history

In 1498 the villages of Belaja and Strugi in the area of ​​today's settlement were first mentioned. When the Petersburg-Warsaw Railway was built from 1856, the Belaya station was built there. In 1905 it was renamed Strugi-Belaja , also to avoid confusion with other stations called Belaja in the Russian rail network.

On September 2, 1919, the station was renamed Strugi-Krasnye with an ideological background : Belaja means “white”, Krasnye “red”, which here refers to the “whites” and the “reds” in the Russian Civil War . The name also passed on to the now coalesced village, which was given the status of an urban-type settlement on June 16, 1925. In 1927 she became the administrative seat of the newly created Rajons named after her.

During the Second World War , Strugi Krasnyje was occupied by the German Wehrmacht from July 12, 1941 to February 23, 1944 .
