Pushkino, Administrative center in Moscow Oblast, Russia
Pushkino is a town in Moscow Oblast positioned where the Ucha River meets the Serebryanka, roughly 30 kilometers northeast of the Russian capital. The settlement sits at an elevation of around 160 meters and serves as the administrative hub of Pushkino Urban Okrug in the western part of the region.
The estate appears in documents from 1499 as property of Grigory Morkhinin, whose nickname Pushka shaped the name of the settlement. This family line later gave rise to the celebrated poet Alexander Pushkin, whose ancestors lived here for several generations.
The Institute of Forest Science conducts research within Pushkino, while the five-domed Church of St. Sergius from 1678 represents religious architectural heritage.
Regular trains and buses connect the town with the capital, allowing easy access for visitors coming from the Moscow region. Postal codes range from 141200 to 141208, helping travelers orient themselves across different neighborhoods.
A museum preserves the memory of poet Vladimir Mayakovsky, who spent time here and whose former residence now welcomes visitors. The Institute of Forest Science operates research projects in the surrounding area, focusing on woodland ecology and tree cultivation.
