history

The Staniza was created in 1851 as part of a land reorganization in the land of the Don Army (from 1870 referred to as the Oblast of the Don Army ). Within this it belonged to the northernmost Okrug Chopjorski (based in Stanitsa Urjupinskaja, a good 75 km to the west ). The place name is derived from Preobrashenije , the Russian Orthodox term for transfiguration .

In the Soviet period Preobrazhenskaya became the administrative seat of a newly created Rajon on June 23, 1928 after several administrative changes. In 1936, the place received the status of a village (selo) and was renamed Kikwidse , after the revolutionary and division commander of the Red Army Vasily Kikwidse (1895-1919), who was located 25 km to the northwest during the Russian Civil War , until today also after him named hamlet was killed. The Rajon was renamed accordingly. On February 25, 1960 the village of Kikwidse was merged with some nearby settlements and received urban-type settlement status . Since December 11, 1997 the place is again Staniza under the original name; however, the name of the Rajon was retained.
