Yaroslavl history
According to chronicles, Yaroslavl is the oldest existing city on the Volga River. The legend of the foundation of the town says that in 1010, the future great Kiev prince Yaroslav Vladimirovich, being the prince of Rostov the Great, traveled through his land.
In the place where the Kotorosl River flows into the Volga River he encountered an unknown tribe of pagans, who let loose a fierce bear on him. The prince was not frightened and killed the bear with his poleaxe. Pagans were pacified and Yaroslav decided to found a town with a fortress on this place. The town was named Yaroslavl, in honor of its founder.
During the first two centuries of its existence, Yaroslavl remained a small border town of Rostov-Suzdal land. In the 12th-13th centuries, due to its favorable geographical position, Yaroslavl became one of the most developed towns in ancient Rus’, a major center of trade and crafts.
Yaroslavl became part of Grand Principality of Moscow in 1463. The town began to turn into the largest center of transit trade along the Volga after the Russian-British trade through Arkhangelsk was organized. It was one of the first towns in Ivan’s IV (Ivan the Terrible) oprichnina (a state policy that included institution of secret police, mass repressions and confiscation of land). The Great Massacre, carried out by oprichniki in Novgorod in 1570, forced a lot of Novgorod families, including merchants, to leave the devastated town and move to Yaroslavl.
In 1611, in the so-called Time of Troubles, locals joined the first people’s volunteer corps to liberate Moscow, captured by the Poles, but they were defeated. From April to June 1612, the second people’s volunteer corps under command of Minin and Pozharsky were stationed in Yaroslavl. The town played the role of capital. When the militia replenished with new strength, it finally freed Moscow. The young Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich, when called from Kostroma to Moscow, made a long stop at the Yaroslavl Spassky Monastery, where he signed a document of consent to ascend the throne. In memory of these events, Kazan monastery was founded.
Yaroslavl quickly recovered after the Time of Troubles. The town developed into a major commercial and craft center, the second largest Russian town. In the 17th century, Yaroslavl reached its peak. During this century, 3 monasteries and about 60 stone churches were built.
In connection with the reforms of Peter the Great, Yaroslavl lost its leading positions. Peter I did not want to trade through Arkhangelsk and the merchants living in the town were ruined. After St. Petersburg was built, Yaroslavl lost its importance as a trading center, but the local industry began to develop. After the formation of the Yaroslavl province (1719), Yaroslavl became an ordinary provincial center.
During the Russian-French War of 1812, Yaroslavl was a hospital center. Escape of the nobility from Moscow, captured by Napoleon, was reflected in the pages of the novel “War and Peace”. In 1812, the first bridge across the Kotorosl River was built. In 1860, there was a telegraph line with Moscow. Since 1870, the town had a direct rail link with Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kostroma. In 1913, a railway bridge across the Volga was opened.
In the beginning of the 20th century, the population of Yaroslavl was about 117,000. It was one of the largest cities of Central Russia with a considerably developed industry (textile, food-processing, chemical industries). Despite the industrial development Yaroslavl remained one of the most beautiful cities in the upper Volga. It was sometimes called “Russian Florence.”
The most devastating event in the recent history of Yaroslavl was the Civil War (July 1918). Artillery bombardments resulted in the deaths of people, fires, destruction of houses, industrial enterprises and historical monuments. By the mid-1920s, the city again had more than 100,000 inhabitants. In 1929, the Yaroslavl province was abolished. In 1936, the city became the capital of the newly established Yaroslavl region (oblast).
Synthetic Rubber Plant, built in 1932, was the world’s first synthetic rubber plant. In the 1940s, the Yaroslavl tire factory produced about 80% of all tires for vehicles in the USSR. During the Second World War, more than half a million residents of the Yaroslavl region were sent to the front, about 200,000 of them were killed. By the 1950s, the city became one of the largest industrial cities of the Soviet Union. In 1961, Novoyaroslavsky refinery was opened.
