Idriza ( Russian И́дрица ) is an urban-type settlement in the Pskov Oblast in Russia with 4988 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).

geography

The place is located about 170 km as the crow flies east-southeast of the Pskov Oblast Administrative Center . It is located on the river Idriza that the on the southwestern outskirts Idrijasee flows and about five kilometers north of the settlement from the left in the Velikaya flows.

Idriza belongs to the Sebeschski Rajon and is located about 25 km east-northeast of its administrative center Sebesch . The settlement is the seat of the municipality (gorodskoje posselenije) Idritsa, to which 148 villages still belong, since four surrounding former rural communities (selskoje posselenije) were attached to the municipality in April 2015 : Bojarinovskaya volost, Krasnaya Mostvolost, Maksjutinskaya volost and volostishenskaya. Only eight of the villages have more than 100 inhabitants: Alexandrowo (28 km south-south-east), Bojarinowo (22 km south), Kizkowo (10 km north-west), Kowaljowo-Sischenje, Luschki (correspondingly south-east and north-east adjoining), Mostishche (9 km south-west), Shushkovo (11 km northwest) and Sutoki (18 km southeast). 60 other villages have at least 10 inhabitants, 54 have less than 10 inhabitants, and 26 villages have no permanent inhabitants (as of 2002).

history

In the 16th century, a village was first mentioned on the site of today's settlement under the name Wydriza , after the name of the river. Later the forms Wydryanka and Idryanka came into use. The place gained importance due to the passing of the railway line from Moscow to Windau (today Ventspils in Latvia ) and the opening of a railway station in 1899 and especially after the construction of the strategic Pskov - Polotsk line crossing there in the First World War .

Originally the village and station settlement belonged to the Ujesd Sebesch of the Vitebsk Governorate . On February 15, 1923, the seat of the Volodarskaja wolost (until 1920 Neporotowskaja wolost), to which the place belonged, was moved from the village of Kizkowo to the station settlement Idritsa. After the dissolution of the Vitebsk Governorate on March 24, 1924 and the Ujesds Sebesch on August 1, 1927, there were frequent changes to the administrative affiliation of the area, which lasted until the dissolution of the Velikiye Luki Oblast , which was formed on August 22, 1944, on October 2, 1957 . During this period, Idriza was the administrative seat of a Rajon for the first time from August 1, 1927 to January 1, 1932 and again from June 1, 1936. The place developed in the 1930s through the establishment of various operations in the vicinity of the train station and as a military site: Two regiments were temporarily stationed on a military airfield on the northeastern edge of the place that existed until the 1970s . In 1938 Idriza received urban-type settlement status.

During the Second World War Idriza was occupied by the German Wehrmacht on July 15, 1941 and recaptured by the Red Army on July 12, 1944 . The settlement was badly damaged during the fighting. On October 3, 1959, the Rajon was dissolved and Idriza came to the Sebeschski rajon.

traffic

To the north, Idriza is bypassed by the new route of the federal trunk road M9 Baltija (part of European route 22 ) from Moscow via Velikije Luki to the Latvian border (further via Rēzekne to Riga ), which was built in the 1970s to 1980s . The old route branching off to the east - today regional road 58K-563 - continues about five kilometers south of the settlement past the district center of Sebesch and reaches the M9 again shortly before the state border.

Idritsa is located at km 573 on the Moscow - Riga railway line. The Pskov - Polatsk line that used to cross there at km 184 was not restored after being destroyed in the Second World War and was completely dismantled.
