Yaroslavl is one of the oldest towns of Russia founded in 1010. Interesting thing in 2020 - the town is founded in 1010 and now exactly 1010! It is located in 282km North-West from Moscow, Russia on the interstate Moscow-Arkhangelsk. Yaroslavl is founded by the great prince Yaroslav the Wise and used to be the biggest town on Volga and 2nd the most significant city in Russia. But turned into a province after Peter The Great began to develop Saint Petersburg. Nowadays, Yaroslavl is one of the strongest relatively provincial towns of Russia with a population of 608,000 residents. 25th biggest city of Russia.
