History
The first residential barracks appeared with the construction of the Rzhevsky brick factory in 1850 . The plant at that time was a handicraft industry based on the use of manual labor, with a production volume of 1.5 million bricks per year.
After the victory of the October Revolution, the volume of brick production at the plant increased to 7 million, and the residential settlement of workers began to grow.
Their further development was hindered by the Great Patriotic War . In 1941 , as a result of heavy bombardments and shelling, the plant and the residential village were wiped off the face of the earth.
After the liberation of the city, from 1943 to 1946 , the plant and some barracks were restored by captured Germans.
