In August 1953 the urban-type settlement Katyk became a city Shakhtyorsk.[3][4][5]

In 1964, a trade college was opened here.[3]

In 1985, the population of the city was 72 thousand people, the basis of the economy was coal mining.[4]

In 1989, the population of the city was 73 854 people,[6] the basis of the economy were coal mining, manufacture of clothes and knitwear.[5]

Since Soviet times until 1997, there were four vocational schools (№ 70, № 71, № 97 and № 98) and one college (a college of commerce and trade);[7] in May 1997, the vocational school № 71 was closed.[8]
