history

The place initially called Smerdyn was first mentioned in 1545; the name appeared in Novgorod birch bark texts from the late 14th or early 15th century, but it is not certain whether this place is identical with the later one. At that time Smerdyn was a small church village, known as pogost , as is customary in northern Russia . Towards the end of the 16th century, the relatively remote area was largely depopulated due to the poor economic situation. By the middle of the 17th century, many Karelians settled in the area as a result of the Stolbowo Peace ; they are resident there to this day as the Tver-Karelians ethnic group .

With the administrative reorganization of the Russian Empire in the 18th century, Smerdyn came to Ujesd Wessjegonsk , from 1776 in the governorship of Tver, from 1796 due to the interim dissolution of the Ujesd (until 1803) to the Ujesd Besezk of the newly formed Tver Governorate . Although the place was locally significant as a trading point, administratively it was part of the Michailowskaja wolost , originally based in Michailowskoje, later also temporarily in Monakowo, which is six kilometers north of Smerdyn, which is conveniently located on the road. In the early Soviet period, Smerdyn became the seat of a village soviet , which moved with the entire western part of the Ujesd Wessjegonsk to the Ujesd Wyschni Wolotschok before the Ujesd structure was abolished in 1929.

On July 12, 1929, the Mikhailovsky rajon, which was once again based in Mikhailovskoye, was expelled as part of the short-lived Okrug Beschezk, which was much larger in this period than Moscow Oblast today . With the abolition of the administrative level of the okrugi, the Rajon was directly subordinated to the oblast on October 31, 1930. At the same time, the administrative headquarters were moved to Smerdyn and renamed Lesnoje (adjective from Russian les for "forest", thus about "forest village"); the name of the Rajon was adapted accordingly.

From February 1963 to December 30, 1966 the Rajon was temporarily dissolved and its territory was annexed to the Maksatichinski rajon.
