The capital of Kurgan Oblast in central Russia. It is located on the high left bank of the Tobol River, a tributary of the Ob River. It has a population of 367,200 (1999). It is a railway junction. Its industries include machinery manufacturing (farm machinery, tractors, buses, chemical equipment, road machinery, wood processing machinery, machine tools), chemicals (pharmaceuticals), food products (meat, flour, dairy), and light industry (leather, hosiery, sewing, footwear). It is also a cultural center, with a number of universities, a theater, and a museum. There have been various theories about when the village was founded, but in recent years it is believed to have originated from the fortified village of Tsaryovo-Galadishche, which was built around 1662. It was later moved a little downstream along the Tobol River to its current location, and became the city of Kurgan in 1782.

ロシア連邦中部、クルガン州の州都。オビ川の支流トボル川の高い左岸に位置する。人口36万7200(1999)。鉄道の分岐点。機械製造(農機、トラクター、バス、化学機器、道路用機、木材加工機、工作機)、化学(薬品)、食料品(肉、穀粉、乳業)、軽工業(皮革、メリヤス、縫製、履き物)などの工業が盛んである。単科諸大学、劇場、博物館があって、文化の中心地でもある。村の発生年代には諸説あったが、近年では1662年ごろに建設されたツァリョボ・ガラディシチェ要塞(ようさい)村が起源とみられている。のちにトボル川沿いに少し下流の現在位置へ移動し、1782年にクルガン市になった。 [三上正利] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
