Troitsk, Chelyabinsk Oblast
Troitsk (Russian: Тро́ицк) is a town in Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia, located 175 kilometers (109 mi) east of the southern Ural Mountains and approximately 110 kilometers (68 mi) south of Chelyabinsk on the border with Kazakhstan. It stands on the east-flowing Uy River, a branch of the Tobol River. Population: 78,372 (2010 census); 83,862 (2002 Census); 90,077 (1989 Soviet census).
Troitsk was founded in 1743 by Ivan Neplyuyev as a head fortress of the Orenburg Line of forts during the Bashkir War of 1735-1740 and to protect the southern borders of Russia. It played a major role in the rebellion of Pugachev, who besieged and captured the town in 1774. Since 1804, it was the seat of the Troitsky Uyezd in the Orenburg Governorate.
The main occupations of the residents were carting and trade. In terms of trade, Troitsk ranked second in the Orenburg Governorate, behind Orenburg. Industry was underdeveloped. In 1873, there were 715 artisans, ten tallow-boiling workshops, nine tanneries, and a tallow candle factory. The city had two mosques, an Orthodox church, a hospital, and boys' and girls' middle schools.
From 1911 to 1915, the Kazakh magazine Ay Qap was published in Troitsk.
The Uy and Uvelka Rivers merge within the town boundaries and form a water body which serves as a reservoir for the nearby power station.
The landscape around the town is flat, although river valleys are hilly. The town is situated on the border of a forest-steppe zone. The climate is continental. The average temperature in January is −14 °C (7 °F), and +20 °C (68 °F) in July.
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Troitsk serves as the administrative center of Troitsky District, even though it is not a part of it. As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as the Town of Troitsk—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts. As a municipal division, the Town of Troitsk is incorporated as Troitsky Urban Okrug.
Troitsk serves as a railway junction and a supply and trading center for the southern Ural Mountains mining district. Through Troitsk trains pass to the Republic of Kazakhstan and further to the states of Central Asia. Other lines connect the Ural Mountains with the southern regions of Russia.
