🔻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.
🔻What to see in Kostroma:
• Museum of Wooden Architecture
• The Resurrection Church on the Debra
• Sweets Museum Russkiye Slasti
• Monastery of st Ipaty
• Cheese Museum
• Terem Snegurochki
• Epiphany Monastery of St. Anastasia
• Ostrovsky's Pavilion
• Museum of Flax and Bark

[ ya stol'ka ni vypyu ]
Lirerally: I won't drink that much
Meaning:
The woman (or other issues) is so ugly/bad that even vodka won't help to forget about it.
Origin:
This famous Russian phrase comes from an old anecdote:
Two friends had a little drink, and one said:
- Now we’ll go to the girls, there’s one pretty there for me, and the other one is a little ugly, but you’ll drink a bit of vodka - and it will be fine.
- Fine. Let's go!
They arrived, the doorbell rang, and there were two women at the door. The second man looked at them...
- Oh, I won’t drink that much!
