Pereslavl-Zalessky

Pereslavl-Zalessky or Pereyaslavl-Zalessky ( _ru. Пересла́вль-Зале́сский; could be translated as "Pereslavl, which is located behind the woods"), is a town in Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia. It was called Pereyaslavl until the 15th century. The town is located on the southeastern shore of the Lake Pleshcheyevo at the mouth of the Trubezh River. Population: 42,900 (2005 est.); ru-census2002|43379|; su-census1989|42331|.

Pereslavl-Zalessky was founded in 1152 by Prince Yuri Dolgoruky as a projected capital of Zalesye. In 1175–1302, the town was the center of the Principality of Pereslavl (Zalessky). In 1302, the town became a part of the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Pereslavl-Zalessky had been devastated numerous times by the Mongols between the mid-13th century and the early 15th century. In 1611–1612, it suffered from the Polish invasion.

In 1688–1693, Peter the Great built his famous "funny flotilla" on Lake Pleshcheyevo for his own amusement, including the so-called Peter's little boat, which would be considered the forefather of the Russian fleet. The "Botik" (small boat) museum chronicles the history of the first Russian fleet and keeps one of the original model boats.

In 1708, Pereslavl-Zalessky became a part of Moscow Governorate. In 1894, Vladimir Lenin came to the village of Gorki not far from Pereslavl-Zalessky and typed his work entitled "Who are the 'friends of the people' and how do they fight Social Democrats?" on a hectograph. In 1919–1920 and 1941–1943, a famous Soviet artist Dmitry Kardovsky lived and created in Pereslavl-Zalessky.

Pereslavl-Zalessky is known for its historic buildings, including:
*the white stone Spaso-Preobrazhensky Cathedral (1152–1157);
*Church of Metropolitan Peter (1585);
*Troitse-Danilov Monastery (16th–18th centuries);
