History
[edit]Novovoronezh was established along with the start of the future nuclear power plant construction works in 1957.[9] It was then called the urban settlement of Novo-Graessovsky, but renamed its current name later the same year.
The first unit of 210 MW of the Novovoronezh Nuclear Power Plant was put into power on September 30, 1964.[9]
From 1959 to 1963 Novovoronezh was the center of the Novovoronezh district, and its administrative status was upgraded from the urban settlement to a town in 1987.[10]
In 2020, an ambiguous monument was erected in the city to the legendary founder of the city Alyonka, who, according to legend, found a good place and brought her fellow villagers there. Thanks to this monument, Novovoronezh became famous throughout Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. The forged sculptural composition, which cost the city a million rubles and caused negative feedback[11] from citizens, was dismantled three days after installation and later sold at auction for 2.6 million rubles. with a starting price of 1 million rubles. The updated monument to Alyonka, but already made of bronze, was opened on July 1, 2022.[12]
