Murom played a significant role in the history of Russia. Today it is a historical city, relatively small, but insanely beautiful and literally thoroughly saturated with antiquity. Although why small? More than a hundred thousand people call Moore his home, which means that it is larger than most European cities, and even larger than some world capitals.
One of the local attractions is a monument to Ilya Muromets, the legendary hero and hero of numerous epics and fairy tales. Known to most Russians, the film “Man from the Capuchin Boulevard” was filmed here. Although it’s impossible to guess about it in the video sequence. The inventor of television V.K. Zvorykin was born in Murom. True, most of his inventions came during the period of his life when he already immigrated to the United States. Once upon a time, the Principality of Murom existed in the 12-14 centuries. Later, the role of the city weakened, and he went to the Vladimir principality, and later to Moscow. The ancient Murom Kremlin has not survived to this day. It was built of wood, which did not stop him from standing for about two centuries. But by that time, the country’s borders had pushed back, and the Kremlin had lost its defensive significance. As a result, by order of Catherine II, it was simply dismantled, thereby destroying the invaluable historical heritage.
The Murom coat of arms depicts a kalach. And all because in the 15-16 centuries the Muromians mastered a new baking technology, which made the Kalachi produced by local bakers very tasty, which made the city famous. When Ivan IV the Terrible decided to conquer the Kazan Khanate, troops sent to the east, gathered precisely in Murom. Until now, no one really knows why the city is so called. The most popular theory is that it was founded by a tribe called Murom. Ryazan lands were once part of the Principality of Murom. Murom is one of the most ancient Russian cities. He is much older than Moscow.
