Otradnoe (city)

Ivanovo Volost , which was part of the Gorodensky graveyard of the Orekhovsky district of Vodskaya pyatiny , is mentioned in the Novgorod census salary book of 1500 ^[4] . It consisted of eight villages and ten courtyards ^[4] .

On the map of Ingermanland (as of 1676), compiled by topographer August Bergenheim in 1827, the villages of Tushina fall and Pyhajockiby are marked on the site of the modern city ^[5] .

The Russian historian M. I. Pylyaev in his book “The Forgotten Past of the Environs of Petersburg” (1889) writes:

“... Where the village of Ivanovskoye lies and the ruins of the former Pella palace stand, Russians lived there during the time of Swedish rule. Thus, it is known from the Novgorod annals that here, “Saturday Pokhabny” lived on the thresholds (thresholds), a Novgorodian whom the Swedes captured. ... " ^[6]

18th century

The settlements Ivanovskoye and Pella on the site of the modern city have been known since 1708 as a summer residence of the nobility of St. Petersburg.

“... it is known that under Empress Elizabeth Petrovna this area was owned by Prince Dolgorukov, whose wife, nee Sklyaeva, bought it in 1762, Ivan Ivanovich Neplyuev, the famous chick of Peter the Great ...” ^[6]

“... Behind the barracks, to the right of the high road, there are signs of a once huge garden. It begins with a round pond; in the middle of which is a round islet, overgrown with forest; in the old days there were bridges to him from all sides; in the fifties there were still a few rotting piles from them, and the pond was so deep that it was impossible to go into the ford; in summer, the island was a beautiful compartment of greenery. Behind the pond there was a straight, long alley, the trees of which the peasants gradually exterminated. ... " ^[6]

In the place of the modern city of Otradny in the XVIII century there was the estate of diplomat Ivan Ivanovich Neplyuyev , acquired by Catherine II from his heirs on November 7, 1784 for the grandson of Alexander . The estate was named Pella - in memory of the ancient capital of Macedonia , where Alexander the Great was born. According to another version, this name of the area was given by Peter I in memory of the Pella Strait on Lake Ladoga , which divides the islands of Lukgol and Uksinsky ^[6] . The Pella Palace Estate has become one of Catherine II's favorite vacation spots. In 1785-1794, the magnificent imperial palace and park complex , which consisted of numerous buildings connected by galleries, arcades and colonnades, was built according to the project of architect I.E. Starov . Catherine II spoke of the palace under construction: "All my suburban palaces are only huts compared to Pella, which is erected like a Phoenix."

Under Paul I, the castle was dismantled, the material went to the construction of the Mikhailovsky (Engineering) castle in St. Petersburg (only the buildings of the postal yard and stables - now the management of the Pella factory ) have survived.
