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.

Monuments of Borisoglebsk: significant objects for city residents
Memorable events closely connected with the land of Boris and Gleb, immortalized in monuments.
Space Monument: Real Capsule
The opening of the hemispherical memorial sign “Descent module of the transport manned spacecraft “Soyuz TMA-20M” took place on April 13, 2022 in the park near the entrance of the Borisoglebsk instrument-making plant.
The city residents received this gift from the General Director of Roscosmos D. Rogozin in memory of the great Borisoglebsk resident - Hero of the Soviet Union Mitrofan Nedelin. He was an outstanding military leader, the first commander-in-chief of the Soviet missile forces, chief marshal of artillery, who contributed to the development of Russian cosmonautics. In 1960, M. Nedelin, participating in tests at Baikonur, tragically died in the explosion of an R-16 rocket.
The installed space capsule is also related to Borisoglebsk. It was on it that American NASA astronaut Jeffrey Williams and Russian cosmonauts landed on earth: flight engineer Oleg Skripochka and tester Alexey Ovchinin, a graduate of the Borisoglebsk Flight School.
Location: South-Eastern microdistrict, Yuzhny Park.
Monument to Russian princes Boris and Gleb: symbol of the city
The solemn opening ceremony of the country's second monumental monument to the first Russian saints Boris and Gleb was timed to coincide with the day of the Holy Princes of the Passion-Bearers Boris and Gleb and the day of the city of Borisoglebsk - May 15, 2022.
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.
Where is it: Starosobornaya Square, st. Sadovaya, 17.
Monument to Nikolai Rybnikov: Borisoglebsky actor near the Borisoglebsky cinema

This place has become one of the most favorite places for photo shoots for residents and guests of Borisoglebsk. Fans of the actor love to sit next to the bronze figure.
Once upon a time, Nikolai Rybnikov was born and grew up on Borisoglebsk land, studied at a local school. Having ascended to the stage of theater and cinema, he won the love of his contemporaries during his lifetime. Being an accomplished actor, N. Rybnikov returned to his small homeland only once, but the memory of him as a fellow countryman was preserved by the residents of Borisoglebsk forever. After N. Rybnikov’s death, he returned to his hometown in the form of a monument, where he remained forever. The author of the sculptural composition is V. Grishchenko.

Borisoglebsk is a historical city in Russia
Administration of the Borisoglebsk urban district 397160 Voronezh region, Borisoglebsk, st. Svobody 207 reception: (47354) 6-05-01, (47354) 6-22-67 website
Located in the northeast of the Voronezh region at a distance of 204 kilometers from Voronezh and being the administrative center of the Borisoglebsk urban district, the city of Borisoglebsk is among 7 cities of the Voronezh region (Bobrov, Boguchar, Borisoglebsk, Voronezh, Novokhopersk, Ostrogozhsk, Pavlovsk) was included in 1990 a list of historical settlements in Russia, approved by resolutions of the board of the Ministry of Culture of the RSFSR, the board of the State Construction Committee of the RSFSR and the presidium of the Central Council of VOOPIiK.
View of Boris and Gleb Cathedral (1900)
However, in July 2010, by a joint order of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Regional Development of the Russian Federation, that list was reduced by more than 11 times - from 478 to 41. Moreover, officials who manage the culture and development of Russian regions, according to their own concepts, from the federal list along with all 7 Voronezh historical cities erased such historically significant settlements as Moscow, Veliky Novgorod, Pskov, Uglich, Pereslavl-Zalessky. At the same time, as you understand, all these cities have not become any less significant and continue to remain large and small historical centers of Russia in the eyes of Russians. Therefore, leaving behind the officials the right to decide on paper the issues of whether a particular settlement belongs to the historical values of Russia, let’s turn to real life, in which Borisoglebsk was, is and will remain a historical city of our region and our country.
Borisoglebsk from a bird's eye view
Borisoglebsk was founded in 1698 on a plateau near the Vorona River, which flows nearby into the Khoper River, as a wooden fortress on the outskirts of the Russian state. According to the chronicler, this was done “to protect” from the raids of the restless Crimean, Azov and Nogai people, who “walked around as exiles and they fought all over the place, beat people and killed all sorts of servicemen and district people.”
Originally called Pavlovsk, from 1704 the fortress began to be called Borisoglebsk - after the name of the cathedral church, consecrated in honor of princes Boris and Gleb, the sons of Vladimir the Holy, killed in 1015 and canonized as Orthodox saints.
Monument to Boris and Gleb on Starosobornaya Square
At the end of the 17th century, in connection with Peter the Great’s preparation for a campaign against the Turkish fortress of Azov, shipyards were founded on the Khopra and Voron rivers. In this regard, Borisoglebsk acquired special significance, becoming a temporary depot for the procurement of ship timber, the felling of which took place in the vicinity of the city in the so-called Telerman forest.
Simultaneously with logging, coastal ships for the Azov flotilla, as well as several fairly large warships, were built on the stocks of the Borisoglebsk shipyards, and among them were the “Good Beginning”, “Unia” and “Fearlessness”.

