In 1166 the city was first mentioned. In 1167 and 1198, the settlement was subjected to fires, first due to the fault of the Polotsk and Smolensk princes, and then the Poles and Lithuanians. In 1211, a fortress arose, built by the Novgorodians. In 1406 the name Velikiye Luki first appeared. 72 years later the city became part of Muscovy. In 1708, an earthen fortress was built. After 16 years, a pier appeared on the river. In 1777, Velikiye Luki became a district town. In 1781, a coat of arms appeared. In 1812, an agreement with Spain on counteracting Napoleon was signed near the city. In 1878, telegraph communication appeared with Pskov. In 1901 a railway station appeared. Seven years later, telephone communication was established. In 1912-13 the theater and cinema opened.
In August 1919, Soviet power was finally established in the city. After 9 years, the airport began to operate. In 1932, Velikiye Luki was electrified. Also in the 1930s, a number of industrial enterprises appeared. During the war, the city was occupied by the Germans twice - the first time until July 1941, and the second time from August of the same year to January 1943. In 1944, several enterprises appeared.

In 1985 it appeared. In 2008, Velikiye Luki was awarded the title “City of Military Glory”.
Provincial Empire
The Telegram channel “Arbiter” - apparently in the pre-election race for budgets, which does not negate the relevance of what has been said - published an interesting mini-investigation, according to which “a deputy mandate helps to lobby the personal business interests” of the Kozlovsky family.
Formally, Alexander Kozlovsky’s business is managed by his wife Zhanna: she owns 50%, to whom Rosseti’s subsidiaries awarded government contracts worth more than 85 million rubles. And here is a direct path to ZETO, a permanent contractor of the same Rosseti. Arbitr's sources believe that trustees of the Kozlovsky clan still have shares in the company.
Rosseti, in turn, publicly praises Kozlovsky for his fruitful work. It is reported, for example, that ZETO will install equipment at a substation in Crimea in the interests of Rossti. In general, ZETO received government contracts worth more than 190 million rubles, but the main purchases go through ZETO SMP North-West, formerly a subsidiary of ZETO. Now it is registered in the name of denominations, the Arbiter believes, but it can hardly be called Anastasia Aleksandrovna Kozlovskaya, a representative of the third generation of the reigning Velikiye Luki dynasty, as a denomination.
Let us add that the Industrial Electrotechnical Cluster of the Pskov Region, lobbied by Kozlovsky, is managed by the LLC of the same name, whose director is Denis Munshtukov, who is also the director of ZETO.
