My aim is to give you an objective information about the Vladimir region monuments and how you can visit them. I hope that the development of tourism in Vladimir region will help to reconstruct and keep this monuments for the future generations.

I have no opportunity to find the authors of the listed books, and some of the pictures, which were used in the site. Therefore here I ask them to write to me about their attitude to this.

The history of this site creation is the following. My interest for history, religion and art was formed rather unexpectedly. It was not the soviet school education, but my parents, who influenced on my literary taste. It was due to them that I took great interest in books by Francois Rabelais, Victor Hugo, Heinrich Mann's, and then Gustave Flaubert, Plato and Lao Tzu. It was contrary to what our school education offered us to read. Gradually my literary interest grew into historical and religious. I started to learn the history of the development of the Mediterranean sea countries during 2-1 millennium BC. Then I found out that my native Russian culture borrowed a lot from Byzantine and Greece cultures. And due to their influence Russia had its golden age in 11-12 centuries AD and survived the severest Mongol invasion in 13-14 centuries. In the beginning of the second millennium a new Orthodox culture was generated in ancient Russia. Unique monuments were created, which do not cease to impress people even nowadays. And here these monuments are: so close to me, in my native city of Vladimir. So, I could not held from telling you about them.
