The Vladimir Oblast ( Russian Владимирская область / Wladimirskaja oblast ) is an oblast in the Central Russia region northeast of Moscow .

The oblast is conveniently located along the rail and road links from Moscow to the east ( Nizhny Novgorod ). The largest rivers are the Oka and the Kljasma .

The Oblast is bordered to the north by the Ivanovo , east to the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast , the south by the Ryazan Oblast , on the west by the Moscow Oblast and in the northwest of the Yaroslavl Oblast .

history

The area was originally settled by Volga Finns . However, Slavs immigrated to the region early in the Middle Ages. They soon made up the majority of the population. The Grand Duchy of Vladimir was established in 1157 when Prince Andrei Bogolyubsky moved his seat from Kiev here. The Mongol storm in 1238 left the region extremely devastated. In 1362 it came under the sovereignty of the Grand Duchy of Moscow .

From 1708 to 1780 - from 1,721 in the Empire  - the area belonged to Vladimir as Vladimir Province to province Moscow . In 1780 it was spun off as governorship of Vladimir , which existed until 1796. The then formed Vladimir governorate existed until 1929 as part of the RSFSR of the Soviet Union . The Vladimir Oblast was formed on August 14, 1944 from parts of the three Oblasts Ivanovo , Gorky and Moscow .
