	Small Towns of Russia > Small Towns > Ivangorod
		The town of Ivangorod is located in Leningrad area on the eastern coast of the river of Narva.
		Northern war of 1700-1721 begun by Peter I was the struggle for the liberation from Swedish authority in the north-west of Russia and for an access to the Baltic sea.
		Ivangorod, as well as Koporje, Oreshek and Korela, lost its importance as an advanced post of Russia, as the border was removed far to the north and west.

	Historic and Art Museum Ivangorod Fortress
		The stronghold was considered to be a bridgehead of Narva united with the Narva Castle.
		Later on, in the 18th-19th centuries, Ivangorod, constituting the one whole with Narva, was developing according to the plan approved by Catherine II in 1784.
		The "Life of Ivangorod in the 19th-early 20th centuries" section of the exhibit shows such rarities as letters and documents related with famous writer Fyodor Dostoevsky and outstanding lexicographer Vladimir Dal', portraits of publisher Ol'khin and his wife (the middle 19th century) by Foma Aleksandrov, a student of Alexei Venetsianov etc.

		The main accent of this city is Ivangorod fortress.

	Ivangorod, Narva strengthen old ties, though crevice remains
		Nowadays Ivangorod residents are probably glad the Kremlin didn't grant their wish, but a single trip across the Narva River, which divides the two cities, can serve as a bitter reminder of the huge gap in living standards.
		If several years ago Ivangorod was last among the 29 towns located in Leningrad Oblast in terms of budget revenue per capita, then today it is among the top 10.
		But Ivangorod Deputy Mayor Aleksei Shanin said there were no plans for the construction of a new road and railway bridge at the border, despite Estonian claims that they are necessary for boosting and improving transit.

		The fortress-city of Ivangorod was once a proud outpost of Slavic might.
		If you look at what was done from the economic experts from imf from all the advice they had, they only focussed on macro economic level, so the level of restructuring that's been done has been basically zero.
		In Ivangorod, the only certainties are that life will get harder and the petition will fail.

		The textile factory "Krenholm Manufaktura", for example, while situated in Narva, built the apartment houses for its workers in Ivangorod, and the best living conditions were enjoyed not by the inhabitants of Narva or Ivangorod, but by the workers of this factory.
		The consumption structure of the Narva population is to a considerable degree formed in Ivangorod.
		It is worth mentioning here that the choice of citizenship for the people from both Narva and Ivangorod reflects neither their national loyalty nor their civil position, but rather new coping strategies developed in the context of the new border.

	BBC News \| From Our Own Correspondent \| A tale of two cities on Russia's border
		Politics in Ivangorod are dominated by the mayor, a stocky bulldog of a man, who rules his fiefdom like a medieval lord, and the town's bristling voice of opposition, Yuri Gordeyev.
		Ivangorod now pumps its effluent direct into the river that winds along the border and empties a few miles downstream into the Gulf of Finland.
		All that separates Ivangorod from Narva is the river - and now of course the border posts - but the two towns occupy different worlds.

		Ivangorod fortress was built in 1492 by Ivan III for protection from Livonian and Swedish forces.
		There is even a legend that it was built on the territory of a horse-skin cut into pieces.
		Several times both Narva and Ivangorod passed into the hands of the Russians and the Swedes.

		Russia's Ivangorod is separated from Estonia's Narva by the Narova river, and it's about the sole natural division line between the two.
		Ivangorod's debts were repeatedly offset by deliveries of Russian goods (primarily energy), or restructured, or forgiven outright.
		Ivangorod stayed without water for just two days: The city administration turned on four artesian water wells, located on Russian territory.

	The St. Petersburg Times - Opinion - Shift to a Better Life Starts In People's Heads
		One of the places mentioned was Ivangorod, located on the border with Estonia, whose citizens have a mentality that is quite different from that inherent in the rest of Russians, according to the department's staff.
		For this reason I can't rid myself of the impression that the mentality of the citizens of Ivangorod is not much different from that of people who live in other Russian cities of a similar size.
		But it would be wrong to say that all Ivangorod residents are so Soviet-minded that there is no hope of this place improving.
