description

The city was founded in 1951 as a workers' settlement and military base, has had city status since 1981 and was known as Golitsyno-2 until 1994, when it was given its current name (which literally means "Red Banner City") .

The city hosts the Titov - ground station of the Russian Space Forces , which has been symbolized in the coat of arms. The test center for Russian space systems is also located here. Due to the strategic importance of these objects, Krasnosnamensk has had the status of a closed city since it was granted city rights and can still only be entered by non-residents with a special permit.
