Vereshchagino (Russian: Вереща́гино) is a town and the administrative center of Vereshchaginsky District in Perm Krai, Russia, located 124 kilometers (77 mi) west of Perm, the administrative center of the krai. As of the 2010 Census, its population was 22,156.[2]

History

The town was founded as a settlement near the station in 1898.[6] In 1899, the station was given the name of Ocherskaya. In 1904, it was renamed Voznesenskaya, after the name of a nearby volost center.

The modern name is associated with the fact that in 1904 the war artist Vasily Vereshchagin allegedly stopped on his way to the Far East, where he died in April 1904, when the battleship Petropavlovsk was sunk by a mine. Twelve years later, at the request of the inhabitants, the Voznesenskaya station was renamed in honour of the painter.[7]

In the city there is a monument to V.V. Vereshchagin (pictured).

On January 1, 1924, the Vereshchagino settlement became a village and district centre of the same name. It was given city status on June 19, 1942.[8]
