Mulino (Russian: Му́лино) is a settlement in Volodarsky District (Russian: Володарский район) of Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.[1] Population: 11,711 (2002 Census).[2] Dialing code: +7 83136. Postal code: 606083.
There is a significant military presence in the area; a local newspaper describes Mulino as "surrounded by military units".[3] An important facility in the area is the Mulino training center of the Russian Ground Forces, which in September and December 2007 was the site of joint US-Russian military exercises, part of the series codenamed "Torgau" (after the city in Germany that figures in the military history of both countries).[4] [5] [6] Joint exercises at Mulino were originally planned for 2006 ("Torgau-2006"),[7] but were canceled, possibly due to the protests of certain local groups against the presence of foreign military on Russian soil.[8][9]
Among military units listed by Kommersant-Vlast in 2002 at Mulino were the 34th Guards Artillery Division, the 99th Guards Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment (3 MRD), the 211th Training Artillery Brigade, the 245th Guards Motor Rifle Regiment (3 MRD), the 752nd Motor Rifle Regiment, the 237th and 100th Tank Regiments (3rd Motor Rifle Division), one other unit, and a penal battalion.[10] Headquarters 3rd Motor Rifle Division was nearby in Nizhny Novgorod.
There is also a penal battalion at the site.[11]
Several military reorganisations have now occurred, and a listing of units at Mulino is now best accessed at [1]. As of late 2009, units there appear to include 6th Independent Tank Brigade, 288th Artillery Brigade, and a rocket forces and artillery depot.
