Zaozyorny (Russian: Заозёрный) is a town and the administrative center of Rybinsky District of Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia, located on the Barga River (Yenisei's basin), the affluent of the Kan, 166 kilometers (103 mi) east of Krasnoyarsk on the 4,263 km of the Trans-Siberian Railway (Zaozyornaya railway station). Population: 10,683 (2010 Census preliminary results);[1] 12,476 (2002 Census);[2] 15,714 (1989 Census).[4]

The name of the town is an adjective meaning "beyond the lakes", referring to the lakes on the south the town is abutting on.[5]

It was established in 1776 as the sloboda of Troitsko-Zaozyornaya in the land owned by the Troitsko-Turukhansky Monastery. The main occupation of the settlers was mica mining; later placer mining. In 1934, it was granted the status of urban-type settlement and renamed Zaozyorny due to the anti-religious matters (the "Troitsko-" part of the name means "of the Trinity"). It was granted town status in 1948.

In the Soviet era, a number of plants and factories were built in Zaozyorny: electronic parts, brick, baking with a huge grain elevator, milk, furniture, and sewing factories. All of them become barely functional after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. In the beginning of the 2000s, the furniture and sewing factories have been funded by the Krasnoyarsk companies and become functional again while the mica mill yet remains in crisis.[6]

In 2002 and 2006, the town faced a critical situation with the central heating functionality due to the local government's financial crisis.[7][8]
