In Ryazanskiy District, Laskovo brings together a local tradition and a specific monument: Peter and Fevronia are the focus of a distinctive cultural and historical theme here. When looking for a holiday rental, it is worth distinguishing this local connection from other destinations in the broader travel destination of Ryazan Oblast.
Peter and Fevronia in Laskovo
The village of Laskovo in Meshchera is considered the hometown of Fevronia, a healer who became the wife of the Prince of Murom. A sculpture of a couple stands in the village centre. The bronze monument to Peter and Fevronia was created by sculptor couple Polina and Boris Gorbunov in 2019. The story and the monument offer two different ways to explore the same cultural theme: a traditional connection with Fevronia and a work with a known year of creation.
On 8 July 2026, celebrations were held in Laskovo in memory of Princes Peter and Fevronia of Murom and to mark the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity. The occasion connects the names featured on the monument with a specific date in village life. Laskovo’s cultural focus can therefore be understood both through the permanent sculpture in the village centre and through this dated commemorative event.
Nature and trails in Ryazan Oblast

Mikhailov is home to the Museum of Mikhailov Lace at the folk art enterprise “Truzhenitsa”; in Kadom, the craft of Veniz developed.
