Taganrog

Taganrog (Russian: Таганро́г, IPA: [təgʌn'rok]) is a seaport city located on Taganrog Bay in Rostov Oblast, Russia. It is located on the Sea of Azov, a northern part of the Black Sea. Population: 245,120 (2021 Census).

The first Russian Navy base, Taganrog was officially founded by Peter I The Great on September 12, 1698. Its rise and development are closely connected with the great and dramatic history of the Russian Empire, with its century-long struggle for the access to southern seas. Here for the first time, fireworks in honor of Azov Russian Navy's victories created by Peter the Great took place. As "The Birthplace of Anton Chekhov," Taganrog offers remarkable sites dedicated to childhood and youth of the Russian playwright and short-story writer.
