history

Before 1945 the small village, formerly called Uszballen , consisted of many scattered small farms. In 1874 it was incorporated into the newly established administrative district Brakupönen , which - renamed "Amtsgebiet Roßlinde" between 1939 and 1945 - existed until 1945 and belonged to the Gumbinnen district in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

In 1910 191 inhabitants were registered in Uszballen. Their number rose to 250 by 1933 and was still 232 in 1939.

On September 17, 1936, the spelling of the name was changed from Uszballen to "Uschballen". For political and ideological reasons, the village was renamed "Birkenried" on June 3rd - officially confirmed on July 16th - 1938. On October 1, 1937, the community expanded when the village of Wandlauschen (until 1936: Wandlauszen), previously part of the Mallwischken district, was incorporated.

As a result of the war, the place and the whole of northern East Prussia became part of the Soviet Union in 1945 . In 1947 he received the Russian name "Loschtschinka" and was assigned at the same time to the village Soviet Maiski selski Sowet in Gusew Rajon . From 2008 to 2013 Loschtschinka belonged to the rural community Kubanowskoje selskoje posselenije and since then to the urban district of Gusew .
