In the summer of 1945, on the Kitoy-Angara turnout, a
place was determined for the construction of a plant for the
production of artificial liquid fuel, the equipment for which was
imported from Germany on reparations. According to the plan, it was
planned to build a working village here.
In October 1945, the
first fifteen builders arrived at the site. The construction of the
first dugouts began in the area where the 18th quarter is now
located.
In the spring of 1946, the construction of the village
of Mayska began.
In April 1948, in the area of the 1st quarter,
the construction of the first stone house began, so Sotsgorod was
founded. Along the Naberezhnaya and Moskovskaya streets (between
quarters 1, 26 and 38), the Komsomoltsev square was laid (now there
is a monument to the Decembrists in this place).
In the summer of
1948, the construction of the city and the plant was transferred to
the Glavpromstroy of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Construction of barracks and yurts began around the industrial zone,
along the Trans-Siberian Railway, from the village of Kitoya to the
Sukhovskaya station. This is how the 2nd, 7th, 8th, 13th districts
and the Yuzhny settlement appeared.
In 1949, the massive
construction of a two-story stone dwelling began. 26, 27, 35, 36,
37, 38 and other quarters were built. By the beginning of 1950, over
100 thousand square meters of housing, three schools, a
kindergarten, shops and canteens were commissioned.
On May 30,
1951 Angarsk was given the status of a city. By this time, about
700,000 m² of housing had been built, half of which was in capital
construction.
In 1959, according to the All-Union census, the
population of Angarsk reached 134 thousand people.
January 18,
1971 by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the
USSR: "For the successes achieved by the workers of the city in
fulfilling the tasks of the five-year plan for the development of
industrial production, to award the city of Angarsk, Irkutsk region,
with the Order of the Red Banner of Labor." Angarsk became the 25th
city in the USSR to receive such an award.
In 1993 the Angarsk
region was created. The territory with a total area of 71,973
hectares was allocated to Angarsk from the Irkutsk and Usolsk
regions. Four years later, the territory within the boundaries of
the district with the city became the Angarsk Municipal Formation
(AMO).
Angarsk is located on a mountain at the
confluence of the Kitoya River with the Angara.
The territory
within the city limits covers an area of 294 km² (21 thousand
hectares).
Angarsk is located 5150 km from Moscow, 40 km from
the regional center of Irkutsk, 50 km from Irkutsk airport, 117 km
from Lake Baikal.
In clear weather, from the upper floors of
the Angarsk high-rise buildings, the peaks of the Kitoiskiye Goltsy,
a mountain range in the Eastern Sayan system, are clearly visible.
On December 31, 2004, two municipalities were formed by the Law of
the Irkutsk Region:
Angarsk municipal formation with the status
of an urban settlement, that is, the city of Angarsk proper.
Angarsk
municipality of the Irkutsk region (AMO) with the status of a municipal
district, which included the city of Angarsk and other municipalities.
Since that time, for more than ten years, Angarsk has been one of three
cities in Russia with a population of more than two hundred thousand
people (along with Balakovo and Nizhnekamsk) that do not have the status
of an urban district. This laid the foundation for a potentially
conflict structure in the budgetary, social and other spheres. In 2005,
there were numerous protests in the city for granting the status of an
urban district to the Angarsk municipal district, and in April 2006, the
population of Angarsk voted in a referendum to unite with the villages
of Meget and Savvateevka into a single municipality. The population of
the village of Odinsk refused to take part in the referendum, postponing
the decision to the spring of 2007, when the village deputies again
refused to call a referendum, depriving the residents of the opportunity
to determine the fate of the AMO. As a result, no decision was made on
the status of the urban district.
In May 2006, the governor of
the Irkutsk region, Alexander Tishanin, proposed another option - to
unite the cities of Irkutsk, Angarsk, Shelekhov and many other
settlements into one municipality "Big Irkutsk", but after the
resignation of A. Tishanin, the consideration of the project was
postponed indefinitely.
In 2014, the issue of merging Angarsk and
AMO into a single municipality again became relevant in connection with
the elections of the mayor of AMO and the regional Duma.
By the
law of the Irkutsk region, from January 1, 2015, all municipalities of
the Angarsk municipality (the municipality "city of Angarsk", the
Megetskoye municipality, the Odinsk municipality and the Savvateevskoye
municipality) were transformed into the Angarsk city municipality,
endowed with the status of an urban district.
In December 1991, for the first time, elections were held for the
head of the administration of the city of Angarsk. Alexander
Terentyevich Shevtsov was elected mayor.
On April 1, 1994, Vladimir
Alexandrovich Nepomniachtchi took over as mayor.
In April 1998 Viktor
Viktorovich Novokshenov was elected.
On April 7, 2002, Evgeny
Pavlovich Kanukhin took the post of head of the Angarsk Municipal
Formation (AMO). On October 9, 2005, he was re-elected to the post of
head of the administration of the city of Angarsk, and Andrey Petrovich
Kozlov (now Kapitonov) became the mayor of the AMO (municipal district).
According to the results of the elections on December 2, 2007, Leonid
Georgievich Mikhailov was elected to the post of head of the
administration of the Angarsk urban settlement, for whom more than 70%
of the votes were cast.
In the summer of 2010, amendments were made
to the Charter of the AMO, according to which the institution of a city
manager was introduced, and the mayor of the municipality was elected
not by direct popular vote, but from among the deputies of the Duma of
the AMO by secret ballot of the deputies themselves. This decision
caused a great public outcry.
In October 2010, elections to the Duma
of the AMO were held. The deputies elected a member of the United Russia
party Vladimir Valentinovich Zhukov as the mayor of the AMO. The
deputies approved Anton Medko for the position of city manager.
Amendments were made to the Charter of the AMO, in accordance with which
direct elections of the mayor were returned.
On March 4, 2012, a
referendum was held in which the issue of granting the status of an
urban district to the Angarsk urban settlement was decided. As a result
of voting, 85% of voters supported the transformation of Angarsk into an
urban district
October 14, 2012 in Angarsk, elections were held for
the head of the city and deputies of the city Duma. Vladimir
Valentinovich Zhukov was elected to the post of head of the city
administration.
Since January 1, 2015, the urban settlement of
Angarsk, the Angarsk municipality and other municipalities of the
district have been transformed into the Angarsk city municipality with
the status of an urban district. The powers of the previously existing
bodies of the executive and representative authorities have been
terminated, they continue to temporarily exercise their powers until the
formation of the authorities of the city district.
On April 26, 2015,
elections of deputies and the mayor of the Angarsk city district were
held in Angarsk. Sergey Anatolyevich Petrov was elected the head of the
urban district. 25 deputies were elected to the Duma of the Angarsk
municipality of the first convocation.
On September 13, 2020, the
elections of the mayor of the Angarsk city district were held in
Angarsk. Sergey Anatolyevich Petrov was elected the head of the urban
