Situated on Lake Erie, the maritime border between the Ohio State and Canada, Cleveland bears the name of its founder – the hero of the American War of Independence General Moses Cleaveland.
Up to the Great Depression of the 1930s, Cleveland had been thought to be an industrial center and the city of millionaires, but currently it is trying to diversify its economy and concentrates on the development of major projects in the downtown.
Just like Volgograd, Cleveland is remarkable for its formidable cultural, ethnical and national diversity, manifested in a unique atmosphere in each of its districts.
The twinning relations between our cities were established in 1990. In May, Cleveland celebrates the Russian Diaspora Day.
