Rzhev, Railroad town in Tver Oblast, Russia
The city spans across both banks of the upper Volga River, forming a key transportation junction between Moscow and Riga through railways and highways.
The first mention of Rzhev appeared in Novgorod chronicles in 1019, when the settlement served as a crossroads between three regional powers.
The Memorial to the Soviet Soldier, unveiled in 2020, stands 35 meters tall and commemorates the soldiers who perished during the Battle of Rzhev.
The city maintains railway connections with Moscow and Riga, while local buses provide transportation services throughout the Tver Oblast region.
The territory surrounding Rzhev contains numerous archaeological sites where researchers continue to discover artifacts from World War II battles.
