Zhukovsky
City in Moscow Oblast, Russia, located on the Moskva River, 40 kilometers (25 mi) southeast of Moscow. Population: 104,736 (2010 Census).
The urban-type settlement of Stakhanovo was founded in 1935 from the dacha settlement Otdykh (literally, "Relaxation"). It was named after Alexey Stakhanov, a Russian miner of the Stalinist era. On April 23, 1947, the settlement was granted town status and renamed Zhukovsky, in honor of famous scientist Nikolay Zhukovsky.
Zhukovsky is a home to the M. M. Gromov Flight Research Institute known as LII and N. Ye. Zhukovsky Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute known as (ЦАГИ) TsAGI — they are two major facilities involved in testing and designing aircraft. These facilities were employers for a great portion of the city's population before perestroika.
