The plant later became known as the RKK Energia; when the Vostok space vehicle was being developed, this research center was designated as NII-88 or POB 989. Russian Mission Control Center is also located in Korolyov. Though the real control is decentralized due to security reasons and all space aircraft may be controlled from many different locations across Russia, the historic center of control is still in Korolev, and is called FCC – Flights Control Center. In July 1996, the city was renamed in commemoration of Sergei Korolev, the father of the Soviet/Russian space program, who died in 1966.

The 2017 Ivanteyevka school shooting was a school shooting and attempted bombing that occurred in Ivanteyevka in Moscow Oblast on the morning of September 5, 2017. When ninth-grader Mikhail Pivnev entered the building of "Educational Center No. 1", where he was a student and opened fire from an air rifle, and then detonated homemade explosive devices. As a result of the attack, four people were injured - an IT teacher, whom the teenager hit in the head with a cleaver and shot in the face, as well as three school students who jumped out of the window of the educational institution. Pivnev was detained by law enforcement officers. A psychological and psychiatric examination established the teenager's sanity at the time of the attack. On February 15, 2019, the Ivanteevsky City Court of the Moscow Region, having found the "Ivanteevsky shooter" guilty of attempted murder of two or more persons and hooliganism, sentenced him to 7 years and 3 months of imprisonment in a correctional colony, and also imposed an additional penalty in the form of a fine of 20 thousand rubles. Among other things, the court satisfied the victims' claims for compensation for material and moral damages in the total amount of more than 2 million rubles. The Ivanteyevka incident was the first time in Russian history that an attack on an educational institution was carried out by a copycat of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the perpetrators of the Columbine High School massacre on April 20, 1999. The incident, as well as the fact that the attacker was inspired by the actions of American mass murderers, caused a wide public outcry and led to the emergence of a number of legislative initiatives: in particular, a federal law was passed banning “Columbine communities” on social networks and other Internet resources that incite children to commit suicide and commit crimes. Similar incidents would follow: on 19 January in Ulan-Ude, 18 April in Sterlitamak, on 15 January 2018 in Perm, on 19 January of the same year in Ulan-Ude, on 18 April in Sterlitamak.
