history
The history of today's settlement begins at the end of the 19th century when the Trans-Siberian Railway ran through the area where previously small farming settlements such as Werch-Patscha existed and a train station was built.
In 1907 a limestone deposit was discovered near Werch-Patscha , on the basis of which a cement works was built near the railway station by 1912 . The year the associated workers' settlement was founded is 1910; the name is derived from the name of the Jaschka stream. In 1920 the plant of the First West Siberian Lime and Portland Cement Company was nationalized .
From the end of the 1920s, the cement plant was expanded. In 1934, a new limestone open-cast mine near Nizhnejaschkino to the south-east of the settlement and a several-kilometer-long aerial cableway for transporting the stone to the cement works began operations.
The place itself grew, received urban-type settlement status in 1928 and became the administrative center of a Rajon for the first time in 1930. Jaschkino retained this administrative function to this day, with interruptions 1931–1940 (connection to the then Taiga Rajon ) and 1963–1965.
After the German invasion of the Soviet Union , a roof tile factory was evacuated from Brjansk to Jaschkino and started operations here as early as 1942. After the war, this plant was expanded and subsequently merged with the cement plant.
