History of Moscow

As far back as the twelfth century Moscow was known as a small estate of Prince Yuri Dolgoruky: in 1156 it was walled, thus becoming a town, or rather a fortress on the bank of the Moskva river, then an important trade route. Its subsequent economic and political development was due largely to its favourable geographical position. The city was razed in the 13 century during the Tatar invasion and for many years the Muscovities had to pay tribute to the Tatar Khans, but toward the end of the 14 century the Russian people rose against these rulers and drove them away. It gradually grew stronger and became the capital of the new state of Moscow.

By the end of the 16 century, during the reign of Boris Godunov, Moscow had 3 walls with towers surrounding the Kremlin, the Kitai-Gorod and the White City.

Foreigners who visited Moscow in the 16 and 17 century expressed their delight with the picture squeness of the city, but noted the dirty streets and wretched wooden houses. At the beginning of the 18 century Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg which was founded by him, but Moscow continued to grow as a trading city. In 1812 after the invasion of Napoleon the city was destroyed by fire, but it was soon rebuilt. Moscow began to flourish by the middle of the 19 century.
