  Kideksha (Russian: Кидекша) is a village (selo) in Seletskoye Rural Settlement, Suzdalsky District of Vladimir Oblast, Russia, located at the confluence of the Kamenka and Nerl Rivers, 4 kilometers (2.5 mi) east of Suzdal.
  
  The settlement was founded before the Church of Boris and Gleb was built in 1152 by Yuri Dolgoruky.
  
  Kideksha used to be a town, but, after having been destroyed during the Mongol invasion of Rus, it degraded to a small village.
  
  Kideksha is a part of the Golden Ring of Russia and, since 1992, is one of Russia's World Heritage Sites (see White Monuments of Vladimir and Suzdal).
