History
Korkino was founded as a village in the second half of the 18th century, and was granted town status on October 2, 1942, in the midst of the Second World War, at a time when much of the Soviet Union’s heavy industry was relocated away from the fighting on the Eastern Front to more isolated areas like the Ural Mountains.
On October 24, 2024, residents of the local gypsy quarter killed a Russian female taxi driver, which provoked a pogrom. Local residents besieged several houses and turned over cars, at least two persons were wounded.
