History of Ryazan

Ryazan has a rich, full of historical events, past, which stretches from ancient times. Not every city in Russia can boast of such abundant genesis. The words “Ryazan” and “Ryazan” have already become synonymous with the indigenous inhabitants of Russia.

A report from the moment of “birth” of Ryazan has been going on since about the 11th century, just with the arrival of the East Slavic immigrants. At first it was called Muromo-Ryazan land, later from which the Ryazan principality stood out. But after the destruction of Old Ryazan (the capital) in 1237 by the Tatars-Mongols, as well as the subsequent invasions of nomads, its place in the principality was taken by Pereyaslavl-Ryazansky, which was founded, presumably, in 1095. (To be more precise, the first mention in the annals refers to the above date). In 1521, it became part of the Moscow state, and in 1708, in the Moscow province. But then it was renamed to Ryazan.

In the XVII-XVIII centuries, the territory of the state gradually expanded to the south and east. Ryazan Territory became the central province of the Russian Empire. Ryazan land consisted of a large number of cities, villages and villages. The historical and cultural center was the Kremlin, which is located on the northern border of the city.

They represented their image in their head, then embodied it materially. Artists in the Middle Ages invested in their product not only the soul, but also patience.

At that time, there was a unified system of communication in society, but the mentality of each professional group had its own specifics. The world view then was based on the fact that everything that the Most High created in the world has visible beauty. From here comes the pursuit of excellence. That is how the masterpieces of craft arose.
