The city is located on the Karelian Isthmus about 20 km northeast of the Oblast capital Saint Petersburg on the Lubja river , a left tributary of the Ochta, which flows into the Neva .

Vsevoloschsk is administratively directly subordinate to the Oblast and at the same time the administrative center of the Rajon of the same name .

history

From the 18th century on, the Ryabovo Manor was located on the territory of today's city , which Peter I gave to his confidante and Field Marshal Alexander Menshikov after the Great Northern War 1700–1721 .

From 1774 to 1779, the German-Baltic court banker of Tsarina Katharina II. Baron Johann Freedericksz (Iwan Frederiks) owned the farm and started making cheese and draining the surrounding swamps.

From 1818 the farm and the village that had been built belonged to the noble family Wsewoloschski, who continued the renovation work and set up a sugar factory as well as important orchards and greenhouses from which Saint Petersburg was supplied. The result was a theater, initially with serfs ; Vsevolozhsk was the first place in Russia where the streets were lit with gas lamps. Ryabovo became a popular summer resort and from the middle of the 19th century a well-known country house settlement, where the aristocratic circles of Saint Petersburg met. The composers Michail Glinka , Alexander Aljabjew and Alexei Werstowski as well as the sculptor and painter Fyodor Tolstoy visited the place.

The "House of Culture" in Vsevolozhsk

Since 1892, a narrow-gauge railway line , the Irinovka Railway (Russian Ириновская железная дорога / Irinovskaya schelesnaja doroga), built for the supply of St. Petersburg with peat and excursion traffic , ran through the area of ​​today's city. A few kilometers west of Rjabowo, the Christinowka station opened , which was soon renamed Berngardowka after the owner of the land there, the aristocratic Bernhard (Berngard in Russian) and is still called that today. In 1895 what is now the most important railway station in the city of Vsevoloschskaya was built after the owners of Ryabovo. As a result, this station name was also transferred to the place.

During the Second World War , during the Leningrad blockade, the "Road of Life" (Russian Дорога жизни ) ran through Vsevoloschsk, which connected the besieged Leningrad with the rest of the Soviet Union .

In 1963 city rights were granted. Today Vsevolozhsk is a growing satellite city of Saint Petersburg.

Originally, the lines were opened as a narrow-gauge railway from 1892, which was the first public transport with the later Russian narrow-gauge standard gauge of 750 mm. In 1921, due to the high volume of traffic, the gauge was changed to Russian broad gauge with partial re-routing .

The M18 St. Petersburg - Petrozavodsk - Murmansk trunk road passes Vsevoloschsk to the south. The A128 runs through the city center from Saint Petersburg to the west bank of Lake Ladoga.
