Gus-Khrustalny, a city not far to the east of Moscow, is home to the world-famous Gus-Khrustalny Crystal Factory. Originally the "Maltsov Crystal Factory", it was a business founded in 1724 by a Russian merchant Vasiliy Maltsov (Maltsev), starting with a small glassware works in Mozhaysk near Moscow. The number of Maltsov glass and crystal factories grew until the enterprise became the largest in the 19th century, producing household and presentation glass- and crystalware of wide-spread fame. They manufactured a wide spectrum of glass and lead crystal products, from simple glasses, vases and carafes to multi-person services and unique decorative items for interior design. In early Soviet times, the factory was renamed after Nikolay Bukharin, one of the leading figures of the Bolshevik revolution, Communist party and Soviet government. The name held only until 1938 when Bukharin was executed by a firing squad as part of Stalin's purges.
