Chorny Yar ( Russian Чёрный Яр ) is a village (selo) and former city in Astrakhan Oblast in Russia with 7779 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).

geography

The place is about 240 km as the crow flies northwest of the Astrakhan Oblast Administrative Center on the right, high bank of the Volga, which is almost two kilometers wide .

Chorny Yar is the administrative center Rajons Tschernojarski and seat of the rural community selsowet (selskoje posselenije) Tschernojarski, which also includes the village of Baranovka (7 kilometers north-west) and the hamlet (Khutor) Nagolny (4 km to the east, on the other bank of the Volga on the island between the main arm and the left tributaries Gerassimowka and Vinokurowka).

history

The founding year is 1627, when a Russian fortress called Tschorny Ostrog ("Black Ostrog") was built on the left, flat bank of the Volga opposite the current location to secure the trade route to Astrakhan. In 1634 it was moved to its current location on the steep bank of the Volga; dar, originally Turkish-speaking , taken over into Russian, jar in the place name stands for steep river banks or the edges of ravines. As a result, a Nogai settlement called Jankala ("New City") arose nearby . 1727 stationed in Chorny Yar were Strelets to Cossacks (as part of the Astrakhan Cossacks appointed).

After several changes to the governorate allocation in the course of the 18th century, the place became the seat of a Ujesds named after him in the Astrakhan governorate and thus received city rights. In 1873 the part of the place where the Cossacks settled was converted into a stanitsa called Chernoyarskaya .

In 1918 the Ujesd came to the newly formed governorate of Tsaritsyn (from 1925 Stalingrad, today Volgograd); In 1923 it was dissolved and attached to the Ujesd Tsaritsyn . In 1925 the place lost its town charter and has been a village ever since. After further administrative changes (1928 to Okrug Astrakhan Region Lower Volga , in 1934 the region Stalingrad , 1936 to Oblast Stalingrad , Volgograd Oblast today) of Rajon was finally released to the formed in 1943 Astrakhan oblast 1947th In 1963 the Rajon was temporarily dissolved and its territory joined the Jenotajewski rajon, but was restored in 1964.

traffic

The federal trunk road R22 Kaspi (part of the European route 119 ), which connects Kaschira near Moscow via Tambov and Volgograd with Astrakhan, passes to the west of the settlement ; the original route led through the village. The nearest train station is about 25 km north in Akhtubinsk on the left bank of the Volga, on the Volgograd - Astrakhan route, which cannot be reached directly by land, as there are no bridges over the Volga between the two oblast centers, otherwise it is just under 150 km upstream Volgograd.
