Ryazan Oblast

The terrain of Ryazan Oblast ranges from the flat, pine- and birch-forested Meshchera Lowland in the north to rolling forest-steppe plains in the south, creating a region of wide horizons and river-fed lowlands. The Oka, one of European Russia’s major rivers, crosses the oblast and has long linked its settlements with the Volga basin. Ryazan, the administrative centre, stands on the Oka and is known for the Ryazan Kremlin, whose cathedral ensemble remains the city’s defining historic landmark. Away from the capital, woodlands, meadows and cultivated fields give the oblast a distinctly central-Russian character.
