History of Vologda
https://rusmania.com
12th and 13th Centuries
Foundation
Depiction of St Gerasim of Vologda
Vologda is traditionally considered to have been founded in 1147. Such date is based on the Tale of the Miracles of St Gerasim of Vologda. According to the tale, the monk Gerasim founded the Troitsky Monastery on the River Vologda. However this source, which itself dates from the mid-15th century, has been questioned and some experts believe the city was founded later in the 13th century. The first contemporary mention of Vologda came in 1264 when it was included on a list of territories of the Novgorod Republic. In 1273 the city was sacked by the forces of Prince Svyatoslav Yaroslavich of Tver during his campaign against the Novgorod Republic.

The Vologda Region is changing the orientation of commercial interests from the West towards Asia. The “soft power” strategy used in Russia helps, on the one hand, to establish new ties with new partners, and on the other hand, not to completely burn the old bridges and to maintain cultural ties and good relations which Europe also needs. Inna Sinyagina, the head of the Governor’s Administrative Office is sure of it.
