Voronezh History and Sightseeing
Founded as a fortress on the Voronezh River in the 16th century, the city grew into southern Russia's administrative center under the rule of Peter the Great. It was here that the Tsar built the empire's first naval fleet, thereby strengthening the cities economic and cultural ties with Russia and the rest of Europe. As a result of this cultural enlightenment, Voronezh is recognized for a number of thinkers and innovators who once resided within the city. A few of the more notable names include writers Leo Tolstoy, Anton Chekhov and Ivan Bunin, explorer Semyonov-Tyanshansky, Nobel prize physicist N. Basov, composer G. Svirldov, and artist I. Kramskoy.
