Rostov-on-Don is an important administrative, industrial, scientific and cultural centre in the south of Russia. It is the main city of the Rostov Region, one of the largest and most economically developed regions of Russia. It is also the capital of the Southern Federal District, the place where there is the office of the Representative of the President of the Russian Federation.

Rostov was founded on the 15-th of December, 1749 and at first it was mean to be a fortress. It was named after the metropolitan Dmitry Rostovsky and its

functions were to defend the Southern borders of Russia against the numeric enemies. Rostov grew rapidly thanks to its advantageous geographic position. Being the largest fortress in the South of Russia the town has always played a significant role in its policy and economy. Apart from being a major port, where the vessels of Russian, Armenian, Greek, Italian and Turkish merchants arrived, it was an important strategic point.

Rostov-on-Don is situated on the right and left banks of the river Don. Rostov stands on the border line between Europe and Asia and one can move from one continent to the other simply crossing the bridge over the Don (for example, going to Bataysk).

Rostov was awarded with the order of Lenin in 1970 for a great success in the development of numerous branches of economy and industry and especially of the agricultural machine-building. In February 1982 it got another order the Order of the Great Patriotic War-for courage displayed by the citizens during the war years as well as cultural and economic achievements during the post-war period.

After the construction of the Volga-Don Shipping Canal in 1952 Rostov became a port of five seas: the Black Sea, the Azov Sea, the Caspian Sea, the White Sea and the Baltic Sea. Modern river-to-sea-going vessels and imposing looking ships make regular voyages from Rostov to the central part of Russia and to many Mediterranean ports.
