| Description | |
In 1147 a Russian chronicler wrote, that Prince Yury, nicknamed Dolgoruky (Longarmed ), invited his relative to see him in Moscov. It was a little castle, lost in forests. Nobody could imagine that in 1156 this castle will become a fortress, in the 13th century - a town and in the 15th century - the Capital of the Russian state.
And foreigners will call our country Moscowia by name of its capital. Through the 15th and even more in the 16th century the active process of uniting the Russian lands and strengthening the centralised states continued. May be it was the will of the God, but Moscow Princes showed themselves as wise, clever, brave and talented rulers. It is unnecessary to prove it, simply to remember the most important events of this period: 1480-final over throw of the Tartar-Mongol yoke. 1502 - the collapse of the Golden Horde . 1523 - the abolition of the appanage system. These had a favourable influence on the development of the young state and helpedto broaden trade contacts and establish connection with foreign trading guests. Ivan III, Vasily III and especially Ivan IV nicknamed the Terrible, flavoured Moscow.
On the basis of the artistic traditions of the Vladimir - Suzdal culture, Moscow architects tackled new tasks: they built large architectural ensembles - a worthy embodiment of the might of the United Rus. This was the period that saw the construction of the new and splendid ensemble of the stone Moscow Kremlin with its famous cathedral of the Dormition, the Annunciation and the Archangel Michael, the Bell Tower of Ivan the Great, the fortified walls and towers; and also palaces, churches outside Moscow; Monasteries and homes of prominent boyars. In the late 17th and early 18th century changes of enormous historical significance took place in Russia. The early 18th century was marked by the political and economical reforms of Peter the Great. This tsar, later called the Emperor, transferred the capital from Moscow to St. Petersburg.
And Moscow till 1918 lost its first role and became only the second city in the country. The most famous and remarkable place in Moscow is, of course, the Kremlin, the very heart of Russian history, art and culture, the symbol of its heroism and glory. Each building in the Kremlin is a living witness of past centuries, a vivid page of history. Those massive walls can look back on devastating fires, outburst of the peoples wrath and great revolutionary battles. Now in the Kremlin there are many museums, which contain collection of unique works by Russian masters. Look intently at some of their masterpieces and recollect that Russian and Moscow history has begun ten centuries ago and lasts now, vivid and beautiful. |
