Ozero-Petrovskoye

The village was founded in 1895; originally the locality was called Petrovskoye Ozero (Petrovskoye Lake). In 1928, the settlement comprised 18 households, with a predominantly Russian population; administratively, it was part of the Dundikhinsky selsoviet in Bolshe-Rechensky District, Biysk Okrug, Siberian Krai. In 1961, the Petrovsky timber enterprise (lespromkhoz) was created on the basis of the Pesyansky chemical forestry enterprise and the Petrovsky forestry enterprise, existing until the second half of the 1990s. The decision to establish the Zavodskoy selsoviet within Troitsky District was made by the Executive Committee of the Altai Krai Soviet of Workers' Deputies on 1 December 1965. As of 16 April 2026, the population is 313. Notable figures include Alexander Dmitrievich Bashkatov (b. 1927), a poet whose works were published in the almanac "Biysky Vestnik," the Book of Memory "Let Us Bow to Those Great Years," district anthologies, and the newspaper "Na zemle troitskoy"; one of his poems, "The Forgotten Soldier," was dedicated to the monument in the village of Kulichye, after whose publication the monument was restored. Svetlana Alekseyevna Filonenko (1950–2024) was a poet and painter, a veteran of labour, who published the collection "The Soul Is Always Young" in Barnaul in 2017; her paintings included landscapes, portraits, and rural views of Troitsky District, Barnaul, Gorny Altai, and Yakutia. Valery Stepanovich Nechepurenko (b. 1945), a native of the village, served in the Pacific Fleet and was aboard the submarine K-129, which sank in 1968; he was posthumously awarded the Order of Courage.
