context_page_description: Starocherkasskaya, formerly Cherkassk, is a rural locality in Aksaysky District of Rostov Oblast, Russia, with origins dating from the late 16th century. It is located on the right bank of the Don River approximately 35 kilometers upstream from the major Russian port city of Rostov-on-Don.
  It is famous for having been the center of Don Cossack culture and politics for nearly two centuries as the capital of the Don Host Oblast. Due to regular spring floods that submerged the small city on several occasions, the Cossacks moved their capital to higher ground at Novocherkassk in 1805.
  In and around Starocherkasskaya there are over forty noteworthy historical and cultural sites including the Resurrection Cathedral, completed in 1719, and its famous gilded wooden iconostasis.
