Moscow is not only the capital of Russia and the tourist Mecca, but also the city that people try to get into by any means. However, to purchase housing here is quite an expensive pleasure, as, indeed, to rent it. The great capital of our country has in its district many small cities and towns that are worthy of attention. But many visitors are concerned about the question, for example, the city of Vidnoye - is it Moscow or the Moscow region?
Satellite cities
The term "satellite city" literally means a settlement, most often a city, less often a village, located near a large city or a manufacturing, industrial complex. But the distance between cities should be no more than 30 kilometers. In general, the "satellite" should be in a single demographic and economic system with a large city.
Moscow agglomeration
The Moscow metropolitan region, or, in other words, the metropolitan area, includes not only the capital of Russia itself, but also a suburb consisting of smaller cities and towns.
Today, in the near zone of the Moscow agglomeration, 14 cities and several settlements are included. Many people ask themselves: Odintsovo, Vidnoe - is it Moscow or the Moscow region? These cities make up the suburban or nearest belt and are actually satellite towns of the capital. All of them are located from Moscow at a distance of no more than 30 km.
Status of the city Prominent
Until 1965, the city did not have this status, but was a working village called Vidnoe.
The answer to the question “Prominent is Moscow or the Moscow Region” is very simple - the city is the administrative center of the Leninsky district, which is subordinate to the Moscow region.
The city is rationally planned. All residential buildings are separated by a sanitary zone. There are several industrial enterprises in the village: a coke and gas plant, Megapak, which produces soft drinks and low alcohol drinks, a concrete plant, concrete products, and the Institute of Canning Industry. These enterprises allow us to say that Vidnoe is already a self-sufficient city and can independently exist and abandon the title of “satellite” of the capital.
Despite the presence of a coke and chemical plant, the city is not in the worst environmental situation, there are many parks in the village and there is even a Vidnovsky forest park. There are many reservoirs in the city - these are Tim, Kholmisty, Eriginsky, Maly Tarychevsky Pond and Pugovichichinsky, Tabolovsky Ponds streams. Also, the Kupelinka River flows through the city. Public activists periodically collect signatures on the closure of the harmful enterprise, because throughout the entire history of its existence, the sewage treatment plants have worn out in order, but the coke and chemical plant is still operating.
There is a railway to the city, conditionally dividing it into two parts:
- eastern, with urban buildings;
- western, built up like a summer cottage village, earlier it was really a cottage village - Rastorguevo.
As of 2017, 65, 974 people live in the village. Prominent is the Moscow region. Moscow is only a nearby city.
The settlement received its name because it is located on a hill and is visible from afar.
In 2006, Rosstroy assigned the settlement the status of "The most comfortable city in the Russian Federation with a population of less than 100 thousand people."
How to get to the city of Vidnoe (Moscow region)?
