Ryazan

The Oka River defines the setting of Ryazan — its broad floodplain and the nearby Trubezh waterway place the city in the river country of central Russia. Ryazan is the administrative centre of Ryazan Oblast and an established cultural centre southeast of Moscow. Until 1778, it was known as Pereyaslavl-Ryazansky, reflecting its link to the medieval Ryazan lands. The Ryazan Kremlin preserves the historic core, with the Assumption Cathedral standing as a major work of late-17th-century Russian church architecture. Poet Sergei Yesenin was born in nearby Konstantinovo. See how Ryazan connects with the Oka basin and Ryazan Oblast by browsing webcams nearby.
