Imeni Sverdlova, Urban settlement in Leningrad Oblast, Russia
Imeni Sverdlova is an urban settlement positioned on the right bank of the Neva River, lying to the southeast of Saint Petersburg. It faces Ust-Izhora settlement across the water and occupies land shaped by the river's geography.
The settlement originated in 1875 around a brick factory established by merchant Pirogov as industrial activity expanded near Saint Petersburg. This early manufacturing foundation shaped its growth.
Local residents maintain Russian settlement traditions while working in construction materials production and food processing industries within the community.
The settlement connects to Saint Petersburg via the M18 highway system, making access straightforward from the main city. Postal codes 188682 and 188683 serve the local area for resident services.
Manufacturing facilities here produce construction materials and process food items, including packaging tea and coffee for distribution beyond the local region. These operations represent a small but consistent industrial presence.
