Sovietskiy district was formed due to the building of the aluminum industry enterprises consisting of the Belogorskiy nepheline mine, Achinskiy aluminous plant, Krasnoyarsk Aluminum and Metallurgic plants.
Officially the district was formed on April 27, 1969 with the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR "About the formation of Sovietskiy district in Krasnoyarsk." It was separated from the Tsentralny district and was located in the northwestern part of the city, covering an area of 115 square kilometers. More than 67,000 people lived there. The number of the large industrial enterprises was 15 at that time.
Today the territory of Sovetskiy District - the largest district of Krasnoyarsk - is 92 sq.km. It borders with Tsentralny district on the left bank of Kacha River. Further to the north the boundary passes on the Shakhterov Street. It includes such micro districts as Solnechnyy, Zelenaya Roscha, Innokentyevskiy, Severny, Vzletka and the village of Peschanka.
Sovetskiy district today is the beautiful squares, a great number of flowers, beautiful houses, wide roads and, of course, its inhabitants: active, creative people who truly love their district and want to live, work and build a family here. They associate this part of the city with prospects and prestige.
