The Vladimir Region is a unique ancient land. In the course of its development it saw the most significant milestone events of Russian history.  The formation of Northeast Russia and the princely internecine wars, the Tatar-Mongol invasion and the unification of the Russian principalities around Moscow, the Time of Troubles and Peter the Great’s reforms – one can get the whole thousand-year history from the early beginnings and Ryurik’s Dynasty up to modern-day Russia, the whole chronicle of the Russian Land through its unique historical monuments situated on the Vladimir Land and through the names of the notable statesmen: Yury Dolgoruky, Andrey Bogolyubsky, Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Pozharsky, Alexander Suvorov, Mikhail Speransky, Mikhail Lazarev, Nikolai Kamanin …

 

There are over three thousand historical and cultural monuments in the Vladimir Region. Ten masterpieces of the whitestone architecture are included into the UNESCO World Heritage List. Vladimir, Aleksandrov, Gorokhovets, Murom, Kirzhach, Suzdal and Yuryev-Polsky are worthily included into the list of 115 historical cities of Russia. But speaking about this wonderful land you can’t confine yourself only to its history. At present the Vladimir Region is one of the upswing and best economically developed areas of Central Russia.
