Modern times

Despite the short stay under German occupation, the inhabitants and the city itself suffered greatly. By the 50s, industry had finally recovered; in 1956, the population of Novomoskovsk was 109,000 people. The chemical plant was actively developing; in addition to chemical products, it began to produce mineral fertilizers. The city was actively being improved, new microdistricts, healthcare, sports and cultural facilities were built.

Since that time, the city has been in a period of crisis for a long time; only in 2007 did a gradual recovery of the economy begin. The population of Novomoskovsk has been declining in almost all recent years. In 2021, the city had a population of 125,647.

Architecture

The central part of the city is characterized by a strict arrangement of streets running relative to each other at right angles according to the original development plan. The city center is Sovetskaya Square. Facing the square is the building of the Moscow Region Coal Research Institute.

The main street of the city, Komsomolskaya, runs through the square. A little to the east it is crossed by Moskovskaya Street, the widest in the city. Together, these two streets set the direction from the center and are a kind of “face” of the city.

The central area combines pre-war, post-war and modern architecture. Among the pre-war buildings, houses with arches, buildings in the constructivist style, for example, the building of the Pobeda cinema on the central square of the city, or a high-rise building with a colonnade on the street, stand out. Moscow. Famous architects, the Vesnin brothers, took part in the implementation of the construction plan.

During the Great Patriotic War the city was severely destroyed. German prisoners of war took part in the restoration of the city.

The streets are decorated with many green spaces.
