[1] It received the status of agrotown in 2010 according to the "State program for the revival and development of rural areas, for years 2005–2010".
[5] In 2021, Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko suggested to merge Lyasny and the neighboring village of Barawlyany, together with two other adjacent settlements, Vopytny settlement and Lyeskawka village, into a city with a population of about 70,000, but soon the idea was abandoned.
