Story

After the victory of the latter, important institutions were moved to Novo-Nikolaevsk. In 1930, the settlement was merged with the city of Leninsk-Omsky, and in 1933 - with Novo-Omsk. On March 20, 1947, it was classified as a city of republican subordination by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR.
