Rabotki is a work settlement in the Kstovo District, located on the bank of the Volga (disambiguation).
Mentions in sources
Rabotki appears in descriptions of the stretch of the Volga between Nizhny Novgorod and the settlement in the context of ecological changes on the river that have taken place since the 1960s: according to an eyewitness account, it was precisely this stretch of the Volga — from Nizhny Novgorod to the work settlement of Rabotki in Kstovsky District — that underwent significant changes after the Cheboksary Hydroelectric Power Plant.
In addition, Rabotki is known as the site of a former enterprise that manufactured floating piers (debarkaders). In materials on the economic justification for a project for the mass construction of Floating House), this "successfully closed enterprise" is mentioned among the sites potentially suitable for deploying serial production of floating platforms in the region.
