Nikolo-Shartomsky Monastery
The Shartoma Monastery of St. Nicholas (Николо-Шартомский монастырь, ''Nikolo-Shartomsky Monastery'') is a Russian Orthodox monastery in the village of Vvedenyo near Shuya in the Ivanovo Region of Russia. It takes its name from the small Shartoma (or Shakhma) river. It is the largest monastery in the region. The monastery has been known since the mid-15th century. It was looted by Poles in 1619 and ravaged by brigands in 1624. Work on the surviving five-domed katholikon (main church) began after a fire in 1645. At that time the monastery was transferred to its current location near the confluence of the Molokhta and Teza Rivers. The new location was so advantageous for trade that an annual fair sprang up near the monastery, attracting merchants from all over Zalesye and Upper Volga regions. The second surviving church was completed and consecrated in 1678. Before Catherine II's secularisation reform, the Shartoma Monastery boasted a far-flung network ...

Cultural Heritage Monuments In Ivanovo Oblast
Culture () is an umbrella term which encompasses the social behavior, institutions, and norms found in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts, laws, customs, capabilities, and habits of the individuals in these groups.Tylor, Edward. (1871). Primitive Culture. Vol 1. New York: J.P. Putnam's Son Culture is often originated from or attributed to a specific region or location. Humans acquire culture through the learning processes of enculturation and socialization, which is shown by the diversity of cultures across societies. A cultural norm codifies acceptable conduct in society; it serves as a guideline for behavior, dress, language, and demeanor in a situation, which serves as a template for expectations in a social group. Accepting only a monoculture in a social group can bear risks, just as a single species can wither in the face of environmental change, for lack of functional responses to the change.

Buildings And Structures In Ivanovo Oblast
A building, or edifice, is an enclosed structure with a roof and walls standing more or less permanently in one place, such as a house or factory (although there's also portable buildings).

A kolkhoz ( rus, колхо́з, a=ru-kolkhoz.ogg, p=kɐlˈxos) was a form of collective farm in the Soviet Union.

These were the two components of the socialized farm sector that began to emerge in Soviet agriculture after the October Revolution of 1917, as an antithesis both to the feudal structure of impoverished serfdom and aristocratic landlords and to individual or family farming.
