Sergiyev Posad (Russian: Се́ргиев Поса́д) is a city and the administrative center of Sergiyevo-Posadsky District of Moscow Oblast, Russia. It grew up in the 15th century around one of the greatest of Russian monasteries, the Troitse-Sergiyeva (Trinity) Lavra established by St. Sergius of Radonezh. The town became incorporated in 1742. As the town's name, alluding to St. Sergius, had strong religious connotations, the Soviet authorities changed first to just Sergiyev in 1919, and then to Zagorsk in 1930, in memory of the revolutionary Vladimir Zagorsky.

Photos from 1963
In 1959 the park was renamed
Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy (Russian: Выставка Достижений
Народного Хозяйства Vystavka Dostizheniy Narodnovo Khozyaystva) or ВДНХ/VDNKh.
The exhibition had 82 pavilions with the exhibition area of 700,000 square
meters. Each pavilion (including the 1939 "regions") had been dedicated to a
particular industry or a field: the Engineering Pavilion (1954), the Space
Pavilion (1966), the Atomic Energy Pavilion (1954), the People's Education
Pavilion (1954), the Radioelectronics Pavilion (1958).
