History
[edit]Bondari has a history dating back to its foundation in 1699 as a village on the land of Odnodvortsy with Arable Corner. Initially, the village was named Anastasievskoe and in 1725, it was granted by Empress Catherine I to the Master of the Horse V.P. Pospelov, who transferred serfs from various estates to the village. The inhabitants were engaged in agriculture and crafts, including cooperage, and Bondari was known as the center of cloth production. The first cloth factory was built in 1726, and by the 1870s, there were already three cloth factories in the village. In the mid-19th century, beet sugar and distilleries were established, adding to the village's economy.
