Etymologically, the Old Russian "Kursk" comes from the name of the Kur River. The center of Kursk is located on two hills, on the right bank of the Tuskar River, at the confluence of the Kur River. The hydronym is possibly associated with the folk term kurya - "river bay, narrow channel of the river, backwater." Although, according to legend, it was the Kur that was once a full-flowing, navigable river, and then became shallow. If you look geographically, then in the place where the Kur now flows, there are hills on both sides, on the left downstream is the area of Pushkarnaya Street (1st, 2nd, 3rd Pushkarnaya, 1st, 2nd, 3 -ya Officerskaya) - on the right Cossack (Lower Cossack, Upper Lugovaya, Zarechnaya, etc.) - perhaps all this is the place where the Kur flowed. The same relief can be observed along the entire length of the river.
Kursk is first mentioned in the Life of Theodosius of the Caves
(not earlier than 1032, when the Dnieper left bank came into the
possession of Yaroslav the Wise). In this chronicle, Kursk is
described as a large city with developed trade and a significant
number of inhabitants; was part of Chernigov, then Pereyaslav and
Novgorod-Seversk principalities. The first mention in the Laurentian
Chronicle is under the year 1095. The year 1095 is also considered
the year of the founding of the Kursk specific principality, which
existed in the 11th-13th centuries.
The first prince of Kursk
was Izyaslav Vladimirovich, son of Vladimir Monomakh. Izyaslav built
a fortress in Kursk, and since the end of the 11th century it has
been one of the most powerful outposts on the border of Kievan Rus
(the original Kursk fortifications were dismantled in the middle of
the 17th century). The discovery of 40 lead seals of the Drogichin
type from the middle of the 12th century testifies to the presence
of a military-administrative center here.
In 1185, Prince
Vsevolod Kursky, who also ruled in Trubchevsk, sent a squad against
the Polovtsy; this unsuccessful campaign of the Russian princes is
described in the Tale of Igor's Campaign. Later, the Kuryans
participated in the battle on the Kalka.
In 1238, the city
was completely destroyed by the Tatar-Mongols, after which the Kursk
Principality was actually ruled by the Khan Baskak, who bought the
principality's tribute from the Khan of the Golden Horde. In 1285,
Kursk was again ravaged to the ground by the Nogai horde in response
to the performance of the Rylsky and Vorgol prince Oleg, together
with the Lipetsk prince Svyatoslav, against the Tatar Baskak Akhmet
in 1283.
From 1362 (when the Lithuanian prince Olgerd took
possession of the city) until the end of the 15th century, Kursk was
part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Russia, Zhamoit and others. As
"Kuresk on Tuskora" it is mentioned in the chronicle "List of
Russian cities far and near" among the Kyiv cities (since 1362 Kiev
and the territories related to it were part of the Grand Duchy of
Lithuania). As the Lithuanian city of Kursk is mentioned in the
agreement with the Teutonic Order of 1402.
At the end of the
16th and in the 17th centuries, Kursk was an important defensive
point of the Russian state (it became part of it in 1508) on the
borders with the Commonwealth and the Wild Field. There are known
references to Kursk in the “Book of the Big Drawing” (1517), in the
decree of Ivan IV the Terrible (1582; the sovereign ordered the
exile of “kromeshniks, rebels, rebels” “to the outlying cities of
Sevsk and Kursk”). In the 15th - early 16th centuries, the raids of
the Crimean Tatars and Nogais led to the desolation of the city.
Only almost a century after the annexation of Kursk to the
Russian state, the city arose anew in a new place (on two hills, on
the right bank of the Tuskori River, at the confluence of the Kura
River); The date of re-foundation of Kursk is 1586. In 1596, a new
fortress was erected, in the garrison of which in 1616 there were
over 1.3 thousand people. At the beginning of the 17th century,
Polish-Lithuanian detachments repeatedly attacked Kursk (in 1612,
1616, 1617, 1634), Crimean Tatars, Nogais, but the Kursk fortress
was never taken. The siege of 1612 and the siege of 1634 were
especially difficult. Residents from Orel and other southern Russian
cities were resettled in Kursk (in 1678, there were already 2.8
thousand inhabitants in Kursk). The city developed due to its
favorable geographical position (the shortest route from Moscow to
the Crimea, the road leading from Kursk to Kyiv). A foundry was
organized, kvass and salt industries developed. There was an active
trade (mainly grain) with the Little Russian lands (Gostiny Dvor was
built in the middle of the 17th century).
In 1708, Kursk was
assigned to the Kiev province, in 1727 - to the Belgorod province,
and since 1779 it has been the center (main city) of the Kursk
governorate (Field Marshal P. A. Rumyantsev was the first governor
of Kursk). In 1785, the year the City Duma was formed, there were
7,590 inhabitants in Kursk. Since 1797, it has been the center
(provincial city) of the Kursk province (the first governor was S.
D. Burnashev). In the 18th century, Kursk became a major trading
city and finally lost its border significance. It developed leather,
brick, and lime production, and numerous stone structures were built
(shopping arcades, etc.). A shipping company operated in Kursk
(managed by the governor himself) - merchant ships went down the
Seim towards Kyiv.
The main event of the city was (and still
is) the annual religious procession from the Znamensky Monastery
(founded in 1612) to the Korenskaya Hermitage, next to which the
Korenskaya Fair arose, one of the largest in the country (it was
transferred to Kursk in 1878).
After a great fire that
devastated Kursk in 1781, on February 26, 1782, Catherine ΙΙ
approved the "Plan for the provincial city of Kursk" - the first
master plan for Kursk. According to the plan, the central position
