Pushkinskiye Gory, Work settlement in Pushkinogorsky District, Russia.
Pushkinskiye Gory is a work settlement in Pushkinogorsky District, located in northwestern Russia amid forests and rolling hills. The community developed around a monastery established centuries ago, which shapes the character of the landscape today.
The place originated from a monastery founded in 1569 as a defensive structure under Tsar Ivan the Terrible. The surrounding settlement later adopted the name of writer Pushkin in 1925, marking a shift in the area's identity.
The settlement took its name in 1925 to honor writer Alexander Pushkin, linking the place to Russian literary traditions. The community grew around the monastery, which remains central to how locals and visitors experience the area.
The settlement sits in a rural, forested area, so plan adequate travel time when visiting. Visitors should prepare for variable weather and wear sturdy shoes, as exploring the surroundings involves walking through natural terrain.
The nearby Svyatogórski Monastery held a special place in the life of Alexander Pushkin, who visited it multiple times. This personal connection between the writer and the site motivated the area's renaming decades later.
