Zvezdnys

Zvezdny is a name that can refer to several places, primarily in Russia. The most prominent Zvezdny is an urban-type settlement in the Perm Krai, known for its association with the Russian space program. It is home to the Perm Military Institute of Rocket Forces, a training center for missile troops. This location has played a significant role in the development and operational readiness of Russia's strategic missile forces.

Another notable Zvezdny is a settlement in the Tula Oblast, also associated with military facilities, particularly related to rocketry. These settlements, often established to support specific industrial or military functions, typically have a concentrated population and infrastructure designed for their primary purpose. The name "Zvezdny" itself translates to "starry" or "stellar" in Russian, reflecting a connection to space or celestial themes, which is fitting given their historical links to the aerospace and defense sectors.

Beyond these military-associated locations, smaller villages and hamlets across Russia might also bear the name Zvezdny. These typically have a more rural character and are primarily agricultural or residential communities. The presence of multiple places named Zvezdny highlights a common naming convention in Russia, often drawing inspiration from natural phenomena or national aspirations, such as space exploration.
