Sergiyev Posad (Russian: Се́ргиев Поса́д, IPA: [ˈsʲɛrgʲɪ(j)ɪf pɐˈsat]) is a city and the administrative centerofSergiyevo-Posadsky DistrictinMoscow Oblast, Russia. Population: 111,179 (2010 Russian census);[4] 113,581 (2002 Census);[8] 114,696 (1989 Soviet census).[9]
It was previously known as Sergiyev Posad (until 1919), Sergiyev (until 1930), Zagorsk (until 1991).
Sergiyev Posad grew in the 15th century around one of the greatest of Russian monasteries, the Trinity Lavra established by St. Sergius of Radonezh, still (as of 2015[update]) one of the largest monasteries in Russia.[citation needed] Town status was granted to Sergiyev Posad in 1742.[citation needed] The town's name, alluding to St. Sergius, has strong religious connotations. Soviet authorities changed it first to just Sergiyev in 1919, and then to Zagorsk in 1930, in memory of the revolutionary Vladimir Zagorsky.[10] Sergiyev Posad was penetrated by Germany in 1941.[citation needed]
The original name was restored in 1991.[citation needed]
Within the framework of administrative divisions, Sergiyev Posad serves as the administrative centerofSergiyevo-Posadsky District.[1] As an administrative division, it is, together with twenty-six rural localities, incorporated within Sergiyevo-Posadsky District as the City of Sergiyev Posad.[1] As a municipal division, the City of Sergiyev Posad is incorporated within Sergiyevo-Posadsky Municipal District as Sergiyev Posad Urban Settlement.[5]
Due to the nature of this city and proximity to Kelarsky pond, art and culture has been integrated with this city and Numerous museums and palaces exists in this region, such as the Museum of Soviet childhood, the Pavel Florensky Museum, the Museum of toys. In addition, it is home to many such as which has been mentioned in War and Peace, Yuri Gagarin Palace of Culture which is a Russian Heritage Building
Tourism associated with the Golden Ring plays a role in the regional economy. There is also an important toy factory.

Gniezno, PolandIn March 2022, the Polish city of Gniezno severed its ties with Sergiyev Posad as a response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[13]
Lenin's successor Stalin intensified religious persecution in the Soviet Union overall, and the situation perhaps became threatening enough to warrant the town to change its name in 1930 to Zagorsk, derived from the name of the Bolshevik revolutionary Vladimir Zagorsky, who was assassinated by rival socialists in 1919.
