Description | |
Kostroma,
city and administrative centre of Kostroma oblast (province), western Russia. It lies along the middle Volga River about 200 miles (320 km) northeast of Moscow. It is believed to have been founded in 1152 by Yury Dolgoruky, but the first documentary evidence of the town dates from 1213. Kostroma's key position on the Volga trade route caused bitter struggles among Novgorod, Tver, and Moscow; it was annexed by Moscow in 1329. The city's cathedral, dating from 1239 and rebuilt in 1773, is situated in the kremlin (fortress) and is a fine example of old Russian architecture. In the 19th century Kostroma became a major textile centre
Zakharov was himsel born in this old Russian town. |
