| | ACP - Introduction to KMZ |
 | | After a State Optical Factory resided there in 1926, the town was renamed to "rabochij posjolok Ban'ka", worker's settlement Ban'ka, and finally to 'gorod Krasnogorsk' (the town of Krasnogorsk) on the 7th of October 1940. |
 | | KMZ kept many employed, as was in line with the communist ideal of banishing unemployment: in its heyday, KMZ ran a hospital, two culture palaces, one or two colleges, a stadium, an electric plant, a pump station, kolchozes and many more. |
 | | The town of Krasnogorsk housed some 100.000 people and certainly one third of those were employed by KMZ. |
