Foundation
The first mention of Rostov can be found in the Primary Chronicle under the year 862 when it was mentioned as a city ruled by Ryurik and a centre of the Merya people. This date is considered the official date of the city's foundation and makes Rostov one of the most ancient of Russian cities.
St Theodore, Bishop of Rostov and Suzdal
Icon depicting St Theodore, Bishop of Rostov and Suzdal At the end of the 10th Century, often stated as between 990 or 992, the Rostov Eparchy was established and the Greek monk Theodore was appointed its first bishop. Bishop Theodore's main mission was to convert the remaining pagans in the area to the Orthodox faith and he immediately set about building a wooden church dedicated to the Dormition of the Virgin Mary. However Theodore was not welcomed by the locals pagan people who were succes...
Early Princes of Rostov
In the beginning of the 11th century Grand Prince Vladimir the Great of Kiev gave his son Yaroslav the Wise Rostov to rule as its prince. It was during this time that Yaroslav founded the nearby city of Yaroslavl. In approximately 1010 Yaroslav was replaced as prince of Rostov by his brother Boris until he was killed by another brother Svyatopolk the Accursed in 1015. The same fate also awaited yet another brother - Prince Gleb of Murom. Both young princes met their deaths in a Christian mann...
Rostov-Suzdal Principality
In 1113 (or possibly earlier) Prince Yuri Vladimirovich (later known as Yuri Dolgoruky) was appointed by his father Vladimir Monomakh as prince of Rostov. In 1125 Yuri Dolgoruky moved the centre of his lands from Rostov to Suzdal, thereby creating the Rostov-Suzdal Principality which became the kernel of modern-day Russia. In 1160, on the orders of Grand Prince Andrey Bogolyubsky of Vladimir, the old wooden Dormition Church built by St Theodor was replaced by a new stone cathedral, however th...
Rostov Principality
In 1207 the Rostov Principality became an appendage principality of the Vladimir Principality. Its first prince was Konstantin Vsevolodovich, a son of Vsevolod the Big Nest. Under Prince Konstantin, Rostov thrived and much construction work was carried out, including the reconstruction of the Dormition Cathedral. Prince Konstantin even managed to wrestle the throne of Vladimir from his rival in 1216 and until his death in 1218, Rostov was, albeit briefly, the most important city in all of Rus...
Reign of Prince Boris' Sons
Gleb Vasilkovich did not reign long in Rostov as he died in 1278 and Boris' sons Dmitri Borisovich and Konstantin Bosisovich jointly inherited the Rostov throne. During the brothers' reign an internecine battle erupted which was especially common all over Rus lands at the time. Firstly Dmitri Borisovich ousted his cousin Prince Mikhail Glebovich of Belozersk, to punish him for the actions of his father who did not allot his nephews any principality when he became prince of Rostov. The Rostov...
Split of Rostov
Prince Konstantin Borisovich was succeeded in Rostov by his son Vasili Konstantinovich and when he died in 1316 the Rostov throne passed to Vasili's nephew Yuri Aleksandrovich. Yuri Aleksandrovich died most likely without heir in 1320 and the throne passed to his cousins Fyodor Vasilievich and Konstantin Vasilievich who split the Rostov Principality into two parts Rostov-Sretensky and Rostov-Borisoglebsky in 1328. Fyodor died in 1331 and by 1360 Konstantin Vasilievich had managed to gain the...
Incorporation into Moscow
From the beginning of the 15th century, the Rostov princes had begun to lose most of their independence and were eventually ruling the principality on behalf of the Moscow Grand Principality along with representatives sent by Moscow. In 1408 Rostov was sacked by a Tatar army under the commander of Golden Horde Edigu who was ravaging Russia at the time. In Rostov-Stretensky, Prince Andrey Fyodorovich was succeeded by his son Ivan in 1409 who later sold his portion of Rostov to Grand Prince Vas...
Religious Centre
'Cathedrals in Rostov' by Konstantin Yuon Despite losing its independence and becoming part of the Moscow Grand Principality, Rostov nevertheless remained an important religious centre. Rostov's Dormition Cathedral was once again practically destroyed by fire in 1408 and reconstruction work was only started a century later in 1508, incorporating some of the ruins of the old version. The cathedral was completed four years later in 1512. In 1589 the cathedral became the seat of the new Rostov a...
Times of Troubles
Rostov played a considerable role during the Times of Troubles which were especially hard on Rostov lands. In 1605 while the First False Dmitri was tsar, he released the monk Filaret from his exile in the Russian North and appointed him metropolitan of Rostov. Filaret was previously known as Fyodor Romanov, the head of the powerful boyar family who was forcibly tonsured by Tsar Boris Godunov to remove him as a threat to the throne. Later in 1608 the troops of the Second False Dmitri sacked an...
Rostov Kremlin
'Rostov Veliky' by Nicholas Rerikh Rostov quickly recovered from the devastation of the Times of Troubles and in 1652 the monk Jonah (Iona) Sysoevich, a supporter of Patriarch Nikon, was appointed metropolitan of Rostov and Yaroslavl and set out upon an ambitious building project throughout the eparchy. In Rostov he decided to build a new residence for himself in the form of a kremlin, although it was not meant to have any real defensive purpose. The kremlin was constructed between 1670 and 1...
Decline in Status
'The Rostov Kremlin' by Konstantin Yuon Over the 18th century Rostov began to decline in status. In 1708 it became a city in the Moscow Governorate. In 1742 the Metropolitan Arsenius of Siberia and Tobolsk was transferred to Rostov and Yaroslavl who became famous in 1763 when he was removed from his post for publically criticising Catherine the Great’s policy of secularising church lands. Arsenius later denounced Catherine for her role in the murder of former emperor Ivan VI for which he was...
