  • Novgorod the Great (or Veliky Novgorod) was founded in 859 and is one of the most ancient cities of Russia. The population of Novgorod the Great is around 220000.
    Today, I want to take you on a little trip with me to one of the oldest cities in Russia. We will explore a lot of streets and ancient Churches, visit the Kremlin, and I will tell you a little bit about the history of this city! I hope you will enjoy the video! And feel free to leave any comments down below!
    Thank you for watching!

    This was a great explanation of the history of Novgorod. My babyshka lives there and I’ve visited only once in January. It’s a beautiful city and I agree, this history, culture, and city is all so beautiful and I cannot wait to go back❤️🪆

    Hi Svetlana. Greetings from Arizona! I actually visited Veliky Novgorod a few years ago. Very beautiful, charming city and I love the history. My favorite city in Russia remains Saint Petersburg which in my humble opinion is the most beautiful city on Earth!

We are really only taught about challenges and perceived problems of Russian culture, and not the real lives of its citizens. You have really opened this American’s eyes to what being Russian really is:) Thank you!! You are doing a service to your country by showing the world that life in Russia isn’t much different than it is in most modern countries. 🙏🏻
