considered to be the official date of Moscow’s birth. It was in 1147 when
Suzdalian Prince Yury Dolgoruky Картинка returning from his Novgorod Campaign invited his ally and relative
Svyatoslav Olgovich – a Novgorod-Seversky Prince – to Moscow, which was then a
small fortified settlement.

the city developed very quickly. At that time Moscow was a small frontier town
in Vladimir-Suzdalian principality.
In 12th-13th-centuries
Russia was a feudal state broken up into many independent principalities. The
history of those years is the history of bloody feuds between Russian
principalities and devastating incursion of tatar-mongol nomadic tribes.
Moscow became the centre of the
struggle against tatar-mongol invaders. Thanks to Moscow princes who pursued a
wise policy Moscow was withdrawn from Vladimir-Suzdalian principality and
became the capital of independent state and the residence of the ruling
princes.
