history
The concept of the Golden Ring of Russia as a whole was proposed later, but the historical links between the various towns of the Golden Ring of Russia are inextricably linked. In the middle of the 9th century, part of the territory of today's Russia was once part of the state of old Russia, and scholars call it Kievan Rus. Many principalities formed it, such as the Principality of Yaroslavl, the Principality of Vladimir-Suzdal, the Principality of Rostov, and the Principality of Kostroma. Many cities in the Golden Circle are located in the aforementioned principalities.
In the first half of the 13th century, the Mongolian Golden Horde captured Kievan Rus. At this time, the various principalities suffered wars of varying degrees, and many cities were destroyed. For example, in the 13th century, Suzdal was destroyed and burned during the Tatar-Mongol invasion; in the early 14th century, Kostroma encountered a fire, and almost the entire city was razed to ruins.
