Leninskoje ( Russian Ле́нинское ) is a village (selo) in the Jewish Autonomous Oblast in Russia with 6109 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).

geography

The place is about 100 km as the crow flies south of the Oblast Administrative Center Birobidzhan in the Amur lowlands . It is located on a left tributary a good kilometer from the main arm of the Amur , which is about a kilometer wide and marks the border with the People's Republic of China .

Leninskoje is the administrative center of Leninsky Rajon and the seat of the rural community Leninskoje selskoje posselenije, which also includes the villages of Kalinino (8 km north), Kukelewo (9 km south-west), Nischneleninskoje (5 km north-east), Churki (16 km north-north-east) and Voskressenowka (23 km northeast) and the settlement at the Leninsk train station (6 km north).

history

The village was established in 1858 as part of the settlement of the Amur area, which was attached to the Russian Empire in the same year as a result of the Treaty of Aigun , by Cossacks . It was named Michailo-Semjonowskoje after the first and last name of the then (since 1855) governor of the Transbaikalia Oblast and ataman of the Transbaikal Cossacks Mikhail Semjonowitsch Korsakow (1826–1871).

On July 20, 1934 the place was renamed after Marshal of the Soviet Union Vasily Blücher (Russian form Bljucher ) in Bljucherowo and the administrative seat of a Rajon called Bljucherowski rajon . After Blucher was arrested during the Stalin Purges in 1937 (he was executed in 1938), the Rajon and the place were renamed Leninskoye after the revolutionary leader Lenin .

Regional road 99K-2 leads to Leninskoye, starting in Birobidzhan on the federal highway R297 Amur (formerly M58) Chita  - Khabarovsk and passing through Birofeld and Babstowo .

6 km north of the village is the Leninsk railway station , the end of a 121 km long branch line opened in 1941 and starting in Birobidzhan on the Trans-Siberian Railway . The extension of the route to China with a connection to the Chinese railway network in the opposite Tongjiang in the direction of Harbin is planned. For this purpose a more than 2 km long bridge over the Amur is to be built a few kilometers below Leninskoye near Nizneleninskoye (as of 2013). Currently, a car ferry or a pontoon bridge for road traffic crosses the river there, depending on the season .
