Kashira

Kashira (Russian: Каши́ра) is a town and the administrative center of Kashirsky District in Moscow Oblast, located on the Oka River 115 kilometers (71 mi) south of Moscow.

[citation needed] However, 1619 is considered Kashira's foundation year, when the town was transferred from the left bank of the Oka to the right bank some 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) upstream and rebuilt after it was badly damaged by the Crimean Tatars in 1592 and 1596.

The coat of arms of Kashira contains the image of Zilant, a heraldic symbol of Kazan.

[8][9] The closest to Moscow where it was visually confirmed that Wagner troops had reached was Krasnoye, Lipetsk Oblast.

[1] As an administrative division, it is, together with five rural localities, incorporated within Kashirsky District as the Town of Kashira.
