The latter, to note, is considered the largest settlement in the vicinity of the capital, and how a separate region could well enter the first hundred of the largest cities of Russia. Not so long ago, before the expansion of Moscow, Zelenograd occupied the second place of honor among the urban districts in terms of the number of green spaces. Then their share was 30% of the entire territory, second only to the Eastern Administrative District.

The beginning of history

Zelenograd (Moscow) was built on the site of the earlier villages Matushkino and Savelki, the village of Kryukovo and a number of other smaller towns and suburban areas. With the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War in 1941 along the Kryukovsky Highway (today it is called the Panfilov Avenue) the defensive line of the Soviet troops passed from the Kryukovo station. Today in the city, as well as its surroundings, you can see a large number of monuments in honor of those important events. The most famous of them is the memorial complex "Bayonets". December 3, 1966, in honor of the 25th anniversary of the defeat of enemy troops near the capital, the ashes of the Unknown Soldier were taken from the mass grave and then reburied near the Kremlin walls in the Alexander Garden. To this day on the Zelenograd land are found the remains of the dead, unexploded shells and other evidence of fierce fighting.

History of foundation

The official date of foundation of Zelenograd is March 3, 1958. This day the Council of Ministers of the USSR for the purpose of distribution of the population adopted a resolution on the construction of a new settlement near the station "Kryukovo" Okrug. For this purpose, the state allocated 11.28 square meters. Km, which is only 30% of the total area of the modern city. The construction was to be developed between the Leningrad Highway and the October Railway at a distance of 37-41 km from the central part of the capital. Works on the construction of the satellite city began in 1960. The development plan was developed by the chief architect Igor Evgenievich Rozhin. Initially, the city of Zelenograd was conceived as the main center of textile production. However, in 1962, thanks to the proposal of Alexander Ivanovich Shokin (chairman of the State Committee for Electronics), the main activity began to be planned in a different direction. Now the task of developers was the creation of a research center focused on the development of electronic and microelectronic technology. Later, Zelenograd was often compared to the American Silicon (Silicon Valley), in connection with which he received his main nickname - "Russian Silicon (more rarely - Silicon Valley)." Some researchers of the history of the Russian electronics industry believe that the decision of Shokin to put forward the initiative of reorientation was significantly influenced by American engineers who fled to the USSR - Alfred Sarantu and Joel Barru (known in the country as Philip Georgievich Staros and Joseph Berg Berg).

Chronology

In 1863 the first director of the "Science Center" was appointed. He became Lukin Fedor Viktorovich, and his deputy for science - FG Staros. On January 15, 1963, the city that was under construction had found its name - Zelenograd. It was awarded by the act of the Executive Committee of the City Council of People's Deputies at number 3/25. January 16, 1963, the suburban n. Zelenograd (Moscow) on the basis of the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR was transferred to the subordination of the district administration. On January 25, 1963, all administrative functions were transferred to the Leningrad Regional Council of the capital. In February 1965, Zelenograd was transferred from the district to the city subordination, thereby raising the status of the city. March 2, 1965 in connection with the decree of the Moscow City Executive Committee, the capital city council of workers' deputies began to manage it. In autumn 1968 (on the basis of a new decision of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR) Zelenograd was additionally given the status of the Moscow region. The general development plan, developed by the chief architect Igor Aleksandrovich Pokrovsky and his large team (architects G. Ye. Saevich, F. A. Novikov and others) was listed as a basis in 1971.

Expansion

In 1987, the village of Kryukovo and its adjacent neighborhoods were added to the territory of Zelenograd. According to the developers, this place was intended for the construction of a new industrial zone. But with the collapse of the USSR, the construction of CIE (the Center for Informatics and Electronic Technology) was discontinued, just before it began, while the construction of a large housing stock continued. The result was an imbalance in the number of city residents and the necessary jobs that Zelenograd could no longer provide. The situation was also aggravated by the crisis of the Russian economy of those times. A significant part of the city's population was forced to travel every day from the New Zelenograd to the old part or even to leave the district to Moscow.

The modern stage in development

In the summer of 1991, the capital, in connection with the decision to form administrative districts instead of old districts, put in place a reform of territorial division. According to her, Zelenograd (Moscow region) was transformed into a separate district. In January 1992, this decision was fixed by the decree of the incumbent president of the Russian Federation, as well as the chairman of the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation. In the same document there were delimitations of Zelenograd on 5 municipal circles: № 1-4, Kryukovo. The official registration as an administrative district was registered on July 5, 1995 by the law on territorial division. It also provides information on the zoning of the district into 5 parts. After a while, the formations were renamed Savelki, Matushkino, Silino and Staraya Kryukovo. Four industrial zones, located on the territory of the Old City, were outside the Zelenograd District. Later they were united into a single territorial group. December 4, 2002 Zelenograd (Moscow) along with its five city municipalities was further divided into 3 districts. This, in particular, Panfilovsky, Matushkino-Savelki, Kryukovo. Territorial unit "Zelenogradskaya", as well as a forest park located in the Old Town, was distributed between the districts of Matushkino-Savelki and Panfilovsky. In early 2010, the number of districts increased to five. Their names and territorial distribution were carried out in accordance with the municipal formations of the city.
