Ryazan Oblast, Administrative region in Central Russia.
The territory spans across 39,600 square kilometers of mixed forests, plains, and agricultural lands between Moscow and the Central Russian Upland.
The region emerged from the ancient Principality of Ryazan, which defended Russian lands against Mongol invasions until its incorporation into Moscow state in 1521.
The region maintains 1,200 architectural monuments and 2,200 archaeological sites, including the Ryazan Kremlin and multiple Orthodox monasteries across its territory.
The oblast connects to Moscow through multiple transportation routes, with agriculture and industrial manufacturing forming the backbone of its economic activities.
The northern Meshchera Lowlands contain extensive reed and grass marshes, while the southern areas feature fertile black earth suitable for grain production.
