Imeni Morozova (Imeni Morozova)
Imeni Morozova (и́мени Моро́зова) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) in Vsevolozhsky District of Leningrad Oblast, Russia, located on the bank of Lake Ladoga by the source of the Neva River, northeast of Saint Petersburg. Municipally it is incorporated as Morozovskoye Urban Settlement, one of the eight urban settlements in the district. Population:

In the end of the 19th century, the area where the settlement was currently located was occupied by the datcha (a summer estate) by Vladimir Rennenkampf. In 1882, the lands were given on lease to Vladimir Ronchevsky to build the Shlisselburg Gunpowder Plant, which started operation in 1883. Imeni Morozova developed as a settlement serving the plant. At the time, it belonged to Shlisselburgsky Uyezd of Saint Petersburg Governorate. In 1913, the governorate was renamed Petrograd. On February 14, 1923 Shlisselburgsky Uyezd was merged into Petrogradsky Uyezd. In January, 1924 the uyezd and the governorate were renamed Leningradsky.

In 1922, the gunpowder plant was renamed Imeni Morozova Plant, for Nikolay Morozov. The settlement was renamed as well, and it was administratively subordinated to the town of Shlisselburg.

On August 1, 1927, the uyezds were abolished and Leninsky District, with the administrative center in the settlement of Vsevolozhskoye, was established. The governorates were also abolished, and the district was a part of Leningrad Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. On August 19, 1930 Leninsky District was abolished and merged into newly established Leningradsky Prigorodny District with the administrative center in the city of Leningrad. On August 10, 1934 Imeni Morozova was detached from the town of Shlisselburg (which was the town of oblast significance and not a part of the district) and transferred to Leningradsky Prigorodny District. On August 19, 1936 Leningradsky Prigorodny District was abolished, and Vsevolozhsky District, with the administrative center in Vsevolozhskoye, was established. Imeni Morozova became a part of Vsevolozhsky District.

During World War II, Imeni Morozova was not occupied and played a key role in channeling supplies to the city of Leningrad. In particular, a temporary bridge over the Neva was built south of the settlement and was used for the transport of goods.

Russia (Россия,, ), or the Russian Federation, is a transcontinental country spanning Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. It is the largest country in the world, with its internationally recognised territory covering 17098246 km2, and encompassing one-eighth of Earth's inhabitable landmass. Russia extends across eleven time zones and shares land boundaries with fourteen countries. It is the world's ninth-most populous country and Europe's most populous country, with a population of 146 million people. The country's capital and largest city is Moscow. Saint Petersburg is Russia's cultural centre and second-largest city. Other major urban areas include Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Nizhny Novgorod, and Kazan.

The East Slavs emerged as a recognisable group in Europe between the 3rd and 8th centuries CE. The first East Slavic state, Kievan Rus', arose in the 9th century, and in 988, it adopted Orthodox Christianity from the Byzantine Empire. Rus' ultimately disintegrated, with the Grand Duchy of Moscow growing to become the Tsardom of Russia. By the early 18th century, Russia had vastly expanded through conquest, annexation, and the efforts of Russian explorers, developing into the Russian Empire, which remains the third-largest empire in history. However, with the Russian Revolution in 1917, Russia's monarchic rule was abolished and replaced by the Russian SFSR—the world's first constitutionally socialist state. Following the Russian Civil War, the Russian SFSR established the Soviet Union (with three other Soviet republics), within which it was the largest and principal constituent. At the expense of millions of lives, the Soviet Union underwent rapid industrialization in the 1930s, and later played a decisive role for the Allies of World War II by leading large-scale efforts on the Eastern Front. With the onset of the Cold War, it competed with the United States for global ideological influence; the Soviet era of the 20th century saw some of the most significant Russian technological achievements, including the first human-made satellite and the first human expedition into outer space.
