In 1371, the residents of Russa put a stone church " trade "to Mykola Mirlikiy. One can not fail to mention another attraction of the city - not so ancient, but magnificently placed at the confluence of the Polisti and Porcia Resurrection Cathedral (1692-1696). Here is the icon of the Intercession of the Mother of God - the patroness of the city.

Lenin street - the historical center of the city; small houses have preserved the charm of the provincial town.

St. George's Church is a real decoration of the same street. It houses the main shrine of the city - the icon of the Mother of God "Starorusskaya", donated by the monks of the Greek city of Oliviopol. At the end of St. George Street there is a small but very remarkable four-pillared cubic building - the church of the Great Martyr Mina (14th c). Because of the absence of the dome, it is difficult to know the temple. Almost the entire height of the walls is preserved the ancient masonry made of red shell rock and white limestone

The city is located house museum of FM Dostoevsky (address: 42/2 Dostoevsky embankment, tel .: (81652) 2-1477). The great Russian writer came to Staraya Russa in 1872 and for eight years this city was a permanent resting place for him and his family. In the museum are the original things, documents and books that belonged to the writer. In this house, the novels The Brothers Karamazov, The Possessed, and other works were written

In memory of Dostoevsky, Grushenka's House, an architectural monument of the 19th century, located at Glebov Street (formerly the embankment of Pereretitsa), has also been preserved here. The name was given by Agrippina Menshova, who lived in it, which became the prototype of "Grushenka Svetlova" in Dostoyevsky's novel "The Brothers Karamazov."

An interesting landmark of the city is the Muravyov Fountain, opened in 1854. It is a ten-meter column of mineral water that hits directly from the ground.
