The Great Patriotic War

Zhukovka was occupied by Nazi troops in September 1941, and from the very first days a partisan struggle unfolded in the area.

The partisan detachment “For the Motherland” was created on Zhukovsky soil on the initiative of an underground group of communists from the Beloglavaya station. On May 1, enemy garrisons in the villages of Knyavichi and Strashevichi were defeated, and Soviet power was restored in many villages. The “For the Motherland” brigade defeated three German headquarters, 36 enemy garrisons, blew up 4 railway bridges, derailed 81 enemy trains, and destroyed more than 6 thousand German soldiers and officers.

Fascist punitive forces tortured and shot 243 people in the village of Matrenovka for contacts with partisans. The village was burned to the ground, repeating the fate of Belarusian Khatyn.

In September 1943, Soviet troops completely liberated the Zhukovsky region from the German invaders. The liberated area lay in ruins. Restoration of the destroyed economy began. Fishing artels, an industrial plant, a regional consumer union, and a railway canteen began their activities. Already in October 1943, the question arose about reviving the convoy plant.

Story

In 1867, construction of the Oryol-Vitebsk railway began. The organizer of the construction was Pyotr Gubonin. To maintain the road and refuel the locomotives with water and firewood, Gubonin settled several families here. This is how the story of Zhukovka began.

In 1871, Zhukovka turned from a stop into a station. In 1879-1880 a station with a cafeteria was built. Not far away were the lands of the landowner Zhukov (he was selling timber and building sawmills). The sawmills of Velkovsky and the Francis brothers were the first industrial enterprises of Zhukovka.

In 1878-1881, construction of the Zhukovka-Lyudinka (Kletnya) road began. We needed rails and parts for them. For this purpose, an iron foundry was organized in Zhukovka. In 1894, the Oryol-Vitebsk railway became state-owned.

Architectural appearance of the city

Until the 1960s, the development of Zhukovka (then still a village) consisted of one-story log houses. These were standard buildings with three living rooms, a cold corridor, an entrance hall (altar) and a kitchen. Such a house had up to two wood stoves.

In the 1960s and 1970s, brick residential buildings appeared.

In the 1980s, five-story residential buildings were built. At the same time, streets appeared lined with houses for workers of the bicycle factory, DRSU, SU-868, hospitals, etc. As a rule, these are one-story houses with 2-3 apartments.

Nowadays, wooden buildings no longer predominate; most private houses are lined with brick, some are finished with siding, some have been demolished.

Private shops make a big contribution to the appearance of Zhukovka.
