Bronnitsy

Bronnitsy ( _ru. Бро́нницы) is a town in Moscow Oblast, Russia, located on the Moskva River 57 km southeast of Moscow. Population: 18,232 (2002 Census); 11,900 (1967).

Bronnitsy is known to have been existing since 1453 as the village of "Bronichi". It grew as an important station on the highway leading from Moscow to Ryazan and Astrakhan.

Tsar Fyodor III founded a horse farm there, while his brother Peter granted the village to his friend Alexander Menshikov. The Archangel Cathedral was built in 1697-1704.

Bronnitsy reverted to the crown in 1727 and was chartered as a town by Catherine the Great in 1781.
