Ryazan is an historic city situated on the Oka River, 196 Km southeast of Moscow. First written mention of the city, under the name Pereslavl, dates to 1095. There is some thought that the Kremlin was actually founded in 800, by Slavic settlers. Initially made of wood, this was gradually replaced by one of stone. The oldest part of the Kremlin dates to the 12th century...

Immediately after the end of the Great Patriotic War, rapid expansion of the city took place. Ryazan became a major industrial, scientific, and military centre of the European part of Russia. Massive factories were constructed in the city, occupying the entire urban areas. Such establishments included the largest refinery in Europe, the Soviet Union's only producer of potato-harvesting equipment....
Landscaping became a fundamental strategy for the development of the city at that time. A "green" ring of forests, parks, and garden associations surrounded Ryazan, with large parks located in each area of the city, and compositions of flowers and vertical gardening became customary, not only for the main streets, but also for industrial zones and factory buildings. Ryazan repeatedly won recognition among the cities of the Soviet Union for its landscaping.
