Rybinsk – Volga capital of Russia’s burlasticism

Rybinsk is the capital of the Burlaks since the beginning of the XIX century. And the whole of Rybinsk is like a monument to heavy inhuman labor, whether it is the thrust of barges filled with bread, hooking or the creation of the Rybinsk Reservoir by thousands of people of Volgolag.

Rybinsk is a beautiful city located in the northern part of the Yaroslavl region. The city is located on the picturesque banks of the Rybinsk reservoir and the Volga River. The population of the city has almost 200,000 people and is the second largest in the Yaroslavl region.
