Capital of Russia
Vladimir in the era of the Russian Empire
The inventories of the city of Vladimir of the 17th century and the beginning of the 18th century that have survived to this day testify that the city was then very poor and poorly populated. So in 1626, there were only 340 people fit for military affairs in Vladimir, of whom - posadskys - 128, household servants - 62, peasants - 50; 10 years later, in 1635, the population increased slightly: there were already 184 townspeople, 100 household servants. Judging by the inventory, the city retained its ancient structure and was still divided into three parts: the Kremlin or a non-black city, an earthen city, and a dilapidated city.

Vladimir is an old Russian city located on the high left bank of the Klyazma River. In former times, the city had the name Vladimir-on-Klyazma, it was also called Vladimir-Zalessky, since in relation to Kiev it was located behind dense forests.
The name of two words was explained by the fact that at that time there was a city of Volodymyr-Volynsky in the South-West of Russia on the Luga River, now it is the territory of the Volyn region in Ukraine.
Unlike Vladimir-on-Klyazma, the name of the city of Vladimir-Volynsky was officially fixed.
Vladimir-on-Klyazma became famous for the fact that in the XII-XIII centuries it was the capital of northeastern Russia. The city is located on a triangular promontory, in the place where the Lybed River flows into the Klyazma.
The history of the formation of Vladimir-on-Klyazma
The first sites in this area appeared around 30-25 thousand years BC. e, later the Volga-Finnish tribes and the Finno-Ugric tribe Merya settled here. The Slavs settled in this region in the 9th-10th centuries.
In the second half of the 11th century, the Rostov-Suzdal lands passed to the son of Yaroslav the Wise, Vsevolod, and then to the eldest son of Vsevolod, Vladimir Monomakh.
- Vladimir Monomakh in 1108 on the site of one of the settlements, located on a steep hill on the banks of the Klyazma, founded the city of Vladimir, which became the capital of North-Eastern Russia and was of great importance in the development of the history and culture of Russia. This is the traditional version of the founding of the city
- In the 1990s, Vladimir local historians, based on the study of several ancient chronicles, came to the conclusion that the city was founded earlier - in 990 by Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavovich, during which the baptism of Russia took place and who was called the Red Sun.
Thanks to the efforts of Vladimir Monomakh, the city was fortified and became a stronghold for the defense of the Rostov-Suzdal principality.
The first fortress was built on a steep hill surrounded by the rivers Klyazma, Lybid and deep ravines. Where there were no natural barriers, deep ditches were dug. The fortifications stretched for two and a half kilometers, they were earthen ramparts, wooden walls and towers. Under Monomakh, the first stone church in the name of the Savior was built.
Later, under Yuri Dolgoruk, the youngest son of Vladimir Monomakh, a stone church was built in the name of the Holy Great Martyr George the Victorious, the heavenly patron of Prince Yuri Vladimirovich. Both of these churches have not survived.
Vladimir-on-Klyazma - the capital of the principality
In 1157, after the death of Yuri Dolgorukov, his son Andrei Bogolyubsky became the Vladimir-Suzdal prince and transferred the capital of North-Eastern Russia to Vladimir.
Under Prince Andrew Bogolyubsky in 1158-1160, the white-stone Assumption Cathedral was erected.
Vladimir was built up, in its western part there was a so-called New town... To protect him, Prince Andrew erected additional defensive structures. The new city was surrounded by fortifications in the form of ramparts about 9 meters high, on which wooden walls and four gate towers were erected. The wooden towers were called "Volzhsky", "Irinins" and "Copper".
For the main entrance to the ancient city from the west, from the direction of Moscow, a ceremonial white-stone Golden Gate with a gateway church of the Position of the Robe of the Most Holy Theotokos was erected. To enter Vladimir from the east, at the bridge over the Lybed River, on the road to Nizhny Novgorod, Suzdal and the princely castle in Bogolyubovo, the Silver Gate was installed. The path to the craft settlements led through the Copper Gate. Yes, only the Golden Gate has survived to this day.
Golden Gate
The golden gate was distinguished by its height, slender proportions and rich decoration. The huge oak leaves of the gate were covered with gilded bronze sheets, thanks to which the gate got its name. The wooden walls of the New Town fortress adjoined the gate.
