Tutayev (Template:Langx) is a town in Yaroslavl Oblast, Russia. It was established in 1822 as Romanov-Borisoglebsk from two much older towns on opposite sides of the Volga River: Romanov and Borisoglebsk.
Tutayev's population is 39,643 since 2020[update]Template:Dated maintenance category (articles)Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"..[1] In comparison, population totals from past censuses were: Template:Ru-census2010 Template:Replace (2002 Census);[2] Template:Replace (1989 Soviet census).[3]
History
Before 1918, the town was called Romanov-Borisoglebsk (Script error: No such module "Lang".); the Bolshevik government of the USSR renamed it Tutayev, after a Red Army officer.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Until 1822, when an order of the Tsar united them, there were two separate towns: Romanov, founded in the late-14th century, and Borisoglebsk, established in the 15th century. The right bank of the town is still referred to by locals as the "Borisoglebsk side", and the left as the "Romanov side".Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
Geography
The majority of the population lives on the Borisoglebsk side, on the right bank of the river. The areas of town nearest to the Volga's right bank have many old wooden houses and historical buildings —including the Cathedral of the Resurrection— but further away from the river, Soviet-era apartment buildings predominate. There is no bridge across the Volga in Tutayev, so people have to use a ferry or, alternatively, travel north to Rybinsk or south to Yaroslavl to cross.
Paleontology
Fossils of Early Triassic temnospondyls are known from Tutayev. Remains of Thoosuchus yakovlevi and Benthosuchus korobkovi were found in the Lower Olenekian deposits of this location.[4]
