According to the 1926 census , there were 1 household, 6 people lived (3 men and 3 women) ^[1] . In 1940 there were about 15 houses, almost all of them were empty. Presumably, the indigenous inhabitants of the site left when the authorities tried to organize a collective farm. In the deserted houses settled the families of exiles who were engaged in the collection of resin for the Ziminsky chemical farm. Mostly women and adolescents worked, as the heads of families sat in the camps. It was impossible to leave the site at this time, the commandant was watching the payroll. After the end of World War II, residents of Lenkovsky were issued passports, and many of them returned to their homeland. During this period, new residents appeared in the village, a store, a bakery and a club were opened. In the late 1940s, the collection of resin was stopped, and the residents of the site were left without work. In the 1960s, Lenkovsky ceased to exist ^[2] . On the topographic map of the General Staff of the USSR in 1985, this settlement is marked as non-residential ^[3] .
