Дореволюционная Россия на фотографиях Ростов на Дону вокруг 1900 г. Pre-revolutionary Russia in photographs Rostov-on-Don around 1900 As the name implies, Rostov lies on the River Don, and is only 32 km (20 mi) from the Sea of Azov. In 1749, a custom house was established on the Temernik River, a tributary of the Don, by edict of Empress Elizabeth, the daughter of Peter the Great, in order to control trade with Turkey. During the ensuing centuries the town grew due to its river connections with the Russian interior. When these photographs were taken the city had developed into a major trade centre with railway connections with Kharkiv, Voronezh and Vladikavkaz...... Music: DRom Suite Concertante .
