Between 1703–1710 and 1766–1769, a factory was operating in the village. Town status was granted to it in 1916, when it was known as Medvezhya Gora (Медвежья Гора, lit. "bear mount").[citation needed]

The current name was given to the town in 1938. During World War II, the town was occupied by the Finnish Army from 6 December 1941 to 23 June 1944.
