The article lights up the history of the town of Kaspiysk from the time of its foundation as a working settlement to the present days. According to the authors, the history of Kaspiysk falls into three stages: 1) 1932–1947 – the emergence of a working settlement at the town-forming defense enterprise "Dvigatelstroi"; 2) 1947–1991 – the development of the “socialist settlement” of Kaspiysk at the town-forming defense enterprises “Dagdiesel”, “Precise Mechanics” and a branch of the “Volga” plant; 3) from 1991 to 2018, the post-Soviet period of the city’s development with no relationship with the city-forming enterprises, which due to the lack of defense orders and conversion were partially liquidated (the “Volga” branch), and the rest are in deep crisis and transformed into joint-stock companies and refocused on the noncore production (“Dagdiesel” and “Precise Mechanics”).
