The city serves as a majortransport hub of theNorthwest of Russia. TheMinistry of Culture of the Russian Federation has classified Vologda as a historic city, one of 41 in Russia and one of only three in Vologda Oblast.[18] The Russian Cultinfo website wrote that there were 224 monuments of historical, artistic and cultural importance in Vologda.[19]
The official founding year of Vologda is 1147,[20][21] based on the 17th century "Tale of Miracles of Gerasimus of Vologda" and Ivan Slobodsky's 1716 "Chronicler", which tells the story of the arrival of the monk Gerasimus who founded the Trinity Monastery near theVologda river.[22][23] This date, which would make Vologda about the same age asMoscow, was introduced by the historian Aleksey Zasetsky in 1780.[24]
However, historians and archaeologists have expressed doubts on the official founding year,[22] due to the age and secondary nature of the sources and also due to archaeological excavations dating no earlier than the 13th century.[25] Instead, they believe that the city was founded in the 13th century with Vologda being mentioned in a 1264 agreement between theNovgorod Republic and theGrand Prince of Vladimir as an outlying possession of the Novgorod Republic.[26]
The nucleus of Vologda in the 13th century was not located in the area which is now the city center, but rather the area known now as "Lazy ground" (Ленивая площадка), close to the Resurrection church. This area was the center of Vologda up to 1565. Until that year, no stone constructions existed in Vologda; all of the city fortifications, bridges, houses, churches, and industrial enterprises were made of wood.[21]
The unique position of Vologda on important waterways connecting Moscow, Novgorod, and theWhite Sea (via theNorthern Dvina) made it attractive for theNovgorod Republic, as well as for the princes ofTver andMoscow, who fought numerous wars between the 13th and the 15th centuries.
In 1371,Dmitry Prilutsky, a monk from theNikolsky Monastery inPereslavl-Zalessky, founded Nikolsky Monastery, now known asSpaso-Prilutsky Monastery, close to the city.Dmitry Donskoy, the Grand Prince of Moscow, was the chief benefactor of the monastery and viewed it as a stronghold of the influence of the Grand Duchy of Moscow in the Northern lands in competition with Novgorod.
In 1397, during the reign ofVasily I, Vologda was added to the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Subsequently, the city was several times attacked by Novgorod forces. During theMuscovite Civil War, Vologda played a key role. AfterVasily II the Blind, the Grand Prince of Moscow, was defeated byDmitry Shemyaka in 1447, he swore to never start a war against Shemyaka, was exiled to Vologda, and got the city as a personal possession. From there Vasily traveled to theKirillo-Belozersky Monastery where the hegumen released him from the oath. The civil war continued, and in 1450, Vologda was besieged by the troops ofDmitry Shemyaka; however, they did not manage to occupy the town.
After the death of Vasily in 1462, Vologda passed to the possession of his sonAndrey Menshoy and became the center of thePrincipality of Vologda. In 1481, after the death of Andrey who had no successors, Vologda passed toIvan III, the Grand Duke of Moscow, and was included to theGrand Duchy of Moscow.
During the reign ofTsarIvan the Terrible, Vologda became one of the major transit centers of Russia's trade. The foreign trade was conducted mostly with England, Holland, and other western countries via theWhite Sea.Arkhangelsk was the major foreign trade haven, and Vologda stood on the waterway connecting Moscow with Arkhangelsk. The trade with Siberia was conducted via theSukhona and theVychegda, and Vologda also played an important role as a transit center. The state courtyard was built in the city on the bank of the Vologda. In 1553, Vologda was visited by the English seafarerRichard Chancellor who officially established diplomatic relations between theTsardom of Russia and England. In 1554, trading agent John Gass described Vologda to English merchants as a city with an abundance of bread where the goods were twice as cheap as in Moscow andNovgorod, and that there was no city in Russia that would not trade with Vologda. Following the reports of John Gass, in 1555 England opened a trading office in the city, and the first Russian ambassador sent to England for negotiations becameOsip Nepeya, a native of Vologda.
In 1565, Ivan the Terrible introduced the policy ofOprichnina and included Vologda in the structure of Oprichnina lands. That year, he visited the city for the first time and decided to make it the center of Oprichnina and consequently the capital of the country. The Tsar ordered to build a new fortress. It was decided to build it not in the former town center, but rather in another part of the town, limited on the one side by the river, and on the other side by what are now Leningradskaya, Oktyabrskaya, and Mira Streets. The fortress was surrounded by amoat. Ivan the Terrible traveled to Vologda in person to supervise the foundation of the fortress on April 28, 1566, which was the day to celebrate the memory ofSaint Jason (Nason in the Russian tradition) andSaint Sosipater. Therefore, the territory of the fortress located in the new part of Vologda was named the "Nason-gorod" (Nason-town). The other name of the Nason-gorod was the Vologda Kremlin (currently, the name is sometimes referred only as the Bishop's courtyard).
