History

Isaac Massa's map of Southern Russia printed in 1638 indicates a settlement near the confluence of the Boguchar River with Don called Bogunar (which is an obvious misspell caused by the similarity of Cyrillic letters ч (ch) and н (n)). However, it is located on a different place than present-day Boguchar, in particular, on the left bank of the Don River. This area was inhabited by Don Cossacks in the 17th century, but was devastated during the suppression of the Bulavin Rebellion (1707–08),[9] in which the upper Don Cossacks were active participants. Afterwards, the area has never been a part of the Don Cossack Host, but rather of Sloboda Ukraine and later Voronezh Governorate, since it was settled by the Ostrogozhsk cossacks of Ukrainian ethnicity in the years 1716–17.[10] The town status was granted to Boguchar in 1779.

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Boguchar serves as the administrative center of Bogucharsky District.[1] As an administrative division, it is incorporated within Bogucharsky District as Boguchar Urban Settlement.[1] As a municipal division, this administrative unit also has urban settlement status and is a part of Bogucharsky Municipal District.[4]

Military

The 1st Independent Guards Tank Brigade of the Russian Ground Forces is based here, part of the 20th Guards Army, Western Military District. It was reformed from a storage base in 2015, and carries the heritage of the 10th Guards Tank Corps "Uralsko-Lvovskaya" "Volunteers".[11]
