great Patriotic War: a front-line city
During wartime, the formation of military units was actively underway in Borisoglebsk. More than one and a half thousand soldiers went to the front in the very first days of the war. Voronezh regional organizations were evacuated to the city. There were 15 evacuation hospitals located here.
It is interesting that during the entire war, not a single bomb fell on the city and not a single building was destroyed by the blast wave.
In the post-war years the city developed culturally. New kindergartens, schools, a cinema, a children's cultural center, a local history museum, a sports stadium, a music school and an art school are being built on its territory. Construction of a residential neighborhood is progressing rapidly.
Art Gallery named after P.I. Sholokhov

Twenty large industrial enterprises operate on its territory. 17 enterprises and 59 farms are engaged in agricultural activities. More than 91 thousand hectares of the district are agricultural land.
Borisoglebsk has a friendly sister city. This is Delmenhorst, a city in Germany. Over more than 25 years of cooperation, more than one and a half thousand representatives of both countries visited each other. For a long time, German buses with the inscription “A gift from Delmenhorst”, which the residents liked so much, walked along the streets of the city of Borisoglebsk.
Borisoglebsk is a well-greened city. It’s so pleasant to stroll along its streets, parks and squares on a hot day in the shade of tall fluffy trees. But the city is rich not only in its green space; on its territory there are 113 monuments of cultural history and architecture. Basically, these are church institutions, former merchant estates, trading shops, and well-decorated buildings of public institutions.

Three-meter bronze figures of saints are installed on a huge pedestal and together with it they are 7 meters high. The sculptures were cast at the Yekaterinburg plant; they required 2.5 thousand kg of bronze. The author of the project is the famous Moscow sculptor S. Polegaev.
The location of the monument was not chosen by chance. In the 18th-19th centuries, Starosobornaya Square was the center of the city. The most important issues were resolved here: the establishment of duties, recruitment, and city meetings were held. Therefore, it was decided to erect a monument to the main persons of the city, after whom it was named, in the very heart of this square, next to the Church of Boris and Gleb.

Crow managed to escape and, fleeing the chase, rushed into the dense forests. Vyatich Khoper saw her, picked her up while galloping and put her on his horse. They rushed to the gray Don, begging for protection, driven by their pursuers. The great Don waved his river blanket and hid the fugitives, turning them into the fast rivers Vorona and Khoper.
