history

The place was founded in 1862 by Russian resettlers from the Voronezh governorate not far from a Kalmyk winter camp. The name is derived from Troiza, Russian for Holy Trinity , to which a now defunct wooden church was consecrated, which was moved there from the village of the same name in the Voronezh governorate.

On January 24, 1938, Troitskoye became the administrative seat of the Troitski rajon ( Ulus ) of the Kalmyk Autonomous Oblast named after him . During the German-Soviet War , the village was occupied by the German Wehrmacht from summer until the end of 1942 . After the dissolution of the Autonomous Oblast and the deportation of the Kalmyk population, the district administration was transferred to Elista, renamed Stepnoje , and the district was named Stepnowski.

With the restoration of Kalmuck autonomy on January 12, 1957 (from 1958 as Kalmuck ASSR ) Troitskoye again became the center of a Rajon under the new name Zelinny, from Russian zelina for new territory .
