Where can you get in touch with the ancient world in Russia? We tell you about three ancient Russian cities.
Chersonesus
Chersonesus is located on the modern territory of Sevastopol. The city was founded in the V century BC and existed longer than other ancient polis and settlements - until the XIV century. During this entire period it was the center of trade and cultural development. It is believed that it was here in 988 that Prince Vladimir adopted Christianity.
Phanagoria
The large ancient city of Phanagoria was located on the Taman Peninsula (modern-day village of Sennaya in the Krasnodar Region).
It was a major economic center. Excavations of the city began in the XVIII century and continue until now. The ruins of the sanctuary of Aphrodite, a dozen mounds with objects made of precious metals and other artifacts were discovered here.
Tanais
In the III century BC on the north-eastern shore of the Sea of Azov in the delta of the Don, Greeks from the Bosporus Kingdom founded the city of Tanais. Nowadays, the Rostov Region is located on its territory.
Quickly becoming a major trading center, this city supplied nomads with wine and olive oil from Greek islands (primarily from Rhodes) and other polis.

At the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, the Tver merchant Afanasy Nikitin, the author of the travelogue “Walking across Three Seas,” again sends greetings to distant India: “Seligerye,” a slow story about the largest lake in Central Russia, was shown on the movie screen of the Russian House in New Delhi.
The full-length film introduces viewers not only to the unique Lake Seliger, but also to its inhabitants. Each of them has their own story, their own life path, their own dreams and plans. They have only one thing in common - they consider the reservoir to be their place of power.
“I won’t tire of repeating that all the heroes of our film unanimously repeat that they have traveled all over the world, and found harmony precisely in these sometimes willful, sometimes quiet waters,” notes project director Anastasia Shkitina.
“Winter Seliger enchants with its tranquility, deserted, pristine views. I wanted to dissolve in it all,” said director of photography Anton Kosolapov.
