Village of Roza

The mining village of Roza is located five kilometres outside the town of Korkino on the Chumlyak stream and has a population of 14,900.

The village is said to have been established in 1932 after the opening of the Krasnaya Roza (Red Rosa) collective farm, which was named after German revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg. In 1932, the first coal mining enterprise began to be constructed in the neighboring village of Korkino. The rapid development of the Korkino coal field led to the collective farm being used for pit operations. The village of the newly established miners received the name "Roza," which is the simplified version of the former collective farm's name.

The village has 605 residential buildings and households, with 491 located on near-edge rock slide hazard areas. Seventeen have been classified as dilapidated and hazardous, and their residents have yet to be resettled.
