Obukhovo (Russian: Обу́хово) is an urban locality (a work settlement) in Noginsky District of Moscow Oblast, Russia, located 26 kilometers (16 mi) east from Moscow. Population: 9,630(2010 Census);[1] 10,746(2002 Census);[4] 11,359(1989 Census).[5]

Overview

The settlement is divided into two parts by the M7 auto route.

Two rivers flow through Obukhovo: the Klyazma and the Shalovka (Klyazma's tributary).

Obukhovo used to be a famous center of textile industry. Its core enterprises were a sand pit and two carpet factories. Bankruptcy of the factories led to their closure in 2002.

History

Obukhovo was first mentioned in a book about Moscow region written in 1573–1574. In 1708, English businessman Andrew Stales built a powder mill in Obukhovo, which later manufactured gunpowder. In the first half of the 19th century the powder mill underwent bankruptcy and was sold on auction.

In 1775, Obukhovskaya suburb was organized near the powder mill.

In 1852, Anisim Tyulyaev built a clothing factory and in 1857 Mikhail Brunov built a carpet factory in Obukhovskaya suburb. After the October Revolution, both factories were nationalized. In 1958, the factories merged under the name of "Lenin Carpet and Clothing Enterprise of Obukhovo".

On May 21, 1928, the settlement was granted urban-type settlement status and renamed Obukhovo.

In 2002, "The Carpets of Obukhovo" Joint Stock Company (former "Lenin carpet and cloth combine of Obukhovo") went bankrupt and in 2006 it was liquidated.

Sports

The settlement is also well known as one of the bandy centers of Russia. Many bandy players from Obukhovo became World Champions. Sportivny Klub Obukhovo[6] is one of only two clubs below the highest division of Russian Bandy Super League to have an artificial ice.[7] Obukhovo has hosted several Youth World Championships. In February 2011 it was for Girls-17,[8] in December 2011 for Boys-23, in which the Russian team was victorious after beating Sweden after extra-time in the final[9] and in 2013 the same tournament.[10]

The other sections of Sportivny Klub Obukhovo are association football, volleyball, judo, and field hockey.
