The word red is also found, but not as a sign of color, but of quality (Red Roman, red maiden). From the above it becomes clear that the word red means semantic meaning"beautiful, beautiful."
Before late XIII century Red developed in a peaceful environment, and then from the second half XIV V. and up to mid-17th century V. Red was either subordinate to Lithuania, then became part of the Moscow, then part of the Polish-Lithuanian state. Only in 1654 was Krasny finally returned to Russia.

The names of the streets Glinka and Tvardovsky speak about this. In honor of a fellow countryman, famous physicist, thrice Hero Socialist Labor, K.I. Shchelkin named one of the streets of Krasnoye.

The city, drained of blood by previous wars, fell into disrepair and in 1667 was transformed into a palace village. In 1776, by Decree of Catherine II, Krasny received the title of a county town, and in 1780 the first regular plan for its development was approved. On October 10, 1780, the city was granted a coat of arms. At the top there is the coat of arms of Smolensk (a cannon with a phoenix bird sitting on it). At the bottom there are gates and two red towers on a silver field. There was no stone fortress in Krasnoye. Apparently, the coat of arms emphasized the importance of Krasny as a city located on the outskirts of Smolensk. The coat of arms has become a symbol of the fact that Red is a reliable guard and a mighty stronghold on the western borders of the Russian state. 
The coat of arms of the city of Red Smolensk governorship was approved in 1780:
At the top of the shield is the coat of arms of Smolensk, at the bottom"
gates and two towers of red color in a silver field, meaning the name of this city"

The museum collection contains over 12 thousand items on the history and cultural heritage of its region. It contains ethnographic objects, a numismatic collection, rare documents, photographs, unique information and other relics. The purpose of the exhibition is to present the history of the region: the life of peasants, the events of the Patriotic War of 1812 and the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945, and to reflect the modern appearance of the Krasninsky region. 
There are two historical monuments in Krasnoye - these are monuments in honor of the soldiers of the Russian army who fought at Krasnoye against Napoleon's army in 1812 (both were installed in 1912). The main and fundamental difference of the Krasninsky district is its border position. Russian and Belarusian cultures have always been united in the area, forming a unique local flavor. And today there is a constant exchange of creative teams and delegations, and joint sporting events are held with the nearest Belarusian regions. In the Krasninsky district, agriculture predominates, specializing in meat and dairy farming, potato growing, and flax growing. Industry: flax and dairy factories, a drainage pipe plant and a vegetable drying plant (all in Krasnoye and the village of Gusino). As of January 1, 2010, there were 127 trading enterprises, 25 catering enterprises, and 9 consumer service enterprises operating in the district. The most important enterprises of the village: a plant for electrical impulse meters, a bakery, a flax processing plant, a cheese-making plant, a vegetable drying plant, a brick factory, a branch of the Smolensk PA "Iskra" printing house. In the Krasninsky district, special attention is paid to the development of sports. Volleyball, basketball, tennis, football, and skiing sections have been created and operate. They employ about 1,500 people. Athletes in kettlebell lifting achieve very high results. Among them: International class master of sports, world champion A. Nesterenkov and winner of the USSR, Russian and World Cups V. Meshkov. Materials used:
