In addition to the center of the city, the settlements Alexandrowka, Berjosowka, Verkh-Chumysh, Karagailinski, Oktyabrinka and Uskat belong to it. The residential buildings in today's city center were mainly built in the 1950s and 1960s.

history

Kisseljowsk owes its existence to the coal mining industry . The first coal deposits were discovered in the middle of the 19th century in the village of Afonino, which is now a district of Kiselyovsk. Before the October Revolution of 1917, however, coal production there was only insignificant. This changed when the town was connected to the railway in 1921 . In 1932, two mines were created in Afonino for the first time ; In the same year Afonino and the neighboring village of Cherkassovo were given the status of a workers' settlement called Kisseljowski . On January 20, 1936, the settlement was finally given city rights and was now called Kisseljowsk.

The Kisselyovsk Stadium

Coal mining continues to dominate as the leading industry in Kisselyovsk. After the closure of five mines shortly after the collapse of the Soviet Union, there are now a total of five mines and two processing plants for hard coal in Kisseljowsk. The development of a new hard coal deposit is planned for the future. In addition, there are two mechanical engineering companies in the city, an explosives factory, a brick factory, a furniture factory and several food manufacturing companies. The city's educational institutions include a mining vocational college, a teacher training college, several vocational and secondary schools, and four music schools.

In the summer of 2019, some residents asked Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for asylum as environmental refugees. The Russian state would have simply forgotten them. Several works had been shut down, including in winter when black snow lay in the place.
