Otradnoye (Russian: Отра́дное) is a town in Kirovsky District of Leningrad Oblast, Russia, located 40 kilometers (25 mi) east of St. Petersburg on the left bank of the Neva River, at its confluence with the Tosna River. Population: 23,874 (2010 Census preliminary results);[3] 21,570 (2002 Census);[1] 22,386 (1989 Census).[4]
A railway leading from Saint Petersburg (Moskovsky Terminal) to Volkhov passes through the town; there are two passenger platforms within town limits: Ivanovskaya and Pella.
History
A village of Ivanovskaya (Ива́новская) at the confluence of the Neva and Tosna was first mentioned in chronicles in 1708. In 1784, the land was acquired by empress Catherine the Great, and a residence known as Pella estate was established. The estate was mostly destroyed on the orders of Paul I.
The modern town was established in 1970 by merging of the urban-type settlements of Otradnoye and Ivanovskoye.
