Security questions

Shebekino and the surrounding area along the hiking trails are quite safe. However, when going outdoors, be aware of wild animals.

There may be wild boars and moose. If you don’t specifically scare 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.

Etymology

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.

 

Geography

Located on the border with Ukraine, 7 km from the Seversky Donets River, 32 km along the highway from Belgorod on the Nezhegol River.

 

History

17th century

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.

 

XVIII century

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.

 

19th century

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.

 

XX century

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

 

XXI Century

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.
