geography

Pinega is located about 140 km east of the Oblast capital Arkhangelsk and 92 km northwest of the administrative district center Karpogory . The settlement is located on the right side of the eponymous Pinega River , around 110 km above its mouth in the lower reaches of the Northern Dvina . To the north of the settlement, the six-kilometer-long Kuloikanal connects the Pinega with the Kuloi river , which runs north and is called Sotka up to this point.

Pinega is the administrative center of the selskoje posselenije Pineschskoje ( сельское поселение Пинежское ). The community, with 4643 inhabitants (as of 2010), includes Pinega, the settlements Golubino, Krasnaja Gorka, Krasny Bor, Kriwyje Osera, Taiga and Cholm as well as 24 other villages.

history

Pinega was first mentioned in 1137 in a statute of the Novgorod prince Svyatoslaw Olgovich as Pogost Pinega . From the 16th century onwards, the main part of the population was made up of free peasants, so-called “black peasants” ( Черносошные крестьяне ), who paid their taxes directly to the Russian state rather than to a body owner.

At the beginning of the 17th century, the Pogost Pineschski Wolok ( Пинежский Волок ) was located in the area of ​​today's settlement . This was part of the Kewrolski ujesd since 1616 . With the administrative reform by Catherine the Great in 1780, the Ujesd was dissolved and the area became part of the newly established governorship of Vologda . The Kewrolski ujesd was replaced by the newly founded Pineschski ujesd , with Pinega as the administrative center. In the course of this administrative reform the Pogost Pineschski Wolok received the city ​​status and the current name Pinega. In 1796 the city became part of the Arkhangelsk Governorate .

Most of the population of Pinegas continued to be active in agriculture in the 19th century, with livestock, fishing and hunting playing a role. With the construction of the first sawmills in Arkhangelsk Governorate and the growing demand for wood, the wood industry established itself in the region. The wood was transported with rafts downstream of the Pinega.

Pinega was already a place of exile and banishment at the beginning of the 18th century. So spent Vasily Golitsyn , the lover of Tsarina Sofia Alexejewna his last years here. At the end of the 19th century, among others, the writer Alexander Serafimowitsch and at the beginning of the 20th century Kliment Voroshilov and Alexei Rykow were exiled to Pinega for their revolutionary activities.

During the Russian Civil War in 1918, Pinega was briefly occupied by English, French and American troops of the Polar Bear Expedition as part of the Northern Russian intervention .

In 1925 Pinega lost its town charter and from then on had the status of a Selo. With the dissolution of the Pineschski ujesd in 1927, Pinega first became part of the Arkhangelski ujesd and in 1929, as the center of the newly created Pinega district, part of the Northern Krais . In 1937 the Rajon became part of the newly created Arkhangelsk Oblast. In another administrative reform in 1959, the Karpogory district was attached to the Pinega district, with the Selo Karporogy becoming the administrative center of the district. From 1960 to 1993, Pinega had urban-type settlement status.

Pinega has been the center of the selskoje posselenije Pineschskoje since 1997 .
