There are places that travelers do not visit so often. There is almost nothing to see here. Nature gradually absorbs everything that was once created by man. Time seemed to have stopped. And you only have to be silent a little, as you begin to feel the power of this place. And one of them - settlement Old Ryazan.
Andrey and I visited here during ours. I have long heard about Old Ryazan. And I really wanted to be here. Maybe it was because of my passionate desire that the road was not as easy as it seemed.
The city that we call Ryazan today was called Ryazan until 1778. Pereyaslavl-Ryazansky. And Ryazan, the capital Great Ryazan principality, located here in Staraya Ryazan.
The first chronicle mention of Ryazan dates back to 1096. However, settlements on this site existed as early as the Neolithic, as evidenced by the Late Neolithic sites located south of the settlement. Shatrishche-1 and Shatrishche-2(Shatrishchenskoye settlement). A good place was chosen for the city: a high steep bank above the Oka. Previously, the Pronya River flowed into the Oka, but over time, the rivers changed their channels. Today, only Spassky backwater next to Spassk-Ryazansky reminds of this. Near Staraya Ryazan, the Serebryanka River flows into the Oka.
Initially, the population of Ryazan was about 1,500 people, mainly farmers and artisans lived here. Ryazan together with was part of the Chernigov Principality. In the 1240s, Ryazan became the center of an independent principality. The population grew rapidly and by the beginning of the 13th century it was already 8,000 people.
A large construction was carried out under Prince Gleb Rostislavovich (Prince of Ryazan from 1145, Grand Duke of Ryazan in 1161-1178). Cathedrals of the Assumption and Borisoglebsky cathedrals, Spassky temple were built. The city has its own episcopal see.
View of Ryazan from the south. Reconstruction
Since the city occupied a border position, powerful defensive structures were built. Already by the beginning of the 12th century, Ryazan was protected from three sides by high ramparts, from the fourth side - by the steep and high bank of the Oka. The fortified area of the city was 60 hectares. The length of the fortifications reached 1.5 km, the height of the earthen rampart reached 10 meters, and its width at the base was 23-24 meters. At least five times the people of Ryazan increased the height of the ramparts, as evidenced by dense layers of black earth.
In front of the earthen rampart there was a moat up to 8 meters deep. The northwestern part of Ryazan, the Krom (Kremlin), was separated from the rest of the city by another moat. A palisade ran along the crest of the rampart. Later, "taras" appeared - chopped and covered with clay walls, to which a palisade of two rows of logs adjoined from the outside.
There were three Kremlins in Ryazan. The first one was the grand-princely court (krom), which stood on a steep steep northern hill and was surrounded by additional ditches. From the east, the second Kremlin (middle city) adjoined the Grand Duke's palace, in which the city nobility lived. And, finally, the city itself (the capital city) was fortified with fortress walls.
Plan of Ryazan, reconstruction
Ryazanians traded with Byzantium, Iran and Central Asia, Europe. Goods were also brought to Kyiv. Silver and non-ferrous metals, beads and jewelry made of amber, rock crystal, Indian stones, wine and olive oil in amphorae were imported into the city. Craft flourished - the remains of blacksmith, bronze casting, pottery and bone-working workshops were found.
The city was rich, in the XII-XIII centuries one of the largest in Russia ... But the year 1237 came.
Batu's invasion and the fall of Ryazan
As early as 1236, refugees from the Volga Bulgaria brought disturbing news about the hordes of Mongols marching from east to west. In 1237 the Mongols came to Russia. The first major city on their way was Ryazan. The people of Ryazan asked other Russian principalities for help in vain - they turned out to be deaf to their pleas.
In the year 6745 (1237). In the twelfth year after the transfer of the miraculous image of St. Nicholas from Korsun, the godless Tsar Batu came to the Russian land with many Tatar soldiers and camped on the river in Voronezh near the land of Ryazan. And he sent unlucky ambassadors to Ryazan to the Grand Duke Yuri Ingvarevich of Ryazan, demanding from him a tenth of everything: in princes, in all kinds of people and in horses ...
