The bulk of the stores are located mainly in the city center, near
the Central Market. Due to this, and also due to the lack of a large
parking lot, traffic near the MLP shopping center is difficult during
the daytime (especially in the winter, when due to cars parked at the
edge of the road, snow removal equipment is not able to clean the
roadway) . On weekends, the local population and city guests who are
aware of this problem try to avoid this area.

of the settlement Zybkoy were Old Believers who moved from the

the Old Believers played a significant role in the life and
development of the city of Novozybkov. The main activities of the
inhabitants in the 17th - the first half of the 18th century were
the production of ropes, handicrafts, and jewelry. In 1708-1709, the

Klintsy were connected by a telegraph line. In 1879 the zemstvo
public library was founded. Through the efforts of the public and
private individuals, such educational institutions as a real school
(1875), a women's gymnasium (1880), and an agricultural technical
school (1900) were created. In 1887, a railway station appeared in

The institution was organized in 1840, when Emperor Nicholas I founded
the Novozybkovsky prison for the detention of runaway convicts, which
since 1943 has become a men's prison, and in 1974 began to specialize in
the maintenance of recidivist women and those convicted of crimes in
women's correctional facilities. During these years, there were up to

center (including those enrolled in the detachment for the economic
part).
