Yershichi ( Russian Е́ршичи ) is a village (selo) in the Smolensk Oblast in Russia with 3169 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).

geography

The village is located about 130 km in a straight line south-southeast of Oblastverwaltungszentrums Smolensk and some 15 km from the border with Belarus on the right bank of the left Sosch -Nebenflusses Iput .

Jerschitschi is the administrative center of the Jerschitschski Rajons as well as the seat of the rural municipality Jerschitschskoje selskoje posselenije, which also includes the eleven villages Blinnyje Kutschi (6 km south), Lomnja (9 km south), Makarowka (2 km west of the town center), Medvedovka (5 km south-west) , Poljakowka (5 km west), Polowitnja (4 km north-west), Rudnja (4 km north), Samoschtschje (6 km south-west), Sossonki (4 km south), Tanino (south-west adjoining) and Vysokaya Sloboda (11 km south-south-east) as well the settlement (possjolok) Lessosawoda (3 km east; "settlement of the forest enterprise") belong.

history

The year the village was founded is unknown. It belonged to the Ujesd Roslavl formed in 1708 in the Smolensk governorate (between 1713–1726 in the Riga governorate and 1775–1796 in the Smolensk governorate). At the end of the 19th century at the latest, Jerschitschi became the seat of a Volost .

With the dissolution of the governorates and Ujesde, the place became the seat of a Rajon of the Western Oblast (Sapadnaja oblast) named after him on June 1, 1929 , until 1930 as part of the Okrug Roslavl. In 1932 the Rajon was temporarily dissolved and divided between the Rajons Roslavl and Kletnja , with the place Yerschitschi itself in the former. In 1935 the Rajon was expelled again and on September 27, 1937 came to the newly formed Smolensk Oblast.

During World War II , Jerschitschi was occupied by the German Wehrmacht from August 8, 1941 to September 26, 1943.

From February 1, 1963 to April 3, 1972, the Rajon was temporarily dissolved again and its territory assigned to the northwestern neighboring Shumyachsky rajon.

traffic

Regional road 66K-18 leads to Yershichi from Roslavl, a good 30 km to the north, where the federal highways A130 from Moscow to the Belarusian border and R120 from Oryol via Brjansk to Smolensk cross. The 66K-19 runs from Jerschitschi via the neighboring district center of Shumyachi to the northwest , in front of which the A130 is again crossed, through the southwest of the oblast to Chislavichi .

The 66K-19 reaches the formerly nearest railway station Ponyatovka after about 25 km on the Mahiljou  - Krytschau  - Roslavl - Sukhinichi line , which was opened on this section in 1931, but which was interrupted after the collapse of the Soviet Union on the cross-border section Krytschau - Roslavl and from Roslavl to Ponyatovka was only used sporadically in freight traffic and is now completely out of service. The closest train station today, also with passenger traffic, is therefore Roslavl with connections on the Oryol - Bryansk - Smolensk route and in the direction of Sukhinichi.
