history
The place was first mentioned in the middle of the 19th century as a village in the Ujesd Shchigry of the Kursk governorate . After the Moscow - Charkow railway line had passed by at the end of the 1860s, a station settlement of the same name was built near the station that opened there.
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.
