Balashikha, Industrial city in Moscow Oblast, Russia.

Balashikha stretches along the banks of the Pekhorka River, situated 25 kilometers east of Moscow with numerous factories and residential districts.

The establishment of a cloth manufacturing facility in 1830 marked the beginning of Balashikha, which later gained city status in 1939.

The reconstructed Cathedral of Saint Alexander Nevsky stands as a central religious building, replacing the original structure that was removed in the 1960s.

The city maintains direct transport connections to Moscow through regular train services and the proximity to the Moscow Ring Road.

The Ice Palace Balashikha Arena serves as a primary venue for professional ice hockey and bandy competitions in the Moscow region.
