Chernogolovka

Chernogolovka for the first time has been officially mentioned in 1710. In 1956, Chernogolovka grew into a scientific center with the help of Nobel Prize winner Nikolay Semyonov. Semyonov started the experimental branch of Moscow Institute of Chemical Physics, which in the 1960s–1970s grew into a scientific center. In 2001, Chernogolovka was granted town status and given the further status as a naukograd or science city in 2008. ==Administrative and municipal status==

Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is, together with nine rural localities, incorporated as Chernogolovka Town Under Oblast Jurisdiction—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts. As a municipal division, Chernogolovka Town Under Oblast Jurisdiction is incorporated as Chernogolovka Urban Okrug. ==Transportation==

Chernogolovka does not have a rail link but long-distance buses link the town to Moscow, Noginsk and Fryanovo. ==Research facilities==
