Talk:Shakhtyorsk

foundation date?
founded after 1905 is not specific enough for me. i know that shakhtyorsk is a suburb of uglegorsk and uglegorsk was founded in 1905. the next major town or place nearby is lesogorsk but much further north of uglegorsk. i need to know a more exact foundation date then after 1905. becasue this could mean 1906 or any year. and besides if uglegorsk the central town was founded in 1905 i find it a statistical oddity that one of its main suburbs would be founded only a year later. 69.221.172.106 (talk) 18:14, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I can't help you with the exact date, but for what it's worth, a 1914 map I have does not show anything at this location (the map otherwise shows the settlements in both Russian and Japanese jurisdictions), so it must have been later than that.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); November 18, 2011; 18:54 (UTC)
