A little about Pushchino

Pushchino is a modern town that is well known in our country and abroad as the Scientific Center of Biological Researches of Russian Academy of Sciences. The main trends of the activity that the Research Center is engaged in are molecular biology and bioorganic chemistry, biotechnology, genetic engineering, industrial and environmental microbiology, biophysics and cell biology, soil sciences and photosynthesis.

The town is situated at the distance of 120 km south of Moscow in a picturesque place that is on a high bank of the Oka River.

From here, the slope of the Oka bank, a wonderful view is opening on the opposite side where Prioksko-Terrasny State Nature Reserve is situated.

Rational planning and picturesque landscapes of the town add it an attractive and unique appearance that differs from other cities of Central Russia. In summer, Pushchino is buried in verdure of squares, parks and groves and painted with fabulous autumn tints in September.
