From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vatutinki (Russian: Вату́тинки) — Russian settlement (village) near Moscow in the Moscow Oblast. It is the location of a GRU base with Space Intelligence Directorate. It manages the Russian space reconnaissance program in coordination with the Fleet Intelligence Direction of the Fifth Directorate.
Vatutinki is the biggest village in Russia with a population of about 9500. However, one can not find any of the small houses there that are usually predominant in Russian villages.
