The Ivanovo Oblast ( Russian Ивановская область / Ivanovskaya oblast ) is an oblast in central Russia . It is located around 300 km northeast of Moscow between the Volga and Klyazma rivers in the middle of the Eastern European lowlands.

The oblast is located in one of the longest Russian populations of the country, with some cities dating from before the 13th century. At the beginning of the 19th century industrial textile processing began, with the region playing a pioneering role and being compared with the English cotton centers of Manchester and Liverpool .

Today the textile industry is still the most important branch of the economy in the oblast, alongside mechanical engineering and the chemical industry.

history

The forerunner of today's Oblast was the much larger industrial Oblast Ivanovo , which was formed in 1929 as part of the Russian SFSR . Ivanovo Oblast was created in 1936 when Yaroslavl Oblast was separated; In 1944 there were assignments for the newly formed Kostroma and Vladimir Oblasts .

Administrative divisions and cities
