Zelenogorsk, Krasnoyarsk Krai

Zelenogorsk ( _ru. 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: ru-census2002|69355|.

The city is located on the left bank of the Kan River km to mi|180 above its confluence with the Yenisei River in Siberia.

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 is actually a P.O. Box number and implies that the place is located some distance from the city of Krasnoyarsk.
