Geography

[edit]

The village is located on the right bank of the Snagost River opposite the confluence of the Muzhitsa and Blyakhovets rivers. It is located 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) from the Russian-Ukrainian border, 102 kilometres (63 mi) southwest of Kursk, 10.5 kilometres (6.5 mi) south of the district centre — urban-type settlement Korenevo. The absolute height is 143 metres above sea level.

History

[edit]

Snagost was founded in 1707 by Ivan Mazepa.[1]

In the late 19th century, it hosted two small annual fairs and a weekly market.[5]

Russian invasion of Ukraine

[edit]

The settlement came under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in August 2024 as part of the August 2024 Kursk Oblast incursion of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[6][7][8][9]

Russian forces recaptured the settlement some time between 10 and 13 September 2024, during a Russian counterattack.[10][11]
