Tolmachyovo (Russian: Толмачёво) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) in Luzhsky District of Leningrad Oblast, Russia, located on the right bank of the Luga River, northeast of the town of Luga. Population: 3,232 (2010 Census);[3] 3,378 (2002 Census);[7] 3,948 (1989 Census).[8]

History

The settlement was founded in 1858 and served the railway station of Preobrazhenskaya. The name is related to the Preobrazhensky Regiment which was stationed nearby. An early enterprise in the settlement was a sawmill. By the end of the 19th century, the settlement was also a popular summer house area.[5] At the time, it belonged to Luzhsky Uyezd of Saint Petersburg Governorate (subsequently Petrograd Governorate and Leningrad Governorate). In 1919, the station and the settlement were renamed Tolmachyovo to commemorate Nikolay Tolmachyov, a bolshevik killed in the area during the Russian Civil War.

On August 1, 1927, the uyezds were abolished and Luzhsky District, with the administrative center in the town of Luga, was established. The governorates were also abolished, and the district was a part of Luga Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were abolished as well, and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast. On November 9, 1938 Tolmachyovo, which previously had the status of suburban settlement, was granted urban settlement status. Between 1941 and 1944, during World War II, Tolmachyovo was occupied by German troops.[6]
