history

Voskressensk was built as a settlement at a station opened in 1862 on the newly built railway line from Moscow to Ryazan .

The settlement of Kolyberowo (with a cement factory from 1870 and various other building material businesses since the 1920s), which had also become an urban-type settlement in 1934, was established about five kilometers south-east of Woskressensk in the second half of the 19th century near a limestone deposit Incorporated in April 1954. As a part of the city, the village was named Kommuna, and the prefabricated housing estate to the south of it was named Kommuna-2.

Lopatinski, located three kilometers to the northeast, was built in 1883 at a textile factory not far from the eponymous village of Lopatino, grew from the 1930s onwards in connection with the mining of a nearby phosphorite deposit and urban-type settlement since 1963, and was also incorporated into Woskressensk on May 5, 2004.
