description: 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 Muskovy is hardly circular, but it is certainly "golden" in the sense that it is rich in historical monuments and towns that are museums in themselves. These man-made "stone records" of the past have witnessed historical events, the suffering and heroism of the people. In the sixteenth sections of this album you will find brief descriptions of what took place. You will read about outstanding places of interest along the route and about the remarkable examples of old Russian architecture still in existence.
