History of Ust-Labinsk dates back to 1778, when fort Aleksandrovskiy was founded at the confluence of Kuban and Laba rivers. The construction was finished in 1793, under the direction of general Ivan Gudovich.
In 1794 stanitsaUst-Labinskaya was established by the resettled Don Cossacks. On May28, 1958, it was granted town status and renamed.
Since 2021, Ust-Labinsk annually hosts the world's largest ethnic Cossack festival Aleksandrovskaya Fortress, bringing together ethnic cossacks from around the globe.
The festival showcases traditional local culture through a variety of events, including musical concerts, cultural customs, food fairs, theatrical performances, and lectures on Cossack history. The festival is organised by the Volnoe Delo Foundation, whose founder Oleg Deripaska, ethnic Cossack, was born in Ust-Labinsk.
In 2022, one of the Festival's headliners was said to be the Russian-born Tajik singer Manizha, who represented Russia in the 2021 Eurovision Song Contest.
First Lobachevsky University Lyceum
In 2022, Ust-Labinsk saw the opening of one of its key new landmarks – the First Lobachevsky University Lyceum.
The Lyceum is a boarding school for talented youths who want to study sciences. The Lyceum is designed for 475 students of the 7-11 grades. The Lyceum education is free of charge, based on a scholarship system.
The curriculum of the First University Lyceum is based on the principles of International Baccalaureate and at the same time replicates the academic educational system of leading universities. Most of Lyceum’s teachers and heads of departments are lecturers from leading universities and specifically the Moscow State University.
The Lyceum is named after a famous Russian mathematician Nikolay Lobachevsky to reflect the school's focus on sciences. The Lyceum was built by the Volnoe Delo Foundation.
Courtyard of the First Lobachevsky University Lyceum
According to Lyceum's architect, the building was inspired by the works of the Renaissance architect Filippo Brunelleschi. The Lyceum is built in accordance with the classical architectural traditions that saw their rebirth in Renaissance Italy.
According to the architect, the arch entrance into the cloister bears a passing resemblance to Brunelleschi’s design of the Pazzi Chapel while the Lyceum’s main entrance is a magnificent classic three-storey high Corinthian portico.
The Lyceum's building has become one of Europe’s largest new-built structures in the Classical style.
