Architectural bouquet - a photo on Flickriver

            Uglich is a beautiful cozy Russian town in the Yaroslavl region, formed on the Volga River and included in the Golden Ring of Russia.
The 16th century is the date of one of the most dramatic events in Russia. The death of Tsarevich Dmitry happened. This was the reason for the formation of the Great Troubles. There are several opinions about the origin of the sonorous name. Most likely, it comes from the word "ugilets". This is the name of the right angle that the Volga River makes. If you believe the legend, the date of the foundation of the city is 937. The founder is a relative of Princess Olga, a prince from Pskov. The city is mentioned in the chronicle in 1148. In the 13th century, the settlement became the center of the appanage principality of the same name. Subsequently, the village was often destroyed. In 1328, thanks to Ivan Kalita, Uglich became part of the lands of Moscow.
The flourishing of the city began in 1642. This is the period of the reign of Prince Bolshoi. A large palace complex appeared on the territory. Chambers of appanage princes were built, which have been perfectly preserved to our time. In 1713, the Transfiguration Cathedral appeared. On the Volga coast, in tribute to the memory, the Church of Demetrius on the Blood was built.

In the photo on the right: the Resurrection Monastery, which may be the oldest in the Uglich land. The time and circumstances of its foundation are not known, but it could have been among the monasteries founded by the Uglich prince Roman Vladimirovich (1261-1285), who ruled the city in the second half of the 13th century. Together with Uglich, the monastery survived the Polish devastation. In terrible and dramatic events, many of the brethren and up to 500 of the townspeople who took refuge were killed. By the middle of the 17th century, the monastery was revived again. During the struggle against religion in Soviet times, the Resurrection Church was one of the first to be closed. In 1923 it was taken over by the museum. At this, the thread of the succession of times was broken, for a long period the spiritual ministry and its use for its intended purpose ceased. The construction of the Uglich hydroelectric power station, which began in 1936, the blasting operations carried out by Volgostroi, and the rise in the level of the Volga, further aggravated the condition of the monastery. The buildings were in critical condition in a short time. Fortunately, the interest in the monuments of Russian culture, awakened after the war, made it possible to stop the wave of destruction. By 1956 - 1971 the restoration of the monastery buildings belongs. Complex work was carried out to chemically strengthen the soil, which made it possible to eliminate the causes of the long-standing destruction. The modern stage in the history of the monastery began in 1999, when the monastery was transferred to the Russian Orthodox Church and the revival of its true purpose and monastic life began. In 2007-2008. a fence with towers was erected around the temples. So, gradually, through the efforts of monks and benefactors, the historical appearance and significance of the ancient monastery is being restored.

Near left: Church of the Nativity of John the Baptist. This church is rightfully one of the pearls of Uglich.
On a June day in 1663, Uglich was shocked by a tragic event - the young son of the richest Uglich merchant Nikifor Chepolosov disappeared. All searches were in vain, and the parents were desperate. Almost a month later, on July 2, the body of the murdered baby John was found under a layer of moss in a swamp. It turned out that the baby was killed by his clerk Fyodor Rudak, who harbored evil against the merchant. The inconsolable father decided to honor his son who died so tragically. For this, in 1689-1691. In the 1960s, restorers discovered an arkasolium (niche) where Vanya Chepolosov was buried in the north side-altar of the church.

And to the left in the distance are the blue domes of the Epiphany Monastery. He is not an ancient one. According to two existing versions, it was founded at the end of the 16th century by Maria Nagaya, mother of Tsarevich Dimitri and the last wife of Ivan the Terrible, or Ksenia Shestova (nun Martha), mother of the first tsar from the Romanov family, Mikhail Fedorovich. The cathedral, an example of the official Russian-Byzantine style, was erected in 1843-1853. designed by architect K. Ton. The construction of the cathedral, despite the apparent well-being of the monastery, became a real feat for the nuns. Erecting such a large building, they themselves made a brick, raised it on the walls, collected donations.
