history

The village of Olchowka (from Russian olcha for alder ) was built around 1700 in the area of ​​today's city . In 1835 the place was mentioned as a settlement Olchowski near a gold mine . With the expansion of gold mining during the Soviet era , the town grew and was given town charter in 1939 under its current name (after the revolutionary Fyodor Sergejew , known as Artyom ). Shortly after the city charter was granted, the importance of this area began to decline in the 1940s with the shift in the focus of gold mining to other regions of the country, and the population fell sharply. With the factual cessation of gold production in the 1990s, the place gradually becomes a ghost town .
