It is an industrial city with industries such as machinery (textiles, leather, shoemaking, glass, food industry equipment, road construction machinery, agricultural machinery parts, watches, computers), food, and construction materials. The city's origins date back to 1566, when a fortress was built to prevent Tatar attacks on Moscow.

The city is located on the hills on the left bank of the Oka River, but in recent years the urban area has expanded, with newly developed industrial and residential areas extending to the right bank of the Oka River and the south bank of the Orlik River. It is the birthplace of the writer Turgenev, and his birthplace is now a museum. It is home to a pedagogical university and a railway junction, and the main road connecting Moscow and Kharkov (Ukraine) passes through it. A fierce battlefield during World War II.
