Dorogobuzh (Russian: Дорогобу́ж; Polish: Dorohobuż) is a historic town and the administrative center of Dorogobuzhsky District in Smolensk Oblast, Russia, straddling the Dnieper River and located 125 kilometers (78 mi) east of Smolensk, the administrative center of the oblast.

History

First mentioned in 1150, it was established as a fortress defending eastern approaches to Smolensk.[citation needed] In 1508, Vasily III sent Italian masters to build a wooden fort there. Dorogobuzh was ravaged during the Time of Troubles, with its population reduced to ten people in 1614. Between 1611 and 1668, it belonged to Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth as a part of Smolensk Voivodeship. Subsequently, it survived other foreign invasions and numerous fires.
