Murino

Murino extends across 13 square kilometers along the eastern border of Saint Petersburg, connecting to the metropolis through the Devyatkino metro station.

The settlement, first documented in 1676 with 704 inhabitants, transformed from a rural village to an urban center of 104,911 residents by 2023.

The municipality maintains independence from Saint Petersburg while serving as a residential extension for workers who seek more affordable housing options.

The Saint Petersburg Ring Road crosses the southern part of Murino, providing direct access to transportation networks and metropolitan connections.

The rapid transformation from Russia's largest village to a city of 100,000 residents occurred within a single decade, leading to substantial urban development challenges.
