Ponyri is an urban-type settlement in the Ponyrovsky District of the Kursk Oblast. It has been famous for its apples, known as Antonovskiye Yabloki (English: Antonov's apples [variety])[2] In the Soviet era it largely consisted of two state farms (sovkhozi), Ponyri 1 and 2.[3] In English-language publications it is sometimes referred to as Ponyri Station, due to its location on the railway between Oryol and Kursk.[4] Population: 4,916 (2021 Census);[5] 4,791 (2010 Russian census);[6] 4,697 (2002 Census);[7] 4,941 (1989 Soviet census).[8]
