Gus-Khrustalny (Russian: Гусь-Хруста́льный) is a town in Vladimir Oblast, Russia, located on the Gus River (a tributary of the Oka River) 63 kilometers (39 mi) south of Vladimir, the administrative center of the oblast. Population: 60,784(2010 Census);[6] 67,121(2002 Census);[10] 76,360(1989 Census);[11] 65,000 (1970); 40,000 (1939); 17,900 (1926).

Etymology

The name of the town may be translated as "crystal goose", for it is known as one of the oldest centers of glass industry in Russia and stands on the Gus River. There are reasons to believe that its name is not derived from goose directly, but rather from the common Slavic term "goose" (in the respective languages) for a large (up to several gallons) bottle.
