The settlement is located in the southwestern part of the Central Russian ridge on the Rasumnaja river, not far from its confluence with the Seversky Donets , which is dammed up there to form the Belgorod reservoir .

Rasumnoje belongs to the Belgorod Rajon and is located about ten kilometers south-east of the city center of the Belgorod Oblast and at the same time Rajon administrative center .

history

The exact year of foundation of the place is not known, it is probably in the middle of the 18th century. Rasumnoje was first mentioned in 1774 in connection with the construction of the first church. The origin of the place name, which, like the name of the Rasumnaja river in Russian, stands for wise or sensible, is also unknown .

By the second half of the 19th century, Rasumnoye developed into a relatively large village with 240 farms and 1700 inhabitants. In 1885 the first three-class school was opened. In 1897 the railway line from Belgorod to Kupjansk passed the village.

In 1928 Rasumnoye was assigned the seat of a village soviet and the newly created Belgorod Rajon. During the Second World War , the village was occupied by the German Wehrmacht in October 1941 and recaptured for the first time by the Red Army in March 1943 . During the advance on the southern flank of the Kursk front arc as part of the Citadel enterprise at the beginning of July 1943, units of the German army group Kempf were able to take the village again, but at the beginning of August 1943 they were subordinated to the 7th Soviet Guards Army by the 78th Guards Division in the Belgorod-Kharkov operation General Shumilov finally pushed back. The village was completely destroyed by the bitter fighting.

After the war, Rasumnoje initially emerged as an agricultural village, but from the 1970s it developed into a residential suburb of the fast-growing city ​​of Belgorod, whose population had increased sevenfold by 1979 compared to the pre-war level and whose borders had moved closer to a few kilometers. During this period Razumnoye received urban-type settlement status. In the 1980s and 1990s in particular, a large number of prefabricated buildings were built , which today characterize the townscape alongside the old, rural part.
