Padun and Energetik
New Padun was built from 1956 on land above the future reservoir, beside the old village. It housed construction management and, for a time, the city administration. Energetik began in 1959 for power-station and construction-industry workers, forming a distinct centre close to the dam.
The right bank and relocated communities
Gidrostroitel grew from the project’s 1955 right-bank base. Osinovka’s history combines railways and relocated Zayarsk residents; its station became Gidrostroitel in 1961. Bratskoye More developed beside a railway siding. Sukhoi grew when a timber-transfer base moved to Zyaba Bay in 1959.
The central site
The central residential district served timber-complex and smelter workers and relocated residents. Development of the Pyanovo site began in the late 1950s; early streets received names in 1963. The masterplan separated homes and industry around retained forest. Temporary wooden settlements near factories eased shortages while creating future problems.
Settlement and district are different things
Padun urban district was created in 1973 and Central District in 1980; neither is identical to a historical settlement. Osinovka, Sukhoi and several others entered the city boundary after 1991. A historical map must not silently substitute present-day boundaries.
