STARAYA RUSSA

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 794 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
STARAYA RUSSA , a town of Russia, in the government of
Novgorod
 , 58 in. S. of the city of
Novgorod
 , on the river Polista, by means of which and Lake Ilmen it is brought into steamer communication with St '
Petersburg
 . Pop., 15,234. Brine springs on the
east
  of the town were used as a source for the
supply
  of salt as
late
  as 1865; at present they' are used only as
mineral
  waters (temperature 51- 54 F.), having a great

resemblance to those of
Kreuznach
  in Germany. Some thousands of visitors resort to them every summer, and owing to this circumstance Staraya Russa is better built and better kept than any other town in the government of Novgorod. The inhabitants are supported chiefly by the summer visitors. There is a
trade
  in rye, oats and flax shipped to St
Petersburg
 . The name of Staraya Russa occurs in Russian annals as far back as 1167. It belonged to the republic of Novgorod, and suffered continually in the wars between Russia, Lithuania and
Livonia
 . It was afterwards annexed to Moscow.
