** and costs of acquiring new tiles reduced by 25% in this city.
== Strategy ==
In addition to training your units, the Krepost increases the city's rate of cultural border growth by 33 percent, allowing fast territorial expansion for the Russian player early on. It's quite worthwhile to construct these useful buildings in all Russian cities, but especially in cities on the civilization's frontiers.

== Trivia ==
* The icon is based on the Holy Trinity St. Nicholas Chapel at Fort Ross, California.
* Due to the fact that the word "krepost" means "fortress", that is, any defensive fortifications, in the Russian localization a unique building is called a "ostrog" (острог) (special defensive fortifications that built by the colonialists of Siberia). It is not clear why Firaxis did not immediately name the unique building "ostrog".
* Many Russian cities were built as fortresses or ostrogs, such as Moscow, Tyumen, Yakutsk, Tula, Smolensk, Tsaritsyn (today Volgograd) and Tobolsk.
* One of the synonyms for the word "fortress" ("krepost" or крепость) in Russian is "kremlin" (кремль) and in Kievan Rus fortresses are called "kremlins".
