In Soviet times the city rose to the status of an agricultural and light industry centre whose fame was due to such enterprises as ChervonaZirka Agricultural Machinery Plant, Hydrosila Hydraulic Units Plant, Radiy Radio Component Plant, Pishmash Typewriter Plant. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Kirovohrad saw the decline of the city's industrial potential. Since 2002 the economics of Kirovohrad has been slowly reviving.
