history

In the 1820s, the village of Borodino was built about five kilometers southeast of today's city center. It was founded by soldiers from the Semenovsky Regiment , an elite unit of the Russian Army , exiled to the area for disobeying orders in 1820, and named in memory of the Battle of Borodino during the Patriotic War of 1812.

In 1949 a workers' settlement ( urban type ) was built in connection with the beginning of the development of the Kansk - Atschinsk lignite basin . The Borodinski opencast mine (also Irscha-Borodinski ) started production in December of the same year.

In 1981 city rights were granted.

Economy and Infrastructure

City-forming enterprise is the open pit Borodinski , now south of the city of the Siberian Coal and Energy Company ( Sibirskaya ugolnaja energetitscheskaja kompanija heard Siberian Coal Energy Company, SUEK). A good 800 million tons of lignite have been mined since the open-cast mine was founded, up to 30 million tons per year.

The nearest railway station is located 15 kilometers northwest of Saosjorny on the Trans-Siberian Railway ( Saosjornaja station , route km 4264 from Moscow ). A works railway branches off here to the lignite opencast mines.

The M53 trunk road from Novosibirsk via Krasnoyarsk to Irkutsk bypasses the city to the east, not far from the old village and today's Borodino district.
