Rudensk received the status of "urban-type settlement" (Городской посёлок) in 1938.

Economic

Near Rudensk located the Minsk TEC-5 coal powered generating station. Originally the plant was built as the Minsk Nuclear Heat- and Power Plant, consisting of two VVER-1000 reactors. After the disaster at Chernobyl, the plans were cancelled.
