🔴 Kostroma: an ancient city with a soul

The ancient streets that stretch along the Volga River have a special atmosphere, where you can feel how princes and merchants once walked here.

History of Kostroma

Kostroma was founded in 1152 by Prince Yuri Dolgoruky. Already in 1272, during the reign of Prince Vasily Yaroslavovich, it became the capital of Northeast Russia. This is the time of the region's prosperity, when majestic temples were built in the city, including the Uspensky Cathedral.

The city was destroyed more than once: first in 1213, when it was burned down by feuding princes, and then in the 13th century, when Batyi's troops destroyed Kostroma. However, each time, the city was restored. In 1272, under the reign of Vasily Yaroslavovich, Kostroma became an important political center.

🔴 How Buddhists meet Sagaalgan?

Just recently, on March 1 came Sagaalgan - a holiday that in Mongolian countries is called the "White Month". This day is not just another Saturday - it is the moment when a new cycle of life has begun, and everything on this day was dedicated to renewal, purification and, of course, fun.

The holiday coincides with the penultimate day of Maslenitsa, which in Russia is called "Zolovkin's Sitting". Young wives would prepare a festive dinner for their husbands' sisters to strengthen relations with their relatives. In Sagaalgan, too, it is customary to welcome guests with generous treats, but here it is not pancakes, but, for example, white milk food.

🔴 Port Baikal: a cozy settlement near Baikal with a rich history

The village of Port Baikal is a small but unusually picturesque place on the shore of the great Baikal. It is here that the Circum-Baikal railroad begins, and once powerful steamships and icebreakers stood here. Today the only reminder of the former greatness in this ancient village is the ferry that runs between Baikal Port and Listvyanka.
