[ yaraslavl' ]
🔻In the 9th century the so-called Russian Khaganate formed, near Yaroslavl, a large Scandinavian-Slavic settlement in Timerevo.
🔻When excavations were carried out, a large number of artifacts, including Scandinavian weapons with runic innoscriptions, chess pieces, and the largest collection of Arabian coins in northern Europe, were found.
In Timerevo the fourth set of Scandinavian brooches ever found in Russia was discovered.
🔻Based on its earliest date of foundation, Yaroslavl is the oldest of all the existing towns on the Volga.
🔻Yaroslavl was founded by Yaroslav the Wise, a prince of Kievan Rus', during the period of his ruling the Principality of Rostov (988—1010). The name of the city is traditionally linked to that of its founder: Yaroslav.

Literally: The cat has wept
Meaning:
A small amount of something, nothing to speak about, next to nothing, as scarce as hen's teeth
🔻The amount of something is equal to the number/volume of the cat's tears. A cat physically cannot cry, so it means 'so little that it’s almost nothing.'

[ kastrama ]
🔻The official founding year of the city is 1152 by Yury Dolgoruky. Since many scholars believe that early Eastern Slavs tribes arrived in modern-day Belarus, Ukraine and western Russia AD 400 to 600, Kostroma could be much older than previously thought.
🔻The city has the same name as the East Slavic goddess Kostroma.
🔻In 1773, Kostroma was devastated by a great fire. Afterwards the city was rebuilt with streets radiating from a single focal point near the river.
🔻The heroic peasant Иван Сусанин (Ivan Susanin) became a symbol of the city's resistance to foreign invaders of WW2.
🔻What to see in Kostroma:
• Museum of Wooden Architecture
• The Resurrection Church on the Debra
• Sweets Museum Russkiye Slasti
• Monastery of st Ipaty
• Cheese Museum
• Terem Snegurochki
• Epiphany Monastery of St. Anastasia
• Ostrovsky's Pavilion
• Museum of Flax and Bark
