Klyazminsky town - a village on the banks of the Klyazma, 15 km
north-east of Kovrov. In addition to the sonorous name, this place
has a rich history, since it was here that Starodub-on-Klyazma was
located - one of the ancient cities of the Vladimir region. Starodub
was founded in 1152, survived the Mongol invasion, and in the XIII –
XIV centuries it even became the center of a small principality. The
city was completely destroyed in 1609 by Polish troops and was not
restored. A small monument standing next to the road, and a hillfort
on the riverbank, now occupied by rural houses and the Church of the
Intercession of the Church (1803), remind of old times. The church
is quite ordinary, but the contrast between the old Russian type of
church with onion domes on narrow drums and the bell tower is
remarkable, the completion of which carries obvious signs of
classicism. Despite the unsightly attractions, the place is very
atmospheric.
Getting there: buses to Panteleevo and Sannikovo
(every 1-2 hours)
At the village of Shashovo (or Shashevo), now located within the
city, during the development of gravel in June 1938, was found the
burial of Indo-Europeans of the Fatyanovo culture, dated by the
beginning of the second quarter of the 2nd millennium BC e. Three
drilled axes, two flint and two bone tools, as well as the remains
of a pot and a grinding stone were found in four destroyed burials
with preserved human bones.
Foundation of the settlement
According to the unconfirmed legend, the settlement on the site of
the future Kovrov was founded in the XII century on the banks of the
Klyazma River by the Grand Duke Yuri Dolgoruky. This place was
dubbed the village of Elifanovka - named after the hunter Elifan,
one of the first settlers. In 1886, the legend was set forth by
Kovrovsky priest A. G. Radugin in the newspaper “Vladimir Provincial
Gazette”, but it was probably due to a typographical typographical
error that the village was called Epifanovka. Under this distorted
name, it continued to be mentioned in local history literature until
the early 1990s.
