Дореволюционная Россия на фотографиях Великий Новгородm около 1900 Pre-revolutionary Russia in photographs Veliky Novgorod about 1900 Veliky Novgorod also known as Novgorod the Great, or Novgorod Veliky, or just Novgorod, is one of the most important historic cities in Russia. It was here, in 862, that Prince Rurik proclaimed the modern Russian state – the Rurik dynasty went on to rule Russia for more than 750 years. At its peak during the 14th century, it was one of Europe's largest cities. The ancient settlement was a major centre for trade, democracy and the spread of Orthodoxy; its glorious Cathedral of St Sophia is the oldest church in Russia. Music: "La plainte d'Armide" by Nikolai Tcherepnin
