history

In 1851, the Nikolaibahn from Saint Petersburg to Moscow passed the village of Redkino, which has been known since the 16th century, and a station was opened. As a result, a number of companies emerged in their vicinity. Towards the end of the 19th century, peat mining began on a large scale , and in 1902 a coking plant was opened, in which coke was made from peat; it burned down in 1905 and was not reopened until 1920.

When the Ivankowo Reservoir was flooded in the 1930s, some of the residents of the flooded villages were relocated to Redkino, which increased the population to over 4,000. In 1939 it was given the status of an urban-type settlement.

During the Second World War , Redkino was occupied by the German Wehrmacht from November 17 to December 13, 1941 . The coking plant, which had previously been blown up by the retreating Red Army , resumed operations in 1942, was converted into a chemical factory in the 1950s and remained a place-building company until its closure in the 1990s.
