History of Ryazan Oblast

According to archaeological excavations, the first people settled in what is now the Ryazan region in the Upper Paleolithic (15 - 25 thousand years ago). The first known inhabitants of this area were the tribes of Finno-Ugric group: Mer, Ves, Muroma, Meshchera, Mordvinians and others, who gave a lot of preserved to this day geographical names.

The Slavic tribes moved to the east at the end of the 1st millennium AD. The tribes of Vyatichi and Radimichi settled in the upper and middle reaches of the Oka River. Over time, these lands came under the control of the Kiev principality. Further expansion of the Slavs to the east was stopped by the Kama Bulgars.

According to the latest archaeological data, the town of Staraya (Old) Ryazan was founded in the 10th century (about 50 km south-east of the present Ryazan). The town of Pereyaslavl-Ryazansky was first mentioned in 1095.

In the 13th century, the Ryazan Principality, with its core in the middle reaches of the Oka, extended south to the Voronezh and Don rivers.

Despite the vast territory of the region and mixed composition of the population, it was gradually exposed to the Christianization, a lot of churches and monasteries were built. In the 12th century, Olgovsky Assumption Monastery was founded (the present village of Lgovo) - one of the oldest monasteries in the North-Eastern Russia.

More Historical Facts…

In 1237, Staraya Ryazan, the capital of the principality, was destroyed during the Mongol invasion. After that, its place in the principality was gradually taken by Pereyaslavl-Ryazansky, which, later, inherited the name of the former capital.

The rise of the Ryazan Principality is usually associated with Prince Oleg Ivanovich (1350-1402), who, with varying degrees of success, competed with the Moscow princes. His descendants were not so successful in opposing Moscow and the Ryazan principality ceased to exist in 1521 and became part of the Moscow Principality.

In the 16th-17th centuries, the Ryazan region, being the southern boundary of the Russian state, suffered from frequent devastating raids of nomads. Ryazan guberniya (province) of the Russian Empire was established by the decree of Catherine II in 1778. The town of Pereyaslavl-Ryazansky, the administrative center of the province, received a new name - Ryazan.

In the 18th century, metallurgy (iron foundries, needle factories), textile (cloth, rope, linen factories) and leather industries appeared in the region. In the 19th century, coal mines, cement, brick, tile, match factories were opened. In the north of the province, there were several glass factories.

In the southern districts of the province, agricultural processing industry was developed. Construction of railways, along with the traditional and already well-developed river navigation, was essential for the development of the regional economy.

In 1929, almost the entire territory of the Ryazan region became part of Moscow Oblast. In 1937, a separate Ryazan Oblast was formed. During the Second World War, only the south-western districts of the region (Mikhailov, Skopin) were occupied by the German troops.

In the post-Soviet period, an outflow of population from Ryazan Oblast has begun (due to the proximity to Moscow). In 1991-2015, the population of the region decreased by more than 200 thousand people.

Tour d'Espagne - La 15e étape... le terrible Cuitu Negru ! Parcours et profll

Vidéo - Ben O'Connor va-t-il conserver son maillot rouge dimanche ?

Roglic en rouge dimanche soir .

L'ascension finale du Cuitu Negru (19.7 kilomètres à 6.7 %) - un long effort avec des portions finales à plus de 13 % - sera, en tout cas, le terrain idéal pour qu'une nouvelle explication ait lieu, alors que Primoz Roglic (Red Bull-BORA hansgrohe)se montre de plus en plus menaçant envers la tunique rouge de Ben O'Connor (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale). L'Australien ne compte plus qu'1'21" d'avance sur le Slovène, qui a semblé intouchable vendredi les pentes du Puerto de Ancares, bien qu'il ne se dise pas encore "en pleine confiance", gêné, il y a quelques jours par des douleurs au dos dans les forts pourcentages de l'Alto de Hazallanas.

Jeux paralympiques : Marie Patouillet et Heïdi Gaugain, l’or, l’argent, les larmes et la piste aux étoiles

Finale de la poursuite historique pour la France au Vélodrome. Pour son dernier tour de piste, Marie Patouillet a battu son héritière Heïdi Gauguin, pourtant favorite. Une journée de rêves conclue dans un torrent d’émotions, entre coup de chaud et larmes de désespoir.

