It's my vlog from russian ancient city Old Ladoga(Staraya ladoga). Here we are going to explore the village, see russian typical houses and landscapes.

Staraya Ladoga has existed since the 8th century, it is called the "first capital of Russia" - it was here in 862 that Rurik came to reign. The Varangians chose this place as their residence not by chance - many centuries ago, the now small village was a prosperous and developed city: a crossroads of trade routes, a handicraft center and an international trade port, providing connections between the Slavs and European countries. Today, Staraya Ladoga is a unique complex of historical monuments united under the auspices of the Staraya Ladoga Historical, Architectural and Archaeological Reserve.

It is believed that the Scandinavians originally lived here, a little later - the ancient Germans and the Baltic-Finnish peoples. It was they who built the first houses and fortifications in the image and likeness of those that were characteristic of early medieval Europe. Such conjectures are confirmed by Merovingian artifacts found during excavations in the 2000s. Slavic tribes came to this land after the 8th century, having conquered the living space from earlier settlers.
