Yuryevets, Old town on Volga River, Ivanovo Oblast, Russia
Yuryevets sits where the Unzha and Volga Rivers meet in Ivanovo Oblast. The town spreads across a wide area and forms part of the local river landscape.
Prince Yury II founded the settlement in 1225 as Yuryev-Povolzhsky. A century later, Khan Batu's forces destroyed it during their military campaign.
The town has ties to notable Russian figures: filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky spent his childhood here, and the Vesnin brothers left their architectural mark on its streets. These connections shape how locals view their place today.
The town sits several hundred kilometers southeast of Moscow and is reachable by train or car. Local accommodation options are available, making a visit straightforward without extensive advance planning.
After growing steadily for centuries, the town experienced a sharp reversal after the Soviet period ended. It is now noticeably smaller than it was just decades ago, marking a dramatic shift in its modern story.
