Lebedyan (Russian: Лебедя́нь) is a town and the administrative center of Lebedyansky District in Lipetsk Oblast, Russia, located on the upper Don River, 62 kilometers (39mi) northwest of Lipetsk, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: 20,049(2021 Census);[8]21,012(2010 Census);[2]22,966(2002 Census);[9]22,850(1989 Census).[10]
It was founded in 1613 largely to guard the holdings of I.N.Romanov, the Tsar's uncle, and served as a border outpost protecting South Russia from the Crimean Tatars' incursions.[citation needed] The Trinity Monastery was established in 1621 and several churches were built by the end of the century; they are all now reduced to ruins.
Chartered in 1779,[citation needed] Lebedyan developed in the 19th century as a center of horse racing and horse breeding. The locals claim that the first racetrack in Russia was opened here in 1826. The Agricultural Society of Lebedyan, founded in 1847, was influential in preparing the emancipation reform of 1861.
In 1984 construction of an underground metro began as hobby tunneling. However this was abandoned in 2010 without having opened.[11]