... Tsar Batu, he was crafty and unmerciful, inflamed in his lust and said to Prince Fyodor Yuryevich: “Give me, prince, to taste the beauty of your wife.” The noble prince Fyodor Yuryevich Ryazan only laughed and answered the tsar: “It is not good for us Christians to lead our wives to you, the impious tsar, for fornication. When you overcome us, then you will rule over our wives.” - The Tale of the Devastation of Ryazan by Batu
Batu killed the prince ... His wife, Princess Evpraksia, having learned about the death of her husband, together with her son, Prince Ivan, committed suicide by throwing herself from a high tower.
... And Tsar Batu the accursed Ryazan land began to fight and went to the city of Ryazan. And they surrounded the city, and fought relentlessly for five days. Batu's army changed, and the townspeople fought incessantly. And many citizens were killed, and others were wounded, and others were exhausted from great labors and wounds. And on the sixth day, the filthy went to the city early in the morning - some with fires, others with battering rams, and still others with countless ladders - and took the city of Ryazan on the 21st day of December. And they came to the cathedral church of the Most Holy Theotokos, and the Grand Duchess Agrippina, the mother of the Grand Duke, with her daughters-in-law and other princesses, they cut them with swords, and they betrayed the bishop and priests to fire - they burned them in the holy church. And many others fell from weapons. And in the city many people, and wives, and children, were flogged with swords, and others were drowned in the river, and the Chernoriz priests were flogged without a trace, and the whole city was burned, and all the famous beauty, and Ryazan wealth, and relatives of the Ryazan princes - the princes of Kyiv and Chernigov - captured. And they destroyed the temples of God and shed a lot of blood in the holy altars. And not a single living thing remained in the city: they still died and drank a single cup of death. There was no groaning, no crying - no father and mother for children, no children for father and mother, no brother for brother, no relatives for relatives, but all lay dead together. And it was all for our sins.
And the godless Tsar Batu saw the terrible shedding of Christian blood, and became even more furious and hardened, and went to Suzdal and to, intending to captivate the Russian land, and uproot the Christian faith, and ruin the churches of God to the ground. - The Tale of the Devastation of Ryazan by Batu
Prince Ingvar Ingvarevich at that time was in Chernigov, where he asked for help from his brother, Prince Mikhail Vsevolodovich of Chernigov. When he returned, he saw a terrible picture:
... And he came from Chernigov to the land of Ryazan, to his fatherland, and saw it empty, and heard that his brothers were all killed by the wicked, lawless king Batu, and he came to the city of Ryazan, and saw the city ruined, and his mother, and his daughter-in-law , and their relatives, and a lot of people lying dead, and the churches were burned, and all the ornaments from the treasury of Chernigov and Ryazan were taken. Prince Ingvar Ingvarevich saw the great last death for our sins and cried out pitifully, like a trumpet calling to the army, like a sounding organ. And from that great scream and terrible cry, he fell to the ground as if dead. And they barely cast it and departed in the wind. And with difficulty his soul came to life in him ...
… All that happened because of our sins. There was the city of Ryazan, and the land was Ryazan, and its wealth disappeared, and its glory departed, and it was impossible to see any of its blessings in it - only smoke, earth and ashes. And the churches all burned down, and the great church inside burned out and turned black. And not only this city was captivated, but also many others. There was neither singing nor ringing in the city; instead of joy - incessant crying.
And Prince Ingvar Ingvarevich went to where his brethren were beaten by the wicked Tsar Batu: Grand Duke Yuri Ingvarevich of Ryazan, his brother Prince Davyd Ingvarevich, his brother Vsevolod Ingvarevich, and many local princes, and boyars, and governors, and the whole army, and daredevils, and frisky, pattern and Ryazan education. They all lay on empty ground, on feather grass, frozen with snow and ice, not served by anyone.
