Voronezh Travel Guide

 

Voronezh (Воронеж) is found in south-west Russia near the Ukrainian border on a fertile plain known as the Black Soil Region (see map).

 

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 Czar 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.

 

Today, with a population of roughly 1 million inhabitants, the city remains a large administrative, industrial, scientific, educational and cultural center. Over 30 educational establishments provide a student population of nearly 75,000 with higher education of international standards. Museums, theaters, sport venues, restaurants and night clubs provide cultural and entertainment venues for visitors of every age and background.
