history

Cossack settlement

The place was in 1794 as one of the 40 first Kuban Cossacks settlements as Kuschtschowski cures founded, named after the original origin of the Cossacks in the "Zaporozhian Sich" . Since 1842 it has been known as Staniza under its current name.

The construction of the main line of the North Caucasus Railway from Rostov to Vladikavkas through the Stanitsa increased its economic importance towards the end of the 19th century. During this time she was administratively part of the department (Otdel) Jeisk of the then Kuban Oblast .

Soviet era

As part of an administrative reform, Kushchevskaya was on June 2, 1924 the administrative center of a Rajon, which was assigned to various administrative units until it became part of the newly founded Krasnodar Territory on June 13, 1937.

Second World War

During the Second World War , Kushchevskaya was occupied by the German Wehrmacht from the beginning of August 1942 to February 1943 . During the otherwise mostly relatively rapid advance of the Wehrmacht in the Kuban area in the summer of 1942, fierce defensive battles against the German 4th Mountain Division took place around the Stanitsa Kuschtschowskaja from July 30th . A counterattack by troops of the 13th Kuban Cossack Division of the Red Army on August 2nd is known in Russian historiography as the Kushchevsk attack . The counterattack probably killed several thousand members of the Wehrmacht and halted the German advance in this area for several days. The losses on the Soviet side are not known.

Mass murder 2010

On the evening of November 4, 2010, 12 people were murdered in the house of a local agricultural entrepreneur. The perpetrators killed everyone in the house, including a nine-month-old girl and three other children. Then they tried to set the house on fire to cover up the traces. Most of the victims were stabbed, one person was strangled, and another died of smoke inhalation.

On November 29, 2010, eight suspects were arrested. The investigation into this high-profile crime revealed 11 other crimes committed by local criminal gangs and individual officials. Members of the gang around Sergej Zapok (1976-2014) are implicated in many of these crimes. This gang is also linked to the November 4, 2010 mass murder. A special commission was set up to investigate serious and particularly serious crimes committed in recent years, with the head of the special commission investigating the residents of Kushchevsky. One of the results of the investigation was the dismissal of the head of the Ministry of Interior in the Krasnodar Territory, Sergei Kucheruk.

Economy and Infrastructure

In Kushchovskaya, as the center of an agricultural area, there are companies in the food industry ( dairy factory ) and the construction industry ( brick factory ), as well as a machine factory and a tank repair facility for the Russian Army .

Kuschtschowskaja is on the railway line from Rostov - Mineralnye Vody  - Vladikavkas or - Makhachkala  - Baku ( Kuschtschowka station , route km 1428 from Moscow ). Starting from this main line, which was opened in 1875 and electrified on this section in 1962 , a line went into operation from Kuschtschowskaja in 1915 via Starominskaja and Timaschewskaja to Krasnodar. After being destroyed in the Second World War , however, it was not restored on the Kushchovskaya - Starominskaya section, but replaced in 1964 by a route from Bataisk , which is located further north on the main route, as a shorter direct connection from the north to Krasnodar and further to the health resorts on the Black Sea coast.

To the east, Stanitsa is bypassed by the M4 Moscow - Rostov - Novorossiysk highway (also European route 115 ), from which a regional road branches off towards Starominskaya and on to Yeisk and the Sea of ​​Azov .

To the southwest of Stanitsa is the Kushchovskaya military airfield , where the 797th training regiment of the Russian Air Force is stationed, which has L-39 , Su-25 , Su-27 and MiG-29 aircraft . In 2008 the planes that bombed the Georgian air force base in Senaki during the conflict over South Ossetia took off from here .
