Historical sketch

It arose in the first quarter of the 17th century. when, on the instructions of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, the resettlement of Cherkasy (Ukrainians) who fled from Polish lands from religious persecution began along the banks of the Tikhaya Sosna River.

In 1652 (considered the year the city was founded), a fort was built on the Ostrogozhsky settlement in the Belgorod abatis system on the southern border of the Russian state. The fort was located at the confluence of the Tikhaya Sosna river. Ostrogoshch, named after this river. The hydronym is formed as a possessive adjective from the Old Russian personal name Ostrogost.

The city was colloquially called Rybny, since here was the main warehouse for fish exported to the inner provinces from the Don.

Cherkasy continued to move here, from which in 1664 a special Cherkasy Ostrogozh regiment was formed.

In 1696, a meeting between Peter I and Hetman Mazepa took place in Ostrogozhsk. In 1765, a hussar regiment was formed from the Ostrogozhsky Sloboda Regiment.

In 1708 it was assigned to the Azov province (from 1725 - Voronezh province), from 1719 to the Voronezh province. Since 1765, Ostrogozhsk has been a provincial town in the Sloboda-Ukrainian province. Since 1779 - a district town of the Voronezh governorship. From 1796 - in the Sloboda-Ukrainian province, from 1802 - in the Voronezh province.

In 1856, in the district town of Ostrogozhsk, Voronezh province, there were 7 churches, 761 houses, 106 shops.

Since 1873, an annual exhibition of agricultural working horses was held in Ostrogozhsk.

In 1895, the Kharkov-Balashov railway passed through Ostrogozhsk.

During the Great Patriotic War of 1941-45, Ostrogozhsk was occupied by Nazi troops on July 5, 1942. It was liberated on January 20, 1943 by troops of the Voronezh Front during the Ostrogozh-Rossoshan operation.

Voronezh is the only million-plus city and the largest city in the region

Voronezh, located on the river of the same name, cannot be called small: it is a real metropolis, where in 2012 the number of residents exceeded a million. The urban agglomeration is even larger: the population is about 3 million, which makes it 14th on the list of the most populated cities in Russia. With the exception of the recession of 1998-2088, the population has been increasing steadily since 1923: then the figure was only 95,000. Ten years before that, Voronezh was among the top 20 largest cities in the Russian Empire.

Despite the fact that the regional center is not spoiled by the attention of tourists, it has something to be proud of. It was here that Peter the Great built his first regular fleet, which was not only combat-ready, but also won the famous Azov victories.

Of course, Voronezh cannot “boast” of such crowds of people as in Moscow and other big cities. However, it suffers from all the typical problems of megacities: many kilometers of traffic jams, poor ecology and lack of places in kindergartens. Difficult traffic is observed on the central city streets and in the historical center, as well as at the entrances to densely populated residential areas.

It is the excess of vehicles that has the most serious negative impact on the environment: its emissions account for 90% of the total pollution indicator. There are also many industrial enterprises that pollute soil and water, including the Voronezh reservoir, one of the largest in the world located within the city. Harmful substances such as:

• zinc;
• lead;
• cadmium;
• copper.

Despite the significantly larger number of residents, compared to other settlements in the region, there are enough jobs in the capital. 2022 was a record year: the unemployment rate dropped to 3.1%. The Russian average for this period was 5%. On the other hand, the capital of the region accounts for half of the total number of all unemployed in the region. In addition, despite the stagnation of the last decade and the decline of industry, more than 30 significant enterprises make a significant contribution to the economy.

Liski is old and large by the standards of the region

Liski is one of the oldest settlements in the region, founded in 1571 as the village of Pokrovka. Over the next 300 years, the settlement developed poorly, even despite the construction of the railway and the opening of the Liski railway station near the village. In 1928, the station and the village merged, which led to the development of a new administrative unit and an increase in the number of residents. A decade later, Liski was given city status and a new name - Sloboda.

Since 2012, there has been a decline in numbers: by 2022 there has been a decrease of 3,000. People in the town are retained by a fairly developed industry: there are more than 15 enterprises. The agro-industrial complex and agriculture are well developed. Liski produces 24.8% of the regional volume of milk and 44.2% of meat products.

The largest cities in the Voronezh region by population

The region boasts the presence of 15 cities, but only one of them is considered large - the capital of the region, Voronezh. This is the only million-plus city, where 1,047,549 people live as of 2022. Paradoxically, there are no other large settlements in the region: all the rest have a population of less than 100,000. Only three, besides the capital, have more than 50,000 residents. However, you won’t find very small towns: only one of the list has a population of less than 10,000.

The most densely populated cities in the Voronezh region include:

1. Voronezh - 1,047,549.
2. Rossosh - 62,827.
3. Borisoglebsk - 61,765.
4. Liski - 53,897.
5. Ostrogozhsk - 32,601.
6. Novovoronezh - 31,503.
7. Semiluki - 26,732.
8. Pavlovsk - 24,858.
9. Buturlinovka - 24,319.
10. Bobrov - 20,460.
