Kashira, Administrative center in Moscow Oblast, Russia

The city extends along the right bank of the Oka River, positioned 115 kilometers south of Moscow at an elevation of 190 meters.

Established in 1357 under the name Koshira, the settlement relocated to its current position in 1619 following damage from Crimean Tatar raids.

The municipal coat of arms displays the Zilant symbol, connecting the city's heritage to the historical elements of the Kazan region.

The Kashirskaya thermal power plant supplies electricity to the region, while multiple transportation routes link the city directly to Moscow.

In 1950, Kashira became the location of the first High Voltage Direct Current transmission terminal in the entire Soviet Union.