Voilà sans doute le podium le plus atypique des Jeux paralympiques de Paris 2024 . « Atypique, ça me ressemble bien », sourit Marie Patouillet, une championne surprise qui a bien failli s’évanouir, assommée par la chaleur du Vélodrome national, avant de recevoir sa médaille d’or de la poursuite individuelle 3 000 m (C5). Au bord du malaise, la Française de 36 ans, médecin au civil, a été soutenue par le staff puis ses camarades de podium afin de pouvoir tenir debout durant une « Marseillaise » un peu folle et remplie d’émotions.

« Déjà, dans les coursives, je ne me sentais pas bien, raconte Marie Patouillet , une bonne demi-heure après son « coup de chaud ». Rien n’a tenu. J’ai des coéquipières, surtout une, Heïdi ( Gaugain ), en or. Elle m’a soutenu malgré la déception. On aura vécu une Marseillaise contre le protocole. Mais elles ne pouvaient pas me lâcher sinon je tombais. Il y avait la chaleur, les émotions, l’effort physique. Une finale, on y va avec tout ce qu’on a, voire plus. Et le public m’a emmené au-delà de ce que je pouvais faire. »

Première femme française en or depuis… 2016

Bien au-delà, même. Car le succès de Marie Patouillet, avec un chrono personnel explosé de quatre secondes à deux reprises pour finir à environ 3 minutes et 35 secondes en qualifications comme en finale, était tout sauf attendu. « Dans ma tête, Heïdi était favorite, assume-t-elle. Elle avait sorti un chrono tellement énorme ce matin ( 3′33″881 ). Moi, je me suis dit : fais ce que tu sais faire, il faut que ce soit magique pour tes derniers tours de piste . Je crois que ma détermination m’a emmené un peu trop loin physiquement. »

Première femme française en or aux Jeux paralympiques depuis Nantenin Keita en 2016, Marie Patouillet a surpris tout le monde. Ses entraîneurs en équipe de France, son entraîneur personnel (Grégory Baugé, qui sautait de joie) et, surtout, Heïdi Gaugain, sa partenaire de chambre et une bonne copine malgré les 17 années d’écart. La jeune Bretonne, grande favorite, a sans doute payé son manque d’expérience, se voyant vainqueur un peu trop tôt, comme l’a montré sa « pique » envers Sarah Storey, sa rivale britannique, grande absente de l’épreuve du jour.

« J’ai perdu pied »

« J’ai eu beaucoup de déception que Storey ne soit pas là. Mais je le prends comme une victoire, lâchait Gaugain après les qualifications matinales. Si elle n’est pas là, c’est qu’elle a eu peur de le faire. C’est 1-0 pour moi. » Changement d’ambiance après la finale et une médaille d’argent insuffisante pour sécher les larmes. « Je n’ai pas les mots, tremble encore Gaugain. Dès le début, je sens que je n’y suis pas. Je ne sais pas pourquoi. J’ai perdu pied. Mais il n’est pas l’heure de se morfondre. On fera le bilan plus tard. Il est l’heure de penser à la route. »

« Contente » pour Marie Patouillet, Heïdi Gaugain ne se remet pas « du sentiment d’avoir perdu l’or ». Il va pourtant falloir pour entamer les épreuves sur route, dès mercredi avec le contre-la-montre. Pour cela, elle comptera sur le soutien de son « ennemie » du jour, redevenue sa « copine de chambrée » dans la soirée de dimanche, dans l’hôtel collé au Vélodrome national de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines. Une relation née aux Étoiles du sport après les Jeux paralympiques de Tokyo.

Une connexion entamée par un message prémonitoire. « On m’a proposé d’être sa marraine, glisse Marie Patouillet. Et je me souviens l’appeler en lui disant : « On sera probablement aux Jeux ensemble, dans la même catégorie. On sera adversaire. J’ai connu des situations où deux athlètes de la même catégorie se pénalisent en raison du stress, de l’adversité. Mais je ne veux pas ça. Je veux qu’on se respecte comme athlète. L’une sera devant l’autre mais ça sera OK si c’est le cas. » J’ai eu à cœur de nous construire comme ça. »

Jusqu’à amener Patouillet et Gaugain à cette folle finale. « Je le vois vraiment comme une transmission de relais, conclut l’aînée. Je m’en vais, elle arrive. Elle va vivre des choses incroyables. À mon avis, elle ira chercher des performances qui vont marquer l’histoire du sport français. »
