In the 9th century AD, the city marked the easternmost settlement of the
East Slavs in the land of the Finnic
Muromians. The Primary Chronicle mentions it as early as AD 862.[11] It is thus one of the oldest cities in Russia. Circa 900 AD, it was an important trading post from
Volga Bulgaria to the
Baltic Sea.
Between AD 1010 and AD 1393, it was the capital of a separate principality, whose rulers included Saint
Gleb, assassinated in AD 1015 and canonized in AD 1071, Saint Prince
Konstantin the Blessed, and
Saints Peter and Fevronia of Murom, subjects of an
opera by
Rimsky-Korsakov. It was believed to be the home town of the most celebrated East Slavic
epic hero,
Ilya Muromets. The town has a statue which shows Ilya holding the hilt of his sword in the left hand and a cross in the right.
On June 30, 1961, Murom was the site of a spontaneous protest and riot against the police and Soviet authorities, following the death in police custody of a senior factory foreman named Kostikov.[12]
Murom still retains many marks of antiquity. The Savior
monastery, one of the most ancient in Russia, was first chronicled in 1096, when
Oleg of Chernigov besieged it and killed
Vladimir Monomakh's son Izyaslav, who is buried there. In 1552, the monastery was visited by
Ivan the Terrible who commissioned a stone cathedral, which was followed by other churches.
The Trinity convent, where the relics of Sts. Peter and Fevronia are displayed, features a fine cathedral (1642–1643), Kazan church (1652), a bell-tower (1652), a wooden church of St. Sergius, and stone walls. It is rivaled by the Annunciation Monastery, founded in the reign of
Ivan the Terrible to house the relics of local princes and containing a cathedral from 1664. Two last-mentioned cathedrals, being probably the works of the same masters, have much in common with the Resurrection Church (1658) in the downtown. Quite different is the tent-like church of Sts. Cosmas and Damian, built in 1565 on the bank of the Oka to commemorate the Russian
conquest of Kazan.
