🔢 Кострома
  [ kastrama ]

🔻The official founding year of the city is 1152 by Yury Dolgoruky. Since many scholars believe that early Eastern Slavs tribes arrived in modern-day Belarus, Ukraine and western Russia AD 400 to 600, Kostroma could be much older than previously thought.

🔻The city has the same name as the East Slavic goddess Kostroma.

🔻In 1773, Kostroma was devastated by a great fire. Afterwards the city was rebuilt with streets radiating from a single focal point near the river.

🔻The heroic peasant Иван Сусанин (Ivan Susanin) became a symbol of the city's resistance to foreign invaders of WW2.
