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.

From Chuvil to Plyos

As Kirill Baldin, head of the Department of Russian History at Ivanovo State University, told us, the most ancient cities of the Ivanovo region are Plyos and Yuryevets. Interestingly, both toponyms are clearly Slavic in origin.

For a long time, the official founding date of Plyos (Volga region) was considered to be 1410, when, according to chronicles, “Great Prince Vasily Dmitrievich ordered the destruction of the city of Pleso.” The word “reach” itself in ancient times meant “lake” or “a stretch of river from turn to turn.”

But there is an opinion that this prince, the son of Dmitry Donskoy, only ordered the city to be rebuilt. The location is convenient: firstly, the Volga does not meander in this area, providing a wide overview of the surrounding area; secondly, in its bed there was a stone labyrinth from the Vinnaya and Kosaya ridges, impeding the unhindered passage of ships. And local pilots showed the way only after presenting a permit or paying a fee.

The director of the Plyos Museum of the Old Russian Family, Pavel Travkin, believes that Plyos is much older: it was founded in the 12th century by Yuri Dolgoruky, like Moscow. The candidate of historical sciences also says (not all of his colleagues agree with this opinion) that long before the Slavic city, from the 4th century BC. e. The role of the unifying center of the district was played by the legendary city of Chuvil, a fortress in the town of Alabuga, 12 kilometers downstream of the Volga. Its founders were Volga Finns, the ancestors of the Merians. The legendary Chuvil, believes Pavel Travkin, existed until the 12th century, passing the baton to the northern outpost of Rostov-Suzdal Rus'. Then, just as Grand Duke Yuri founded Moscow on the southern outskirts of his possessions, he cut down the Plyos fortress on the northern border. Mention of the city was found in the Novgorod Chronicle for 1141. The antiquity of Plyos is also confirmed by archaeological research materials.

After the Horde devastation of 1238, Plyos quickly recovered, and at the end of the 14th century it appeared in the “list of Russian cities far and near” (the name accepted in historical science for a special article-appendix of a geographical nature, placed in Russian chronicles and handwritten collections). But Travkin also agrees that Plyos’s “finest hour” came in 1410, when a new powerful fortress was built here, built using the latest military technology of that time.

Interesting facts about Plyos

The Tver merchant Afanasy Nikitin in his famous “Walking across Three Seas” mentioned how he was allowed through the Plyos customs without any hindrance. The city also participated in the development of the Urals and the Urals: expeditionary military detachments were formed here. And in 1612, Plyos received the militia of Prince Dmitry Pozharsky, which liberated Moscow from the Polish-Lithuanian invaders.

Tyumen region | Area 1,464 thousand sq. km
