The "Golden Ring" is the name of a tourist route popular with both Soviet and foreign lovers of old Russian architecture. The route, winding in and out of cities and villages in the north-eastern part of what used to be the State of Muscovy, is hardly circular, but it certainly is "golden" in the sense that it is rich in historical relics and towns that are museums in them-selves. These man-made "stone records" of the past have witnessed historical events, the suffering and heroism of the nation. Each of the sixteen sections of this book is devoted to the most remarkable places of historical and cultural interest.
