The city of Tambov

The city of Tambov was founded by order of Tsar Mikhail Fyodorovich Romanov in 1636 by the state administrator and Shatsk voivode Roman Fyodorovich Boborykin as a stronghold of the Muscovite state on the territory of the “Wild Field”. Tambov became the first provincial city in Russia to have its own newspaper. The Kazan Monastery in Tambov has a 107‑meter‑high bell tower, which is the second‑tallest such structure in Russia.

The city of Kotovsk

Kotovsk is home to Russia's only tumbler factory, where these toys are made using a unique technique. The head and body of the doll are cut out of the material as a whole and then attached to each other. In addition to classic tumblers, the Tambov region also produces tumblers in the form of bears, hares, and other animals.

The city of Michurinsk

Michurinsk is a garden city and the apple capital of Russia. In 2003, Michurinsk became the first agricultural science city in Russia.
