history

Around 1891 was far from a small Buryat the settlement of the village as part of Cossacks in Transbaikalia the Vorwerk Popowskaja wysselka that soon the village Paschennoje developed.

In 1907, starting from the Kuenga station of the then branch of the Trans-Siberian Railway to Sretensk , the construction of the Amur railway towards Khabarovsk , which passed not far from the village, began. This is where the Paschennaya station and associated settlement emerged. Operations started around 1910; the entire Amur Railway to Khabarovsk, subsequently part of the Transsib main line, was completed in 1916.

Village and station settlement gradually grew together, and in 1938 the status of an urban-type settlement was awarded, after the politician Lazar Kaganovich - at this time traffic and heavy industry minister of the Soviet Union - the name imeni Kaganowitscha received. In 1956, as part of the de-Stalinization , the place was given its current name in honor of the writer Nikolai Tschernyshevsky , who was exiled to Transbaikalia from 1864 to 1883 .

The railway is the main economic factor of the place.

Until the final completion and complete asphalting of the trunk road in 2010, the station was important for the reloading of vehicles and goods to the railroad.
