The settlement came to the newly formed Swobodinski rajon in 1928, based in Swoboda, 13 km to the south-west . As early as 1929 the administrative headquarters were moved to Solotuchino and the Rajon was renamed accordingly. During the Second World War , the settlement was occupied by the German Wehrmacht from late October 1941 to February 3, 1943 .

In 1967 the place received the status of an urban-type settlement.
