History
The excavated monuments of the medieval capital of Volga Bulgaria, Bolghar, are within easy reach from the town. The modern town of Spassk was formed from the village of Chertykovo on the bank of Bezdna River in 1781.[5] It was renamed Spassk-Tatarsky in 1926, then Kuybyshev (in honor of Valerian Kuybyshev) in 1935, before getting its present name in 1991.[citation needed]
In 1953, the town was moved from the place of its foundation closer to historical Bolghar, due the construction of Kuybyshev Reservoir and flooding of the original Spassk.
Administrative and municipal status
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Bolgar serves as the administrative center of Spassky District, to which it is directly subordinated.[1] As a municipal division, the town of Bolgar, together with the selo of Bolgary, is incorporated within Spassky Municipal District as Bolgar Urban Settlement.[2]
