Lipetsk Oblast, Federal administrative division in Central Russia.
Description
Lipetsk Oblast is a federal administrative division in central Russia that stretches across rolling uplands in the west and flatter countryside in the east. The area covers eighteen districts, with fields, forests, rivers, and smaller towns connected by a network of roads.
History
The territory came into being in early 1954, when Soviet authorities merged portions of five neighboring regions to form a new administrative unit. Before that, the lands belonged to different administrative boundaries that shifted several times during the Soviet reorganizations after World War II.
Culture
The area takes its name from Lipetsk, a city that drew its own from the linden groves that once grew there. In villages across the territory, residents maintain a traditional Russian way of life, with wooden houses, small gardens, and Orthodox communities that gather regularly.
Practical
The area is best explored in spring and summer, when roads are dry and days are longer. Travelers should expect longer drives between places, as many sites are spread far apart.
