city, attracting domestic and foreign fans of the work of the great
composer to Klin. Tchaikovsky lived in this house from May 1892 to
October 1893. After the death of Pyotr Ilyich, the house was bought by

park of the late 19th century. The memorial house preserves the
furniture in which Pyotr Ilyich lived for the last year and a half of
his life. Here you can see personal belongings, the composer’s book and
music libraries, a Becker cabinet piano, and the desk at which his last
works were written. Above the entrance to the house there is a

homeland in Votkinsk; at the end of 1944 they were returned.

XIV-XVII centuries
The first mention dates back to 1317 - the
Nikon Chronicle says: “... In the summer of 6825... The same winter,
the great Prince Yuri Danilovich of Moscow with Kavgady, and with
many Tatars and with the princes of Suzdal, and with other princes
and with many forces, went from Kostroma to Rostov, and from Rostov
you will go to Pereslavl, and from Pereslavl you will go to Dmitrov,
and from Dmitrov to Klin.”
During this period, lands often
passed from one owner to another, and by the middle of the 13th
century, Klin became part of the Tver Principality. Having become an
outpost of Tver in the confrontation with Moscow, it was heavily
fortified with a rampart and ditch, and new fortress walls. It
became the center of the appanage Klin principality, which was owned
by the younger branch of the Tver princes, later nicknamed the
Dorogobuzhskys. During the Tatar-Mongol invasions, Klin, like other
Russian cities, was ruined more than once: the fortress was
destroyed at the beginning of 1409 during the raid of the Tatar
Murza Edigei. Then Moscow and Tver fought for him.
In 1482,
Moscow Prince Ivan III Vasilyevich annexed Klin to his principality:
the city quickly lost its military-strategic importance, since there
were more powerful fortified fortresses on the western borders of
the principality. However, Klin did not fall into desolation, but
became a center of trade and craft; The main occupation of its
inhabitants became carriage and Yamsk trading.
In 1569, Klin
suffered greatly from the oprichnina. The magnificent Klin
construction forests were especially damaged. It is known that the
most important buildings of the Moscow Kremlin were erected from
Klin forest. In 1572, Ivan IV bequeathed to his son Ivan Klin with
volosts, villages and duties; later Klin was the patrimony of the
Romanov dynasty. Sokolovsky's Poles besieged the city, where Dmitry
Petrovich Pozharsky held the defense.
In 1702, Klin, by
decree of Peter I, became an official post office. Residents of Klin
began serving a fairly large number of travelers. A variety of
trading shops, inns, wine cellars, food warehouses and other
establishments appeared in the city. Thus, meeting the needs of
travelers, the city gradually stretched along the highway.
XVIII-XIX centuries
In 1781, Klin received the official status of
a city and a coat of arms. And in 1784, a master plan for the
development of the city was developed, according to which the House
of Public Places, the Mayor’s House and an almshouse were located in
the center. At the turn of the 18th-19th centuries, according to the
design of the landowner-architect S.P. Karin, a postal yard was
built - a two-story brick building and two one-story outbuildings.
Sheds for horses, a well and a stable were built here.
Since
1785 it has been a district town in the Moscow province.
In
1851, the first branch of the Nikolaev Railway in Russia passed
through Klin, which led to a decrease in Yamsk transportation. The
meaning of “stand still” has also fallen. Now a significant part of
the city's population began to engage in hand weaving and make
scarves, muslin, and woolen upholstery fabrics for furniture.
By the end of the 19th century, Klin had turned into a quiet
provincial town. Its center also shifted somewhat, now it was
represented by Cathedral Square with stone shopping arcades, a
hotel, a government office and a fire tower located on it.
XX—XXI centuries
Workers of Klin factories actively participated
in the strike movement of 1905.
During World War II, the
German 3rd Panzer Army captured Klin on November 23 after heavy
fighting.
From November 23 to December 15, 1941, Klin was
occupied by German troops (for more details, see Battle of Moscow).
By resolution of the Moscow Regional Duma of April 28, 2016, the
city was awarded the honorary title “Settlement of Military Valor.”
On October 19, 2017, Klin was transformed from a city of
regional subordination into a city of regional subordination
simultaneously with the abolition of the Klinsky district.
Located on both banks of the Sestra River, 67 km from the Moscow Ring Road along the Leningradskoye Shosse (86 km from the Kremlin, 82 km from the Leningradsky Station and 566 km from the Moskovsky Station).
According to the climatic zoning of Russia, Klin is located in the
Atlantic-continental European (forest) region of the temperate climate
zone. The average July temperature is 18.5 °C, the average January
temperature is −7.1 °C.
The World Meteorological Organization
decided on the need to calculate two climate norms: the climatological
standard and the reference. The first is updated every ten years, the
second covers the period from 1961 to 1990.
