The town was founded in 1930 at the same time with the beginning with the operation of “Nickanor” coalmine. The coalminers’ settlement was at first called after the coalmine.
The old Nickanor coalmine was closed and the new one, Nickanor-New, was built from 1982 till 1998.
Now there are dozens of kilometers of underground tunnels now where coal is extracted.
About 1,700 workers are employed at Nickanor-New coalmine now. Leave a Comment

This building with fur trees can be seen from afar. It is the administrative building of Nickanor-New coalmine.
In the fifties of the last century there was a Stalin bust in the park where I stood to take this picture.
The people’s leader was facing the windows of the administration and keeping an eye on the folks there. Leave a Comment

This is a rare picture of Zorinsk vessel on the Danube near the Ukrainian port of Ismail.
The ship’s project is H-3170 and the type is "Zaporozhye".
It was sold by the Black Sea Company to India in 1996 and now sails in Calcutta as “Deneb” (or “Danube”).
The vessel was called after the town for its construction was sponsored in the sixties by several enterprises and the biggest share of investments belonged to the local coalmine.
There was a correspondence between the city residents and the crew who invited the town residents to come aboard some day. It is too late now… The ship is sailing somewhere at the shores of the faraway India.
The picture is taken from Russian Riverships web site:

This street leads to the square with the town club and the war memorial behind it.
As you can see, it is a rather clean and straight road with good asphalt – something to be proud of in such a small town! Leave a Comment

We found advice and help at the town council located in Lenin Street.
We met the mayor and his deputies and had a very good welcome.
having lunch with our new friends at their place. Leave a Comment

You can try to call the town council if you at first call the Luganskugol coalmining administration in Luhansk
(tel. (0642) 57-62-14),
ask them to connect you with Nickanor-New coalmine in Zorinsk and then ask the town operator at the coalmine in Zorinsk to connect you with the town council. It sounds rather complicated, but works quite well. Leave a Comment
