Leninsk-Kuznetsky

Leninsk-Kuznetsky ( _ru. Ле́нинск-Кузне́цкий), known as Kolchugino ( _ru. Кольчу́гино) until 1925, is a city in Kemerovo Oblast, Russia, located on both banks of the Inya River (Ob's tributary). Population: 109,300 (2005 est.); ru-census2002|112253|; su-census1989|165487|; 128,000 (1972); 83,000 (1939); 20,000 (1926).

Leninsk-Kuznetsky is one of the main coal mining centers of the Kuznetsk Basin.

The first establishment goes back to 1763 with the creation of a village of Kolchugino. The extraction of coal starts in 1870 but does not become really intensive before 1912 thanks to an infusion of French capital. The agglomeration is renamed Leninsk in 1922 then Leninsk-Kouznetsky in 1924. It is granted town status in 1925. The city is entirely turned towards the extraction of coal. Many mines are within the limits of the city.

The city is on the trunk roads Leninsk-Kuznetsky–Novosibirsk and Kemerovo–Novokuznetsk and on the railway lines Novosibirsk–Novokuznetsk and Kemerovo–Novokuznetsk.

The city has a network of trolley bus since 1984.

It is where the final Olympic gymnastic teams will train before departing for China.
