history

The village was first mentioned in 1734 in connection with the construction of a church under the name of Shchir - after the spelling of the river name (Russian Щир ); so it is probably much older. It belonged to the Ujesd Kromy , from 1778 part of the governorship of Oryol, from 1796 of the Oryol governorate . In 1861 the place became the seat of a Volost , already under its current name, derived from the original name Saskowo (Russian Саськово ) of the district on the right of the river. After the dissolution of the Ujesd on February 11, 1924, the village belonged to the Ujesd Orjol.

On July 30, 1928, Soskowo came to a newly formed Rajon with headquarters in the village of Verkhnyaya Bojowka 10 km northeast , which, however, was dissolved again in January 1931; its territory was attached to the Uritski rajon with headquarters in Naryschkino , a good 30 km northeast . After the formation of the Kursk Oblast on June 13, 1934, the Rajon, which was dissolved in 1931, was restored on January 18, 1935, now with its seat in Soskowo and named after it; the Oryol Oblast was only created in 1937 by spinning off from the Kursk Oblast, with the Rajon being preserved.

During World War II , Soskowo was occupied by the German Wehrmacht from October 2, 1941 to August 11, 1943 .

On February 1, 1963, the Rajon was again dissolved in favor of the Uritski rajon and restored on August 23, 1985.
