On March 10, 1918, Krasnokholmsky Uyezd was re-established.[11] On April 25, 1921, it was transferred to newly established Rybinsk Governorate.[12] On February 6, 1923, Rybinsk Governorate was abolished[citation needed] and the uyezd was transferred back to Tver Governorate.[12] On March 3, 1924, Krasnokholmsky Uyezd was abolished and split between Bezhetsky and Vesyegonsky Uyezds.[12]
On July 12, 1929 the governorates and uyezds were abolished.[12] Krasnokholmsky District, with the administrative center in Krasny Kholm, was established within Bezhetsk Okrug of Moscow Oblast on the territories which previously belonged to Bezhetsky and Vesyegonsky Uyezds.[12] On July 23, 1930, the okrugs were abolished and the districts were directly subordinated to the oblast.[13] On January 29, 1935, Krasnokholmsky District was transferred to newly established Kalinin Oblast.[12]
The main industrial enterprise in the town is Krasny Kholm Electromechanical Plant. There are enterprises of timber, textile, and food industries as well.[14]
Krasny Kholm is connected by roads with Ustyuzhna via Vesyegonsk, with Tver via Bezhetsk, and with Sandovo via Molokovo. There are also local roads with bus traffic originating from Krasny Kholm.
Culture and recreation
Krasny Kholm contains thirteen cultural heritage monuments of federal significance and additionally forty objects classified as cultural and historical heritage of local significance. The federal monuments are the buildings of the Antoniyev Krasnokholmsky Monastery.[15] On the bank of the Mologa River, within two miles from the town, lie the ruins of the Antoniyev Monastery. The monastery cathedral was commissioned by Andrey Bolshoy in 1481; it was consecrated in 1493 and was rebuilt in limestone half a century later. This building—the oldest in the oblast—was reduced by the Bolsheviks to rubble; it still stands roofless and continues to decay. The Intercession Church (1596), as well as 17th-century walls and cells, were either demolished or mutilated beyond repair.
This former administrative building in Krasny Kholm is one of the town's objects of cultural heritage
Krasnokholmsky District Museum, located in Krasny Holm, was established in 1964. It has expositions on local history.[16]
