History

Rovenky was founded in 1705, and was incorporated as a city in 1934. During the Great Patriotic War, Rovenky was occupied by Nazi Germany. A group of the underground anti-fascist Komsomol (Communist youth) organization Young Guard operated there.

Attractions

There is a "Pamyati pogibshikh" museum in the city ("In Memory of Dead" in English), which is a branch of the Krasnodon-based memorial complex "Young Guard". There is also the Common Grave of five members of the "Young Guard" and a monument, erected in 1965 on the place where they were shot by the Nazis in 1943.
