Pereslavl-Zalessky (Russian: Переславль-Залесский, IPA: [pʲɪrʲɪˈslavlʲ zɐˈlʲeskʲɪj]), formerly known as Pereyaslavl-Zalessky,[8][9] or simply Pereyaslavl, is a town in Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia, located on the main Moscow–Yaroslavl road and on the southeastern shore of Lake Pleshcheyevo at the mouth of the Trubezh River. Population: 41,925 (2010 Census);[3] 43,379 (2002 Census);[10] 42,331 (1989 Soviet census).[11]

## History

[edit]

It was founded in 1152 by George I of Vladimir as a projected capital of Zalesye (lit. 'beyond the woods').[12] The inhabitants of the nearby town of Kleshchin were relocated to the new town.

Between 1175 and 1302, Pereslavl was the seat of a principality; in 1302, it was inherited by the prince of Moscow following the childless death of Dmitry of Pereslavl's son Ivan.[13] Pereslavl-Zalessky was devastated numerous times by the Mongols between the mid-13th century and the early 15th century. In 1611–1612, it suffered from the Polish invasion.[14]

In 1688–1693, Peter the Great built his famous "fun flotilla" on Lake Pleshcheyevo for his own amusement, including the so-called Peter's little boat (botik), which could be considered the forerunner of the Russian fleet. The Central Naval Museum, which chronicles the history of the Russian fleet, currently houses this scale model boat.

In 1708, the town became a part of Moscow Governorate.[15]
