Дореволюционная Россия на фотографиях Кострома около 1900 Часть Первая Pre-revolutionary Russia in photographs Kostroma about 1900 Part One Here I present the first of two albums of original photographs taken of the town of Kostroma. This historic town forms part of the Golden Ring of Russian towns, and is located at the confluence of the Volga and Kostroma Rivers. The city was first recorded in the chronicles for the year 1213, but historians believe it could have been founded by Yury Dolgoruky more than half a century earlier, in 1152. Like other towns of the Eastern Rus, Kostroma was sacked by the Mongols in 1238. The heroic peasant Ivan Susanin became a symbol of the city's resistance to foreign invaders; several monuments to him may be seen in Kostroma. The future Tsar, Mikhail Romanov, also lived at the monastery. It was here that an embassy from Moscow offered him the Russian crown in 1612. As a result, the Romanov Tsars regarded Kostroma as their special protectorate……………. Music: Waltz in A-flat major, Op.36 No.7 by Anton Arensky
