Kratovo (Russian: Кра́тово) is an urban locality (a suburban (dacha) settlement) in Ramensky District of Moscow Oblast, Russia, located 40 kilometers (25 mi) southeast of Moscow. Population: 8,277 (2010 Census);[1] 6,855 (2002 Census);[4] 6,295 (1989 Soviet census).[5]

Zoe Williams of The Guardian wrote that Kratovo "resembles a Russian Guildford with high hedges, gigantic trees, the careful, botanical planning of expensive privacy."[6] and that the locality "has a reputation for being full of former KGB safe houses, though I couldn’t find one Moscovite who would vouch for that."[6]

History

On 10 June 2017, a 50-year-old man opened fire on passers-by in the settlement, killing five people.

Notable people

Yuriy Borzakovskiy, who won gold in the men's 800-meter race at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, was born in Kratovo. Sergei Eisenstein and Sergei Prokofiev had dachas here, and Soviet dissident Valeriya Novodvorskaya also spent time in a rented dacha here.[7][8]

George Blake, a famous Cold War spy, lived in a dacha in Kratovo.[6]