Between 1568 and 1570, a new cathedral was built in the new fortress. TheSaint Sophia Cathedral became the first stone building in Vologda. The design of the cathedral copied theDormition Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin. This was the idea of Ivan the Terrible who wanted to make his new capital similar to Moscow. He personally supervised the construction, headed by the architectRazmysl Petrov. In 1571, Vologda became the center of theDiocese of Vologda and Perm that was formed in 1492 and previously had its main church in the distant settlement ofUst-Vym in Perm lands. Thereby, Vologda was strengthened not only in trading, military and political influence, but also in ecclesiastical affairs.
However, in 1571 Ivan the Terrible unexpectedly stopped the construction work in Vologda and left the city for good. Presumably, this was connected with his decision to abolish Oprichnina, and Vologda was not needed as the second capital any longer. According to the legend, when Ivan visited the Saint Sophia Cathedral, a little stone fell from the roof on his head. The superstitious Tsar who received a serious head injury took it as a sign of misfortune and decided to leave the city. In any case, it is known that the Tsar wanted even to demolish the cathedral, and that the cathedral was never consecrated during his lifetime. The consecration took place only during the reign his sonFeodor I in 1587. Parts of the incomplete fortress which were later in the 17th century strengthened with wooden walls stayed up to the 19th century when they were disassembled by the city authorities and local residents and used as a material for stone building.
TheTime of Troubles for Vologda began with aplague epidemic in 1605. In 1608, when Russia was split into areas controlled by TsarVasily Shuysky and areas controlled by the pretenderFalse Dmitry II supported by Polish troops, the people of Vologda made an oath to False Dmitry. By gaining Vologda not only did he get control over Russian and English trading warehouses, but he also positioned himself to gain control over northern Russia. However, abuses and property seizures by the new administration sent to Vologda caused extreme discontent among the population. As a result, Vologda denounced False Dmitry II and supported Shuysky. Moreover, in February 1609 a national home guard headed by Nikita Vysheslavtsev was formed in Vologda and went to fight against False Dmitry II.
In 1612, people of Vologda rendered sizable food and military help to the home guard organized byKuzma Minin andDmitry Pozharsky, which eventually defeated Polish troops. However, after the city sent huge military forces to support the second home guard, it remained without sufficient protection, and on September 22, 1612 one of the Lithuanian extortionate groups seized Vologda without resistance, later burning down the city and killing and imprisoning many of its inhabitants.

After 1613, Vologda quickly recovered due to its convenient location and once again became an important center of foreign trade. During the reign ofPeter the Great, Vologda became one of the main military bases of Russia. Military and technical equipment for fortresses and military ships under construction was stored there. Vessels which delivered food supplies toArkhangelsk were constructed in Vologda. Peter intended to hold them onLake Kubenskoye, 30 kilometers (19 mi) north of Vologda. However, after personally inspecting the lake in 1692, he abandoned the idea deciding that the lake is improper for that purpose.
Peter the Great visited Vologda on no less than ten occasions, on six of which (in 1692, 1693, 1694, 1702, 1722, and 1724) he stayed in the city for extended time. He always stayed in a small house of the Dutch merchant Goutman, which in 1872 was bought by the city authorities, and in 1885 was transformed into the memorial museum of Peter the Great and became the first museum of Vologda.
However, afterSt. Petersburg was founded and foreign trade was rerouted to theBaltic Sea, the importance of Vologda as a center of foreign trade decayed. In 1722, Peter issued the decree restricting trade throughArkhangelsk, which damaged Vologda even further. In the course of theadministrative reform carried out in 1708, Vologda lost its functions as an administrative center and was included as a town ofArchangelgorod Governorate.
The revival began only during the reign ofCatherine the Great who in 1780 made Vologda the center ofVologda Viceroyalty, a successor ofArchangelgorod Governorate. In 1796, the viceroyalty, administered by a governor-general, was transformed intoVologda Governorate, the borders of which stretched up to the Ural mountains in the east. The center of Vologda was rebuilt according to the plan of a provincial city issued in 1781. The street network is still in use now.
A new economic lifting of the city was connected with a steamship movement across theSukhona and with the building of a new railroad line connecting Vologda withYaroslavl and Moscow (1872), withArkhangelsk (1898), withSt. Petersburg andVyatka (1905).
In 1871, the Danish merchant Friedrich Buman opened a specialized butter factory in the manor of Fominskoye, 13 kilometers (8.1 mi) from Vologda. It was the first butter factory both inVologda Governorate and in Russia. Since then Vologda became the center of the butter industry, and theVologda butter, a special type of butter with the taste of nuts invented by Nikolay Vereschagin and Buman, became a world trademark. In 1911, the manor of Fominskoye together with the Buman's creamery was given to the state and became the base for the Vologda dairy institute. Thereby Vologda turned to one of the largest dairy centers of Russia.[27]
Since the 15th century, Vologda was a political exile destination and was even known as "Siberia close to the capital". In the 19th–20th centuries, such persons asJoseph Stalin,Vyacheslav Molotov (later the Minister of Foreign Affairs),Nikolai Berdyaev (the famous Russian philosopher),Boris Savinkov (later known as a successful terrorist),Mariya Ulyanova, andAlexander Bogdanov were sent to Vologda.Anatoly Lunacharsky chose to go there to join Bogdanov, and to marry Anna Alexandrovna Malinovskaya, Bogdanov's sister.
