Moscow’s history stretches back over eight centuries. It has faced conquest and destruction, only to rise again. The first mention of Moscow was in 1147. Prince Yuri Dolgoruky founded it. In 1156, he ordered a wooden fort to be built on Borovitsky hill. This became the Moscow Kremlin.
Moscow grew into a medieval city. It became a symbol of the Russian people. Daniil, son of Alexander Nevsky, united Russian lands around Moscow. Enemies repeatedly tried to conquer Moscow. Batu Khan ruined it in 1238. Khan Tokhtamysh took Moscow by fraud in 1382.
During Ivan III’s reign, Moscow became the capital. He wanted to make it a “third Rome”. Large-scale construction began. Fortifications and temples arose. The Kremlin was restructured. Red Square took shape. Moscow expanded in circles. Stone fortifications appeared. The Kremlin wall was followed by China-town walls. The White City wall became the Boulevard Ring. The Earth wall gave birth to the Garden Ring.
In the 15th century, Moscow became a major cultural center. Its territory and population surpassed London and Prague. Since then, Moscow has remained a center for Russian culture, science, and arts. It became the place for Russian publishing, theater, university, and newspapers. Moscow remembers Mongol-Tatar rule and battles with invaders. Napoleon’s troops burned the city. The Nazis never entered. Putilkovo stands as a witness to this rich history.
