Its first linen manufactures were established in 1755; but in ISoo its population did not exceed 1500. In 1882 it had 19,56o inhabitants, and 18,968 in 1897. Tanneries, especially for the preparation of sheepskinswidely renowned throughout Russiastill maintain their importance, although this industry has migrated to a
great
  extent to the country districts. The cathedral (1799) is a large building, with five gilt cupolas. Nearly every
