Why did Rzhev get such a name?
There are three versions on this
score:
1) From the word "rye", since there
were many rye fields in the area
and a large harvest was harvested.
2) There are many swamps around
the city, the water is rusty.
3) The legend associated with
Prince Vladimir and Princess
Agrippina, who are canonized.
After his death, Prince Vladimir
became the patron saint of the city.
At night, the rider rode around the
area, the horse scared off enemies
with his neighing.
