Yaroslavl, Russia. Best Russian historical city to visit
Situated at the confluence of the Volga and Kotorosl Rivers around 300 km north-east of Moscow, the historic city of Yaroslavl developed into a major commercial centre from the 11th century.
There are two major passenger railway stations in Yaroslavl. They can be easily mixed up. The one you are probably looking for is called ‘Yaroslavl-Glavny’. The city is connected to Moscow by a fast electric train service with comfortable seats. Just 3 hours from the capital of Russia and you are in the very centre of Yaroslavl.
Yaroslavl is one of the Golden Ring cities, a group of historic cities northeast of Moscow that have played an important role in Russian history. The historic part of the city is a World Heritage Site.
One of the central squares of Yaroslavl is called Sovetskaya. Ironically, the most beautiful and notable orthodox church in the town is located just here. This is the Church of Elijah the Prophet, which is a very prominent example of the way in which the city developed in the 17th century.
The church of the Epiphany is an Orthodox church in Yaroslavl. Built in 17th century as well, it is known for beautiful fresco paintings and tiled decoration of facades.
Another famous cathedral in Yaroslavl, Uspensky, was built in the 13th century and destroyed in the Soviet era, the city park was created on its place. The cathedral was rebuilt in 2010, its construction was completed to the 1000th anniversary of Yaroslavl.
While walking around the city centre you will definitely find this Kremlin-alike construction. The truth is it is not the Yaroslavl Kremlin, it is the Cathedral of the Spassky (St Savior) Monastery. The Cathedral is the oldest buildings in the city. Typical for a Russian monastery of the Middle Ages, the Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery in Yaroslavl was not built to be no more than a place of worship, but also to be a citadel and kremlin in case, in times of war.
Just near this monastery you can find a little structure, the Lady of Kazan Chapel. If you have a one thousand rubles banknote, you can find it there as well along with the monument to Yaroslav the Wise, the founder of the city.
1000 Anniversary of Yaroslavl was celebrated in Russia in 2003. Huge part of the historic centre was renovated with some new sightseeings constructed. Strelka park is one of them, it’s a huge promenade area at the bank of the Volga river with beautiful views. The Volga embankment is a good example of urban planning in the classicist style; built in the 1840s, this promenade walk has remained a favourite place for residents to take a stroll and relax ever since.

Follow the Volga and Kotorosl Rivers to where they meet, and you will find the historic city of Yaroslavl.
This Russian city has been an economic power since the 11th century, and served as the country's de facto capital in the 17th century.
The medieval churches of Yaroslavl are typically Russian Orthodox in style and persuasion.
In 1763, Catherine the Great ordered a radical makeover of the town that would serve as a model for urban planning across the country.
Yaroslavl today is the result of this urban program, and is thus a beautiful example of Western cultural exchange and influence.
The city's neoclassical style, impressive monuments and historical importance all contribute to its UNESCO World Heritage designation.

The five-domed church of Elijah the Prophet built in 1647-50 on the site of two previous churches, is one of the most recognisable symbols of the city and one of the most complete and best-preserved monuments in the historic city of Yaroslavl...
The church is built with two-tiered closed galleries, which are led from a massive entrance porch with a four-tiered bell tower adjoining on the north-western corner of the church. The church is topped with five heads upon which rest light drums(cupolas). The drums are decorated with arches and columns and surrounded by rows of kokoshniks - a traditional Russian architectural decorative feature in semi-circular form
Soon after the consecration of the church, a priceless relic was delivered to Yaroslavl from Moscow - a piece of Christ's Robe.. Especially built for the relic was a new chapel that was constructed to the western gallery...
However graceful and beautiful is the exterior, it pales into insignificance compared with the interior. Every inch of the interior walls are covered with the most beautiful and complete series of paintings dating back to 1680
#Russia #Yaroslavl Church of St Elijah the Prophet
The most beautiful church of the city, the Church of Elijah the Prophet is the pride and joy of Yaroslavl and the favorite tourist attraction. It was built in 1647 – 1650 and is one of the most complete and best-preserved monuments of Yaroslavl. Built on the site of two churches, the Intercession and Elijah, the church is considered a real masterpiece of ancient Russian art. The main structure of the temple is a massive building on high foundation topped with five heads resting on light drums. The drums are decorated with arches and columns and surrounded by the rows of kokoshniks. But the main thing is, of course, the interior painting, made by famous Kostroma masters. They have no equals in beauty, richness and brightness of colors.
From both sides the Church of Elijah the Prophet is surrounded by a wide two-tier covered gallery. The gallery from the north and the west is accessed by richly decorated porches. The northwest of the temple is decorated with a tall tent bell tower. Its ornate level is surrounded by arched windows. It is the chapel of the Deposition of the Robe that gives such an unusual openwork appearance to the Church of Elijah the Prophet. Its tall slender octagonal tent is surrounded by a number of kikoshniks, that make the whole structure look elegant and colorful.

STORYLINE:
It was like the first day of summer camp at the lakeside resort of Seliger, but the scrubbed young campers in T-shirts and casual clothes had more than beadwork and canoeing on their minds.
Ten thousand young commissars, their title borrowed from the Communist Party leaders of the Soviet era, came here to learn to be Russia's next generation of tycoons and political leaders.
Equally important, they came to prepare to stamp out any challenge from opposition groups to President Vladimir Putin's government.
All were summoned by Nashi, a pro-Kremlin organisation that pays homage to Putin and seeks to promote Russia's resurrection as a superpower capable of frustrating what leaders call Western imperialism.
''Here there are new people and new projects. Some are ready to give birth to children; some are ready to be enlisted in the army; some are ready to learn hard for eight hours a day...today we are demonstrating a new human being here, Vasily Yakemenko, the founder of the group, told Associated Press Television at the camp on Tuesday.
Yakemenko, 36, a former construction manager, founded Nashi, which means Ours, in 2005 ostensibly as an anti-fascist movement aimed at reducing xenophobia and hate crimes.
Clad in red T-shirts, the commissars ran to classes in groups wearing name badges with electronic chips that monitored attendance. Skipping lectures was punishable by expulsion, as was boozing, cursing and unsanctioned
fraternisation.
The new movement replaced an earlier pro-Kremlin group, also led by Yakemenko, called Walking Together. That group became notorious for burning books and disrupting allegedly degenerate art exhibitions and performances.
