Legend of the Cossack Don
Today you will get acquainted with the first village of the Don Cossacks - Starocherkasskaya.
It remembers the rebellious uprisings, and valiant military campaigns, remembers the fires and devastating floods of the rivers. But in spite of all the trials, carefully keeps its history - the history of the free people, the history of the Cossacks.
It has about 100 monuments of culture, history and architecture. On the last Sunday of each summer month one of the most famous folklore festivals of Rostov region "There is no freer than the quiet Don!" is held here.
And in the afternoon we will go to Novocherkassk.

Starocherkasskiy Istoriko-Arkhitekturnyy Muzey-Zapovednik
The atamans' house is a real palace in the classical style. Inside, on the walls of luxurious rooms hung portraits of royalty, famous atamans, Stepan Efremov himself and his third wife, the beautiful Melanya Karpovna. The house was not what it is today. The building, stretched along the facade, kept its symmetrical composition and pilaster wall partitioning, but the classical portico, uniting the two floors, was gone.

Starocherkassk Army Cathedral of Christ’s Resurrection
In the XVIII century, the temple was erected with nine heads, using the elements of Ukrainian Baroque. In order to combine the cathedral with other buildings of the town, a two-tiered gallery, or gulbishte, was added to it. Now it houses an exhibition of the cathedral's history.
Here, in the gallery, at the western entrance to the wall, an iron chain is firmly embedded. It was this chain that chained the Cherkassy rebel Stenka Razin before being sent to Moscow to be executed.
