Ιστορία:
In the district village of Sosnovka, Morshansk District, Tambov Region, the Exaltation of the Cross stone church was built at the expense of Prince Golitsyn in 1836. The temple has two thrones: the main one in honor of the Exaltation of the honest and life-giving Cross of the Lord and the adjoining one - in the name of the holy supreme apostles Peter and Paul. The temple was handed over to believers in 1991. Sosnovka was founded in 1640 by gatherings of old Russian counties (Skopinsky, Shatsky, Ryazansky, etc.). In 1650, 18 huts stood on the site of the first settlements. At the end of the 17th century, there were already 100 households in the village. During the reign of Peter I, large spring fairs for the sale of horses began to be organized in Sosnovka. They were visited by merchants not only from the neighboring region, but also from other countries (Poland, Germany, etc.). Since 1767, a vitriol plant of the merchant Prokunin operated in Sosnovka. Sosnovka was part of the palace estates. But at the end of the 18th century, Paul I granted most of the village to Infantry General Christopher Ivanovich Benkendorf, and the other part to the chamber-cadet Prince Ivan Sergeevich Golitsyn (1784-1853). From that time on, the peasants became serfs of the landowners.
