Ostrov, Administrative center in Pskov Oblast, Russia
Ostrov stands on the banks of the Velikaya River, positioned 55 kilometers south of Pskov at an elevation of 60 meters above sea level.
The settlement emerged as a military fortress in the 13th century, receiving its first written mention in historical records during the year 1342.
The 1897 census revealed a diverse population where 80 percent spoke Russian, while Jewish, German, Polish, and Latvian communities maintained their presence.
The city connects to major transportation routes, including a railway line between Saint Petersburg and Latvia, along with significant road infrastructure.
During World War II, from 1941 to 1944, local residents formed an underground resistance group while the city remained under German occupation.
