Lyubertsy ( Russian Люберцы ) is a Russian city with 172,525 inhabitants (October 14, 2010) in the Moscow Oblast . It is located around 20 km south-east of Moscow , just before its city limits. Other neighboring cities are Kotelniki and Dzerzhinsky , and the settlements Tomilino and Kraskowo adjoin Lyubertsy .

history

The place was first mentioned in documents from 1621; there Lyuberzy was led as a village called Liberizy , which in turn could be derived from the first name Liber . The village was dominated by agriculture until the 19th century. Over time, the land there changed hands and in the first half of the 18th century belonged to the military and statesman Alexander Menshikov , and later temporarily to the Tsar Peter III .

Lyubertsy Central Railway Station

Lyubertsy experienced a notable development from the late 19th century, when on the one hand the population of Moscow rose sharply and, at the same time, Lyubertsy, which is close to Moscow, was given convenient transport links with the laying of the strategically important railway line Moscow - Ryazan - Kazan . Since then it has developed into a satellite city of Moscow, in which, in addition to numerous summer dates , large residential areas and several industrial companies have sprung up.

Lyubertsy received city status in 1925. In the 1930s, several neighboring villages were also incorporated into Lyubertsy. Towards the end of the 1980s, the city was the center of the Ljubery , an aggressive anti-Western movement.

economy

Today the city is not so much a dacha suburb, but rather a large industrial city. Among the two dozen industrial objects in Lyubertsy, there are mainly mechanical engineering companies (including a helicopter factory of the Kamow design office and several factories that specialize in the manufacture of agricultural equipment), as well as companies in the wood processing and light and food industries. Agriculture also plays an important role in Lyubertsy, including the large agricultural enterprise Belaya Datscha . A significant number of the city dwellers work in nearby Moscow.

traffic

The city has direct connections to the M 5 trunk road and to the Moscow ring road MKAD , which also has connections to a number of other main roads . In addition, Lyubertsy is a railway junction, as the busy railway line to Arsamas (which is sometimes used as a section of the Trans-Siberian Railway ) branches off from the line to Kazan in the area of ​​the city . There are a total of four passenger stations in the city. The main train station, which serves both routes, is called Lyuberzy-1 .
