Peresvet (Russian: Пересве́т) is a town in Sergiyevo-Posadsky District of Moscow Oblast, Russia, located on the Kunya River (Dubna's tributary) some 90 kilometers (56 mi) north-east of Moscow and 17 kilometers (11 mi) north of Sergiyev Posad. Population: 17,500 (2005 est.);[citation needed] 14,719 (2002 Census).[1]
Officially it was founded in 1948 as a settlement servicing NIIKhimMash (НИИХимМаш; abbreviation for "research institute of chemical engineering")—a research institute for bench testing of rocket engines and thermal vacuum chamber testing of spaceships. It was named Novostroyka (Новостро́йка).
Until 1992 Novostroyka was a restricted area.[citation needed] During the Soviet period settlement was completely under institute's authority. Later it was managed by the administration of Krasnozavodsk.
On December 8, 1999, Novostroyka and a part of Krasnozavodsk containing the research institute were incorporated into the town of Peresvet (named after the medieval military hero Alexander Peresvet).[2] The process was finalized on March 28, 2000.[3]
