Losino-Petrovsky

Losino-Petrovsky (Russian: Лоси́но-Петро́вский) is a town in Moscow Oblast, Russia, located at the confluence of the Vorya and Klyazma Rivers 52 kilometers (32 mi) northeast of Moscow.

[7] In 1708, a manufacture for producing elk leather uniforms was established by Peter the Great.

The sloboda around the manufacture was named Losinaya Petrovskaya (Лоси́ная Петро́вская).

The manufacture existed until 1858, by which time several other textile factories were established.

[citation needed] Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is incorporated as Losino-Petrovsky Town Under Oblast Jurisdiction—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.
