Kamensk-Shakhtinsky

Kamensk-Shakhtinsky is a city in the Rostov region, located at the northeastern spurs of the Donetsk ridge, on the elevated right bank of the Seversky Donets River (right tributary of the Don).
The city has been known since 1671 as a Cossack settlement, which originally arose near the Malaya Kamenka River (after which it got its name), then settled at the mouth of the Glubokaya River, and then for a long time located on the left bank of the Seversky Donets, on the site of modern Staraya Stanitsa (the so-called Fourth resettlement).
In 1957-1958 film director Sergei Gerasimov and his film crew lived in Kamensk during the filming of the film "Quiet Don (1958)". Some episodes of the film were filmed in the city itself, some in the nearby village of Bagaevskaya and the farm Dichensky.
