Великий Новгород / Veliki Novgorod: 1900s
Дореволюционная Россия на фотографиях - Великий Новгород
Here I present an album of photographs, taken in the late 19th century, of the ancient Russian city of Veliky Novgorod, also known as Novgorod the Great. Novgorod is among the oldest cities in Russia, being founded in the late 10th century. Known for the variety and age of its medieval monuments, at its peak during the 14th century, the city was one of Europe's largest.......although over a hundred years old, these photographs show that Novgorod has changed little over time and provide a fascinating insight into this historical city......

Roslavl
1900s
Roslavl is an ancient town in Smolsensk Province, Russia.
The town was founded in 1137 by the Smolensk prince Rostislav Mstislavitch, hence the name.
Roslavl was chartered under Lithuanian rule in 1408. Under Polish rule Roslavl was part of the Smolensk Voivodeship. In the 1667 truce of Andrusovo the town was ceded from Poland to the Russian Empire……

Pre-Revolutionary Russia in photographs - Tsaritsyn
Here I present an album of photographs of the Russian Imperial city of Tsaritsyn that lies on the River Volga. The city was renamed Stalingrad after Joseph Stalin on April 10, 1925. This was officially to recognize the city's and Stalin's role in its defense against the Whites between 1918 and 1920. Under Stalin, the city became a center of heavy industry and transshipment by rail and river.
The city became famous for its resistance — and the extensive physical damage and death toll it suffered — during the Battle of Stalingrad against the German Army in The Great Patriotic War.
In 1945 the Soviet Union awarded Stalingrad the title Hero City for its resistance. Great Britain's King George VI awarded the citizens of Stalingrad the jeweled Sword of Stalingrad in recognition of their bravery. In 1961, Nikita Khrushchev's administration changed the name of the city to Volgograd (Volga City) as part of his programme of de-Stalinization. Beginning in 2013, for nine days every year, the city may be officially referred to as Stalingrad.........
Today, the city has been entirely rebuilt with a fine promenade overlooking the River Volga, broad tree-lined avenues and a most remarkable memorial to the city's war-time resistance .
I like it a lot.

Старая Смоленская дорога
Один из самых старинных и знаменитых трактов России – Старая Смоленская дорога. Нам она давно не давала покоя. С одной стороны – там вдоль нее сплошная древность – 12-й век, 13-й. А с другой – сколько там войн по ней прокатилось, сколько армий прошло – видимо-невидимо. И хотелось посмотреть, что же на этом тракте уцелело и как сейчас выглядит.
