Known since the 16th century as the village of Voskresenskoye, it was acquired byPatriarch Nikon to serve the needs of the neighbouringVoskresensky (Resurrection) Monastery. By 1781, the village had grown into the town of Voskresensk and become the seat of anuyezd.[8]
In 1930, the town was renamed Istra (after the river which flows through it) in order to avoid the old name's religious connotations.[9] As a result of short-term occupation during theGreat Patriotic War (from November 25 to December 11, 1941), the town was severely damaged. After the war, Istra became a center of research in the area of electrical power engineering.
Famous Russian short-story writer and playwrightAnton Chekhov used to work in Istra and its outskirts, while his brother Ivan Chekhov was a teacher at a local school. Soviet geographerAlexander Kruber was born in Istra.
