Dès son origine, elle a été conçue comme une ville libre et ouverte tout en servant de capitale à la Nouvelle Russie. Construite à l'européenne par des architectes français, elle a vu d'emblée s'installer différentes communautés nationales, et Pouchkine a pu dire à juste titre qu'on y «respire l'Europe».

Néanmoins, Odessa reste d'un point de vue géographique «doublement périphérique» par rapport à la Russie et à l'Europe. Tout au long du XIXe siècle, on y «exile» les intellectuels exclus des capitales de l'Empire des tsars. La ville prospère, mais de Paris, Londres ou Berlin, elle paraît en marge de l'Europe urbaine et culturelle. En 1847, Balzac ne vit lui-même «de la frontière européenne à Odessa qu'un même champ de la Beauce». Le triomphe de la révolution bolchevique introduira une véritable coupure dans l'histoire de la ville et de ses relations avec l'Europe.

Par un jeu de miroirs, le cas d'une ville-carrefour comme Odessa, lieu emblématique d'une Europe multiculturelle et multinationale, dit quelque chose du sens multiple de l'Europe, témoigne de ses déchirements et de ses conflits intérieurs. Elle permet aussi de mieux cerner les contenus de la civilisation européenne et de préciser les contours du Vieux Continent.

The archaeological site of Staraya Ryazan, the former capital of the Grand Principality of Ryazan, belongs to one of the most investigated cities of Medieval Rus'. Founded in the early 11th century, it existed almost 200 years before it was destroyed by the Mongols in 1237 as one of the first capitals of the Kievan Rus. Staraya Ryazan is situated 260 kilometres to the southeast of Moscow on the high right bank of the Oka River. The only objects preserved above ground are the 2 kilometer long remains of a rampart with a ditch. Originally the entire rampart surrounded an area of 65 hectares. The ensemble of Staraya Ryazan is divided into three parts. The first part is represented by the northern peak, where a small settlement founded by Finno-Ugrian tribes existed until the 8th century, when they left this territory. In the early 11th century the colonists invading from Southern Rus' and the East-Slavic tribe of the Krivichi built a fortified settlement, the so called northern hillfort, as an outpost against the steppe nomads as well as a safeguard point for the Oka valley. In the mid 12th century the sons of Yaroslav Svyatoslavich divided the principality of Murom-Ryazan and Staraya Ryazan became the capital of its own Grand Principality. In its course the territory of the city was enlarged and the ramparts of the southern hillfort were built. Thus began a second wave when settlers and skilled workmen as well as traders and clericals came to Staraya Ryazan. All administrative centres moved to the southern hillfort. This arrangement existed until the invasion of the Mongols in 1237. In the fortified settlement there are practically no houses. Accordingly archaeological investigations are very auspicious. The northern hillfort is a stratified site. Almost all chronological periods of the city can be investigated there. The cultural layers can be associated with the phases of the fortifications. On the other side, the southern hillfort has no stratigraphy. But there can be found a lot of rich artefacts which are related with the prime of the city, when it was the capital. It appears that Staraya Ryazan as a medieval Russian capital city started and developed in an atypical way. The city was founded in a territory without any population. Therefore Staraya Ryazan has no roots in the tribal structures of the period before the establishment of the Kievan state. The city is one of the youngest capitals of all Russian principalities but it was the first to lose its political, economic and cultural importance after the invasion by the Mongols in 1237. Recent investigations have concentrated on the stratigraphy, structure and arrangement of the city. Furthermore the former inhabitants, the social status, and the political connections remain to be characterized by future archaeological investigations. Even though until now only six percent of the fortified settlement has been investigated, contemporary techniques in archaeological research here promise new insights into the life of capital cities of medieval Rus'.
