Cathedral of the Transfiguration of the Saviour

Reviewed By sergeyk147

This Russian architerture masterpice of pre-Mongolian period is to be admired mostly from the outside. My favourite angle is from an ancient and still existing earth mound behind it but, naturally, tastes differ. In any case, do not try to step in and especially waste money on an entry ticket - there's absolutely nothing inside, just bare white walls. It's really hard to find a parking place nearby but there's a typical Russian trick. If you drive Pereslavl's thoroughfare from Yaroslavl to Moscow look right and when you see the green mound and a blue traffic sign "drive straight forward" turn immediately to the right, to that mound, and you'll most probably find a place for your car. Sounds like breaking traffic rules? C'mon, you're in Russia!

Monument to Alexander Nevsky

Reviewed By sergeyk147

Alexander Nevsky was a medieval Russian prince who was born in Pereslavl' Zalessky and baptized in the Cathedral of Transfiguration of the Saviour situated nearby some time in 1221. According to the chronicles, he defeated Russian enemies twice - first the Swedes in a battle near the Neva river where St Peterburg is situated today (it happened in 1240) and then Teutonic knights by the Chudskoye lake aka lake Peipus, near contemporary Russian-Estonian border (in 1242). Allegedly in memory of the first victory he was nicknamed Nevsky - though more probably he got this "title" because he owned lands in that region. Anyhow, he was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Chirch in 1547 and since then his cult as the country's protector has only thrived, whether it was a tsardom, an empire or the Soviet Union. The monument was erected in 1958, i.e. under the communist rule, and represents a rare exception among mammoth Soviet structures depicting national heroes on stallions with huge balls and holding gargantuan spears or swords. A nice decoration of the town's Red square - yes, Pereslavl' Zalessky also has its Red square (which in old Russian also means a Beautiful square).
