Lebedyan (Template:Lang-ru) is a town and the administrative center of Lebedyansky District in Lipetsk Oblast, Russia, located on the upper Don River, 62 kilometers (39 mi) northwest of Lipetsk, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: 21,012 (2010 Census);[2] 22,966 (2002 Census);[7] 22,850 (1989 Soviet census).[8]
History
It was founded in 1613 largely to guard the holdings of I. N. Romanov, the Tsar's uncle, and served as a border outpost protecting South Russia from the Crimean Tatars' incursions.[citation needed] The Trinity Monastery was established in 1621 and several churches were built by the end of the century; they are all now reduced to ruins.
Chartered in 1779,[citation needed] Lebedyan developed in the 19th century as a center of horse racing and horse breeding. The locals claim that the first racetrack in Russia was opened here in 1826. The Agricultural Society of Lebedyan, founded in 1847, was influential in preparing the emancipation reform of 1861.
Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Lebedyan serves as the administrative center of Lebedyansky District.[1] As an administrative division, it is incorporated within Lebedyansky District as Lebedyan Town Under District Jurisdiction.[1] As a municipal division, Lebedyan Town Under District Jurisdiction is incorporated within Lebedyansky Municipal District as Lebedyan Urban Settlement.[3]
Economy
The town is the location of the largest fruit juice manufacturer in Eastern Europe, Lebedyansky.
Architecture
Lebedyan has two cathedrals, both dedicated to the icon of the Theotokos of Kazan. The old and neglected cathedral goes back to the 18th century, while the larger cathedral on the market square was designed in the Empire style and consecrated in 1839.
Notable people
Lebedyan is the birthplace of Yevgeny Zamyatin. Other residents of the town include Mikhail Bulgakov and Andrey Bely.
