## History

It was founded in 1769, and was granted town status in 1938.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] The reconstructed [Church of the Ascension](/source/Church_of_the_Ascension_(Bataysk)) was built between 1990 and 2006.[9] The former [Bataysk air base](/source/Bataysk_(air_base)) is located nearby.

## Administrative and municipal status

Within the [framework of administrative divisions](/source/Subdivisions_of_Russia#Administrative_divisions), it is incorporated as **Bataysk [Urban Okrug](/source/City_of_federal_subject_significance)**—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the [districts](/source/Administrative_divisions_of_Rostov_Oblast).[1] As a [municipal division](/source/Subdivisions_of_Russia#Municipal_divisions), this administrative unit also has urban okrug status.[3]

## Trivia

Bataysk has gained international attention since unveiling a "monument that shows a man's hand gripping a nubile female breast", which officials say "will bring family happiness to men who touch it".[10]
