Ruzayevka (Russian: Руза́евка; Moksha: Орозай, Orozaj; Erzya: Оразай ош, Orazaj oš) is a town in the Republic of Mordovia, Russia, located on the Insar River, 25 kilometers (16 mi) southwest of Saransk. Population: 47,523 (2010 census);[2] 49,790 (2002 census);[6] 51,034 (1989 Soviet census).[7]

History

The town was founded on the land given to murza Uraza Tankacheev in 1631 by Russian tsar Michael Fedorovich and is believed to be named after him. The Tatar princes and murzas were owners of Ruzayevka up to 1715. In 1725, the land and peasants were given to the Lieutenant Tikhon Lukin, who owned it for more than 30 years, and then went bankrupt and in 1757 sold it to the court Councilor Yeremey Struysky. For more than a hundred years (1757–1861) Ruzayevka belonged to landowners from the Struysky noble family.

During the 1905 Russian revolution, it became one of the centers of the revolutionary movement, supporting the uprising of Moscow workers. On 23 December [O.S. 10 December] 1905, a committee headed by the engineer of the locomotive depot Afanasiy Petrovich Baykuzov took power in the town and cut off the Moscow–Kazan railway line, proclaiming the "Ruzayevka Republic".

The railway station of Ruzayevka is mentioned in the poetry of the Latvian author Aleksandrs Čaks (Mūžības skartie "Touched by eternity"). The poetry is about Latvian military riflemen in return from the Russian Civil War in 1920.[8]
