Partizansk, Mining city in Primorsky Krai, Russia.

Located on a spur of the Sikhote-Alin Mountains, Partizansk stretches along several creeks that flow into the Partizanskaya River at 140 meters elevation.

The settlement originated in 1896 as Suchansky Rudnik after coal deposits were discovered, leading to extensive mining operations in the Primorsky Krai region.

Korean settlers brought their traditions to the region in the early 20th century, influencing local customs and participating in resistance movements against Japanese colonization.

The city connects to the Trans-Siberian Railway through a branch line to Nakhodka, providing transportation links for both cargo and passengers across the region.

The city changed its name from Suchan to Partizansk in 1972 as part of a regional initiative to remove Chinese place names from the Russian Far East.
