animals or try to catch young cubs, they don’t attack people.
Foxes
can carry rabies. Avoid contact if the animal behaves inappropriately.
There are poisonous snakes - vipers, they are active from April to
October, avoid meeting them. If you can't tell the difference between a
viper and a snake, avoid contact with all snakes just in case. After
being bitten by a snake, consult a doctor immediately.
Small but
unpleasant animals - ticks - can (rather rarely) carry borreliosis.
Found in forests and ravines of the Belgorod region. Ticks are active
from mid-March to early October, but especially from late April to
August. Wear tight-fitting clothing; do not wear shorts or short-sleeved
shirts. After visiting the scaffolding and beams, inspect the body.

It arose in 1713 as the settlement of Shibekin. Named after the surname of the local administrator, Lieutenant Colonel I.D. Shibeko, who led the settlement of this settlement. Later the name was distorted in Shebekino. Since 1938 - a city.
Located on the border with Ukraine, 7 km from the Seversky Donets River, 32 km along the highway from Belgorod on the Nezhegol River.
The date of origin of the Shebekino settlement is considered to be
1713, when it was first marked on Russian maps. However, it is likely
that there was some kind of small settlement in this place before, which
arose in the 17th century during the development of these territories by
Russians and Ukrainians. Moreover, the Belgorod defensive line passed
very close to this place and one of its guards was located.
In
1654, on the site of a suburb of modern Shebekin, the fortress city of
Nezhegolsk was built, which was part of the Belgorod defensive line.
The settlement received its name from the surname of the first
landowner, who, having settled his serfs here, founded the village.
Lieutenant Colonel Ivan Dmitrievich Shibeko, who was one of the
participants in the Battle of Poltava, bought 160 quarters of land from
the nobleman N. R. Maslov. He settled his serfs on the right bank of the
Nezhegol River at the confluence of the Rzhev Yar into it. On his
estate, in addition to the estate, he also built a mill.
In 1716,
I. D. Shibeko and his wife died without leaving children. The entire
estate passed into rental ownership to Alexei Vasilyevich Makarov, the
former cabinet secretary of Peter I. After his death, Shebekino became
the object of controversy and in the 18th century it changed several
owners, among whom N.F. Golovin was famous. In 1785, the Shebekino
settlement came into the possession of Princess Ekaterina Petrovna
Baryatinskaya.
In the center of the settlement in 1792, “at the
expense of parishioners and willing donors,” the wooden Church of the
Tikhvin Mother of God was built.
In the 19th century, the settlement became the volost center of the
Belgorod district of the Kursk province.
In 1836, the Shebekino
settlement was bought by Lieutenant General Alexey Maksimovich Rebinder
(1795-1869). With the transfer of ownership to the Rebinder family, the
active development of industry began in the settlement.
In 1839,
the owner of the settlement built a primitive sugar factory on the banks
of the Nezhegol River, which in 1848 was reconstructed and enlarged and
named Alekseevsky after the owner.
In 1847, a brick factory was
built, which was intended to provide the enterprise with building
materials.
By 1850, the Rebinder beet sugar factory became one of
the largest in the Kursk province.
Alexei Maksimovich's son,
Alexander, in 1867 built mechanical workshops for repairing agricultural
equipment in Shebekin, and in 1875 - a distillery and a two-story mill
with a churn.
In 1888, the sugar factory was reconstructed, the
main and two side buildings were completed, and a water pump was
installed.
In 1890, the Shebekinsky and Novo-Tavolzhansky sugar
factories produced products worth 1 million 575 thousand rubles. To
simplify the export of such volumes of products, in 1896, during the
construction of the railway line from Belgorod to Kupyansk, access
railway tracks were laid from the Nezhegol station to the Botkino
freight station in Novo-Tavolzhanka and to the Rebinderovo freight
station in the Shebekino settlement.
In 1875, Alexander
Alekseevich, together with his brother Nikolai, on the initiative of
agronomist Vasily Krainsky, founded the Maryinsk Agricultural School in
Shebekin for workers for 120 people. It accepted students at least 14
years old, who were trained by 3 teachers in field work, carpentry and
plumbing.
At the turn of the 1880s, a new stone church with the
same name was built next to the old church. Part of the funds for its
construction was allocated by the Rebinder family.
In 1905, A. A. Rebinder built a power plant at the sugar factory,
which provided electricity not only to industrial enterprises, but also
to residential buildings. At the beginning of the 20th century, the
Alekseevsky plant became the largest in Russia, and the daily production
of sugar amounted to 15 cars of 900 poods each, which gave an income of
up to 3 million rubles per year. In 1914, A. A. Rebinder built a tannery
and slaughterhouse, employing 1,385 workers.
Before the
revolution, in Shebekin, in addition to the sugar and tanneries, there
were alcohol, chalk and brick factories, as well as agricultural
workshops.
In the Fedorovka economy there was a stud farm (stud
farm). To breed more hardy breeds of horses, A. A. Rebinder bought
several stud stallions abroad.
From September 1 (Old Style) to
October 25 (Old Style) 1917 as part of the Russian Republic. Then the
Civil War began in Russia (1918-1923).
Since December 1922, part
of the RSFSR.
In July 1928, Shebekino became the center of the
Shebekinsky district.
On December 16, 1938, by Decree of the
Supreme Council of the RSFSR, the workers' village of Shebekino was
given the status of a city.
The city of Shebekino was occupied by
the Germans on June 14, 1942[12], liberated on February 9, 1943 by the
472nd Regiment (commander - Major Semyon Petrovich Berezin) with the
assistance of the 454th and 460th Infantry Regiments of the 100th
Infantry Division (Major General Perkhorovich, Franz Iosifovich) of the
40th Army of the Voronezh Front from Nazi German troops during the
Kharkov offensive operation.
In the post-war period, Shebekino
developed as a city of chemists.
In 1948, construction began on
the first chemical plant in the USSR producing fat substitutes and
detergents based on surfactants. In the USSR, washing powders “Novost”,
“Crystal”, “Neptune” were widely known, and liquid detergents “Fairy”,
“Alfiya”, “Iva” were produced.
In 1961, the village of Titovka
was included in the city limits, in 1971 - the villages of Ustinka and
Logovoye
From 2004 to 2018, as part of the now abolished former municipal district, the municipal formation of the same name “Shebekino City” was formed with the status of an urban settlement as the only settlement in its composition.
Since 2022, in connection with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the
city, located 6 km from the border with Ukraine, has been shelled:
according to data collected by Novaya Gazeta. Europe" from the Telegram
channels of governors and the media, from the beginning of winter to the
beginning of February 2023, the city and its surroundings came under
fire at least 27 times, 22 people became victims of the shelling, of
whom 5 died, 66 private and 11 apartment buildings were destroyed,
shopping center and market, electricity periodically goes out due to
shelling.
At the end of May and beginning of June 2023, the city
was subjected to the largest shelling, during which, according to
Governor Gladkov, on June 1, 2023 alone, 850 shells were fired at the
city and 16 people were injured.
