history

Church of the Icon of Our Lady of Kazan in Novaya Usman

In this area, which has been inhabited by Scythians , Sarmatians , Pechenegs and Polovets (Kipchak) for 4000 years - according to archaeological finds in the area - the Voronezh voivode Sobakin had farmers settle in the years 1601 to 1602. The place was later named Usman Sobakina ("Sobakins Usman") after its founder .

In the 17th century the Belgorod defense line ran through the area on what was then the southern border of the Russian Empire; the village itself appears in documents as an important administrative unit (Usmanski stan) . The parents of the leader of the Cossack and peasant uprising of 1670, Stepan "Stenka" Razin , as well as another leader of the uprising, Razin 's uncle Nikifor Tschertok, came from the village .

In 1781 the Voronezh – Tambov postal route was passed through the village and a post office was built.

In 1928 the place became the administrative center of a newly founded Rajon and at the same time received, according to the customs of the Soviet era, instead of the old name with negative connotation (Sobakin is derived from sobaka , dog ) the current, "more optimistic" ("New (s) Usman").