was to be occupied by shopping arcades (which were erected on the
central square, which received the name Red). In 1768, the stone
Ilyinsky Church appeared (it was famous for its choir of singers),
in 1778 the Sergiev-Kazan Cathedral in the Baroque style was built;
by 1778, the Trinity-Sergius Cathedral with rich interior decoration
was completed.
In 1780, the first school was opened in the
city, in 1783 - a noble school. In 1808 a men's gymnasium was
organized, in 1817 a theological seminary. The women's gymnasium was
opened in Kursk only in 1870.
In 1797, a printing house was
opened in Kursk. Initially published mainly fiction. In 1792, a
theater appeared in the city (private, by the Barsov brothers), on
the stage of which Mikhail Shchepkin made his debut in 1805.
At the beginning of the 19th century, Kursk was not only a
commercial, but also an industrial center. In 1846 there were 70
factories and plants in the city. At the beginning of the 19th
century, the city already had a hotel (maintained by Colonel
Poltoratskaya). In memory of the events of 1812, the Znamensky
Cathedral was erected in the city (consecrated in 1826).
Since the end of 1868, Kursk has been a junction station for
railways (traffic along the Moscow-Kursk railway was opened on
September 30, 1868, when Alexander II, returning from the Crimea,
went by special train from Kursk to Moscow). In 1878, from the Kursk
station, located in the Yamskaya Sloboda (now part of the Kursk
Railway District), a railway line was diverted to the city center,
where the city station (Kursk II) was built. At the end of the 19th
century, Kursk became an important center of the food industry
(flour and sugar); in 1883, a candle factory was put into operation
(since 1935, a chemical-pharmaceutical plant). Urban improvement
developed rapidly: in 1874, the appearance of a water supply system
dates back, 1897 - a tram service (organized by the Belgian
Joint-Stock Company of the Railway in Kursk (“Tramways de KOURSK”),
which also carried out street lighting work). After the redemption
reform of 1861, banks began to open in the city - a branch of the
International Commercial, city public, etc.
As of 1900, the
city of Kursk, due to its location, had a very picturesque view. A
lot of greenery, all the coastal slopes of the Tuskori River were
occupied by fruit orchards, a relatively small number of factories
and factories favorably distinguished it from other provincial
cities located in the southern part of central Russia.
In
1903, the Kursk Museum of Local Lore received its first visitors.
Soon the first cinemas appeared in Kursk (Illusion, Mirage, Giant,
etc.), a large library with a reading room, two public gardens -
Lazarevsky and Livadia, in the latter there was a summer theater. In
1896, a neo-Gothic Catholic church was built in the city, restored
and again transferred to the Church at the end of the 20th century.
In total, at the beginning of the 20th century, 21 Orthodox and one
Edinoverie churches, a Catholic church, two synagogues, Lutheran
churches, a male and female monasteries operated in the city.
At the beginning of the 20th century, with the dominant role of
the food industry (the brewery No. 1 operated in Kursk, one of the
largest in Russia, owned by A. K. Kvilits), other industries also
developed; Thus, in the 1900s, 4 sieve-punching workshops appeared
in the city (of which the largest was Tikhonov's workshop, whose
products were sent to the foreign market - to Germany,
Austria-Hungary, etc.). Several machine-building enterprises were
organized (in 1914 there were 7 of them, one of them was a railway
one). Working conditions at the Kursk enterprises were difficult,
and strikes often took place (for example, in 1901-1903, workers
from the Kursk sugar factories went on strike). Kursk workers
participated in a general political strike during the revolution of
1905-1907; the strike was organized by the Kursk railway workers.
On November 26 (December 9), 1917, Soviet power was established
in the city.
On September 20, 1919, volunteer troops under
the command of General Denikin entered the city. November 19, 1919
Kursk was taken by the Red Army.
In 1932, Yamskaya Sloboda
was included in Kursk, and in 1935 a tram was launched into it. In
1936, the territory of the city of Kursk was divided into Leninsky
district (left bank of the Kur), Dzerzhinsky district (right bank of
the Kur) and Kirovsky district (Yamskaya Sloboda). In 1937, the
Stalinsky district (the southern outskirts of the city) was created.
In 1939, Cossack Sloboda, Pushkarnaya Sloboda, Streletskaya Sloboda
and the outskirts of the village of Ryshkovo (railway station and
construction site) became part of Kursk, while Cossack Sloboda
became Dzerzhinsky District, Pushkarnaya Sloboda became Leninsky
District, Streletskaya Sloboda became Kirovsky District.
At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, Kursk
was defended not only by the Red Army, but also by the people's
militia. On August 29, 1941, Kursk was bombed for the first time by
German aircraft. In Kursk, 4 regiments of the people's militia and
several destruction battalions were formed, which took part in
defensive battles. In early November, German troops approached the
city, on November 1-2, defensive battles were fought for the city.;
on the night of November 3, Kursk was surrendered to the enemy
(according to other sources, November 4). The city was badly damaged
during the fighting during the liberation from the German
occupation, which lasted until February 8, 1943, when the city was
liberated by the 60th Army under the command of General I. D.
Chernyakhovsky; during the occupation, about three thousand
residents of the city were shot, almost ten thousand were driven to
Germany, over 10 thousand residents of Kursk died of starvation and
epidemics. The total material damage from destruction during the
occupation and battles for the city amounted to more than 742
million rubles.

