Historical chronicles tells us that Yrui Dolgorukiy established an outpost called Moscow in 1147. Those records also tell us that he established a fort there by 1156.
This artist's rather fanciful conception depicts how Yuri Dolgorukiy's outpost may have appeared after he founded an outpost which became a fortified town (then the city) of Moscow.
