History

The town is home to one of the oldest flax-processing factory in Russia,[6] established in 1848 by Pyotr Lyurs,[10] when Krasavino was still a selo.[11][12] Lyurs was not able to get enough profit from the linum production and sold the factory to Yakov Gribanov.[10] Under Gribanov, Krasavino played a prominent role as a major producer of textile (known sometimes as Gribanov textile).[6][12]

In 1899–1914, a number of carcasses of huge reptiles from the Permian period were found in the outskirts of Krasavino.[6] Krasavino was granted work settlement status in 1927[13] and town status in 1947.[6]
