Oktjabrski ( Russian Октя́брьский ) is an urban-type settlement in the Moscow Oblast ( Russia ) with 13,165 inhabitants (as of October 14, 2010).
geography
The settlement is about 30 km as the crow flies southeast of the center of the Russian capital - also the administrative center of the Oblast - Moscow and about 10 km from the Moscow motorway ring, not far from the right bank of the Pechorka , a left tributary of the Moskva .
Oktyabrsky belongs to Rajon Lyubertsy and is the administrative center of Lyubertsy about 10 km to the southeast. The place forms a municipality of the same name (Gorodskoje posselenije) , to which besides the settlement no other places belong.
history
In place of the current settlement, a village with the name Baljatino was first mentioned in the 16th century . During the reign of Peter I at the beginning of the 18th century, a factory for cutting and stabbing weapons was built there (Russian: Palaschny sawod ). Towards the end of the 19th century, the factory now known as Starogorskaja or Staro-Gorkinskaja manufaktura was converted to textile production ( weaving ) and expanded considerably by the entrepreneur Polijewkt Schorygin by the beginning of the First World War ; during this time it had 2,400 employees. The modern city coat of arms, in which strips of fabric are depicted with riflemen , also point to the town-building company .
In the Soviet period, the factory was after the October Revolution named (imeni Oktjabrskoi Revolyutsii). In 1928 the place received the status of an urban-type settlement, in 1957 its current name, like the textile factory after the October Revolution.

The largest company in town is still the textile factory, now under the name Tekstil-Profi , with an attached shopping center.

The M5 trunk road runs through Oktyabrsky and first leads from Moscow to Ryazan and then via Samara to Chelyabinsk . On the section near Moscow it is also referred to as Novorjasanskoje shot ("New Ryazaner Chaussee"). A siding (freight traffic only) connects the town's industrial operations with the Bykowo station six kilometers away on the Moscow - Ryazan railway line.
