brief history
The year of Foundation of the city is 1221 th.
The next year, after a successful campaign
against the Volga Bulgars, Prince Yuri
Vsevolodovich ordered to put the city at the
mouth of the Oka: "I decided to strengthen an
important place behind Russia." In the annals it
is said that he commanded to found a "new
city", whence the name came. But there are
other versions of the appearance of the name.

The history of the city is full of military
campaigns. This testifies to the important
purpose of the city. The geographical
position was very advantageous from the
point of view of military strategy. On the one
hand, the Kremlin was built on Sentinel
mountain, where two waterways were
visible. On the other hand, the city had a
natural defense in the form of steep banks
of the Volga, threatening to constantly
crumble when approaching them a large
number of people.
