Geography
The city is located on the Obsha River (the Western Dvina basin ), 294 km from Tver , 20 from the border with the Smolensk region .
History
Belaya Fortress has been known since the 13th century as a fortified city of the Principality of Smolensk , later as the center of a specific principality .
In 1355, Belaya was occupied by Lithuania ; one hundred and fifty years later, she moved to Russia . But the period of Moscow jurisdiction did not last long.
A hundred years later, in 1610 , after a 4-month siege, it was captured by Polish-Lithuanian troops . White becomes a bargaining chip in the auction between the Russian and Polish-Lithuanian rulers.
In 1613, the fortress surrendered due to the futility of further resistance, that is, it was surrendered without a fight by its garrison to the Russian troops of Prince Dmitry Pozharsky . The garrison consisted mainly of Scottish and Irish mercenaries in the Polish service.
In 1618, the city, by agreement , was again ceded to the Commonwealth . On May 2, 1625, the city received from the Polish king Sigismund III privileges to Magdeburg Law . [2] Bely also became the center of one of the parishes of the Catholic bishopric of Smolensk ; [3] due to the small number of such parishes, the division of the diocese into deans was not carried out.
At the beginning of the Smolensk war of 1632 - 1634 . Belaya was occupied by Russian troops. In 1634, at the last stage of the war, the city experienced a two-month siege of the troops of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, led by King Vladislav IV himself . As a result of a successful outing from the fortress, the king was wounded. The heroic defense of the city by the small garrison of Russian troops (a little more than 1000 people) favorably affected the negotiation of peace. According to the Polyanovsky world June 4, 1634 the city was returned to the Commonwealth. Soon after, Vladislav IV reaffirmed Bely’s city privileges. In 1654, the city of Belaya again became part of the Russian state .
From 1708 to 1929 the city was the center of the Belsky district of Smolensk province.
During the Great Patriotic War, the city was occupied by the troops of the Third Reich . January 29, 1942 the city of Bely was liberated by the 119th Infantry Division of the Red Army .
