History

edit

The mining village of Novodruzhesk was founded in 1935 in connection with the construction of the mine "Novodruzhesk"[2] with the capacity of 1.5 thousand tons of coal per day. The first mine builders lived in three wooden barracks, as well as in the surrounding villages. By the end of the year, 12 more barracks for workers were built, construction of two-story residential buildings began, and a store and a canteen were put into operation. In May 1936, the first six two-story residential buildings were completed.
