history

The place was founded on May 30, 1802 by resettlers from the small town of Dobry des Ujesds Lebedjan in the Tambov Governorate (today the village of Dobroje and also the Rajonzentrum in the Lipetsk Oblast) and named after them Dobrinsky Vyselki ( Vyselki means farms or places created by resettlement in Russian ). Later, the short form Dobrinka became common . In the 19th century the name Bakhtino was also used at times , after the owner of the village. The village belonged to the Ujesd Usman , also in the Tambov governorate.

In 1869 the railway line Grjasi  - Borisoglebsk passed the village and opened a train station. In 1871 the line was extended to Tsaritsyn (now Volgograd) on the Volga , which led to an economic boom.

With the creation of a Rajon in 1928, Dobrinka became its administrative seat.

In 1967 it merged with the nearby village of Chuevka and the smaller villages of Nikolskoje and Chamlychok, with which it had now effectively grown together, and was given the status of an urban-type settlement, which it lost again in 2005. Nevertheless, it became the seat of a township as part of the administrative reform in Russia.

This phase of life is reflected in the autobiographical story Der Nachtwächter (Storosch) ; In addition, he wrote the story The victim of boredom (Skuki radi) based on motifs from a story heard there. For this reason, a Maxim Gorki memorial stood in Dobrinka until the 1990s; In 2002 a new memorial was erected to mark the 200th anniversary of the town.
