Yepifan

Yepifan (Russian: Епифань) is an urban locality (a work settlement) in Kimovsky District of Tula Oblast, Russia, located on the left bank of the Don River about 16 kilometers (9.9 mi) southeast of Kimovsk and 78 kilometers (48 mi) southeast of Tula, in the proximity of the Kulikovo Field.

[4] The people of Yepifan supported Ivan Bolotnikov during the Time of Troubles.

Peter the Great intended to connect the Volga and the Don Rivers through a system of waterways and sluices centred on Yepifan.

In the 19th century, Yepifan was the center of an uyezd famed for its annual fair.

The Neoclassical cathedral of St. Nicholas was consecrated in 1850 and remains the settlement's most important landmark.
