Part 3 Uglich fashion and regular houses

There is the Museum of the town living in the center on Uspenskay (Assumption Day) Square. It's small but interesting and has some entertaining exhibits which show vividly how people used to live.
The Museum of Uglich's Kremlin also houses armory, clothes, shoes, cutlery that date back several ages.

Dushegreya (soul-warming clothes, sort of)) was worn since 17th century. I think it used to be a warm comfortable clothing article for a working woman. The climate in Russia is severe and women needed warm clothes, that would not tie them up or restrict movements. This kind of clothes seems to be the suitable one.

Do bears really waddle about in Russia?

Nowadays, when industry and agriculture have almost been completely destroyed by the present regime, wild animals get closer to dwindling amounts of people on the outskirts of the country. It used to be unheard of in the past.

The fields were abundant in crops and harvested every year so people expanded their influence on the area. Factories were scattered all over the country. Nowadays, farms are rare. Factories are mostly destroyed.

Wild animals come closer to towns and  villages due to decreased human activity in all areas of life.  WWF activists rejoice!

Part 2 Uglich Cats

Well, I am trying to compose a post about Uglich's sights which is not easy since they are plenty. So far I 've  just been able to make the one about Uglich's cats.

Part 1 Uglich, the Golden Ring, hotels and restaurants.

The history of the city has been connected with the death of the last ancient Rurik dynasty heir, Dmitry, the son of Ivan the Terrible,  at the age of 8.

Nothing of such scale has happened in Uglich since then. As one of my colleagues remarked, "They(Uglichans) seem to still remain under the impression of the death of the prince Dmitry. "

The Transfiguration Cathedral 

The whole "accident" happened on 15th of May, 1591 in Uglich, since, after Ivan the Terrible's death,  Prince Dmitry with his mother and a wet-nurse had been sent away from Moscow by the boyar Boris Godunov, a claimant to the Russian throne then.  Boris Godunov has still been suspected to have ordered the assassination of Prince Dmitry.
