Everything about Otradnoye Kirovsky District Leningrad Oblast totally explained

Otradnoye is a town in Leningrad Oblast, Russia, situated some 40 km east of St. Petersburg (and only 3 km east of Saint Petersburg city limits) on the left bank of the Neva River, at its confluence with the Tosna River. Population: 21,570 (2002 Census). A railway leading from Saint Petersburg (Moskovsky Rail Terminal) to Volkhov passes through the town.

History

A village of Ivanovskaya at the confluence of the Neva and Tosna was first mentioned in chronicles in 1708. In 1784, the land was acquired by empress Catherine II, and a residence known as Pella estate was established. The estate was mostly destroyed on the orders of Emperor Paul.
   The modern town was established in 1970 by merging of the urban-type settlements of Otradnoye and Ivanovskoye.
