Ruby is a small incorporated town in Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana, United States, located about 60 miles northeast of the state capital of Baton Rouge and adjacent to the Mississippi border, and characterized by a quiet rural atmosphere and a deep community culture. Sparsely populated, with fewer than 500 people according to the most recent census, the town dates back to the late 1800s and, with its early rise to an agricultural economy (e.g., cotton and soybean farming), still retains the rustic look of a traditional Southern town. The town's landmarks include a century-old community church and several Victorian-style homes, and the annual fall "Ruby Family Day," which blends elements of local Cajun and Creole culture, has become a shared memory for the surrounding residents. Despite its small size, Ruby epitomizes the serenity of the American countryside with its simple folk and distinctive Louisiana southern flavor.

As a manufacturing center in the Volga Valley, it is known for the Rybinsk Shipyard (one of the oldest shipbuilding companies in Russia) and the automotive industry, and is one of the core production sites of the GAZ Group. Historically, Rybinsk has been a busy shipping and trading hub and was officially established as a city in 1944. With a population of around 200,000, the city has a strong industrial base, while the natural landscape along the Volga River and the Soviet-era architecture combine industrial dynamism with a cultural heritage.
