History of Vladimir
Foundation of Vladimir
The first people began to settle in the territory of today’s Vladimir in the Paleolithic era, about 34 thousand years ago. In the 6th-7th centuries, the Volga-Finnish tribe of Merya settled here. In the 8th-10th centuries, on the hill where the Assumption Cathedral was later built, there had been a Meryan settlement. In the 9th-10th centuries, the Slavs began to settle here, in particular, the Krivichi.
There are two alternative years for the founding of Vladimir: 1108 and 990. In the Soviet period, the version was accepted that Vladimir had been founded by Prince Vladimir Monomakh around 1108. Accordingly, the 850th anniversary of the city was celebrated in 1958. In the 1990s, local historians, based on a number of chronicle sources, spoke in favor of another year of the city’s foundation — 990. And another Vladimir was named the founder of the city — Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich, also known as Vladimir the Great (Christianized the Kievan Rus in 988).
Vladimir grew thanks to the princes Vladimir Monomakh (1053-1125) and Yuri Dolgoruky (1090-1157), who strengthened it as a stronghold for the defense of the Rostov-Suzdal principality. Prince Andrey Bogolyubsky (1111-1174) transferred the capital of the principality to Vladimir in 1157. In this town, as the new capital of North-Eastern Russia, the Assumption Cathedral was erected in 1158-1160. The Golden Gate (built around 1164) became the key point of the town’s defense.
Under the successors of Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky, the town expanded greatly. In Vladimir and neighboring Suzdal, the Vladimir-Suzdal icon-painting school was formed; the town had its own chronicle. The Vladimir principality reached its highest power during the reign of Prince Vsevolod the Big Nest (1176-1212), when the Cathedral of Saint Demetrius (1194-1197) was built.
More Historical Facts…
Vladimir in the 13th-17th centuries
In 1238, during the Mongol invasion of Rus’ (1237-1240), Vladimir was taken after a short siege and plundered. The princes of Vladimir were recognized in the Golden Horde by their status as the chief and oldest in all of Rus’. Vladimir remained the capital of the Russian lands. The status of the town increased in 1299, when it became the residence of the Russian metropolitans.
At the beginning of the 14th century, a struggle for control over the Vladimir principality unfolded between Tver, Suzdal and Moscow. In 1325, under Grand Duke of Moscow Ivan Kalita, Metropolitan Peter moved from Vladimir to Moscow, which strengthened the Moscow principality as a contender for the unifier of the Russian lands.
Subsequently, the Moscow prince Dmitry Donskoy (1350-1389) managed to achieve recognition of his hereditary rights to Vladimir from all neighboring princes and the Golden Horde, which meant his recognition as the Grand Duke of Vladimir and Moscow. This meant the annexation of the Vladimir lands to the Moscow principality.
In 1382, Vladimir, like other towns of North-Eastern Rus’, suffered from the invasion of Khan Tokhtamysh of the Golden Horde. In 1395, during the military campaign of Timur against Tokhtamysh, the miraculous and especially revered icon of the Vladimir Mother of God was brought to Moscow from Vladimir to protect it from the conqueror. The fact that the troops of Timur, for no apparent reason, turned back near Yelets (about 400 km south of Moscow), was regarded as the intercession of the Mother of God and the icon was not returned to Vladimir.
With the growth of Moscow, Vladimir turned into an ordinary provincial town. In 1614, the population of the town was only about 600 people.
Vladimir in the 18th — early 20th centuries
Some economic and cultural upsurge of Vladimir began at the end of the 18th century, when it became the administrative center of the Vladimir Governorate. In 1784, the population of Vladimir was about 2,500 people. In November 1797, the first printing house in Vladimir was opened, in January 1834 — the first provincial public library, in 1847 — a drama theater, in 1862 — a provincial museum of local lore.
In 1838-1840, Alexander Herzen, “the father of Russian socialism”, was in exile in Vladimir. In 1861, Vladimir was connected to Moscow by railway (Moscow-Nizhny Novgorod railway). In 1858, a telegraph began to operate in the town, in 1866, the construction of a water supply was completed, and in 1887, a telephone connection was established. In 1908, the first power plant was put into operation.
According to the first all-Russian census of 1897, 28,479 people lived in Vladimir: Russians — 26,436, Poles — 736, Ukrainians — 488, Jews — 399. At the end of the 19th century, a Lutheran church and a Catholic church were built in Vladimir.
