History

Malaya Vishera in the 1860s

The name of the town originates from the Malaya Vishera River, a tributary of the Vishera River. It was founded in 1843, as the construction of the Moscow–St. Petersburg Railway (opened in 1851) passing through the modern town started.[citation needed] At the time, it was a part of Krestetsky Uyezd of Novgorod Governorate. On February 24, 1918, Malovishersky Uyezd was established and Malaya Vishera became its seat.[10] In 1921, Malaya Vishera was granted town status.[citation needed]

In August 1927, the uyezds were abolished and, effective October 1, 1927, Malovishersky District was established, with the administrative center in Malaya Vishera.[11] Novgorod Governorate was abolished as well and the district became a part of Novgorod Okrug of Leningrad Oblast.[11] On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were abolished and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast.[11]

During World War II, between October 23 and December 22, 1941, Malaya Vishera was occupied by German troops.[12] It became the eighth Soviet town liberated by Soviet troops in 1941 and the first one among those which were not subsequently re-occupied.[13]

On July 5, 1944, Malovishersky District was included into the newly established Novgorod Oblast and remained there ever since.[14]

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Malaya Vishera serves as the administrative center of Malovishersky District.[1] As an administrative division, it is, together with seven rural localities, incorporated within Malovishersky District as the town of district significance of Malaya Vishera.[2] As a municipal division, the town of district significance of Malaya Vishera is incorporated within Malovishersky Municipal District as Malovisherskoye Urban Settlement.[4]

Economy

Industry

In the past, the economy of Malaya Vishera was dependent on the glass-making factory, which started to experience serious difficulties in the 1990s–2000s. Currently, it relies on timber industry (including production of furniture), food industry, and production of instruments.[15]

Transportation

A train depot was opened in Malaya Vishera in 1860. Many long-distance trains (including Moscow–St. Petersburg) stop at this station. The station is also an important terminus of the regional suburban trains from Okulovka, Volkhovstroy, and St. Petersburg.

Malaya Vishera is connected by roads with the M10 Highway and with Lyubytino. The M10 passes 40 kilometers (25 mi) west of the town.

The district contains two objects protected as cultural and historical heritage at the federal level and 126 objects classified as cultural and historical heritage of local significance (eight of them in Malaya Vishera).[16] The federal monuments are archaeological sites.

Malaya Vishera hosts the Malaya Vishera District Museum, the only museum in the district. The museum exhibits collections of local interest.[17]
