Shuya has relatives in Valdai

As Kirill Baldin noted, “slightly less ancient than Plyos and Yuryevets are cities in the Ivanovo region, founded during the Mongol-Tatar yoke: Shuya, Lukh, Kineshma.” You can add Gavrilov Posad to this list.

A number of historians claim that Shuya was mentioned in Russian chronicles already in 1393–1394 as a significant settlement in the Nizhny Novgorod principality. Although as a settlement, without a doubt, it arose much earlier. Perhaps Shuya was one of the fortified cities built in the 13th century on the orders of Grand Duke Yuri Vsevolodovich before the invasion of Batu.

The city is named after the Shuya River, which flows into the Teza. Shuya has several namesakes. These are rivers in the basin of Lake Onega, the White Sea, tributaries of the Orsha and Unzha. That's why the city also has namesakes. For example, the village of Shuya, Valdai district, Novgorod region. The name may come from the Finnish word "suo" (swamp, lake, marshy area). According to another version, less probable, the name goes back to the ancient Slavic “oshyu”, that is, “on the left”, “on the left hand” (in this case, “on the left bank”).”

Our Shuya was first mentioned as a city in 1539, and before that time it was known as Borisoglebskaya Sloboda (after the church of the noble princes Boris and Gleb). In general, little is known about the history of Shuya before the beginning of the 17th century. Among the main reasons are the loss of ancient documents of the city during the Time of Troubles, as well as the lack of large-scale archaeological research.

Interesting facts about Shuya

The earliest mention of Shuya is associated with Prince Vasily Kirdyapa, to whom it was given by the Moscow Prince Vasily Dmitrievich. Kirdyapa's son, Yuri, became the founder of the famous family of princes Shuisky. Tsar Vasily Ivanovich Shuisky (reigned 1606–1610) belonged to this family.

Among the crowned persons, Ivan the Terrible (during his campaign against Kazan in 1549) and Peter I (in 1722 on his way to the Persian campaign) visited Shuya. In 1729, the daughter of Peter I, Princess Elizabeth, lived in Shuya, who loved to hunt in the surrounding forests. In 1837, while traveling around Russia accompanied by the famous Russian poet Vasily Zhukovsky, the future Emperor Alexander II visited Shuya.

Yuryevets appeared thanks to a dream

Professor Kirill Baldin said: “The founding date of Yuryevets is often called 1225. Although it is not confirmed by documents, apparently, the city was founded precisely in the 13th century, by Prince Yuri, the third son of Vsevolod the Big Nest.” The fortress city defended the northeastern borders of Ancient Rus'. In addition, this is an ancient trading center at the intersection of the Volga trade route and the Great Post Road from the center of Russia to Siberia.

According to legend, Yuri Vsevolodovich, returning from his nephews, stopped to rest at the mouth of the Unzha River. During his sleep, he had a vision of the icon of St. George the Victorious on the mountain that stands on the opposite bank. Having woken up and crossed, the prince found the icon, and on this place he founded a city, calling it after his name and the saint Georgievsky or Yuryev-Povolsky (Povolzhsky). According to another version, the city was founded even earlier by another prince Yuri - Dolgoruky in 1150.

Now in Yuryevets you can see the well-preserved ramparts and ditches of his last fortress, called the Stone Town. But to this day, its other name lives on - the White City, although now no traces of the white walls and towers remain. Unfortunately, Georgievskaya Mountain, the site of the founding of the first fortress, has not survived to this day (it was demolished for the construction of a protective dam on the banks of the Volga).

Interesting facts about Yuryevets

In 1237, Yuryevets was burned by the hordes of Batu. In 1536–1537 the city was plundered by the Kazan Tatars. And in 1556 he was discharged by Ivan IV the Terrible to the oprichnina.

At the beginning of the 17th century, Yuryevets was repeatedly attacked by the Poles. In 1609, the local centurion Fyodor the Red led the local militia, which liberated Lukh, Shuya, and Kineshma from supporters of the impostor. In response, Pan Lisovsky burned the city, but the residents of the surrounding area bravely fought back, and help that came to them from Nizhny Novgorod along the Volga saved the situation. The townspeople joined the troops of Pozharsky and Minin passing through the city, but the liberation of Moscow in 1612 did not bring stability. In 1614, the Cossacks of Ivan Zarutsky again plundered and burned Yuryevets, although they were later defeated by the governor Boris Lykov.

Finnish trace in names

The starting point for our region as an administrative-territorial unit is the resolution of the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs of the RSFSR, which decided to form the Ivanovo-Voznesensk province, the successor of which was soon the Ivanovo region.
This historic resolution was adopted on June 20, 1918. The regional center also became a city relatively recently. Only in 1871, the village of Ivanovo and Voznesensky Posad, which appeared somewhat earlier through the merger of several settlements, were united into the city of Ivanovo-Voznesensk. And the capital of the region received its current, shortened name in 1932. Although, as the famous local historian Alexander Tikhomirov notes, Ivanov’s roots still go back centuries, as evidenced by many archaeological finds. However, in any case, Ivanovo is much younger than many of its neighbors.

Before the Slavic expansion, the Merya tribe, belonging to the Finno-Ugric group of peoples, lived on the territory of the Ivanovo region. According to a number of historians and local historians, other Finnish tribes also lived in the region: the Muroma (in the southeast: in the lower reaches of the Lukh and Teza rivers) and the Mari (in the east of the region). Around the 9th century, the colonization of the Upper Volga region began by the Novgorod Slavs from the north and the Krivichi from the west. Gradually the Slavs assimilated the Merians and related tribes. But the memory of them was preserved in the names of many cities, villages, rivers and lakes: Kokhma, Molokhta, Ukhtokhma, Mera, Unzha, Nyomda, Nodoga...