At the turn of the centuries, the Russian Revival style of Russian architecture spread in Vladimir, the most striking examples of which were the Church of the Archangel Michael (1893) and the building of the Vladimir Historical Museum (1903). In 1914, the population of Vladimir was 47,020 people.
In the first years of Soviet power, many streets of Vladimir were renamed, most of the churches were closed and demolished. Two decades before World War II were the time of accelerated industrialization and the transformation of the city into a large industrial center.
On January 14, 1929, during the territorial and administrative reform, Vladimir became part of the newly formed Ivanovo Industrial Oblast. On March 5, 1932, the plant “Khimplastmass” (the Vladimir Chemical Plant) began operation. In 1939, the population of Vladimir was 66,797 people.
Vladimir during and after World War II
During the Second World War, Vladimir was one of the largest evacuation centers in the European part of the USSR. In 1941-1945, there were 18 evacuation hospitals in the city. In the fall of 1941, a lot of refugees came to Vladimir from Moscow and the Moscow region; they were leaving to the east from the German offensive. On August 14, 1944, Vladimir again became the center of a separate region — Vladimir Oblast.
In the first post-war years, there were three camps and a hospital for prisoners of war in Vladimir. The largest of them was Camp #190, which also had branches in the towns and villages of the region. In 1946, there were about 10 thousand people in this camp. By 1949, all prisoners of war returned to Germany.
After the war, large enterprises of machine-building, metal-working, electrical, instrument-making, chemical, and light industries were built in the city. In August 1958, a solemn celebration of the 850th anniversary of Vladimir took place. By the end of the 1950s, the city’s population exceeded 150 thousand people.
In 1960, the construction of an arched reinforced concrete bridge was completed — the first permanent bridge across the Klyazma, which made it possible to start the construction of a residential district (Zagorodny Park) and a regional hospital center on the right bank of the river.
In the early 1970s, Vladimir became one of the centers of the Golden Ring of Russia — a well-known tourist theme-route uniting several old Russian cities. In 1980, the population of Vladimir exceeded 300 thousand people.

Vladimir — Features
In the past, such variants of the name of the city as Vladimir-on-Klyazma and Vladimir-Zalessky were also used in connection with the existence of the town of the same name in South-Western Rus’ (Vladimir-Volynsky in Volyn Oblast of today’s Ukraine).
Today’s coat of arms of Vladimir repeats its historical coat of arms with the following description: “In the red field, a lion standing on its hind legs with an iron crown on its head, holding a long silver cross in its front right paw.”
The oldest central part of Vladimir lies on the high left bank of the Klyazma River, on hills steeply descending to the river, separated by deep ravines. The Klyazma flows through the city for 2.5 km and another 5 km along the city border; the width of the river in Vladimir is about 130 m.
The climate in Vladimir is moderately continental. Winters are moderately cold, with alternating periods of frosts and thaws. Summers are warm, but relatively short, with occasional periods of extreme heat. The average temperature in January is minus 9.8 degrees Celsius, in July — plus 19.8 degrees Celsius.
Vladimir is an important industrial center of Central Russia. Large enterprises of machine-building, metal-working, electrical, instrument-making, chemical, light and food industries, and the construction industry operate in the city.
Public transport is represented by trolleybuses and buses. There are regular buses running from Vladimir to all district centers of Vladimir Oblast, as well as to Moscow, Ivanovo, Kostroma, Nizhny Novgorod, Ryazan, Yaroslavl, and other cities. Vladimir is connected by railway with Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod.
First and foremost Vladimir is a city-museum with unique historical and architectural monuments — three white-stone monuments of pre-Mongol architecture, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the object “The white-stone monuments of Vladimir and Suzdal”. These are the Assumption Cathedral (1158-1189), Dmitrievsky Cathedral (1194-1197), and the Golden Gate (1158-1164).
In comparison with other cities of the “Golden Ring”, churches of the 17th-18th centuries in Vladimir are not so numerous. In architectural terms, the most interesting are the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (1649), Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker (1732-1735), and Church of the Beheading of John the Baptist (1762-1765), commonly known as Nikitskaya Church.
The pseudo-Gothic Catholic Church of St. Rosary, built in 1894, is worth mentioning among the monuments of the late 19th century. In total, there are more than 200 state-protected buildings of the 18th-19th centuries in Vladimir. After 1917, the historic city center was almost completely rebuilt.
