Prior to the construction of the Angara
facility (hereinafter the landfill, cosmodrome), the village of
Plestsy was located on the southern tip of the modern city with a
post office on the Petrovsky highway from Arkhangelsk to
St.
Petersburg. The first historical mention of the village of
Plestsy dates from 1760, and it is connected with the construction
of a chapel in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. In the
years 1919-1920, during the Civil War, the village of Onega County
was the site of fierce battles between the Reds (communists) and Whites
(anti communists) with the help of the Allied forces of the Entente.
On the
northern tip of the modern Mirny was located the settlement “Rosin
plant”, in which from 1927 to 1958 there was a Rosin turpentine
plant. The settlement was found by 1960.
The new settlement
originated in 1957, as a military camp connecting intercontinental
ballistic missiles. Subsequently, on the basis of the
compound, a polygon was first created, and later, the Plesetsk
cosmodrome.
The city of Mirny is located on the shores of Lake
Pletsy. Emtsa, Kochmas, Mekhrenga, Koda and lake Kodlozero stand out. On
the territory of the city district there are launch complexes with
launchers of launch vehicles, technical complexes for the preparation of
space rockets and spacecraft and other facilities of the Plesetsk
cosmodrome.
Mirny is equated with the regions of the Far North.
The territory of the Mirny urban district is stretched from west to
east and borders on the Vinogradovsky, Plesetsky and Kholmogorsky
districts of the Arkhangelsk region.
The area of ZATO in the
Mirny urban district, which includes the city (5081 ha), the territory
of the cosmodrome and the surrounding forest area, is 1762 km². The
territory extends from north to south for 46 km and from east to west
for 82 km.
The borders of ZATO Mirny were approved by Decree of
the President of the Russian Federation of January 14, 2003 No. 37.
At 4 kilometers from the city is the urban-type settlement of
Plesetsk, the center of the district of the same name, with which Mirny
is connected by road and rail.
Plesetsk (Plestsy) military
airfield is located 3 kilometers from the city; until the early 1990s,
the airfield was called Pero.
Within the boundaries of Mirny
there is the Gorodskaya railway station, from where the railway network
of the cosmodrome begins.
The town of Mirny and the urban
district “Mirny” are equated to the districts of the Far North.
