Theselo of Sinyavino was created in the beginning of the 18th century, whenPeter the Great gave the lands in the area to his military officerNaum Senyavin. The selo was destroyed duringWorld War II and never restored, but the name was transferred in the 1920s to the settlement which was servingpeat production. The settlement of Sinyavino was at the time located inLeningradsky Uyezd ofLeningrad Governorate.[9]
On August 1, 1927, the uyezds were abolished andMginsky District, with the administrative center inMga, was established. The governorates were also abolished, and the district was a part ofLeningrad Okrug ofLeningrad Oblast. On April 20, 1930 Sinyavino was granted urban-type settlement status. On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were abolished as well, and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast. On September 20, 1930, the administrative center of the district was transferred to the selo ofPutilovo, and the district renamed Putilovsky. On September 20, 1931 the district center was moved back to Mga, and the district was renamed back Mginsky. DuringWorld War II, Sinyavino was occupied byGerman troops.[2] In 1942, Sinyavino became the central point of theSinyavino Offensive, a military operation of the Soviet army with the purpose of relieving theSiege of Leningrad.
On December 9, 1960, Mginsky District was abolished and split betweenVolkhovsky andTosnensky Districts. Sinyavino was transferred to Tosnensky District. On April 1, 1977 Kirovsky District with the administrative center in Kirovsk, essentially in the limits of former Mginsky District, was established by splitting off Volkhovsky and Tosnensky Districts.[10]
TheM18 highway, which connects Saint Petersburg andMurmansk, runs through Sinyavino. There bus connections with Saint Petersburg and Kirovsk.
In the beginning of the 19th century, a system of canals bypassing Lake Ladoga were built, which at the time were a part ofMariinsky Water System, connecting theNeva and theVolga Rivers. In particular, theNew Ladoga Canal connects theVolkhov and the Neva. It replaced theOld Ladoga Canal, built byPeter the Great, which thus became disused and decayed. The canals collectively are known as theLadoga Canal. Both canals run along the southern shore of Lake Ladoga, north of Sinyavino.
Sinyavino contains two cultural heritage monuments classified as cultural and historical heritage of local significance.[11] Both monuments commemorate the events of World War II.
