history

A village of Kremjonki was established at the beginning of the 18th century not far from the older village of Troitskoye on the opposite bank of the Protva river. It initially belonged to the Ujesd of the city of Serpukhov , 20 kilometers to the east , which is now in the neighboring Moscow Oblast .

The place remained relatively insignificant for a long time, but became the seat of a village soviet during the Soviet period . During the Second World War , the front line ran near Kremjonki from mid-October 1941. The 260th Infantry Division of the Wehrmacht had left there (north) of the Protva two bridgeheads captured. At the end of October it was replaced by the 52nd Infantry Division , whose further advance on the left of the Oka from the direction of Tarussa to Serpuchow could be prevented by the Soviet troops. On December 16, 1941, the 194th Rifle Division of the 49th Army of the Western Front of the Red Army counterattacked in the Kremjonki area during the Battle of Moscow and pushed the German troops back several dozen kilometers in this area.

East during and after the construction of extensions of the Nuclear Research Institute in a few kilometers, already in the Moscow Oblast located Protvino the original village was built from the 1970s to the northwest, a housing estate for construction workers and employees of the Institute and other institutions.

In 1989 the place received the status of an urban-type settlement , and on December 28, 2004 finally the city charter.
