KNOWLEDGE OF Kholm
Kholm is a town in the Novgorod Oblast of Russia, with the population of 4,300 (2003). It is situated on the Lovat River, 77 km north of Toropets and 93 km south-west of Staraya Russa.
The settlement was first noticed in 1144 as Kholm Pogost (literally: "a hill cemetery"). During the Middle Ages the town, then a seat of the Princes Kholmsky, withstood innumerable sieges by Lithuanians, Poles, and Swedes. In 1777 it was renamed into the uezd town of Kholmsk.
In the dense woods and impracticable swamps to the west from Kholm lies the deserted Rdeisky Monastery.
