Tugova Mountain - a Beautiful Place with a Sad History

Other places

Tugova Mountain is one of the observation platforms of Yaroslavl, which offers a view of the city center. In the XIII and XX centuries Tugova Mountain was a scene of such important historical events as the battle with the soldiers of the Golden Horde and the suppression of the Yaroslavl rebellion against the Soviet power.

The name Tugova Mountain has a very touching history. In 1257, natives of Yaroslavl tried to rebuff the Tatar-Mongol invaders, when they came to Rus once again. When the enemies appeared in Yaroslavl, the local Prince Constantine and his armed force entered a battle with them on a hill beyond the Kotorosl River. The forces were unequal, and the prince and his soldiers were killed. Their death was long mourned on the battle site, so it was nicknamed Tugova Mountain, from the Old Russian word "tuzhiti", that is, grieve and suffer. In 1918, when natives of Yaroslavl made a stand against the Bolsheviks’ power and a rebellion broke out in the city, new rulers of the country brought troops into the city. They placed the equipment on the Tugova Mountain and shelled the city. So the mountain became a place of grief once again. Today the Paraskeva Pyatnitsa Temple of the late XVII century rises on the mountain.
