Shostka: from Cossack mills to the chemists' town

Shostka traces its history to the 1670s, when Stepan Buhai, a Cossack of the Voronizh company, built several mills on the Shostka River, the first in 1676 under a decree of Hetman Ivan Samoilovych. By Hetman Ivan Mazepa's decree of 10 November 1701 the Voronizh town hall bought another mill here, and in 1739 it was handed over to build a gunpowder works that shaped the town's future. In 1812 local workers supplied the army with 24,536 poods of gunpowder, and in 1848 a primer factory, later known as Impuls, opened. Shostka received town status in 1924, and in 1931 construction began on the film factory that grew into Svema.
