Staraya Russa – the City with a Thousand-year History
Staraya Russa is situated in the heart of Russia, near Veliky Novgorod (about 100 km) and Valdai Hills, at the crossroads linking two Russian capitals – Moscow and Saint-Petersburg. Since ancient times Staraya Russa has been known as the city of specific significance in Russian history and culture. Back in pagan times here was the center of the famous trade route from the Varangians to the Greeks. According to numerous historical sources the name of the city gave its name the whole territory of the ancient Rus.
