Zelenogorsk, Krasnoyarsk Krai
Zelenogorsk (Russian: Зеленого́рск) is a closed town in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. It was formerly known as Krasnoyarsk-45 and was involved in enriching uranium for the Soviet nuclear program. Population: 66,018 (2010 Census preliminary results);[1] 69,355 (2002 Census).[2]
The town is located on the left bank of the Kan River 180 kilometers (110 mi) above its confluence with the Yenisei River.
It was granted town status in 1956.
As a closed town, it went under the codename Krasnoyarsk-45 until Russian President Boris Yeltsin decreed in 1992 that such cities could use their historical names. The town appeared on no official maps until then. As is the tradition with Soviet towns containing secret facilities (e.g. Ozersk, aka Chelyabinsk-40; Tomsk-7; Sarov, aka Arzamas-16, Sverdlovsk-45), Krasnoyarsk-45 is actually a number of post office and implied that the place was located directly in the city of Krasnoyarsk, but really in distance of 160 km from it.
It is a sister city with Newburyport, Massachusetts, United States.
