After the war, Krasnaya Gorka had a reputation as the most criminal district of Melitopol.

Melitopol had its own famous Red Hill. That was the name of one of its outskirts, located on hills separated by deep ravines. Houses stood there sparsely, drowning in summer in magnificent gardens. Strangers were not recommended to go there. Krasnaya Gorka was famous for its mutual responsibility, dark deeds, secret thug life; the most famous hooligans and bandits were from there. Krasnogorsk punks dominated the city center.