Soviet power was established in Vologda in December 1917, and up to the summer of 1918 co-existed with thezemstvo and municipal administration. In February 1918, Vologda became the "diplomatic capital of Russia" for several months. Embassies located in Saint Petersburg were threatened by the German army, so Western powers, led by American AmbassadorDavid R. Francis, relocated them to Vologda. However, pressured by the Bolsheviks, on July 24, 1918, the diplomats were compelled to leave Vologda and repatriate viaArkhangelsk.
In 1924 the government ordered to close theVsegradsky cathedral, that used to be one of the biggest and most revered in the city.[28][29] In 1929, the Vologda Governorate was abolished and included into the structure of a new formation,Northern Krai, which also included formerArkhangelsk andNorthern Dvina Governorates, as well as theKomi-Zyryan Autonomous Oblast. The administrative center of Northern Krai was located in Arkhangelsk. In December 1936, Northern Krai was abolished and divided into the Komi ASSR andNorthern Oblast, with the administrative center still located in Arkhangelsk. On September 23, 1937, Northern Oblast was divided intoArkhangelsk Oblast andVologda Oblast by the decision of the Central Executive Committee of the Soviet Union. According to the same decision, districts of formerCherepovets Okrug ofLeningrad Oblast were attached toVologda Oblast. These districts currently make for the western part of Vologda Oblast. Thereby the current borders of Vologda Oblast were determined.
In the 1930s, a flax factory, a coach-repair factory, and a sawmill, "Northern Communard," were constructed.
DuringWorld War II, martial law was declared in Vologda, and its industrial enterprises shifted to military production. In the fall of 1941, Finnish troops crossed the borders of Vologda Oblast, and Vologda thus became a front city. The inhabitants were mobilized to dig trenches. In the city, bomb-proof shelters and elementary shelters were under construction, systems of air defense which protected the railway junction and the military-industrial enterprises were developed. As a result, though attempts of bombardments were numerous, no bombs fell on the city. To commemorate these events, a monument to the air defense forces was later erected on Zosimovskaya Street in Vologda. The monument has the shape of an anti-aircraft gun. In addition, Vologda was a railway hub used to supply the army and to evacuate equipment. It also served as a large hospital center. Residents of Vologda donated blood, money, and jewellery. The tank detachment "Vologda Collective Farmer" was funded by these donations. To commemorate these events the monument to the tank T-34 was built on Mira Street.
Between 1961 and 1985,Anatoly Drygin was the first secretary of theCPSU Vologda Oblast Committee and the head of the oblast. During this period, notable changes in many aspects of economy both of the city and of the oblast occurred. In particular, abearing plant, a mechanical plant, and an optical-mechanical factory were built in Vologda. A polytechnical university was opened. A large-scale poultry farm was established. A major construction initiative was carried out, and, in particular, the first buildings higher than five floors were constructed. The city expanded, with new residential areas built; in particular, Byvalovo, GPZ, the fifth and the sixthMicrodistricts. In 1976, theVologda trolleybus system opened.
In November 1991, the city administration was formed and the reform of local governments began. In October 1993, the Soviets of People's Deputies of all levels were abolished. After the dissolution of the Vologda Soviet, theCity Duma was established. The first Duma elections took place on March 20, 1994. This first Duma only had six seats, but in 1995, after the next elections, it was expanded to thirty deputies.
On July 25, 1996, the City Duma adopted the main city document: theCharter of Vologda. On October 6, 1996, the first mayoral elections in the history of Vologda took place.Alexey Yakunichev was elected and became the head of the city. His term ended in 2008.
In 2003, the construction of a ring road started. Before that, theМ8 highway connecting Moscow and Arkhangelsk ran through the city center, causing congestion. Since the completion, the ring road connects the highways А114 (Vologda –Novaya Ladoga), Р5 (Vologda –Medvezhyegorsk), and М8 (Moscow –Arkhangelsk). On August 25, 2005, the City Duma approved the new Charter of Vologda. Even though the deputies introduced more than four hundred amendments and the document increased more than twice in volume as compared with the Charter of 1996, the changes were relatively minor. On October 12, 2008,Yevgeny Shulepov was elected to be the City Head.

The population of the city and the oblast consists mainly of ethnicRussians. A considerable part of the city population are government officials and civil servants of different levels – according to various estimates, their number reaches fifty thousand people. The reason is that Vologda is not only a big city but also the administrative center of Vologda Oblast. Around 43 million hectares of farmland is unused, hence government has announced giving away free land. Vologda will lend 468,000 hectares of land for agriculture and raising livestock purpose.[citation needed]
