Sudzha

Sudzha (Russian: Суджа, [ˈsudʐə]) is a town and the administrative center of Sudzhansky District in Kursk Oblast, Russia, located on the Sudzha and Oleshnya rivers 105 kilometers (65 mi) southwest of Kursk, the administrative center of the oblast. It has a population of 5,127 people. It is the natural gas exchange feeder where the Trans-Siberian pipeline meets the Brotherhood pipeline. The town was occupied by Ukrainian forces between August 15, 2024 and March 12, 2025 as a result of an incursion into the region.

In the Middle Ages, the territory formed part of the appanage principality of Rylsk [ru], which was annexed by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania before its final annexation by the Grand Principality of Moscow in the early modern period.[better source needed]

Sudzha was founded in 1664. It was initially a town of the Sumy Regiment within Sloboda Ukraine, and was fortified with ramparts and a moat.

In 1708 it was included within the Kiev Governorate, and in 1779, it became the seat of the Sudzhansky Uyezd within the Kursk Governorate.

In 1870, the town had a population of 4,482 and the suburbs had a population of 5,624. In 1869, there were 393 craftsmen in the town, and in 1871 there were nine factories. In the late 19th century, the town hosted four annual fairs and two weekly markets. According to the 1897 Russian Empire census, the town had a population of 7,433, of which 61.2% spoke Ukrainian, 37.2% spoke Russian, 1.2% spoke Yiddish and 0.3% spoke Polish.

In November–December 1918, Sudzha was the seat of the Provisional Workers' and Peasants' Government of Ukraine before its relocation to Belgorod. It formed part of the Ukrainian SSR until 1922, when it was transferred to the Russian SFSR.

During World War II, Sudzha was occupied by German troops from October 18, 1941, to March 3, 1943.[citation needed]

Later in the 20th century, a natural gas pipeline transit station was established near Sudzha. A gas metering station was installed. As of 2024, the output was fed to the Urengoy–Pomary–Uzhhorod pipeline.
