Tutayev

Russia / Jaroslavl / Tutayev /
 city, district center

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 as of 2020.
Before 1918, the town was called Romanov-Borisoglebsk (Рома́нов-Борисогле́бск); the Bolshevik government of the USSR renamed it Tutayev, after a Red Army officer. 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".
