'''Borisoglebsky''' ({{langx|ru|Борисогле́бский}}) is an [[types of inhabited localities in Russia|urban locality]] (an [[urban-type settlement]]) and the [[administrative center]] of [[Borisoglebsky District, Yaroslavl Oblast|Borisoglebsky District]] of [[Yaroslavl Oblast]], [[Russia]], located on the [[Ustye River]], {{convert|16|km|sp=us}} from [[Rostov, Yaroslavl Oblast|Rostov]] and {{convert|77|km|sp=us}} southwest of [[Yaroslavl]]. Population: {{ru-census|p2010=5,646|p2002=5,957|p1989=6,327|punct=;}} 4,600 (1968).

The settlement's principal tourist attraction is the famous Borisoglebsky Monastery, now a museum. The monastery is named after Saints [[Boris and Gleb]]. The monastery was favored by [[Ivan the Terrible]] who personally supervised the construction of towered walls and bell-tower around an even more ancient [[cathedral]]. The only addition made to the monastery after Ivan's death is a superb carved [[barbican]] church, commissioned by the metropolitan Iona Sysoevich in the late 17th century.

In 2005, the statues of [[Alexander Peresvet|monk Peresvet]] (by [[Zurab Tsereteli]]) and of [[Prince Pozharsky]] were installed near the monastery walls.
