history
The place has been known since the beginning of the 18th century when Tsar Peter I transferred the surrounding lands to Admiral Naum Senjawin (also Sinjawin ; 1680 (?) - 1738) or his son Alexei Senjawin (1722-1797; later also Admiral) were. The place name is derived from a name variant of the surname of this family. In 1930 Sinyavino received urban-type settlement status.
After the German invasion of the Soviet Union , Sinyavino was occupied by the Wehrmacht in autumn 1941 and was then in the southern siege ring around Leningrad ( Leningrad blockade ). During the First Ladoga Battle (August to October 1942; Russian Sinyavino Operation ) the Red Army tried unsuccessfully to break through the blockade. In the Third Ladoga Battle , also known as the Battle of the Sinyavino Heights , the Soviet troops tried in the summer of 1943 to expand a corridor to Leningrad that had meanwhile been fought free. However, the German Wehrmacht was able to maintain the Sinyavino Heights. The reconquest by the Soviet troops was only possible in the course of the Leningrad-Novgorod operation in early 1944.
