After the Second World War , the place came back to the Soviet Union and was given its current name in 1947 in honor of the Soviet Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR and People's Commissar of the Coal Industry Vasily Vakhrushev .

Already during the Japanese occupation, a narrow-gauge railway was built from the coastal village of Lermontowka ( Лермонтовка ) to Vostok ( Восток ) and later extended to the Vakhrushev open-cast coal mine (Vakhrushev -Ugolny railway station , Вахрушев-Уголно ). The nine-kilometer railway was used to supply the Sakhalin thermal power station ( Сахалинская ГРЭС / Sakhalinskaja GRES) located in Lermontowka with hard coal.
