Yaroslavl 1000 Years [03:55]
Yaroslavl is the Administrative Center of Yaroslavl Oblast and one of Russia's Oldest City. The Year 2010 Yaroslavl Celebrated its 1000th Founding. The City is an Important Historical ( UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE CITY ) and Industrial Center. The City was once the De Facto Capital of Russia during the times of troubles that preceded until the 18th Century. During its 1000-year history Yaroslavl has been one of the strongholds of the Russian statehood. The rulers of Russia, the Ryurikovichs and the Romanovs reigning dynasties, and later the Soviet leaders attached great importance to the city. The very fact of the city foundation was the act of independent political will of the young Prince Yaroslav (the Wise) when he established a fortress on the Volga River to provide security of the northeastern boundaries of ancient Russia. During subsequent centuries the city was involved into all dramatic events of the Russian history. Yaroslavl became the first faithful ally of Moscow in bringing the Russian lands together under the patronage of the ancient capital. The Yaroslavl principality was among the first ones to enter the Moscow State voluntarily. City Population (2010) : 610900 Ethnic Groups: Russian, Ukrainian, Belorussian, Tatars
