History

The former Lezavichi estate was bought by Gurevich, an entrepreneur from Vitebsk, in 1902. Gurevich first built there a sawmill, and eventually the glass-making factory, which was opened in 1904. After the revolution, the factory was renamed The Krasny Luch Glass-Works, and the settlement around the factory, founded in 1905, became known as Krasny Luch.[6] At the time, Krasny Luch was located in Novorzhevsky Uyezd of Pskov Governorate. On August 1, 1927, the uyezds were abolished, Krasny Luch became a part of Bezhanitsky District, which belonged to Pskov Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were also abolished, and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast. On January 29, 1935 the district was transferred to Kalinin Oblast, and on February 5 Bezhanitsky District became a part of Velikiye Luki Okrug of Kalinin Oblast, one of the okrugs abutting the state boundaries of the Soviet Union. On May 11, 1937 the district was transferred to Opochka Okrug. On May 4, 1938 the district was directly subordinated to Kalinin Oblast.[7]

During World War II the factory was badly damaged, but after the war it was restored.[6] On August 22, 1944, Bezhanitsky District was transferred to newly established Velikiye Luki Oblast. On October 2, 1957 Velikiye Luki Oblast was abolished, and the district was transferred to Pskov Oblast. On August 28, 1958 Krasny Luch was granted urban-type settlement status.[7]
