The Golden Ring of Russia ( Russian : Золотое кольцо России , romanized : Zolotoye koltso Rossii ) unites old Russian cities of five Oblasts – usually excluding Moscow – as a well-known theme-route . The grouping is centred northeast of the capital in what was the north-eastern part of ancient Rus '. The ring formerly comprised the region known as Zalesye . The idea of the route and the term was created in 1967 by Soviet historian and essayist Yuri Bychkov , who published in Sovetskaya Kultura in November–December 1967 a series of essays on the cities under the heading: "Golden Ring". Bychkov was one of the founders of ВООПИК : the All-Russian Society for the Protection of Monuments of History and Culture (these letters in Romanized form are VOOPIK).