The beasts ate their bodies, and many birds devoured them. All lay together, all died together, and drank a single cup of death. And Prince Ingvar Ingvarevich saw a great many bodies lying, and cried out in a bitterly loud voice, like a sounding trumpet, and beat his chest with his hands, and fell to the ground ... - The story of the devastation of Ryazan by Batu
Riddles of Old Ryazan
Blessed Prince Ingvar Ingvarevich, named Kozma in holy baptism, sat down on the table of his father, Grand Duke Ingvar Svyatoslavich. And he renewed the land of Ryazan, and built churches, and built monasteries, and consoled the aliens, and gathered people. And there was joy for the Christians, whom God delivered with his strong hand from the godless and malevolent king Batu. - The Tale of the Devastation of Ryazan by Batu
Archaeological evidence suggests that after the fire of 1237 the city has not recovered (A.L. Mongait. Old Ryazan. Materials and research on archeology of the USSR. 1955; V.P. Darkevich. Journey to ancient Ryazan: notes of an archaeologist, M., 1993 ; The ancient capital of the Ryazan land, M., 1995). However, written sources tell a different story. Yes, in "Description of a trip to Muscovy" German traveler Adama Olearia, published in 1656, Ryazan is also mentioned among the major Russian cities of that time:
There are many large and in their own way magnificent cities in Russia, among which the most notable ones are Moscow, Veliky Novgorod, Nizhny Novgorod, Pskov, Smolensk ... Arkhangelsk (a large seaside and trading city), Tver, Torzhok, Ryazan, Tula, Kaluga, Rostov, Pereyaslavl , Yaroslavl, Uglich, Vologda, Vladimir, Staraya Russa.
After traveling along the Oka and Volga, Olearius adds:
5th s. m. we drove past the town of Ryazan, pr., which used to be a large and even the main city of an entire province of this name. But when in 1568 the Crimean Tatars invaded and, beating and burning, devastated everything, this city also perished. Since, however, this province, located between the Okoyu and the rampart built against the Tatars, used to be a principality and, moreover, being extremely fertile, surpasses all neighboring provinces in arable farming, cattle breeding and game […], the king, after devastating it , ordered to gather a large number of people from everywhere, to process the whole country again and bring it back to its former order. Since they found a more convenient place for the construction of the city of Ryazan, namely, where Pereyaslavl now lies 8 miles from [old] Ryazan, they transferred the remaining building material here and built a completely new city. It is called Pereyaslavl of Ryazan, since the majority and most prominent of the people who built and inhabited it were from Pereyaslavl, which lies as far from Moscow to the north as this city lies to the south.
In a spiritual testament Ivan the Terrible(1568-1572) Old Ryazan is mentioned among other Ryazan cities that existed at that time. In a letter dated 1588 to the Terekhov Monastery of his son, Tsar Fyodor Ivanovich, Ryazan is mentioned as an existing city with its own local administration. However, in the salary books of 1676, it is said that Old Ryazan turned into a village. Nevertheless, based on these and other written sources, it follows that the city continued to live after the Batu invasion.
How can this be reconciled with archeological data? It is obvious that people could not confuse the two cities - Pereyaslavl Ryazansky and Old Ryazan. This is also indicated by old maps, where two cities are clearly marked:
Map of Jacob Bruce, compiled at the end of the 17th century
... Indirect evidence that Staraya Ryazan ceased to exist not in the 13th century, but much later, are the plans for its defensive structures. So, in 1774, the land surveyor Alexander Protasov, fulfilling the plan of the Pereyaslavsky district of the Staroryazan camp, inflicted on it all the defensive ramparts of Old Ryazan that existed at that time. As the Soviet historian and archaeologist A.L. Mongait (1955), according to this plan, all the fortifications of the city look intact. The total length of the ramparts is indicated in the plan as 1480 sazhens (3.1 kilometers) and they represent a closed pentagon of irregular shape. The ramparts framed a rather deep ditch - up to 8 meters and a width of up to 15-20 meters (on the floor side of the settlement).
The cartographic plan of the settlement of Staraya Ryazan from 1836 draws a less colorful picture - literally in some 60 years, the ramparts along the banks of the Oka collapsed, a number of sections of the rampart from the floor side also disappeared, being "eaten" by ravines. By 1946, the length of the ramparts of Ryazan (their height in some places reached 8-10 meters, and the thickness of the base - up to 22-25 meters) was, according to Mongait, only about 1500 meters - most of them were destroyed by ravines, and also partially plowed . Now the safety of the shafts is even worse. Thus, the speed of the disappearance of the ramparts of Staraya Ryazan indirectly shows that if they had existed since the 13th century, they would hardly have been able to survive by 1774 in such a good condition. - The mysterious history of the city of Old Ryazan, http://ttolk.ru/?p=11838
The question of what happened to Ryazan after the Batu invasion remains open. You can't argue with archeological data. But what about written sources? We can only guess. Perhaps people lived around the settlement, where the village of Staraya Ryazan is now located, leaving the ruined city untouched.
