history

In 1882, the construction of the Schluesselburg gunpowder factory began on lands that belonged to Baron W. von Rennenkampff . At the end of 1883 the plant started production, and in 1884 the associated settlement was founded, which was initially named after the nearby village of Sheremetyevka Sheremetyevsky zavod (Sheremetyev plant), later officially Possjolok Schlisselburgskich porochowych zavodow ("Settlement of the Schliisselburg gunpowder works").

In 1922 the plant was given the name of the revolutionary Nikolai Morosow ( Sawod imeni Morosowa; "Morosow-Werk"), while the latter was still alive , as did the settlement, which since 1927 has had the status of an urban-type settlement.

During the Second World War , on September 8, 1941 , the German Wehrmacht occupied the Schliisselburg on the other bank of the Neva, bringing Possjolok imeni Morosowa close to the front for the time of the Leningrad blockade . After the Wehrmacht was pushed back from Schluisselburg by the Red Army on January 12, 1943 and the subsequent end of the blockade, a railway line to Schluesselburg was built in a very short time and from there a temporary railway bridge was built over the Neva to Possjolok imeni Morosowa to cross the von there to supply the city with a railway line leading to Leningrad.
