History The historical fate of the Gordeevsky district is connected with its geographical location. In ancient times, the tribes of the Radimichs lived on the territory of the region. From the second half of the XIV century, among a significant part of the Bryansk lands, the territory of the present Gordeevsky region became part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and after the conclusion of the treaty on the union (unification) of Lithuania with Poland in 1385, into the united Polish-Lithuanian state.
Since 1503, these lands were transferred to the Moscow state, but 115 years later, according to the Deulinsky agreement of 1618, they again retreat to Poland for several decades.
After the victory over the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the lands were annexed to Russia. In 1654, the entire left bank of the Dnieper (Little Russia), including the southwestern lands of the Bryansk region, administratively and militarily were divided into regiments and hundreds. One of the largest Little Russian regiments was Starodubsky, which included the lands of the present Gordeyevsky district, approved as an independent one in 1663 (before that it was part of the Nizhyn regiment). It consisted of 10 hundred (Starodubskaya, Mglinskaya, Pochepskaya, Pogarskaya, etc.).
Until 1781, the entire territory of the present Gordeevsky district was part of the New Town Hundreds of the Starodubsky Regiment.
In 1781, the division into shelves and hundreds was replaced by division into counties and governorships (from 1796 - provinces). Since 1802, Starodubshchina, from which Mglinsky, Novomestsky (later Novozybkovsky), Starodubsky and Surazhsky districts were formed, became part of the Chernigov province.
In 1861, among other volosts, the Gordeevskaya volost of the Surazh district of the Chernigov province was formed (since 1921 the district became known as Klintsovsky, and in December 1926 it was annexed to the Bryansk province).
In 1941, the Gordeevsky district was occupied by German troops for 25 months, from August 20, 1941. to September 27, 1943. During this time, 189 people were killed in the region, 272 people were taken to Germany, material damage amounted to 285 million rubles in monetary terms of the 1940s.
Gordeyevka was a strategically important point for the Nazi troops, being at the intersection of roads connecting the roads to Krasnaya Gora, Kostyukovichi, Surazh, Klintsy. From the first days of the occupation, a partisan war flared up in the region. Ambushes were set up, bridges, ferries, telephone communications were destroyed. The "Vperyod" special purpose detachment operated on the territory of the Gordeevsky district since August 1941, and already in 1943 it grew into a brigade. At first, there were 28 guys and one girl. For the partisans, the underground gathered weapons and medicines, distributed leaflets and reports from the Sovinformburo, and collected valuable intelligence.
Ecological problems As a result of the Chernobyl disaster on April 26, 1986, part of the territory of Bryansk Oblast has been contaminated with radionuclides (mainly Gordeyevsky, Klimovsky, Klintsovsky, Krasnogorsky, Surazhsky, and Novozybkovsky Districts). In 1999, some 226,000 people lived in areas with the contamination level above 5 Curie/km2, representing approximately 16% of the oblast's population.
District establishment The Gordeevsky District was formed in 1929 and was originally part of the Klintsovsky District of the Western Region, and since 1937 - in the newly formed Oryol Region.
On July 5, 1944, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, the Bryansk region was formed, which, along with others, included the Gordeevsky region. In the period from 1963 to 1985, the district was temporarily abolished, and its territory was divided between the Klintsovsky and Krasnogorsky districts. Restored August 15, 1985.
Economy The economy of the Gordeevsky district is predominantly of an agricultural type. In the regional center there are more than 10 grocery stores, 2 pharmacies, 2 hardware stores, a restaurant-cafe "Slavyanka", a cafe "Vdokhnovenie".
Of the large enterprises, the Tvorishinsky distillery was located on the territory of the Gordeevsky district (currently the enterprise does not work).
Gordeevka is the economic center of the region. There are concentrated workplaces, which are used by both Gordeevites and residents of the region. The branches of Sberbank of Russia and the Bank's Post provide loans to enterprises of the Gordeevsky district. Commercial sector enterprises are located on the central Lenin street. Their greatest concentration is in the area of the central square at the intersection of Kirov and Lenin streets, the longest and most important transport "arteries" of Gordeevka.
Currently, the predominant employment of the population is provided by budgetary institutions (school, district hospital, police, court, pension fund).
В целом Гордеевский район можно причислить к числу депрессивных регионов (порядка 80% бюджета района - это дотации из областного бюджета).
There are 123 enterprises of all forms of property in the district. The number of legal entities without the formation of a legal entity is 153. The district economy employs 3 500 people. The district has one of the highest indicators in Bryansk region (about 90%) in terms of gasification of settlements. All schools, hospitals and public houses have been supplied of natural gas.
The economy of the district is mostly agricultural. Economic growth prospects are associated with the development of agricultural production and manufacturing industry.
Agriculture Gordeyevsky district is an agricultural one, and the prospects for economic growth are associated with the development of agricultural production and processing industry. The agro-industrial complex of the region includes all categories of farms: personal subsidiary plots (62.8%), peasant farms (1.5%), agricultural enterprises of the public sector (35.7%). The main branches of agriculture in the region are plant growing and animal husbandry. Crop production specializes in the cultivation of grain crops and potato growing, and animal husbandry has a pronounced dairy and meat orientation. On the territory of the district (SEC "Mayak") there is a pedigree reproducer for breeding beef cattle of the Aberdeen Angus breed. In recent years, the region's agricultural producers have received significant support from the state. These are various subsidies for manufactured products, the provision of preferential loans, assistance in the purchase of agricultural machinery.
Despite the measures taken, the main problems of agricultural production remain: -great degree of wear and tear of the machine and tractor fleet; -low supply of qualified personnel; - rise in prices for fuels and lubricants, energy carriers and spare parts. Considering the dynamics of the main indicators of agriculture, characterizing the efficiency of local government bodies, the following should be noted: - The value of the indicator "The proportion of profitable large and medium-sized agricultural organizations in their total number" in 2008 decreased compared to 2007 by 9.6%. In general, the number of profitable businesses has not decreased. The decrease in this indicator occurred due to the fact that these enterprises have passed to the status of small enterprises. In 2009–2011, the value of this indicator is forecasted at the level of 100%. The main way to achieve financial stability of agricultural producers is to attract credit resources and investments. A private investor in the cultivation of rapeseed for grain takes part in the 2009 sowing company. This crop covers 1,500 hectares. - The area of agricultural land in the district is 57352 hectares.
Infection of the territory of the region with radionuclides, as a result of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in 1986, negatively affected the socio-economic situation in the region. 4200 hectares of agricultural land were withdrawn from circulation. As a result of a complex of agrotechnical measures and migration processes, there was a change in the levels of radioactive contamination of the arable layer. This contributed to the conservation of all agricultural land. In 2009–2011. the share of actually used agricultural land in their total area was 100%.
