Velikooktyabrsky (Russian: Великооктябрьский) is an urban-type settlement in Firovsky District of Tver Oblast, Russia. It is located on the left bank of the Tsna River. Population: 2,273 (2010 Census);2,659 (2002 Census);3,019 (1989 Census).
Velikooktyabrsky was founded in 1832 as a settlement serving the glass-making factory which belonged to local landowner Lvov. It was moved to the current location in 1875. At the time, it was a part of Valdaysky Uyezd of Novgorod Governorate. In 1912, the factory was bought by Pavel Ryabushinsky and reorganized. In 1923, the factory was nationalized and subsequently renamed into Veliky Oktyabr. The settlement was renamed as well. Effective October 1, 1927 Novgorod Governorate with its uyezds was abolished, and Rozhdestvensky District was established, with the administrative center in the selo of Rozhdestvo. It was a part of Borovichi Okrug of Leningrad Oblast. Velikooktyabrsky became a part of Rozhdestvensky District. On September 20, 1931, Rozhdestvensky District was abolished and merged into Bologovsky District of Leningrad Oblast.
On March 5, 1935 Kalinin Oblast was established. It included areas which formerly belonged to Moscow, Leningrad, and Western Oblasts. In particular, Firovsky District with the administrative center in Firovo was established. Velikooktyabrsky became a part of Firovsky District. In February 1963, during the abortive administrative reform by Nikita Khrushchev, Firovsky District was merged into Vyshnevolotsky District, but on April 6, 1972 it was re-established. In 1990, Kalinin Oblast was renamed Tver Oblast.
