Krasnoarmeysk (Russian: Красноарме́йск) is a town in Saratov Oblast, Russia, located 75 kilometers (47 mi) south of Saratov, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: 24,364 (2010 Census);[2] 25,411 (2002 Census);[9] 24,055 (1989 Census).[10]

History

It was founded in 1764—1766 as the German colony of Baltser (Russian: Ба́льцер; German: Balzer); the last name[11] of one of the colonists. The other name of the colony was Goly Karamysh (Голый Карамыш), after the river on which it was located.[11] The "Karamysh" part in the river's name means muddy, silty, smudgy, while the "Goly" part alludes to the steppes and the lack of forests in the area; cf. Lesnoy Karamysh River (lit. the Karamysh River in the forests).[11]

In the mid-19th century, the double name of Goly Karamysh (Balzer) (Голый Карамыш (Бальзер)) was officially used, but it was shortened to just Baltser in 1926.[11] Town status was granted in 1918.[citation needed] During World War II, the region was cleansed of German geographic names, with Baltser renamed Krasnoarmeysk (after the Red Army) in 1942.[11]

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Krasnoarmeysk serves as the administrative center of Krasnoarmeysky District,[4] even though it is not a part of it.[12] As an administrative division, it is incorporated separately as Krasnoarmeysk Town Under Oblast Jurisdiction[12]—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[citation needed] As a municipal division, Krasnoarmeysk Town Under Oblast Jurisdiction is incorporated within Krasnoarmeysky Municipal District as Krasnoarmeysk Urban Settlement.[5]
