КРАТКОЕ СОДЕРЖАНИЕ

Rostov-on-Don was founded first as a customs house in 1749.The city was named after the Russian Saint, Dmitri Rostovsky. In 1806 Emperor Alexander I added “-on-Don” to the city’s name to distinguish it from the smaller, Golden Ring city of Rostov the Great in the Yaroslav region.

Rostov developed rapidly in the 19^th century thanks to its geographical location.

During World War II Rostov was destroyed. Soon afterward, however, the inhabitants rebuilt the city.

Rostov is called the Gateway to the Caucasus, as it is the central connection between the European part of Russia and the Caucasus. Rostov is a major railway junction and a river port and a big industrial centre.
