The best Russian language course out there! – https://russian.fromzerotofluency.com/ Here is the text about this little Russian town: Чекалин — самый маленький город в России. Он находится в Тульской области. В Чекалине меньше тысячи жителей. В 2020 году в городе живут 863 человека. Чекалин – это очень старый город. Впервые он был упомянут в летописях в 1565 году. При Иване Грозном город входил в состав опричнины, а к XIX веку превратился в зажиточный купеческий город на Оке. Последнее столетие Чекалин пребывает в упадке: население сокращается, а городская инфраструктура разрушается. Тем не менее, когда в 2012 году администрация Тульской области предложила изменить статус поселения на сельский, многие чекалинцы выступили против и отстояли статус города. Chekalin is the smallest town in Russia. It is located in the Tula region. Chekalin has fewer than a thousand inhabitants. In 2020, 863 people live in the city. Chekalin is a very old town. It was first mentioned in chronicles in 1565. Under Ivan the Terrible, the city was part of the oprichnina, and by the 19th century, it had turned into a prosperous merchant city on the Oka river. Over the past century, Chekalin has been in decline: the population is shrinking, and the urban infrastructure is collapsing. Nevertheless, when in 2012 the administration of the Tula region proposed to change the status of the settlement to a rural one, many Chekalin residents opposed and defended the status of the city. *** If you want to support my work, you can do it in one of these ways: Patreon – http://patreon.com/realrussianclub Slow Russian Podcast Transcript and audio download for $20 – https://russian.fromzerotofluency.com/courses/slowrussian Join my free email course with A LOT of useful materials for self-learning – http://realrussianclub.com/subscribe My premium step-by-step course for Russian language learners – https://russian.fromzerotofluency.com/ Get all three levels together and save $102 – https://russian.fromzerotofluency.com/bundles/all-of-from-zero-to-fluency UNDERSTANDING RUSSIA (cultural course, no knowledge of Russian language required)– https://russian.fromzerotofluency.com/courses/understanding-russia Спасибо!
