History
The city originated in the 18th century as the family manor of Counts Bobrinsky, who industrialized it towards the end of the 19th century. The city, under the name of Bobriki (Бобрики) was officially established in 1930 and continued to develop as a coal (lignite) mining center throughout the Soviet period.[citation needed] In 1933, it was renamed Stalinogorsk (Сталиногорск).[citation needed] During World War II, the city was occupied by the German Army from November 22, 1941 to December 11, 1941. In 1961, it was given its present name.[citation needed] The city was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor on January 14, 1971.
