Rostovskoye Highway

Rostovskoye Highway is a major radial road in Moscow, Russia, leading southeast from the city center towards the historic city of Yaroslavl. Historically, it served as a vital trade and travel route, forming part of the ancient Yaroslavl Trakt that connected Moscow to northern and eastern regions of the country. Today, it remains a significant transport artery, lined with a mix of residential areas, industrial zones, and commercial developments.

Krasnodar

Krasnodar is a major city in southern Russia, founded in 1793 by Catherine the Great as a military fortress to secure the empire’s border in the Kuban region. It serves as the cultural and economic hub of the area, historically known for its Cossack heritage and role as a vital agricultural center.

Black Sea

The Black Sea is a large inland sea situated between Eastern Europe and Western Asia, serving as a crucial crossroads for trade and cultural exchange for millennia. Historically, its shores were home to ancient Greek colonies and later formed part of the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires. Its unique marine environment is characterized by a deep, anoxic layer that has preserved ancient shipwrecks in remarkable condition.

Krasnodar Krai

Krasnodar Krai is a federal subject and fertile agricultural region in Southern Russia, often referred to as the country’s “breadbasket.” Historically, it was the core of the Kuban Cossack Host, who settled the area in the late 18th century after it was annexed from the Ottoman Empire. The region is also a major tourist destination, known for its Black Sea resorts like Sochi, which hosted the 2014 Winter Olympics.
