Vsevolozhsk (Russian: Все́воложск; Finnish: Seuloskoi or Rääpyvä) is a town and the administrative center of Vsevolozhsky District of Leningrad Oblast, Russia, located on the Karelian Isthmus 24 kilometers (15 mi) east of St. Petersburg. Population: 59,704 (2010 Census);[3] 45,310 (2002 Census);[5] 31,946 (1989 Census).[6]
The town's name came from manufacturer Vsevolozhsky. In 1941–1944, the vital road connecting besieged Leningrad with the rest of Soviet Union, the Road of Life, passed through the town. Currently, a considerable part of population of Vsevolozhsk commutes to Saint Petersburg for work, which is facilitated by the broad-scale construction of apartment buildings in the town.
History
A number of villages historically existed within the current area of the town of Vsevolozhsk. In particular, the village of Ryabovo was first mentioned in 1727.[7] In the end of the 18th century and in the 19th century Ryabovo belonged to the family of princes of Vsevolozhsky, which eventually gave the name to the town. In 1892, a narrow-gauge railway, the firtst such line in Russia, was constructed to transport peat for Petersburg's heating (Irinovskaya rail road). A number of railway stations were open, including Berngardovka, Vsevolozhskaya, and Melnichny Ruchey. Settlements eventually develop around the stations. The whole area belonged to Shlisselburgsky Uyezd of Saint Petersburg Governorate. The settlement of Vsevolozhskoye, around Vsevolozhskaya railway station, was the first settlement in Russia where street gas lamps were set. In 1914, the uyezd and the governorate were renamed Leningradsky. On Febryary 14, 1923 Shlisselburgsky Uyezd was merged into Petrogradsky Uyezd. In January, 1924 the uyezd and the governorate were renamed Leningradsky.[8]
On August 1, 1927, the uyezds were abolished and Leninsky District, with the administrative center in the settlement of Vsevolozhskoye, was established. The governorates were also abolished, and the district was a part of Leningrad Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were abolished as well, and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast. In May 1930, Vsevolozhskaya, Berngardovka, Ilyinsky, Maryino, and Ryabovo all got the status of suburban settlements.[9] On August 19, 1930 Leninsky District was abolished and merged into newly established Leningradsky Prigorodny District with the administrative center in the city of Leningrad. On August 19, 1936 Leningradsky Prigorodny District was abolished, and Vsevolozhsky District, with the administrative center in Vsevolozhskoye, was established. On November 27, 1938 the suburban settlements of Vsevolozhskaya, Berngardovka, Ilyinsky, Maryino, and Ryabovo were merged into the urban-type settlement of Vsevolozhsky, which became the center of the district. On February 1, 1963 the urban-type settlement of Vsevolozhsky was renamed Vsevolozhsk and granted the status of town of oblast significance.[10] In 2010, the administrative division of Leningrad Oblast was harmonized with the municipal division, and Vsevolozhsk was made the town of district significance.[11]
