Pushchino (Russian: Пущино, IPA: [ˈpuɕːɪnə]) is a town in Moscow Oblast, Russia, one of the scientific centers of the Russian Academy of Sciences. situated 100 kilometers (62 mi) south of Moscow, and 13 km south-east of Serpukhov, on the right side of the Oka River opposite the Prioksko-Terrasny Nature Reserve. It is informally called Pushchino-on-Oka.[citation needed] Population: 20,332 (2010 Census);[2] 19,964 (2002 Census);[6] 19,479 (1989 Soviet census).[7]

History

The town takes its name from the village of Puschino, which was first mentioned in the 1589 records ('cadasters') of Ivan the Terrible as being a fiefdom of the Pushchin family. The modern town of Pushchino was founded in 1956 on the hill above the Oka River, some of the highest ground in Moscow Region, to host the new Radio Astronomy Observatory, an important resource that continues to contribute to mapping of space flights. This was followed by the establishment of Pushchino as a Science City, focusing on biological sciences. It was granted town status in 1966.[citation needed]

In the area around Pushchino there are several mezolithic, neolithic, and bronze age settlements. On the outskirts of modern town there is also a small Dyakovo culture Iron Age hillfort that dates back 2500 years. 1 km to the west of Pushchino on important Oka river ford in the 1th to 16th Centuries there stood an ancient Russian town of Teshilov, earthworks of which can be seen today.

At the end of the 18th Century a prominent country house was established overlooking the water at Pushchino, that became for a time the home of Alexander Alyabyev (1787–1851), an acclaimed composer. This mansion was the setting for the director N. Mikhalkov’s 1974 film ‘An Unfinished Play for Mechanical Piano'. The Pushchino mansion [8]is now in disrepair and the ruins are still an important tourist site.

The structure of modern Pushchino was planned by scientists in the 1950s - two parallel roads, the residences, shops, and restaurants on the northerly road closer to the river, the institutes along the southerly road, and a large green zone and park between them.

Today Pushchino is among the top-ranking academic centers in Russia.
