history

The place was created in 1882 in connection with the establishment of an ironworks by the Koselsk merchant A. Zyplakow and the Schisdra landowner I. Labunski, which was called Duminitschski sawod after the little south-lying and still independent village Duminitschi and went into operation in 1883. In 1898/1899 the Duminitschi station was built on the nearby Moscow  - Brjansk  - Kiev railway line and a siding was brought up to the plant.

On January 1, 1926, the factory settlement became the administrative seat of a Volost . On October 24, 1927 Duminichsky zavod received urban-type settlement status, and on June 17, 1929 it became the administrative seat of the newly created Duminichsky rajon. In October 1932 the settlement was given its current, shorter name like the village and the train station.

During World War II , Duminitschi was occupied by the German Wehrmacht from October 5, 1941 to January 5, 1942, and after being recaptured by the Red Army from around January 20 to April 2, 1942 .
