Since 1951 and hence forward during the soviet era, the city became a "secret city" (possibly a closed city) codenamed "Mailbox 28", and did not feature on maps, because of the establishment in the city in 1951 of a uranium mine and mill for the extraction and processing of uranium ore - although mining of uranium locally in the city has since officially ceased.
Present day activities of the Eastern Mining and Processing Enterprise (VostGOK) headquartered in the city are reportedly concerned with extraction of iron ore and production of hydrochloric acid as well as the continued milling of uranium ore mined from more distant regions further to the east, and as such VostGOK is the largest European and the only Ukrainian extractor of uranium ore and only Ukrainian producer of uranium concentrate.
