history

In the 19th century there were two manors on the site of the present town, which were collectively referred to as Kossaja Gora (analogous Russian translation as “Schiefer Berg” of the Finnish name of the locality Väärämäki, literally “False Hill”) and a vodka distillery. The present name of uncertain origin has been known since the 1920s, when there is a collective farm and later a state farm was created. The village had a good 300 inhabitants in the middle of the 20th century; by 2010 the population had fallen to 137. Since the 1960s at the latest, Kudrowo was under the administration of the Sanevsky village soviet , which was transformed into the municipality of Sanevskoje gorodskoje posselenije in 2004, with its seat in the Janino-1 settlement five kilometers to the northeast .

At the end of the 2000s, large-scale construction of multi-story apartment blocks began around the village . As a result, the population quickly rose to officially at least 20,000 at the beginning of 2018. On June 28, 2018, Kudrowo was granted city rights.

traffic

Immediately to the east of the city, the motorway ring (federal trunk road A118) runs around Saint Petersburg. To the south, the federal trunk road R21 leaves Kola to Murmansk Saint Petersburg and crosses the ring there. Not far from the motorway junction is the Mega Dybenko Mall , the largest shopping center in Saint Petersburg.

Kudrowo is connected to the Saint Petersburg city ​​bus network. Several lines of the Saint Petersburg tram reach the city limits not far from the northwest end of Kudrowo. This can also be used to reach the Uliza Dybenko terminus of line 4 of the Saint Petersburg metro, about two kilometers away . The continuation of this line near what is now the southern part of Kudrowo was partially completed as early as the 1980s, before the work was temporarily suspended in 1997 for financial reasons. Originally planned as Narodnaja, the station will now open as Kudrowo in 2025 at the earliest.
