Zakrytye Administrativno-Territorial’nye Obrazovaniia (or ZATO; literally: 'closed administrative-territorial formations').
Closed city or closed town is a term that refers to a city or a town with travel and residency restrictions in a CIS country or in the former Soviet Union. There are two major categories of closed cities: closed because of the presence of sensitive military or nuclear industry and border cities (in fact, whole border areas) closed for security reasons (military locations, radar stations, etc.). Foreigners, and in some cases local citizens, may not travel to closed cities.

For example, the whole Kaliningrad Oblast was restricted for travel for Soviet citizens who were not local residents. The cities of Sevastopol and Vladivostok were also closed because of their naval bases. The closed city of Gorky was chosen as the place of Andrei Sakharov's exile so that foreign correspondents could not communicate with him). Perm was delisted from closed cities in 1987.
Included among the closed cities were the Zakrytye Administrativno-Territorial’nye Obrazovaniia (or ZATO; literally: 'closed administrative-territorial formations'), which were secret cities built by the Soviet Union. They were built for academic or scientific (Naukograd) purposes. There are an estimated forty known ZATOs, with approximately fifteen unaccounted for[citation needed].