Walking is the easiest and most comfortable way to explore Vladimir. Its compact historic center can be walked through in about 30-40 minutes. Souvenirs can be bought in one of the shops of the Trading Rows (Bolshaya Moskovskaya Street, 19), as well as from the stalls at the Golden Gate or the Dmitrievsky Cathedral. For authentic gifts, you should visit the shop at the Museum of Crystal and Lacquer Miniatures in the Trinity Church (Dvoryanskaya Street, 2).
You can buy souvenirs with images of Vladimir architectural monuments (plates, boxes, paintings, etc.), Pokrovsky gingerbread, Mstersk lacquer miniature, crystal from Gus-Khrustalny. Such birch bark products as boxes and sandals (lapti) are also popular, as well as all kinds of scarves, towels, patchwork, and stone jewelry.
Main Attractions of Vladimir
The Golden Gate (1158-1164) — one of the main symbols of Vladimir, the only one of the surviving gates in the earthen rampart that encircled old Vladimir. In the 12th century, this gate served as the main entrance for the prince and his retinue to the central part of the town. The Golden Gate got its name because in the past the gates were sheathed with gilded copper sheets. At the top of the structure there is a small chapel.
This unique example of the architecture of Kievan Rus’ is included in the program of sightseeing tours around Vladimir. In the upper part of the building, there is a military-historical exposition with weapons and military equipment from different times. Bolshaya Moskovskaya Street, 1a.
Holy Assumption Cathedral (1158-1189) — the main Orthodox church of Vladimir, an outstanding monument of the white-stone architecture of pre-Mongol Rus’. Historically, before the rise of Moscow, it was the main church of Vladimir-Suzdal Rus’ and served as a model for a number of later cathedrals, including the Assumption Cathedral in the Moscow Kremlin. It is one of the few churches in which the original frescoes by Andrei Rublev have survived. Bolshaya Moskovskaya Street, 56.
Cathedral of Saint Demetrius (1194-1197) — one of the greatest monuments of Russian church architecture of the pre-Mongol period, an excellent example of a white-stone church of the Vladimir-Suzdal architectural school.

On the top floor of the former water tower there is a great observation deck, from where almost all the main sights of Vladimir are perfectly visible. Kozlov Tupik Street, 14.
Church of the Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary (1892-1894) — one of the most beautiful buildings in Vladimir, a majestic Catholic church built in the style of red-brick neo-Gothic. It was built due to the fact that there were quite a lot of exiled Poles and Lithuanians in Vladimir by the end of the 19th century. Divine services in Russian and concerts of organ music are held here, which everyone can enjoy. Gogolya Street, 12.
The Ferris Wheel “Sky 33” — one of the largest Ferris wheels in Russia with a height of 50 meters. From the top point, you can see up to 70% of the territory of Vladimir.

Vladimir (Russian: Влади́мир, IPA: [vlɐ’dʲimʲɪr] (
listen)) is a city and the administrative center of Vladimir Oblast, Russia, located on the Klyazma River, 200 kilometers (120 mi) east of Moscow. It is served by a railway and the M7 motorway. Population: 349,951 (2021 Census);[12] 345,373 (2010 Census);[7] 315,954 (2002 Census);[13] 349,702 (1989 Census).[14]
History[edit]
Vladimir was one of the medieval capitals of Russia, with significant buildings surviving from the 12th century. Two of its Russian Orthodox cathedrals, a monastery, and associated buildings have been designated as among the White Monuments of Vladimir and Suzdal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the past, the city was also known as Vladimir-on-Klyazma (Владимир-на-Клязьме)[15] and Vladimir-Zalessky (Владимир-Залесский), to distinguish it from another Vladimir in Volhynia (modern Ukraine).
Foundation[edit]
The founding date of Vladimir is disputed between 990 and 1108. In the Novgorod First Chronicle, Vladimir is mentioned under the year 1108, and during the Soviet period, this year was decreed to be its foundation year with the view that attributes the founding of the city, and its name, to Vladimir Monomakh, who inherited the region as part of the Rostov-Suzdal Principality in 1093.[16] It is named there as Volodimer.[17] The chronicles also describe how inhabitants from neighbouring towns, namely Suzdal and Rostov, alluded to Vladimir as a young town.[18] Accordingly, the 850th anniversary of the city foundation was celebrated in 1958, with many monuments from the celebrations adorning the city; this enabled Nikita Khrushchev, who recently took power in the Soviet Union, to link his administration with early Russian history.
