Russian Crane

The height above sea level is 181 m. The village is located in the north of the Upper Mamon district, 27 km from the district center - the village of Verkhny Mamon.

The Russian Crane was formed in the 2nd half of the 18th century by peasant odnodvoryati.

Initially, until the middle of the XIX century, it was called Cranes.

Since there was a village Zhuravka with the Cherkasy population on the left bank of the Don , the toponym Russian Zhuravka was assigned to the settlement of Zhuravli.

In February 1918, a revolutionary committee was formed in the Russian Crane, and then a volost council. Ivan Frolovich Koshelev was chosen as the chairman. In March 1919, a party cell was created in the village, and in March 1920, the Komsomol cell. In 1925, the Partnership for the joint cultivation of the land was created. In 1929, the collective farms "Star" and "Proletarian" were formed. In 1932, both collective farms merged into the Country of Soviets collective farm under the chairmanship of Pelagia Pavlovna Vorozhbitova. The collective farm lasted until the mid 90-ies of the XX century.

According to the 2000 census, 2152 people lived in the village and there were 988 farmsteads. According to the 2010 census - 1964 residents and 995 farmsteads, according to the 2019 census - 1614 people.

In the village operates the Temple of St. Great Martyr Demetrius of Solunsky.

The Demetrius Church was built and consecrated until 1861.

Bogoroditskaya church - until 1900. Both churches were destroyed in the 30s; from their bricks shops, workshops of MTS were built.

Since 1995, in the Russian Zhuravka, church service was resumed in the house (90 Centralnaya Street), which was redone and consecrated as the church of St. Demetrius of Solunsky. Now in the church services are regularly held.
