Chudovo, Chudovsky District, Novgorod Oblast

Chudovo (Russian: Чýдово) is a town and the administrative center of Chudovsky District in Novgorod Oblast, Russia, located on the Kerest River (a left tributary of the Volkhov).

[3] By the beginning of the 19th century, Chudovo was the seat of Chudovskaya Volost of Novgorodsky Uyezd in Novgorod Governorate.

[3] In August 1927, the uyezds were abolished and, effective October 1, 1927, Chudovsky District was established, with the administrative center in Chudovo.

[12] During World War II, between August 20, 1941, and January 29, 1944, Chudovo was occupied by German troops.

On July 5, 1944, Chudovsky District was transferred to newly established Novgorod Oblast and has remained there ever since.

In the nearby village of Syabrenitsy there is a museum of the writer Gleb Uspensky, housed in the building where he used to live in the 1880s.