In the 1990s, a new opinion developed that the city was instead founded in 990 by Vladimir the Great, with local historians supporting the alternative foundation date and citing various chronicle sources.[19][20] Scholars reinterpreted certain passages in the Hypatian Codex, which mentions that the region was visited by Vladimir the Great, the «father» of Russian Orthodoxy, in 990, so as to move the city foundation date to that year. The Charter of Vladimir, the basic law of the city passed in 2005, explicitly mentions 990 as the date of the city’s foundation.[21][22] The city administration officially recognizes 990 as the foundation date.[23]
Vladimir-Suzdal[edit]
The city’s most historically significant events occurred after the turn of the 12th century. Serving its original purpose as a defensive outpost for the Rostov-Suzdal Principality, Vladimir had little political or military influence throughout the reign of Vladimir Monomakh (1113–1125), or his son Yury Dolgoruky («Far-Reaching») (1154–1157).
St. Demetrius’ Cathedral, shown on this 2017 photo, is famous for its masterfully carved exterior, representing the Biblical story of King David.
Under Dolgoruky’s son, Andrey Bogolyubsky (1157–1175) (also known as Andrew the Pious), the city became the center of the Vladimir-Suzdal Principality. It had a Golden Age, which lasted until the Mongol invasion of Rus’ in 1237. During this time, Vladimir enjoyed immense growth and prosperity. Andrey oversaw the building of the city’s Golden Gates and the Dormition Cathedral. In 1164, Andrey attempted to establish a new metropolitanate in Vladimir, separate from that of Kiev. He was rebuffed by the Patriarch of Constantinople.[24]
Scores of Russian, German, and Georgian masons worked on Vladimir’s white stone cathedrals, monastery, towers, and palaces. Unlike any other northern buildings, their exterior was elaborately carved with high relief stone sculptures. Only three of these edifices stand today: the Dormition Cathedral, the Cathedral of Saint Demetrius, and the Golden Gate. They are included among the White Monuments of Vladimir and Suzdal, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
During Andrey’s reign, a royal palace in Bogolyubovo was built, as well as the world-famous Church of the Intercession on the Nerl, now considered one of the jewels of ancient Russian architecture. Andrey was assassinated at his palace at Bogolyubovo in 1175.
Drawing of Mongols of the Golden Horde outside Vladimir presumably demanding submission before sacking the city
Vladimir was besieged by the Mongol-Tatars of the Golden Horde under Batu Khan. It was finally overrun on February 8, 1238. A great fire destroyed thirty-two limestone buildings on the first day alone, while the grand prince’s family perished in a church where they sought refuge from the flames. The grand prince escaped, but was killed at the Battle of the Sit River the following month.
Grand Duchy of Moscow[edit]
After the Mongols, Vladimir never fully recovered. The most important Rus prince (usually the Prince of Moscow, but sometimes a Tver or another principality) was styled the Grand Prince of Vladimir, but the title had become an honorific symbol of majesty. From 1299 to 1325, the city was seat of the metropolitans of Kiev and All Rus’, until Metropolitan Peter moved the See to Moscow in 1325.
The Grand Princes of Vladimir were originally crowned in Vladimir’s Assumption Cathedral, but when Moscow superseded Vladimir in the 14th Century as the seat of the Grand Prince, the Assumption Cathedral in the Moscow Kremlin became the site of their coronation. The Moscow cathedral was loosely copied by the Italian architect Aristotele Fioravanti from Vladimir’s original.
After the rise of Moscow, Grand Princes of Moscow continued to build several new churches in Vladimir. Notable examples include the Annunciation Church at Snovitsy (ca. 1501), three kilometers northwest of the city, and a church in the Knyaginin Nunnery (ca. 1505), which today includes murals dating from 1648.
Imperial Russia[edit]
A view of Vladimir in 1911
Remains of the prince-saint Alexander Nevsky were kept in the ancient Nativity Abbey of Vladimir until 1703, when Peter the Great had them transferred to the Monastery (now Lavra) of Alexander Nevsky in St. Petersburg. The Nativity Church (built from 1191 to 1196) collapsed several years later, after workmen tried to fashion more windows in its walls in an effort to brighten the interior.
The city was the center of Vladimir Province [ru], part of Moscow Governorate from its establishment by Peter the Great in 1708. Vladimir was separated from Moscow Governorate and made the center of a new Vladimir Viceroyalty [ru] by a ukase of Catherine the Great in 1778. In 1796, Paul I’s administrative reform transformed the viceroyalty into the Vladimir Governorate [ru] in the same borders.
In the years 1838-1840, Alexander Herzen was exiled in Vladimir, passing through the city on the infamous Vladimirka.
