Kubinka (Russian: Ку́бинка) is a town in Odintsovsky District of Moscow Oblast, Russia, located on the Setun River, 63 kilometers (39 mi) west of Moscow. Population: 22,964 (2010 Census);[1] 26,158 (2002 Census);[4] 8,019 (1989 Census).[5]
Kubinka was the location of the Soviet Union's tank proving grounds, and today is the home of the Kubinka Tank Museum. It is also the location of the MAPO aircraft Maintenance Factory#121 and the Kubinka air base.
The town is linked by the suburban rail to Moscow's Belorussky railway station.
The village was founded in the 15th century and may have been named after Prince Ivan Kubensky, a prominent local land owner. It grew in importance after mid-19th century when the Moscow-Smolensk railway passed though the area. The military test range for tanks was opened in 1931 and the military airbase opened soon afterwards. Town status granted to Kubinka in 2004.
