history

The place was founded in 1887 by resettlers from the village of Burukshun (a good 30 km northwest of Ipatowo in the northwest of today's Stavropol region) and initially referred to as Novy Burukschun ("New Burukschun"). It initially belonged to the Ujesd Nowogrigorjewski of the Stavropol governorate with its seat in Praskoweja , after the division of the Ujesd in 1910 to Ujesd Praskoweja and after the relocation of its administrative seat and renaming in 1910 to Ujesd Swjatokrestowski with seat in Svyatoi Krest (today Budjonnowsk). In March 1899 the village got its current name (from Russian step for "steppe"). In 1905 it became the seat of a Volost .

In 1921 the Ujesd was annexed to the short-lived Terek Governorate before a Solomenski rajon with its seat in the village of Solomenskoye , 20 km southwest of Stepnoye , was expelled when the governorate and the Ujesde were dissolved in April 1924 (confirmed on June 2, 1924) . He belonged to the Okrug Terek of the South-Eastern Oblast (Yugo-Vostochnaja oblast), from November 1924 the North Caucasus region (Severo-Kawkasski krai). Already on December 16, 1924 (confirmed on February 4, 1926) the Rajon administration was moved to Stepnoje and the Rajon was renamed accordingly. On January 21, 1929, the Rajon was temporarily dissolved and its territory was divided among the surrounding Rajons, Stepnoye itself came to the Vorontsovo-Alexandrowski rajon with its seat in today's Selenokumsk ; on January 23, 1935, the Rajon was redesignated with a reduced area.

During the Second World War , Stepnoye was captured by the German Wehrmacht at the end of August 1942 as part of their Edelweiss enterprise and was recaptured by the Red Army in early January 1943 during the North Caucasian Operation . In 2001 a mass grave with the remains of more than 600 Jews from the region who had been murdered during the occupation was discovered on the outskirts of Stepnoye ; Since September 7, 2014 there is a memorial there with the names of only 32 of the victims who could still be identified.

On September 30, 1958, the Rajon was dissolved again and its territory joined the Voronzowo-Alexandrowski rajon (from 1963 Sowetski rajon); since April 3, 1972 it has existed again in its present form.
