Kozelsk - the oldest city, founded by the Slavs, Vyatichi about 10 centuries ago. Twice it was burned, both times by the Tatar-Mongols. The first time on the orders of Khan Baty, besieging him for seven weeks. The second time more than 240 years after the order of Khan Ahmat. However, the Kozel residents endured all the hardships that fell to their lot. To spite their enemies, they restored the city after the first burning, and after the second. In 2009, on the orders of the President of the Russian Federation, Kozelsk was given the title of "City of Military Glory."