In December 1858 the city began to operate telegraph. On June 14, 1861,[25] the Moscow–Nizhny Novgorod Railway [ru] began to operate through Vladimir. In 1866, construction of a running water supply was completed, with telephone lines being put up in 1887 and the first electrical power lines on December 5, 1908.
In November 29, 1898 Vladimir provincial scientific archival commission was established.
Soviet Union[edit]
After the establishment of Soviet power, many streets were renamed in Vladimir; most of the parish churches were closed and condemned to be demolished.
In the first decades of Soviet rule industrialization occurred in Vladimir. On January 14, 1929, the Vladimir Governorate was abolished and the city became part of the newly formed Ivanovo Industrial Oblast.
On August 14, 1944, Vladimir became the administrative center of a new Vladimir Oblast carved from Ivanovo Oblast. In 1950 from the basis of the teachers’ institute the Vladimir Pedagogical Institute was created. On November 5, 1952 the first trolleybus line began to operate in the city.
In 1958 the Vladimir–Suzdal Museum and Reserve [ru] was created, composed of a group of unique architectural monuments of Russian defense and church architecture. The monuments are located in three cities—Vladimir, Suzdal and Gus-Khrustalny—as well as villages of Bogolyubovo and Kideksha.
Architecture of the Soviet period is represented by such structures as building complexes and polytechnic colleges, the Torpedo Stadium (built 1952), a reinforced concrete arch bridge over the river Klyaz’ma (1960), the Hotel Vladimir (1956), the Drama Theatre (1971) and others. In 1971 the city was awarded the Order of Red Banner of Labor.

Vladimir is the administrative center of the oblast.[2] Within the framework of administrative divisions, it is, together with seventeen rural localities, incorporated as the City of Vladimir—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.[2] As a municipal division, the City of Vladimir is incorporated as Vladimir Urban Okrug.[9]
Economy and military[edit]
Vladimir is home to several electrical and chemical factories, several food processing plants and two large thermal power stations. Tourism related to the historical sites is a major contributor to the city economy.

Since 1861, there has been a railway connection between Vladimir and Moscow.[26] Vladimir is also linked to Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod by the M7 highway. Local transport includes buses, trolleybuses, fixed-route minivans, and taxis.
Vladimir bus service links the city to all the district centers of Vladimir Oblast, as well as Moscow, Ivanovo, Kostroma, Nizhny Novgorod, Ryazan, Yaroslavl and other cities.
At least 20 pairs of long-distance trains pass daily through Vladimir station, giving Vladimir year-round direct rail links to Moscow (Kursk Station), St. Petersburg and Nizhny Novgorod.

Sightseeing[edit]
Modern Vladimir is a part of the Golden Ring of ancient Russian cities and a popular tourist destination. Its three chief monuments, White Monuments of Vladimir and Suzdal, inscribed by UNESCO on the World Heritage List, are the following:
- The magnificent five-domed Dormition Cathedral was designed as the burial place of grand princes and dedicated to the holy icon the Theotokos of Vladimir, which had been brought to the city by Andrey Bogolyubsky. The cathedral was constructed in 1158–1160, expanded in 1185–1189, and painted by the great Andrei Rublev and Daniil Chyorny in 1408. In 1810, a lofty bell-tower was added in Neoclassical style.
- The helmet-domed Cathedral of Saint Demetrius was built in 1194–1197 as a private chapel of Vsevolod the Big Nest in the courtyard of his palace and was consecrated to his holy patron, St. Demetrius. For all its formal unity, the cathedral represents an international project of Russian and Byzantine masters, Friedrich Barbarossa’s masons, and carvers sent by Queen Tamar of Georgia.
- The Golden Gate, originally a tower over the city’s main gate, was built in 1158–1164. The gate acquired its present form after having been reconstructed in the late 18th century, to prevent the dilapidated structure from tumbling down.
Other remarkable monuments of pre-Mongol Russian architecture are scattered in the vicinity. For more information on them, see Suzdal, Yuriev-Polsky, Bogolyubovo, and Kideksha.

HISTORY OF THE COAT OF ARMS The coat of arms of Vladimir is a historical and cultural monument with ancient historical roots. Back in the XII century, the image of a leopard beast was a patrimonial mark of the Vladimir princes, an attribute of a strong power capable of overcoming the feudal fragmentation of Russia. Since the 17th century, the coat of arms of Vladimir has been a symbol of urban sovereignty, an indicator of the development of urban organization. The Great State Book of 1672 «Titular» contains the first description of the coat of arms of the city of Vladimir.
