The Golden Ring of Russia is a tourist route that unites ancient cities of North-Eastern Russia: Vladimir, Ivanovo, Kostroma, Pereslavl-Zalessky, Rostov Veliky, Sergiev Posad, Suzdal, Uglich, and Yaroslavl. All of them have retained unique monuments of architecture, history and culture.
Modern Kostroma brings to balance the heritage of different times. A walk through its streets provides an opportunity to see the living history of Russian urban planning — from the patterned temples of the 17th century to the strict symmetry of classicism and industrial architecture of the 20th century.
The postage stamp features a Fire Tower (Kostroma State Historical, Architectural, and Art Museum-Reserve), a monument to Ivan Susanin (sculptor N. Lavinsky), a Snow Maiden Snegurochka's Tower-House, the Holy Trinity Ipatiev Monastery, and strip malls.
