Totskoye

Totskoye

Totskoye ( _ru. То́цкое) is a village ("selo") in Orenburg Oblast, Russia. It is the administrative center of Totsky District. Population: 7,201 (2002 Census).

During World War II, it was the site of a POW camp for Polish prisoners. In 1941–1942, it was one of places for the formation of Polish Army in the USSR by Władysław Anders. A monument for Polish soldiers is erected there.

In 1954, the Totskoye range was the site of a Soviet nuclear weapon test. Totskoye is also the site of Totskoye air base.

The village of Totskoye is the garrison of the 27th Guards Motor Rifle Division, 2nd Army, Volga-Ural Military District, relocated from the former German Democratic Republic in 1990-93. Unlike many Russian Ground Forces formations, the division seems to be nearly at full strength, which might add some 10,000 personnel to the area's population.