By the middle of the 18th century, Borisoglebsk had turned into a trading and craft city - one of the largest points in Russia for the purchase and sale of grain, livestock, agricultural products and timber. The city annually hosted 3 large fairs: Kazan (summer and autumn) and Three Saints (January). And the city’s coat of arms, approved in 1781, was the result of recognition of its administrative and economic role in state affairs: five bags of bread placed one on top of the other denoted the main wealth of the region.
From the 18th to the 19th centuries, large farms of the Volkonsky, Gagarin, Kondoidi landowners, and the Anosov merchants arose on the lands of Borisoglebsky district.
Borisoglebsk at the end of the 19th century
A special place in the history of the city is occupied by the activities of the Borisoglebsk landowner Prince S. M. Volkonsky, a prominent theater figure and grandson of the Decembrist S. G. Volkonsky.

In the spring of 1918, S. G. Volkonsky organized the first exhibition in Russia dedicated to the Decembrists in Borisoglebsk.
Monument to M. Gorky on the station square of Borisoglebsk
One of the pages in the life of the writer Maxim Gorky is connected with Borisoglebsk, who in 1889 - 1890 worked as an artel worker at a commodity checkout and as a warehouse guard at a warehouse at the railway station. He subsequently described this in the story “The Watchman,” first published in the fifth issue of the Krasnaya Nov magazine in 1923.
Monument to Fighters for Soviet Power
During the Civil War, Borisoglebsk was located in the combat zone between the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army, on the one hand, and the Volunteer and Don Armies, on the other, and repeatedly changed hands. And later Borisoglebsky district was engulfed by the Tambov uprising.

The 2nd Military School of Red Air Fleet Pilots, established in the city in 1923, brought all-Union fame and glory to Borisoglebsk. From its walls came such legendary pilots as V.P. Chkalov, V.K. Kokkinaki, N.P. Kamanin, A.B. Yumashev and V.V. Talalikhin. On the basis of the famous pilot school, the Borisoglebsk Higher Military Aviation Order of Lenin Red Banner Pilot School was organized. V.P. Chkalov, which since May 2001 was transformed into the Borisoglebsk Aviation Training Center (branch) of the Krasnodar Higher Military Aviation School of Pilots (now Kachinsky Military School).

