History
An urban-type settlement was established here in 1932, to which town status was granted in 1940.
In the 1940s, the Antifascist Central School, in which many foreign Communists studied and lectured, was located at Krasnogorsk. After the Battle of Stalingrad in 1943, Krasnogrsk became the birthplace of The National Committee for a Free Germany (NKFD), an organization of German exiles living in the Soviet Union. Many members of this organization would play a role in the establishment of the German Democratic Republic and its military.
After the war, the German V2 rocket scientists whom the Soviet Army had captured were taken here with their families for sharashka work.
