Zelenograd was built in 1958 and later developed as a reflection of the US Silicon Valley. It was officially a closed city until 1991. It was one of the most powerful centers of electronics, microelectronics and computer industry in the former Soviet Union, and it still plays a similar role in modern Russia. Some residents attest and writings suggest that the concept of building a high tech geographical satellite of Moscow was conceived of by two fugitive Silicon Valley engineers - Alfred Sarant (more known in Russia as Philip Staros) and Joel Barr (Joseph Berg), who pitched the idea to the Soviet government. As Zelenograd was built de novo on a previously empty, forested place, its architecture and civic layout yields to one general architectural plan (chief architect I. A. Pokrovsky).
