History

Founded as a railway center in 1897, it was granted town status in 1925. The territory used to be a part of Porkhovsky Uyezd of Pskov Governorate, and Dno was the seat of Dnovskaya Volost.

On August 1, 1927, the uyezds and governorates were abolished and Dnovsky District, with the administrative center in Dno, was established as a part of Pskov Okrug of Leningrad Oblast.[11][12] It included parts of former Porkhovsky Uyezd.[12] On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were also abolished and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast.[11] Between July 18, 1941 and February 24, 1944, Dno was occupied by German troops. On August 23, 1944, the district was transferred to newly established Pskov Oblast.[12]

Administrative and municipal status

Within the framework of administrative divisions, Dno serves as the administrative center of Dnovsky District,[4] to which it is directly subordinated.[1] As a municipal division, the town of Dno, together with three rural localities, is incorporated within Dnovsky Municipal District as Dno Urban Settlement.[5]

Economy

The town remains to a large degree economically dependent upon rail-related activities. It was home to the Dno air base prior and during World War II.

Industry

The industrial enterprises in Dno include two metalworking plants, a ceramic production plant, and a bakery.[13]

Transportation

Dno railway station

Dno is an important railway station where two railways cross. One connects Bologoye and Pskov via Staraya Russa and runs from east to west. Another one connects St. Petersburg and Vitebsk and runs from north to south.

Dno is connected by roads with Soltsy, with Porkhov, and with Dedovichi. There are also local roads with bus traffic.

Culture and recreation

Dno contains five cultural heritage monuments of local significance.[14] These are monuments commemorating Revolution of 1905 and soldiers fallen in World War II.
