History

[edit]

In the early 18th century, Peter the Great ordered the resettlement of peasants from the Msta River to the current location of Podporozhye to organize navigation along the Svir River, known for its nearly impassable rapids.[9] In the late 19th century, these minor settlements next to the Svir rapids (Sigovets and Medvedets) received the name of Podporozhye (literally, "under the rapids").[citation needed] By the beginning of the 20th century, Podporozhye was a village and a part of Lodeynopolsky Uyezd in Olonets Governorate.[10] In 1922, Olonets Governorate was abolished and Lodeynopolsky Uyezd was transferred to Petrograd Governorate (later Leningrad Oblast).[10]

On August 1, 1927, the uyezds in Leningrad Oblast were abolished and Podporozhsky District with the administrative center in Podporozhye was established.[10] It was a part of Lodeynoye Pole Okrug of Leningrad Oblast.[2] In 1932, the administrative center of the district was moved to the selo of Vazhiny.[2] In 1936, the construction of the Upper Svir Hydroelectric Station, launched in 1952, began. On July 5, 1937, Podporozhye was transformed into a work settlement and on September 11, 1937, the district's administrative center was moved back to Podroporozhye.[2] Between 1941 and 1944, during World War II, Podporozhye was occupied by Finnish troops.[2] On June 28, 1956, Podporozhye was granted town status.[2]
