history

A village called Kostino in place of the current settlement was first mentioned in 1646, later in the 17th century as Kostino, also Wlassicha . Until the 20th century there was a small estate and a country estate belonging to various nobles, first to the Pushkin family, then to the Moscow boyar Kirill Naryshkin, maternal grandfather of Tsar Peter I , and towards the end of the 18th century the former ruler of the Principality of Moldova, Alexandru II. Mavrocordat, who fled to Russia .

From the 1920s onwards, various Red Army facilities were set up near Vlasicha , including the predecessor of the military microbiological research institute, before it was relocated to the island of Gorodomlja (now the Solnetschny settlement ) in Lake Seliger in 1937 . During the German-Soviet war in Wlassicha in October 1941, the staff of the Western Front of the Red Army under Georgi Zhukov , who coordinated the defense of Moscow against the advancing German Wehrmacht , was temporarily located .

After the war, Vlasicha was expanded to become the command post of the Soviet army's strategic missile troops and was given the cover name Odintsovo-10 , the housing estate also closed military town No. 22/1 (Russian: Sakryty wojenny gorodok № 22/1 ). By order of the Russian President on January 19, 2009, the settlement was spun off from the city of Odintsovo, to which it previously belonged, and received the status of a SATO ("closed city") and an independent urban district, which also included the neighboring village Judino belonging "Mikrorajon" ( prefabricated housing estate) Schkolny was connected.
