Sosensky (Russian: Сосенский) is a town in Kozelsky District of Kaluga Oblast, Russia, located in the southeast of the oblast, 90km (60miles) southwest of Kaluga, the administrative center of the oblast, and 10km (10miles) from Kozelsk, the administrative center of the district. Population:
It was founded in April 1952 as the coal-mining settlement of Tsentralny Kozelskogo stroyupravleniya (Russian: Центра́льный Козе́льского стройуправле́ния). On January 27, 1954, it was granted urban-type settlement status and renamed Leninsky (Russian: Ле́нинский); however, for an unknown reason it was renamed Shepelevsky (Russian: Шепелевский) on April 5, 1954, and finally Sosensky on April 10, 1954.[1] It was granted town status in 1991.[1]
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Sosensky is subordinated to Kozelsky District. As a municipal division, the town of Sosensky, together with three rural localities in Kozelsky District, is incorporated within Kozelsky Municipal District as Sosensky Urban Settlement.[2]
