Krasny Kholm (Russian: Кра́сный Холм) is a town and the administrative center of Krasnokholmsky District in Tver Oblast, Russia. Population: 5,608 (2010 Census);[6] 6,396 (2002 Census);[9] 7,875 (1989 Census).[10]

History

What is now Krasny Kholm was first attested as the village of Spas-na-Kholmu as early as 1518.[citation needed] The village belonged to the Antoniyev Monastery of St. Nicholas until its lands were secularized in 1764. In the course of the administrative reform carried out in 1708 by Peter the Great, the area was included into Ingermanland Governorate (known since 1710 as Saint Petersburg Governorate), but in 1727 it was transferred to Moscow Governorate.[citation needed] In 1775, Tver Viceroyalty was formed from the lands which previously belonged to Moscow and Novgorod Governorates,[citation needed] and in 1776, Krasnokholmsky Uyezd was established as a part of Tver Viceroyalty.[11] In 1776, the village was granted town status and received its current name.[citation needed] In 1796, the viceroyalty was transformed into Tver Governorate; Krasnokholmsky Uyezd was abolished, with its territory transferred to Vesyegonsky Uyezd.[11] The railway between Rybinsk and St. Petersburg reached the town in 1899, boosting its development.

On March 10, 1918, Krasnokholmsky Uyezd was re-established.[11] On April 25, 1921, it was transferred to newly established Rybinsk Governorate.[12] On February 6, 1923, Rybinsk Governorate was abolished[citation needed] and the uyezd was transferred back to Tver Governorate.[12] On March 3, 1924, Krasnokholmsky Uyezd was abolished and split between Bezhetsky and Vesyegonsky Uyezds.[12]

On July 12, 1929 the governorates and uyezds were abolished.[12] Krasnokholmsky District, with the administrative center in Krasny Kholm, was established within Bezhetsk Okrug of Moscow Oblast on the territories which previously belonged to Bezhetsky and Vesyegonsky Uyezds.[12] On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were abolished and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast.[13] On January 29, 1935, Krasnokholmsky District was transferred to newly established Kalinin Oblast.[12]

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Krasny Kholm serves as the administrative center of Krasnokholmsky District.[3] As an administrative division, it is, together with two rural localities, incorporated within Krasnokholmsky District as Krasny Kholm Urban Settlement.[2] As a municipal division, this administrative unit also has urban settlement status and is a part of Krasnokholmsky Municipal District.[4]

Economy

Industry

The main industrial enterprise in the town is Krasny Kholm Electromechanical Plant. There are enterprises of timber, textile, and food industries as well.[14]

Transportation

A railway connecting Moscow and Mga via Sonkovo and Pestovo passes through Krasny Kholm. There is a major railway station in the town.

Krasny Kholm is connected by roads with Ustyuzhna via Vesyegonsk, with Tver via Bezhetsk, and with Sandovo via Molokovo. There are also local roads with bus traffic originating from Krasny Kholm.

Culture and recreation

Krasny Kholm contains thirteen cultural heritage monuments of federal significance and additionally forty objects classified as cultural and historical heritage of local significance. The federal monuments are the buildings of the Antoniyev Krasnokholmsky Monastery.[15] On the bank of the Mologa River, within two miles from the town, lie the ruins of the Antoniyev Monastery. The monastery cathedral was commissioned by Andrey Bolshoy in 1481; it was consecrated in 1493 and was rebuilt in limestone half a century later. This building—the oldest in the oblast—was reduced by the Bolsheviks to rubble; it still stands roofless and continues to decay. The Intercession Church (1596), as well as 17th-century walls and cells, were either demolished or mutilated beyond repair.
