Imeni Morozova

Imeni Morozova (Russian: и́мени Моро́зова) is an urban locality (an urban-type settlement) in Vsevolozhsky District of Leningrad Oblast, Russia, located on the bank of Lake Ladoga by the source of the Neva River, northeast of Saint Petersburg.

[7] In the end of the 19th century, the area where the settlement was currently located was occupied by the datcha (a summer estate) by Vladimir Rennenkampf.

In 1882, the lands were given on lease to Vladimir Ronchevsky to build the Shlisselburg Gunpowder Plant, which started operation in 1883.

On August 1, 1927, the uyezds were abolished and Leninsky District, with the administrative center in the settlement of Vsevolozhskoye, was established.

[11] During World War II, Imeni Morozova was not occupied and played a key role in channeling supplies to the city of Leningrad.

In particular, a temporary bridge over the Neva was built south of the settlement and was used for the transport of goods.