A memorial opened near the school in 2015 is dedicated to its most famous graduates. Its central figure is a bust of Chkalov, on both sides of which there are 12 busts of Heroes of the Soviet Union, who were awarded this award twice. The names of another 263 Heroes of the Soviet Union and Russia, engraved on a granite memorial slab, remind us of the exploits of the Chkalovites.
One of the brands of Borisoglebsk is the Borisoglebsk Municipal Drama Theater named after N. G. Chernyshevsky. Having started its first theater season in 1937, it is deservedly considered one of the best theaters in small towns in Russia. The repertoire includes performances based on works by Ostrovsky, Williams, Chekhov, Lorca, Durrenmatt, Olshansky and other authors. The theater building itself is also valuable - in the past the people's house of the merchant Mokhov, and now a monument of history and architecture of the early 20th century.
In total, there are 113 cultural and architectural monuments in the city. In this sense, Borisoglebsk is a kind of open-air museum, the basis of which is the architectural complex of the central part of the city with the unique buildings of the 19th century.
Unveiling of the monument to Boris and Gleb on Starosobornaya Square
The city-forming center of Borisoglebsk is Starosobornaya Square, which begins at the walls of the oldest church in the city in the name of the Holy Princes Boris and Gleb. Originally built in wood in 1703, its stone building was erected on the site of a wooden church in 1792. And in 2022, on the square in front of the temple, a monument to Saints Boris and Gleb and a foundation stone were erected in honor of the city of Borisoglebsk, the name of which combines the names of both saints.

Among the architectural and historical monuments, the Borisoglebsky railway station stands out - built in 1871, it is a beautiful building with elements of the Renaissance, Russian style and classicism. The famous Russian traveler Semenov-Tyan-Shansky, who had seen a lot in his time, considered it one of the best stations on the entire South-Eastern Railway.

A special place in the architecture of Borisoglebsk is occupied by wooden residential buildings that have preserved ancient elements of decorative decoration of buildings from the late 19th - early 20th centuries.
Opened at the beginning of the 19th century as a school museum and in 1929 receiving state status, the Borisoglebsk Historical and Art Museum is one of the oldest museums in the Voronezh region and at the same time is considered one of the largest in the region in terms of the number of exhibits: more than 70 thousand items are stored in its funds.

And the symbol of the city since its foundation has been the Tellerman Forest (Tellerman Oak Grove), the image of which is embodied in the modern coat of arms of Borisoglebsk with three oak leaves with two acorns placed in the center of the heraldic shield.
Being part of the Borisoglebsky forest, this section of the forest is one of the oldest forests in Russia. Documentary evidence about it dates back to the 16th century, and the name goes back to the Turkic language and is translated as “endless forest.”

Borisoglebsk Orthodox
There are many churches on the territory of Borisoglebsk. They are located in different parts of the city.
Church of Boris and Gleb
The Orthodox church is located on the site of the previously existing Pavlovsk fortress - the first structure of the future city of Borisoglebsk. The first chapel was erected in 1703. In 1706, it burned down in a fire, and a new wooden cathedral was built in its place, operating until 1784. In 1792, a new brick church was erected, consecrated in honor of the Dormition of the Blessed Virgin Mary and named Assumption. It was looted and closed in 1937. The temple was forgotten and abandoned, hidden behind a high plank fence.
Only in 2004 it was restored, and its historical name was returned to it in honor of the holy passion-bearers Boris and Gleb.
Church shrines: the revered icon of the Russian noble princes Boris and Gleb, the Kazan Vyshinskaya icon of the Mother of God.
Where is it: st. Sadovaya, 17A.
Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker
Orthodox church, built in 1891-1895 as Kazan. It existed until the end of 1939. The zealous struggle of the ruling party against religion did not bypass this temple. It was stolen, and the four-ton bell was simply thrown down and broken. A car park was set up within the walls of the former church.
For more than 50 years the temple was closed to parishioners. Only in 1992 was it restored; in 1995 it was consecrated in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Today it is a small red-brick temple with a bright ornamental patterned decor of the facade, creating a feeling of idleness. The temple combines elements of Russian medieval and Western European architecture. The Orthodox institution is included in the list of historical heritage sites of regional significance.
Church shrine: icon “Cathedral of the Reverend Elders of Optina” with particles of relics.
Where is it: st. Blanskaya, 156.

But trouble came from the eastern side to her settlement. A countless Tatar-Mongol horde attacked her land and killed all the good fellows, and took the old and young captive. 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.