Our trip to Old Ryazan
Arriving in Ryazan, I immediately planned a trip to Old Ryazan. It would seem that there is nothing complicated in it - only 50 kilometers from Ryazan, most of the road runs along the highway. What difficulties can there be? But…
Highway M-5 "Ural"
The navigator paved the way, in principle, correctly - through Troitsa and Spassk-Ryazansky:
The road to Staraya Ryazan, laid by the navigator
But after reading the reports of travelers, I saw a different route for everyone - from the M-5 after Kirits, turn onto the road to Razberdeevo. Moreover, if you go through Troitsa and Spassk-Ryazansky, you need to drive twice along the pontoon bridge across the Oka. It was not clear whether they function there or not, and in general how passable they are for the Focus. As a result, we took the second route and turned, as advised, right after the sanatorium in Kiritsy - the former estate of the Derviz. And we drove along the Zasechye-Nikitino-Razberdeevo road. The Yandex.Maps mobile application confidently showed that there was a road there.
At first everything was great - great new asphalt. We were already looking forward to meeting with the ancient settlement.
And then the asphalt was replaced by a primer. Which, moreover, turned in a completely different direction.
Country road (still asphalt)
And in the direction where we need to go, the field road led. We tried to drive on it, but the Ford Focus is not designed for off-road, from the word at all. Remembering ours, we stopped in front of another puddle. Fortunately, at this time Niva appeared behind. The driver confirmed that there was no passable road to Razberdeevo. I had to turn back. And it’s also a shame that while we were valiantly getting out, I didn’t guess to photograph the beautiful landscapes and the road to Razberdeevo, which existed in the imagination of Yandex.Maps.
Hedgehog on the road; we have slowed down
True, the reward for the time spent was magnificent views of the floodplain of the Pronya and Oka rivers.
We again took the M-5 and got stuck in a traffic jam due to the repair of the roadway - there was a reverse traffic on a large section, which caused huge queues to accumulate on both sides. I already scolded myself with might and main that I dragged Andrei to the devil knows where - unlike me, he is a purely peaceful person.
Near Ivanovka, we turned left following the sign for Razberdeevo. By the way, it is interesting that in the full version of Yandex.Maps this road is marked, and through Zasechye-Nikitino there is only a ribbon of a country road.
The road to Staraya Ryazan through Razberdeevo (Razberdeevo for some reason is not marked on the map at this scale)
Here the road surface was, to put it mildly, unimportant. Only then did it get better. We were already afraid to think whether we would finally get to Staraya Ryazan or not.
One thing was pleasing - along the way, pointers to Old Ryazan came across every now and then. So we are on the right track. Then the road turned sharply to the left, and powerful ramparts opened before our tired eyes. At the sight of them, all my fatigue and stress vanished.
Having passed on the territory of the ancient settlement, we saw a parking lot on the left. They parked a car there. And then we went on foot. An archaeologist woke up in me (fortunately, after all, there are three in the anamnesis). And I rushed forward - to the ruins Churches of Boris and Gleb, a kind of symbol of Old Ryazan.
And I think our ordeals were not in vain. We arrived here already at 8 o'clock, when the low sunset sun effectively illuminated the settlement.
Ruins of the Church of Boris and Gleb in Staraya Ryazan
Along the field road we approached the ruins of the Borisoglebskaya church. A six-pillar, three-apse temple with side narthexes existed on this site as far back as the pre-Mongolian period. After the invasion of Batu, its ruins were dismantled. Later, a wooden temple was built nearby, the mention of which is found in the sources of the 17th century. In 1836, a native of Spassk, a lover of antiquity, Dmitry Tikhomirov, began excavating hills - "stones", as the locals called them and from where they took the stones.
Tikhomirov began excavations near the dilapidated Borisoglebsk church.

The purpose of our research was the only one, after removing the embankment, deeper in the mainland, to open the burial place of the great princes and archpastors of Ryazan.
Burials were indeed found - under the floor of the church and in sarcophagi. Rich finds testified to the belonging of the buried to the princely family.
In 1886, a chapel was built on the site of the ancient temple. In 1913-1914, a new temple was built here “at the expense of the local landowner Sterligova”, which buried all the remnants of antiquity under its foundation.
To the south of the church behind the fence, in the trees, one can see a rural cemetery.
