Smolensk is an ancient city, erected on the route "from the Varangians to the Greeks" in 863. Its churches, defensive earthworks, and fortress towers have witnessed the emergence and development of Smolensk, and along with it, Russia. A city of... keys, a city of shields, a hero city – the birthplace of outstanding writers and musicians, scientists and singers: Alexander Belyaev, Boris Vasilyev, Mikhail Glinka, Yuri Gagarin, Eduard Khil, and many others. Smolensk is, first and foremost, the people who contributed to the city's flourishing in past centuries and continue to thrive to this day. We invite readers to embark on an exciting journey into the past of this city, to immerse themselves in its mysteries, to "taste them," just as our ancestors savored gingerbread, honey bread, and "confects."
