Dmitrov - a small county town in the Moscow region. Why did I call him, old-fashioned? So he stayed in this small district town. In the same, and how 100 or 20 years ago. This does not diminish the city, but it adds originality. At all, if you want to see the real Russia, then come exactly in this city - a small and rich in history. Such cities retain their way of life, its identity even in the most difficult times. People remember and store history, tradition and thus preserve the city.
What can you tell us about the city? Dmitrov - an ancient city and it is almost as old, how many and Moscow. It was founded by Yuri Dolgoruky in 1154 year and named after the son of Vsevolod the Big Nest. you say, but where does Vsevolod, if the city is called Dmitrov? The fact, that the baptism name was Dmitry Vsevolod. In those days, it was decided to have two names - one “private” name, and the other is the baptism.
The city is not just permitted, I changed the princes and 1334 the city became the center of an independent principality of Dmitrov. AT 13384 year Dmitrov Principality became part of Moscow. Since then the city and became a district or a district center of the Moscow State. And the city is experiencing a period of prosperity, when it was a center of trade and transit of goods, and decline periods, when its value falls and the inhabitants move to a more "lively" places. the city contributed to the decline of the action of Ivan the Terrible, when the last feudal prince Dimitrov was executed, and the city came in Oprichnina. After the death of the Terrible during the turmoil the city ravaged by the Poles - the wooden fortifications of the Dmitrov Kremlin were burned, and in the city to the 20 th year 17 century, just over 100 people inhabitants.
City in a few years began to revive, but never recovered until the middle 18 century, when, after the construction of St. Petersburg, Dmitrov again become a transit trade center on the supply lines of the new Russian state capital.
In the end 18 century became the center of Dmitrov Dmitrov district and receives its own coat of arms. This time can be called a "renaissance" of Dmitrov – the city built stone buildings, churches and public buildings. There is an official development plan. The city is developing at the expense of trade. Since the mid 18 century, after the start of construction of railways, town again fell into decay and only the construction of the road Moscow-city Savelova outputs from drowsiness. In the city there are industrial enterprises. At first 20 century, the city became an industrial center of Moscow Province, and then the field. AT 30 Dmitrov of the last century became the center of a grand building - Moscow-Volga Canal. AT 30 wives years in a growing number of industrial enterprises and the county of quiet garden, Dmitrov become an industrial center, that lasted until the early 90-ies, when the whole industry of the country began to decline, and enterprises to close one of the other. Construction stopped and looked, that life goes out of the city. But since the early 2000s, the city gradually began to recover. Gradually he began to equip with modern conveniences. The city has been a growth in the number of inhabitants and 2016 year in Dmitrov was more people live, than at the end of the Soviet era.
