history
The place arose from 1974 near the old settlement Sedankina in connection with the construction of the Baikal-Amur-Magistrale (BAM), which comes from the direction of Ust-Kut reaches the Kirenga. The railway station and settlement were built by construction workers from Rostov Oblast (as part of the propaganda for the BAM all-union Komsomol building project , one or more regions of the former Soviet Union sponsored most of the stations and settlements to be built along the route).
In the following year, the status of urban-type settlement was given. Regular rail traffic on the entire section between Lena and Lake Baikal ( Severobaikalsk ) was excluded in 1981. The settlement grew quickly at first; after completion of the railway line and with its temporary decline as a result of the economic crisis from the end of the 1980s, however, the population stagnated and fell again, albeit not as significantly as in many places further east on the line.
