Skopin, Administrative center in Ryazan Oblast, Russia.
The town of Skopin stands on the Vyorda River, positioned 109 kilometers southwest of Ryazan at an elevation of 150 meters above sea level.
In 1597, Russian authorities constructed a wooden fortress at the current location of Skopin as part of the defense system for the Grand Duchy of Moscow.
The community maintains a specialized museum showcasing local ceramic crafts, which developed due to the presence of fire clay deposits in the region.
The town functions as both an administrative center for Skopinsky District and a separate town of oblast significance, maintaining independent municipal governance.
Brown coal mining operations continued in the outskirts of Skopin from the mid-19th century until 1989, shaping the industrial character of the area.
