Krasnozavodsk

Krasnozavodsk ( _ru. Краснозаво́дск; lit. "red factory") is a town in Moscow Oblast, Russia, located on the Kunya River (Dubna's tributary) some 88 km northeast of Moscow and 15 km north of Sergiyev Posad. Population: 13,500 (2005 est.); 13,549 (2002 Census); 29,786 (1989 Census).

Krasnozavodsk was founded in 1915 as a settlement servicing a mechanical factory. Initially, it had no name. After 1917, it would be called Vozrozhdeniye ( _ru. Возрожде́ние, or "Revival"), Zagorsky ( _ru. Заго́рский; due to its vicinity to the then-Zagorsk), and Krasnozavodsky ( _ru. Краснозаво́дский). In 1940, the settlement was turned into the town of Krasnozavodsk. In 2000, the town of Peresvet was detached from Krasnozavodsk.

Some seven kilometers north of Krasnozavodsk is the settlement of Bogorodskoye, known as the center of one of the oldest popular handicrafts—fretted toys and small sculptures made of soft kinds of wood.
