== History == The history of Zimovniki village began in 1898. At this time the construction of Tikhoretskaya-Tsaritsyn railway line was being carried out. This railway had a station called Kalmytskaya. Around it a village began to grow, which was surrounded by numerous pasters (in Russian they are called Zimovniki). The station and the village quickly became a place for fairs, where livestock was sold and sent by rail. In 1904 Kalmytskaya station was renamed into Zimovniki station.
