SoCultures November 2018
India & Russia
There is another story which goes like in the year 1967, an art historian and
journalist Yuri Bychkov thought of writing a series of travel articles and decided to
visit Vladimir Oblast...and as he travelled further his route looked like a Golden
Ring. And d later he published his works under the name “The Golden Ring.”
What’s so rich about these places?
Yaroslavl
A remarkable century old historic city with churches, museums, monastery and the
Volga! A riverside! There is a place called Strelka at the river junctions, where
river Volga meets Kotorosl river. The historic part of the city is located at this
confluence. A walk along the Volga is a cult
cultural
ural experience in itself.
There are many two-lane
lane highways roads that connect Yaroslavl to Moscow and
beyond and also there are areas where one finds coniferous forests around
Yaroslavl. Yaroslavl is full of beautiful places like churches, universities,
institutions, museums, like Transfiguration monastery founded in the 11 th century,
and a museum now, the Governor’s house museum, old citadels, Yaroslavl
paintings and so much more..
