Boguchar (Russian: Богуча́р) is a town and the administrative center of Bogucharsky District in Voronezh Oblast, Russia, located on the Boguchar River (a tributary of the Don), 243 kilometers (151 mi) south of Voronezh, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: 14,370 (2021 Census); 11,811 (2010 Census); 13,756 (2002 Census); 8,499 (1989 Census). Isaac Massa's map of Southern Russia printed in 1638 indicates a settlement near the confluence of the Boguchar River with Don called Bogunar (an apparent misspelling 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), 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. The town status was granted to Boguchar in 1779. More information...
