Yaroslavl' (English spelling)
The capital of Yaroslavl Oblast in western Russia. It is a river port city on the Volga River downstream of the artificial lake Rybinsk, about 250 km northeast of Moscow. It is one of Russia's ancient capitals, said to have been founded by Yaroslav I (the Wise) in 1010, and has been mentioned in chronicles since 1071. It prospered as a key point for shipping along the Volga River to the fur-hunting areas in the east. It was captured by the Tatars in 1238, Ivan I (Kalita) in 1332, and Novgorod in 1371, but recovered quickly each time. In 1722, the Yaroslavl Textile Factory, one of the early large industrial enterprises in Russia, was established, and in the 18th century, it developed mainly in the textile industry. It is an important producer of flax in Russia. Other industries include oil refining, synthetic rubber, asbestos products, paints, dyes, diesel engines, paper-making machinery, lumber, leather, and food. The city is home to Yaroslavl University (1971), technical, medical and pedagogical universities, Russia's first theater (1750), historical and archaeological museums, art museums and many other historical buildings. In 2005, the city was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Yaroslavl City Historic District. It is a junction for railways and highways. Population: 591,486 (2010).
