Uglich is a town on the River Volga about 136 miles north of Moscow, Russia. A local tradition dates the town's origin back to 937. It was first documented in 1148 as Ugliche Pole (Corner Field). The town's name is thought to allude to the turn the Volga makes nearby.

His son Dimitry was murdered in Uglich in 1591, and the brilliant red Church of St. Dimitry on the Blood was built to honour the slain young prince.		MV Lomonosov at Uglich
