history

The current village of Kochubeyevskoye emerged from three villages founded in the 19th century.

Two of the villages were a bit off the Kuban, southwest of today's railway line . They were founded in 1862 and 1866 by Mennonites of German descent who had left the “mother colonies ” of Molotschna and Chortitza in southern Ukraine because of religious differences . In addition to the tensions between the community of the Mennonite Brothers, who were moved by arousing movement, and the “church” Mennonites , who were represented by the majority among the Russian Mennonites , there was also the unsuccessful dispute with the supporters of the Temple Society from southern Germany , also known as the Friends of Jerusalem . These circumstances, coupled with extremely unfavorable economic starting conditions, led to a slow and arduous development phase for the new settlement community. The colony was named Kuban (also Am Kuban ), the villages the names Wohldemfürst (in transcription from the Russian Woldemfjurst , also Woldemfirst ; "Wohl dem Fürst" refers to the Grand Duke Mikhail Nikolajewitsch , at this time Russian Governor General of the Caucasus) and Alexanderfeld (after the reigning Tsar Alexander II ). As part of a Russification campaign in the 1890s, the Mennonite villages were given the Russian names of a similar meaning Velikoknjascheskoje (from Veliki Knjas for Grand Duke ) and Alexandrodar (about "Alexander gift "). From this point in time at the latest, Alexanderfeld was administratively subordinate to Wohldemfürst; the villages formed the Volost (village community) Velikoknjascheskoje.

A little further north, the village of Olginskoje , inhabited primarily by Russians , was later built directly on the Kuban , probably named after Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna (1882–1960). All three villages belonged to the (Otdel) Batalpaschinsk department of Kuban Oblast . In 1925 they came to the Newinnomyssk Rajon, from which the Liebknecht-Rajon (after Karl Liebknecht ) was spun off later . Some of the Mennonites emigrated to Canada and Mexico in the 1920s , the remaining ones were deported to Kazakhstan and Siberia after the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, like practically all Germans from the western parts of the country .

The Liebknecht Rajon was dissolved in 1956 and the villages were reassigned to the Nevinnomyssk Rajon. As early as 1959, however, the city of Nevinnomyssk was freed from rajons and the raion was renamed “Kotschubejewski” in honor of the “red” civil war hero Ivan Kotschubei (1893-1919) who was active in the region at the time . The administrative center of the Rajons became Olginskoye, with a population of almost 7,000. In 1961 the village of Velikoknjascheskoje, which emerged from the earlier Mennonite settlements of Wohldemfürst and Alexanderfeld, was incorporated into Olginskoje, and the place was also renamed Kotschubejewskoje in the same year .

Economy and Infrastructure

In Kotschubeevskoje, as the center of an agricultural area, there are companies in the food and light industry, as well as smaller mechanical engineering and repair companies.

The settlement is on the main route of the North Caucasian Railway from Rostov-on-Don to Makhachkala and on to Azerbaijan (station name Bogoslovskaya ; route kilometers 1719 from Moscow ). The station name refers to the village of Balachonowskoje , ten kilometers to the north , which was called Bogoslowskoje at the time the railway was built. The M29 trunk road passes to the north of the village and also leads along the northern edge of the Caucasus to the Azerbaijani border. From here the A155 branches off via the Karachay-Circassian capital Cherkessk to the holiday resorts Teberda and Dombai .
