History
Since the X century, the territory on which at the cape at the confluence of the Sozh River its tributary, the Pronya, which gave rise to the Propoisk settlement, was part of Kievan Rus [3] . The first record of a settlement on the site of the city dates from 1136 . In 1197, a settlement fortified with wooden-earthen defensive walls (the ancient names are Prupoy, Proposhek, Pruposhesk, Proposhesk) as part of the princedom of Mstislavsky was annexed by prince Mstislav Romanovich to the Smolensk princedom [4] [5] [6] .
In 1359, the Principality of Mstislav was annexed by the Lithuanian Prince Olgerd to the Principality of Lithuania . In the list of Russian cities near and far near the end of the XIV century, Propoisk was listed among the cities that had previously belonged to the Kiev princes and transferred to the Lithuanian prince Skirgailo .
The groove was repeatedly ravaged by military operations - during the uprising of S. Nalivaiko (1595), during the war of Russia and the Commonwealth (1654-1667), during the Great Northern War (1700-1721).
It was the administrative center of the Propoi elder . In Propoisk in 1607, False Dmitry II first appeared, where he was captured as a scout. In 1690, in the town of 3 churches: Prechistenskaya, St. Nicholas and St. Yuri. In 1708, near Propoisk, Russian troops defeated the corps of the Swedish general Levengaupt .
After the first partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1772), it passed to the Russian Empire and was donated by Catherine II to Prince A. M. Golitsyn [7] .
Previously, the city was a port, as symbolized by the anchor on the old coat of arms of the city, but since 2005 the coat of arms has been changed, now it depicts a golden monument erected in honor of the victory of Russian troops in 1708 near the village of Lesnaya [8] . In 1851, the Moscow-Warsaw highway passed through Propoisk.

Title
Until 1945, Slavgorod was called Propoisk . The name Prupoy, Propoy originally refers to the water area where the Pronya river merged with the Sozh . The word “ singing ” means “a strong whirlpool formed during the confluence of rivers” (in particular, when the Proni flows into Sozh). Nearby was a settlement, which, like the canal, was called " Prupoy ". In the future, the name of the city, as it should be in such cases (when the name is formed from the designations of rivers or sections of the river), was used with the suffix -sk - Propoisk . [9] Renamed (simultaneously with the return of city status) in connection with the assignment of the division that liberated the city, the title of the guard. The name "Guards Propoi Division" turned out to be dissonant. According to legend, Stalin personally gave the new name to Propoisku - Slavgorod, inscribing it in the list of cities in honor of which Victory salute was given in Moscow. Stalin allegedly decided that “Propoisk” was not a very consonant name for such a historical moment. [ten]
The name "Slavgorod" was assigned despite the fact that the city of the same name already existed in Altai since 1914, and the village of the same name since 1938 - in the Dnepropetrovsk region of the Ukrainian SSR.
