History
[edit]Yelets is the oldest center of theCentral Black Earth Region.It was mentioned in historical documents as early as 1146 or 1147, when it was a fort belonging to the princes ofRyazan.[9]The town's position at the very south of the Russian lands made it an easy prey for Turkic conquerors. TheMongolsburned it in 1239,[9]Uzbeg Khanravaged it in 1316,Timursacked it in 1395,[10]and theTatarsdevastated it in 1414.[11]
In 1483, the Principality of Yelets was absorbed by theGrand Duchy of Moscow,while the localRurikidrulers (last heard of in the 19th century) entered the service ofIvan III.In 1591,Boris Godunovrevived the largely deserted town by establishing a fortress there. In 1618, the fortress was captured "by subterfuge" by 20,000CossacksunderPetro Konashevych-Sahaidachny,allied withWładysław IVofPoland.They dismantled a large part of town fortifications.
In the 19th century, Yelets became the largest trade center of the region. Handmadelacehas been a notable product of the city since then; other important industries are grain milling and the manufacture of machinery. The town's chief landmark is the vast Ascension Cathedral, built over the years 1845–1889 to a Neo-Muscovite design byKonstantin Thon.The town was occupied by theGerman Armyfrom December 4 to 9, 1941 and damaged during the brief occupation and Soviet offensive in the region.
