Volgorechensk, town in Russia
Volgorechensk is a small town in the Kostroma region of Russia, built around energy and industrial projects in the 20th century. The town has residential blocks, a cultural center, a church, and factory buildings that together define its layout.
The town was founded in the second half of the 20th century, when power stations and industrial plants were built in the area. These facilities drew workers and created the foundation for the settlement that exists today.
