List of large settlements in Russia

Anna ( Russian А́нна ) is an urban-type settlement in the Voronezh Oblast ( Russia ) with 18,032 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).

geography

The settlement is located in the southern Central Russia about 100 kilometers east of Oblasthauptstadt Voronezh , on the high right bank of the Don -Nebenflusses Bityug River .

Anna has been the administrative center of the Anna Rajon of the same name since 1928 .

history

In the years 1697 and 1698 established free ( serfs ) settlers to Ivan Prisselkin along the Bityug River several villages, but without the permission of the Czar Peter I , so this was to burn down the settlements in 1699 and expel the residents. In 1701 the village, named after the small Bitjug tributary Anna , was rebuilt, now by serfs from the tsarist court.

In 1797 Tsar Pavel I gave the general and later Russian Chancellor Fyodor Rostoptschin several estates owned by the crown in the Voronezh governorate , including Anna. After his resignation in 1801, Rostoptschin devoted himself to redesigning these estates and had a country estate with a park built in Anna.

Fyodor Rostoptschin's son Andrei lived on the Anna estate until 1842, around which a larger village had now developed, and he subsequently sold it. In 1873 it finally came into the possession of the noble family of the Barjatinski princes. Under the owner Nadezhda Baryatinskaya (1846–1920), the estate and village experienced a significant upswing, especially around 1900. A vodka distillery, an oil mill and a brick factory were built. The stud already existing under Rostopchin was revived; the family financed the construction of a railway line to Anna and the construction of social facilities such as a children's home and a hospital.

During the Second World War , Anna was temporarily home to the staff of the Voronezh Front of the Red Army under Army General Nikolai Watutin , after whom a street was later named.

In 1958, Anna received urban-type settlement status.
