==History== The village of Mikhaylovka () has been known since the 17th century. It developed during the Great Patriotic War of 1941 to 1945 in connection with intensive coal exploitation at the Moscow Coal Basin. The Soviets built numerous mines on the lands of a kolkhoz called Young Communist International (, abbreviated as , or ) and a habitat for miners. It was granted work-settlement status and given its present name in 1948; town status was granted to it in 1952.
