Not Orthodox Yaroslavl

Of course, we will talk about confessions, but the main characters of my story will be those people who came to us from distant overseas lands, described our city in their notes, painted views and panoramas of Yaroslavl, brought their books, worldviews, sympathies, skills, and all this generously shared with our Yaroslavl citizens.

Of course, the fact that Yaroslavl is a city of exiles will be a surprise to you. You will learn that the Duke of Courland and the favorite of one of our Empresses spent twenty years here, leaving an unkind memory of himself.

Two years lurked in exile in Yaroslavl, the Russian queen of Polish origin, who stayed on the throne for only a week, but then put the rest of her life to return to the throne. (Spoiler: unsuccessful)

A Catholic priest exiled to Yaroslavl was later canonized.

We will talk about the fact that the art of European artists had a huge impact on Yaroslavl fresco painting and icon painting in the 17th century, how the Guelphs and Ghibellines were noted in Yaroslavl architecture, where gargoyles came from near the Orthodox monastery, how the ever-dissatisfied Marquis found in Yaroslavl a rest of mind and heart, how the Swedish architect in the 18th century turned the chaotic center of the city into a surprisingly harmonious space, and much more!

Who are all these people, real historical characters, you will learn on my author's excursion Yaroslavl non-Orthodox!

On the tour, you need to come with three main items: good mood, comfortable shoes, and an umbrella!