I went ahead. And a fantastic panorama of a huge plain opened before me - the floodplain of the Oka. Here and there one could see oxbow lakes and lakes - traces of changes in the channels of the Pronya and Oka.
In front of the temple, closer to the cliff, one could see the remains of an ancient foundation. Perhaps these are fragments of the vestibule of the ancient Borisoglebsk church, unearthed by V.A. Gorodtsov in 1926.
Panorama of the Zaoksky distances and the foundation of the Borisoglebsky temple
A path led to the cliff. Naturally, I followed her.
With each step, an ever wider panorama of the beyond beyond the Oka opened before my eyes.
From here, almost from the cliff, you can clearly see the high bank of the Oka, on which the settlement stands. Below, between the slope and the river - the village of Staraya Ryazan with Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord.

Oka and Staroryazansky pontoon bridge through it
It's time to go back. I really didn't want to leave this place. But we were still waiting for the way back to Ryazan.
The trees growing on the territory of the settlement next to the rural cemetery reminded me for some reason in the Rostov region.
They got into the car. We decided to go back through the pontoon bridges. And, I must say, they did not regret it. For here the landscapes were no less interesting.
By Staroryazansky pontoon (pontoon) bridge passed with caution. In my tall car, I wouldn't even notice it. But on the Ford it was somehow dumb.
Oka (feeling like you are walking on water)
Having crossed the bridge, we stopped, and I went to photograph everything around.
Staroryazansky pontoon bridge and the high bank of the Oka

Boat near the cafe near the pontoon bridge
Then our path lay through Spassk-Ryazansky. According to legend, it was founded by the surviving residents of Ryazan, who moved here from the devastated city. In fact, the village of Spasskoye was founded in the 15th century as the estate of the now defunct Zaretsky Spassky Monastery.
Spassk-Ryazansky itself made no impression on me. At the exit from it I had to drive through a section of a narrow, rather bad road.
On the road between Staraya Ryazan and Trinity Oka makes a bend. Therefore, we had to cross the river on another pontoon bridge - Troitsky.
And here a deep meaning was revealed, why we did not go this way at first. The fact is that the exit from the pontoon was very steep, water was splashing between it and the shore. Perhaps we would be afraid to damage the bumper if we drove up from that side.
We drove Trinity, the main decoration of which is Church of the Life-Giving Trinity Built in 1903, the bell tower - 1837. Previously, there was the Trinity Perenitsky Monastery.
The sun was going down. And we hurried to Ryazan. To say that Old Ryazan made a strong impression on me is to say nothing. I was truly crushed by both the history of this place and its beauty. Strong place!
Information for those who travel to Old Ryazan
After the trip, I wanted to structure the information a little for those who go to Old Ryazan.
1. There are several ways to get to Old Ryazan. In the first two cases, we leave Ryazan along the M-5 highway to the side. The first way - we turn onto the road Troitsa - Spassk-Ryazansky - Old Ryazan, with a crossing over two pontoon (pontoon) bridges - Troitsky and Staroryazansky. Please note that the car must be high enough!
The second road is to turn off the M-5 near Ivanovka onto the road to Razberdeevo and follow the signs. This path is longer, but suitable for those who have a low-slung car. In 2015, the M-5 highway is being repaired, there are sections with reverse traffic.
You can also go from Ryazan to the R-123 road, near Shumashi we turn right and drive through Dubrovichi, Alekanovo, Murmino and others to Spassk-Ryazansky, and then we cross the Oka along the Staroryazansky pontoon bridge. True, how normal the quality of this road, I do not know.
2. It is best to go to Old Ryazan closer to sunset. You can make very interesting shots in the rays of the low sunset sun.
3. In addition to the ramparts, the memorial cross, the ruins of the church of Boris and Gleb and the panoramas of the Oka and the floodplain, you can also visit a few more places in Old Ryazan:
1) a rural cemetery, where ancient tombstones have been preserved (for those who love such places);
2) the northern foundation stone (Alatyr-stone), which is located south of the settlement. The stone is a boulder that appeared here quite recently;
3) the Grand Duke's court in the northern part of the settlement;
4) a spring on the territory of the Grand Duke's court;
5) the Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord of 1735 in the village of Staraya Ryazan;
6) Late Paleolithic site Shatrishche south of the settlement. It was from this side that Batu's troops stood, frightening the Ryazan people with the lights of their fires.
