Moscow…
How deep this world
Touches the Russian heart!
How much it means!
These are the immortal lines of Pushkin’s poem, well known to every citizen of Moscow since school. No matter how often you read them, they never lose their beauty. It is probably the best way to express those feelings that one might have thinking about Moscow.
The foundation of the city
The capital city appeared where the Moscow River meets the Negilinnay River. Archeologists say settlements on the territory of Moscow appeared thousands years ago. According to legends, the great duke Yuri Vladimirivich Dolgoruky invited duke Svyatoslav Igorevich (from “Slovo o polku Igoreve”) to the site of current-day Moscow and they had a feast, after which the city was founded.
Moscow opened trade routes to Oka and Volga to everyone from Russia’s northern and southern territories, from Ryazan and Smolensk, and between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries Moscow became a dominant city - the symbol of Russian people.
The first Duke of Moscow was Vladimir Vsevolodovich(1194-1228), who inherited Moscow from his father Vsevolod III. He didn’t do anything of note.

Moscow in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries
The forefather of the dynasty of Moscow Dukes was a son of Alexander Nevsky – Daniil Alexandrovich. He started to gather piece of land around Moscow. And very soon became the territorial center of Russia. In 1326 the residence of Russian metropolitans (orthodox bishops) was moved from Tver to Moscow - an event of a great importance.
There were numerous attacks on Moscow. In 1382 the tatar khan Tohtamysh occupied Moscow. 24 thousand citizens were killed, and the Kremlin was burned to the ground. In 1382 Moscow was destroyed by a fire. Since that time chronicles started mentioning a ‘Kreml’ (Kremlin) which was made out of wood and stone and looked like that until 1485.
