History
The first settlement on the site of the city was given to Uraza Tankacheev in 1631 by Russian king Michael Fedorovich, for faithful service. The Tatar princes and murzas were owners of Ruzayevka up to 1715. For refusing to accept the Christian faith, these lands and serfs peasants were bequeathed to the great Emperor.
In 1725, the land and peasants were given to the Lieutenant Tikhon Lukin, who owned it for more than 30 years, and then went bankrupt and in 1757 sold it to the court Councilor Jeremiah Struysky.
For more than a hundred years (1757-1861) Ruzayevka belonged to rich landowners-feudals Struysky. On the spot where now is the high school number 9, there was a luxurious mansion. With Nicholay Eremeevich Struysky, linked one of the pages in the history of Ruzayevka.
Nikolay Eremeevich settled in Ruzayevka in 1771. At that time he was 24 years old, he served 8 years in the Preobrazhensky regiment and retired with the rank of warrant officer guard. The estate bought by his father was located in lands and was rich by underground waters. Struysky invited famous architect V. V. Rastrelli to design the building and the Church . For the half year was built three-storey house-Palace. Nikolay Eremeevich lived there and wrote poetries, the third floor of his house was called "Parnassus". In 1783 he created in Ruzayevka private printing, in which peasants worked, that were trained to print in printing the Samara and Nizhny Novgorod. This printing was one of the best of its time, the printing house published mainly poems of Nikolay Eremeevich. These publications are extremely rare and they are of great bibliographic value. In 1905, it became one of the centers of the revolutionary movement, supporting the uprising of Moscow workers. 10 (23) December 1905 under the leadership of the committee headed by the engineer of the locomotive depot Afanasiy Petrovich Baykuzov went on strike, which resulted in power in the village and the nearest railway station was taken over by the workers. There, the "Ruzayevka Republic" was created, which lasted 12 days.
The railway station of Ruzayevka is mentioned in the poetry of the Latvian poet Alexander Chaks (Aleksandrs Čaks in the Latvian language) ''Touched by eternity'' (''Mūžības skartie''). The poetry is about Latvian military riflemen in return from the Russian Civil War in 1920.
