in ancient times , slavic tribes came to lake ilmen in the ninth century , the residence of the first russian princes arose here in the 12th century, the novgorod in a republic where the people's self-government played a leading role, the state of freedom-loving novgorodians was one of the largest rivers in europe, the volkhov, the main water artery of the medieval trade route from the varangians to the greeks, provided the inhabitants of novgorod land with wealth and prosperity. novgorod often had to defend itself from enemies with this land, the name of the wise rulers of the commander of the holy prince alexander nevsky is associated in 1478. the novgorod freemen became part of the unified russian

state, the novgorod region is located in north-west. the european part of russia from moscow to the center of the veliky novgorod region is about 600 km by rail, it takes 8.5 hours by train. can you get to the city by bus or by car? the official date of the emergence of veliky novgorod is 859. now it is a real reserve for everyone who is interested in the history and culture of russia . novgorod is the oldest orthodox church on the territory of russia

; it has retained its early forms, the oldest defensive fortifications of veliky novgorod vau and the moat. the roundabout city was built in the xv centuries until the middle of the xx century. the city almost did not grow beyond their borders. novgorod detinets was the name of the medieval inhabitants of their fortress, in comparison with the ramparts. with weapons later. in its modern form, it appeared after the annexation of novgorod land to moscow at its core - this is a fortress at the end of the very end of the 15th century, ivan iii, having annexed novgorod , decided to radically rebuild the novgorod fortress, that is, in fact, it was rebuilt, but on the same basis it was still the layout of toyota the fortress now belongs to such a late heart, well, in novgorod detinets, its appearance stands out quite strongly against the background of the e fortresses of north-west russia in general,

this is precisely what is probably due to the fact that it was built in the moscow period and e. apparently not without italian influence. although there are no direct indications that italian craftsmen participated in the construction of the novgorod medical center of the xv century, but judging by some architectural features. apparently. still, directly or indirectly, they participated in this. but this, for example, is such an element as e fortress battlements and a fortress. those in the form of a swallowtail, the so-called in the novgorod fortress, they are, yes, but these are not characteristic of russian fortresses northwest element. novgorod detinets was built taking into account the latest achievements of fortification, narrow windows , loopholes made the defenders of the fortress less vulnerable ;

the length of the walls of the fortress is about one and a half thousand meters high, in some areas it reaches 15 m from a thickness of six and a half. if we talk about the modern kremlin that we can see, then it was a witness and participant in two such e, major military events. uh, the first occurred in 1611. this assault on novgorod by the troops of the swedish commander dilacardi ended. in general, this is all about the occupation of novgorod by the swedes, which lasted until 1617 and became a very big disaster. in fact, probably, throughout the history of novgorod, this event is comparable only to the german occupation during the great patriotic war. the second assault on the citadel occurred during the great patriotic war in august, 1941, the germans took the city and the novgorod kremlin with battles for two years . the front line passed through veliky novgorod the occupation of the novgorod region lasted 2.5

years on its territory and the events of the demyansk cauldron were going on, fierce battles on the outskirts of leningrad. during the war on novgorod land, according to various sources, from 500 sixty to 800,000 people died. in 2010, a stella was installed in honor of giving veliky novgorod the status of a city of military glory, of course, we are proud that the history of novgorod is connected with the history of the formation of our russian state and certainly from here. the glory of the russian army has gone was the city defender a warrior city, because it was the novgorodians who cleared the northern northwestern borders of the russian state for centuries. after 2 years, the townspeople got their own museum of military glory in its exposition there are many finds

of search expeditions, as well as things from the personal archives of novgorodians, the simplest residents of hmm began to bring here to our hall those exhibits that were stored at home in home archives and hmm shared these items that were certainly expensive. at the same time, people understood that each of the items that have personal significance for them here in the hall can tell about the great very important events of our e, not only novgorod history, but the history of our entire country. she left chicken footprints throughout the novgorod region known for hundreds of military graves and dozens of mass graves. in the summer of 1941

, one of the worst wartime tragedies occurred at the lychkovo railway station. yes, german troops were approaching the city of leningrad, but leningrad had not yet been taken. e in the blockade ring. uh, leningrad children were sent to the rear, but on july 18 it so happened that german planes flew in, which means they bombed the echelon with the children of leningrad fell into the territory of the city of leningrad and the whole checkbox has already died at the railway station. leningrad children to the dead children was installed in luchkovo in 2005 at the expense of the russians, the military historical

route through the novgorod land leads to the ancient settlement. you were ordeals during the great patriotic war in september 1941, it was occupied by the nazi invaders, and since february forty-second. it became the center of the encircled fascist group of the demyansk boiler. there were six german divisions in it, including a motorized division of the donk esest, a dead head. in total , about 100,000 people were surrounded to supply their troops surrounded under demyansk, the germans established an air corridor with airplanes. they delivered weapons, supplies , took away the wounded in april 1942, a breakthrough of the demyansk group was made from the old mustache. the nazis made a hole in the soviet encirclement , the so-called ramushevsky corridor of the

old russian land from staraya russa e through ramushev village. for a whole year it will become the scene of the most cruel and bloody battles. general fondzeidlitz himself, who, by the will of fate, will find himself in another cauldron in 43, but already near stalingrad during interrogations will note the number of losses that took place here under the old russo and demyanskaya in 42-43. he will call these losses 90,000 for the same period , our losses were even more than 120,000 soldiers and officers in a military grave. about two thousand fighters in 1942-43 are buried near the village of zimmen. they laid down their heads for to block the only exit of the nazis from the demyansk boiler.
