Pskov Region: Iconic Places
For Browsing
Under Vasili III, in 1510, the Pskov Republic was abolished, and its territory was annexed to the Grand Duchy of Moscow (the Russian state). The symbol of Pskov’s independence — the veche bell — was taken down and transported to Moscow. Pskov became a western outpost on the way to Moscow, and its suburbs Voronich, Ostrov, Opochka, Vrev, Vybor, Velie, and others became lines of defense meant to protect the borders of Russian lands. These were fortresses that bore the first blows of the enemy.
