- Historical city of Russia
Historical cities and settlements of Russia ( _ru. исторические города и поселения) are settlements of historical and archaeological importance in Russia.
The official definition of this status was decreed in the Soviet Union in May of 1970, when the first official list of 115 historical settlements was declared. It was confirmed in Russian SFSR in February of 1990, with a significantly expanded list of 426 cities/towns, 54 urban-type settlements, and 56 villages. On June 25, 2002 the federal law of Russia, #73-FZ , "On the Objects of Cultural Heritage (Cultural and Historical Monuments) of the Peoples of Russian Federation" confirmed this status for 478 settlements.

*Category II : historical cities of local importance, the legacy of which requires development of special reconstruction projects and multifactor conservation programmes.
*Category III : historical cities of local importance, the legacy of which makes them stand out of the rest of the list.
