Raduzhny, Closed town in Vladimir Oblast, Russia.
Raduzhny is a closed town in Vladimir Oblast that sits in a valley formed by three rivers. The settlement occupies a defined geographic area at a moderate elevation with natural water barriers separating it from surrounding regions.
It was founded in 1971 as Vladimir-30 for specialized industrial research and production. The settlement received its current name in 1991, marking a shift in its official designation and development direction.
The population of approximately 17,500 residents maintains local traditions through community events and celebrations within the restricted access boundaries of the town.
Access to this town is restricted and requires special permits for outside visitors. Those interested in visiting should check current authorization requirements and documentation procedures in advance.
The name means Rainbow in Russian and stands in stark contrast to the town's industrial activities. This naming choice creates an interesting tension between peaceful symbolism and the reality of a restricted zone.