According to legend, Prince Andrew, who sincerely loved the city, wanted to please the townspeople and open the Golden Gate on the feast of the Assumption of the Most Holy Theotokos. The builders did not wait for the shrinkage of the building and immediately after the completion of the masonry they hung the gate. As a result, the sash fell and crushed 12 townspeople.
Then the prince turned with a prayer to the Queen of Heaven, asking her to save the victims: "If you do not save these people, I, a sinner, will be guilty of their death." Andrey's plea was heard and a miracle happened: when the gates were raised, it turned out that all the people crushed by them remained alive and unharmed.
After the assassination of Andrei Bogolyubsky in 1174, his younger brother Vsevolod the Big Nest, who was also called Vsevolod III, occupied the grand ducal table.
Vladimir-on-Klyazma atVsevolode Big Nest
Vsevolod the Big Nest, baptized with the name of Dmitry Solunsky, was one of the most powerful Russian princes. It was he who became the first to be given the title "great", which later became entrenched in the Vladimir princes. During the reign of Vsevolod the Big Nest, the city reached its greatest prosperity.
- In 1194-1196, white-stone fortifications of the Vladimir Detinets were erected, which has a gate resembling the Golden Gate
- The Rozhdestvensky monastery with a white-stone church was also built, where in 1263 the outstanding commander Alexander Yaroslavich Nevsky was buried. Later, his holy relics were transferred to the Alexander Nevsky Monastery in St. Petersburg
- In the name of the heavenly patron of the prince, the great martyr Demetrius of Thessaloniki, the white-stone Dmitrovsky Cathedral was built. Small in size, decorated with beautiful stone carvings, the temple is distinguished by its slenderness and grandeur.
After the death of Vsevolod III in 1212, the Vladimir principality was no longer united, it was divided into the inheritance of the prince's sons, in connection with which discord began among the representatives of the Vladimir dynasty.
But even during this difficult time, new temples were built in the city. The capital of North-Eastern Russia was a beautiful city, consisting of three parts, each of which was separated from the other by fortress walls.
In its central part, in the Middle City, there was a stone detinets, and behind its wall there were stone temples. Outside Detinets, the Church of the Exaltation was built, and in the New Town - the female Assumption Knyaginin Monastery. The length of the walls and ramparts of the city was about 7 kilometers.
The capture of Vladimir-on-Klyazma by the Mongol-Tatars
In the winter of 1237-1238, the Mongol-Tatars attacked Russia. Ryazan and Moscow, Kolomna and other cities became their victims. In February 1238, their hordes approached Vladimir. At this time, Prince Georgy Vsevolodovich was not in the city, he went north, to the banks of the Sit River, to gather an army.
The defense of the city was led by his sons - Vsevolod and Mstislav, who decided to fight to the end and it is better to die in front of the Golden Gate for the Holy Mother of God than to surrender to the enemy. The city put up a fierce resistance to the Mongols, this was written not only by Russian chroniclers, but also by Eastern authors.
The enemies could not take the fortress by storm, and then using battering guns, they broke through the fortress wall in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Savior and entered the city. The captured defenders of Vladimir were brutally destroyed, and there was no exception for princes and nobility.
An important historical event was the move in 1325 from Vladimir to Moscow, Metropolitan Peter. At the same time, Dmitry Donskoy achieved the recognition of hereditary rights to Vladimir from all neighboring princes and the Horde, which meant the merger of the Moscow and Vladimir principalities.
Vladimir is gradually losing its significance. In the XIV-XV centuries, the most revered icons were exported from his cathedrals to Moscow - the image of the Mother of God of Vladimir and the image of the holy great martyr Demetrius of Thessaloniki.
Since the overthrow of the Mongol-Tatar yoke at the end of the 15th century, Vladimir has ceased to stand out from a number of other cities in Central Russia. And the memory of the great principality is often associated with the unpleasant fact of the dependence of the Russian princes on the Golden Horde khans, who issued permission to reign.
Vladimir-on-Klyazma is the capital of Russia in the XII-XIII centuries, a city famous for its historical and architectural monuments, many of which were built, suffered from fires and robberies, and then were restored again, reminding us of what Vladimir was like for 800 years back.
