History
The first plantings appeared here in 1880. In honor of the chieftain, the grove was named Krasnokutskaya. In 1913, a sanatorium was opened here for the treatment of people with tuberculosis. In Soviet times, the name of the grove changed - it began to be called "Red Spring". In the 1940s, the number of trees in the grove decreased significantly due to ongoing felling. In 1942-1943, a cemetery of servicemen from Romania and Germany was located on this territory. Initially, the area of the grove was 50 hectares, now the area has decreased and as of 1992 there were 44 hectares of conservation area [3] . In the grove is a monument to the Afghan soldiers.

After a large-scale deforestation for construction, which caused massive protests by citizens, in 2014 the Novocherkassk mayor’s office organized landscaping of the grove, during which steps, pedestrian walkways were repaired, benches were set up and streets were put in order. lighting. 60 juniper bushes were planted and irrigation systems for a flower bed, which is located on the territory of the grove, were mounted. In front of the monument to the Afghan soldiers, eternal fire and guns were installed. Two sports grounds were arranged for adult visitors to the forest park, and a playground for children.
