History

Russians explored the region in the 17th century. In 1778, silver deposits were discovered here, and the first silver mine, which was included into the network of Nerchinsk silver refineries, was built in the village of Bazanovo. Catherine the Great ordered to give additional money to the network in 1790. As a result, on the spot of modern Alexandrovsky Zavod appeared a silver works in 1792, which later was named after Alexander I. All the workers of the works were political and penal criminals. The most famous of them was an ideologue of Russian Socialism, Nikolay Chernyshevsky.

After the silver resources depletion in the late 1880s, population comprised Cossacks and peasants who took active part in Russian revolutions.

The district in its modern form was established on January 4, 1926.[1]

In the 1930s, there was Cossack and peasant unrest caused by collectivization. There were massive deportations and repressions. World War II caused an enormous decrease in manpower and the district's industry.

The population of the district suffers from different oncological diseases.[citation needed]