during the Kharkov offensive operation, which was carried out on
February 2 - March 3, 1943.
On February 8, the city of Kursk

The Battle of Kursk is also memorable (July 5, 1943 -
August 23, 1943, it is also the Battle of Kursk, during which the
Red Army stopped the fascist offensive, prepared by them under the
name Operation Citadel (German unternehmen Zitadelle), and, itself
going into offensive, "straightened the Kursk Bulge", freeing the
lands on its flanks (including the cities of Orel and Belgorod). The
Battle of Kursk in its scope, involved forces and means, tension,
results and military-political consequences, is one of the key

days - from July 5 to August 23, 1943.
During the war, 245

The restoration of the city's enterprises began
already in February 1943; at the same time, the cultural life of the
city was revived - on February 19, a cinema was opened, on February 27 -
a drama theater. On October 6, 1949, the territory of the Accumulator

Transport
Dedicated lanes
For urban public transport in the
city center, there are dedicated lanes - along Alexander Nevsky, Sonin,
Lenin, Krasny Oktyabr, Radishchev, Perekalsky streets, as well as along
Red Square and Pobeda Avenue. Dedicated lanes are designed to give
priority to public transport in general traffic. The need for their
appearance arose due to the fact that the intensity of traffic in some
sections required the separation of the main flow of cars and route
transport so that the latter would not have to stand in traffic jams for
a long time.
Automated fare control system
On September 5,
2011, an automated fare control system (ASKOP) was put into operation in
Kursk. The introduction of the system into operation is carried out by
the Integrated Ticketing Systems of Kursk. The entry was to take place
in 3 stages. At the initial stage, a partially open version of the
system was implemented, in which the sale of tickets and control of
travel using social cards is carried out in the public transport cabin
by conductors with portable validators, the second stage involves the
installation of stationary validators, the third - the commissioning of
turnstiles. After the introduction and installation of the turnstiles
was completed, it turned out that the number of passengers boarding
increased several times, so since 2012 the turnstiles have been removed
from all public transport routes. Currently, fares are paid using
portable validators.

Implementation of ASCOP
Pilot implementation of ASCOP "closed type" began in April 2011.
According to the administration of the city of Kursk, the experiment was
successful and showed that the turnstiles would not create difficulties
for passengers, however, the “closed type” fare collection system caused
numerous complaints from the townspeople, in particular, non-compliance
with the bus schedule was noted due to an increase in boarding time, as
well as Significant challenges faced by the disabled, the elderly and
passengers with wheelchairs getting on and off public transport.
Nevertheless, the administration of the city of Kursk made a decision on
the phased commissioning of the passage control system from September
2011, despite everything, control systems were installed, but were never
put into operation. Starting in 2012, all travel control systems were
removed from all routes, and magnetic cards were canceled.
