Tutayev

Before 1918, the town was called Romanov-Borisoglebsk ({{lang|ru|Рома́нов-Борисогле́бск}}); the Bolshevik government of the USSR renamed it Tutayev, after a Red Army officer.{{cn|date=June 2023}} Until 1822, when an order of the Tsar united them, there were two separate towns: Romanov, founded in the late-14th century, and Borisoglebsk, established in the 15th century. The right bank of the town is still referred to by locals as the "Borisoglebsk side", and the left as the "Romanov side".{{citation needed|date=December 2012}}

The majority of the population lives on the Borisoglebsk side, on the right bank of the river. The areas of town nearest to the Volga's right bank have many old wooden houses and historical buildings —including the Cathedral of the Resurrection— but further away from the river, Soviet-era apartment buildings predominate. There is no bridge across the Volga in Tutayev, so people have to use a ferry or, alternatively, travel north to Rybinsk or south to Yaroslavl to cross.

Fossils of Early Triassic temnospondyls are known from Tutayev. Remains of Thoosuchus yakovlevi and Benthosuchus korobkovi were found in the Lower Olenekian deposits of this location.{{cite book|author=Novikov A.V.|year=2018|url=https://new.ras.ru/upload/iblock/7de/j85vtubof3mlf81izrqq9u9oh9eb5lrh.pdf|title=Early Triassic amphibians of Eastern Europe: evolution of dominant groups and peculiarities of changing communities|publisher=Moscow: RAS|page=323|lang=ru|isbn=978-5-906906-71-7}} {{cite web|url=https://new.ras.ru/upload/iblock/7de/j85vtubof3mlf81izrqq9u9oh9eb5lrh.pdf |title=Archive copy |date=2023-08-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231208092959/https://new.ras.ru/upload/iblock/7de/j85vtubof3mlf81izrqq9u9oh9eb5lrh.pdf |archive-date=December 8, 2023 }}
