12th and 13th Centuries

Foundation

Depiction of St Gerasim of Vologda

Vologda is traditionally considered to have been founded in 1147. Such date is based on the Tale of the Miracles of St Gerasim of Vologda.  According to the tale, the monk Gerasim founded the Troitsky Monastery on the River Vologda. However this source, which itself dates from the mid-15th century, has been questioned and some experts believe the city was founded later in the 13th century. The first contemporary mention of Vologda came in 1264 when it was included on a list of territories of the Novgorod Republic. In 1273 the city was sacked by the forces of Prince Svyatoslav Yaroslavich of Tver during his campaign against the Novgorod Republic.

The Vologda Region is changing the orientation of commercial interests from the West towards Asia. The “soft power” strategy used in Russia helps, on the one hand, to establish new ties with new partners, and on the other hand, not to completely burn the old bridges and to maintain cultural ties and good relations which Europe also needs. Inna Sinyagina, the head of the Governor’s Administrative Office is sure of it.

The monastery was founded by St. Paul of Obnorsk, a disciple of St. Sergius of Radonezh on the River Obnora not far from Vologda with the blessing of the Metropolitan of Moscow Photius in 1414. The following is known about the life and death of St. Paul of Obnorsk. Paul was born in Moscow in the first half of the 14th century. From childhood he craved to be a monk. Soon he joined the cloister of St. Sergius of Radonezh where he lived as a hermit for 15 years. An advocate of silent contemplation, he wanted yet more seclusion: he wanted to settle down in deserted Volga forests. He begged his teacher to bless his hermitage in the wilderness.

It is the oldest cloister in Belosero, 137 older than the St. Cyril Belozero Monastery. The Kamenny Monastery was founded in 1269 by the Grand Prince of Belosero Gleb Vasilkovich who vowed to do so during a storm at Kubenskoye Lake which was notorious for shipwrecks. It was on a small islet of the same name measuring only 120 by 70 metres and located in the north-east of the lake that a monastic community started.
