history

The place was created at the end of the 1860s in connection with the passing of the Moscow  - Kharkov railway line and the construction of the Marjino station , named after a village that was founded a little earlier by resettlers from the not far southeastern village of Jarygino and is now part of the settlement is. The station was named Kleinmichelewo from 1898 (according to other information 1902) after the former transport minister and initiator of the railway construction Pjotr ​​Kleinmichel (1793–1869), whose family owned a country estate in the village of Pristennoje, 10 km to the east . In 1915 the station was renamed Rschawa , after a nearby river. This name was subsequently transferred to the station settlement.

In 1935 the place came to the newly created Marjinski rajon based in Marjino, which was relocated to Rschawa a little later. During the Second World War , Rschawa was captured by the German Wehrmacht in mid-November 1941 , temporarily recaptured by the Red Army in early January 1942 and finally on December 31, 1942 .

On August 8, 1959, Rshawa and Marjino were merged, and the place received the status of an urban-type settlement under its current name; the Rajon was renamed accordingly.
