1147 - The first mention in the Historical Chronicles is made about the city of Moscow, which was founded by Russian prince Yury Dolgoruky.
Eight centuries ago there were some successful negotiations finished and Yury Dolgoruky decided to make a huge feast to celebrate. On their way to Vladimir his troops stopped on Moskva River where there was only a few houses back then. They killed the owner, took his wife and daughters, and made a huge party on the Shore of Moskva River where the Kremlin is nowadays. That's how and why Moscow was first mentioned in the chronicles.
