Bredy ( Russian Бре́ды ) is a rural settlement in the Chelyabinsk Oblast ( Russia ) with 9468 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).

geography

The settlement is located in the southeastern foothills of the Urals , a good 300 km as the crow flies south of the Oblast capital Chelyabinsk and just under 30 km from the border with Kazakhstan . The Sintaschta ( Syntasty in Kazakh ) flows through Bredy, the left source of the Tobol tributary, the Sheltered River.

Bredy is the administrative center of the Bredy Rajon of the same name .

history

The place was founded in 1843 as a base for the Orenburg Cossacks and was initially called Posten (Post) or Section (Utschastok) No. 13 of the Nowolineiny rajon . As Nowolineiny rajon ("New Line Rajon") the previously sparsely populated and hardly used agriculturally area along the borderline of the Russian Empire to the not yet colonized steppe areas of the later Russian Turkestan between the fortresses Orsk and Troitsk was called. On the orders of Tsar Nikolai I , Cossacks from the hinterland, some of them from the disbanded Stavropol Kalmyks Regiment , were settled here in 32 sections in the 1840s .

Many of the sections or settlements were later given the names of scenes of Russian victories - mostly with the participation of Cossack regiments - in the wars of the 19th century; so also Bredy after the Dutch city ​​of Breda , whose fortress was captured in the "Patriotic War" against Napoléon on December 9, 1813 by Russian troops under General Alexander von Benckendorff .

As part of an administrative reform, Bredy became the administrative center of a Rajons on November 4, 1926. In 1940 it received urban-type settlement status . The population of the place grew considerably as part of the campaign to reclaim the steppe areas of southern Western Siberia and northern Kazakhstan ("reclamation" or "Zelina"), but then fell again.

In 1992 Bredy was downgraded again to a rural settlement .

The settlement is located on the two-track railway line (Chelyabinsk -) Troitsk - Orsk , which was finally completed in 1930 - after being destroyed in the Russian Civil War - and electrified since 1968 (route km 209 from Solotaya Sopka south of Troitsk, where it branches off from the line towards Qostanai in Kazakhstan).
