List of Russian Cities Far and Near

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki






The List of Russian cities far and near is a chronicle register beginning with the words "А се имена всім градам рускым, далним и ближним" (And these are the names of all Russian cities, far and near). It was formerly known as the "список Воскресенського літопису" (first published in the XVI century). The oldest version of the memorandum is contained in the Novgorod Chronicle. The "List" dates back to 1370-90 and is associated with Cyprian, Metropolitan of Kiev. The "List", including territories of Ukraine (Ukrainian settlements are recorded in the memorandum in groups of Podolsk, подільських, Kiev, київських, Volynand, волинських, and Romanian, волоських, cities), is a valuable source for the study of Ukraine's national historical geography.

This article lists the names of Russian cities, sometimes with brief mentions of the presence of stone walls in them and on which river they stand. A total of 358 cities are mentioned in the List of Russian cities far and near. Based on the dates of the founding or disappearance of certain cities listed in the list, as well as their political division, modern researchers date the original data of the "List" to about 1375–1381. The list was compiled in order from south to north. The list also mentions some Bulgarian and Moldavian (Romanian) cities, which suggest either they were Russian cities, that Russian minorities inhabited them or perhaps that Old Russian was in use therein. Due to the uniqueness of the summary information contained in it, the "List" is a very valuable source in various historical, geographical and other studies.
