Location in Tula Oblast

Slawny ( Russian Сла́вный ) is an urban-type settlement in the Tula Oblast in Russia with 1862 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).

geography

The place is a good 100 km as the crow flies southwest of the Tula Oblast Administrative Center, a good 10 km from the border with Orjol Oblast , not far from the left bank of the Oka tributary Ista .

Slawny is the only town in the district of the same name .

history

The place was established in 1961 as a secret military settlement near a nuclear weapons depot of the Soviet Army and was subsequently given the cover name Tula-50. In 1998 the camp and the associated unit were dissolved and the settlement was placed under the administration of the Arsenjewski rajon on February 9, 1998, based in Arsenjewo , 25 km to the northeast .

On November 16, 2008, Slawny and the surrounding territory were spun off as an independent urban district from the Rajon, and the place itself received the status of an urban-type settlement. On December 8, 2008, the place was given its current name after the earlier call sign of the local unit, which in Russian means "glorious", which confirmed the result of a local referendum in June 2006.

traffic

To the north-east of the settlement, the regional road 70K-039 leads from the neighboring district center of Arsenjewo to the north, to the federal trunk road M2 at Tschern, 25 km south-east of Slavny .

Slawny was the end point of a now disused railway line for goods traffic only, which branched off from the Ranenburg  - Sukhinichi  - Smolensk line west of Arsenjewo .
