Dobroye straddles the Voronezh River in Lipetsk Oblast, a position that has made it a local centre for the rural settlements around its broad river valley. It is the administrative seat of Dobrovsky District, in a region shaped by farming and the waterways of the Don basin; the Voronezh is one of the Don’s tributaries. Dobroye developed as a fortified settlement in the 17th century, reflecting the former frontier character of this part of southern Russia.
