Owner's Description

Purchased on 10/30/2011. Prince Yuri I Dolgorukiy (In Russian translated as "Yuri the long-armed"), also known as George I of Russia, was the founder of Moscow and a key figure in the transition of political power from Kiev to Vladimir-Suzdal following the death of his elder brother Mstislav the Great. He reigned as Velikiy Kniaz (Grand Prince) of Kiev from September 1149 to April 1151 and then again from March 1155 to May 1157. The statue pictured was designed by sculptor Sergei Orlov and was erected in 1954 on Moscow's Tverskaya Street, the city's principal avenue, in front of the Moscow municipality. His patron saint, Saint George, appears on the coat of arms of Moscow slaying a dragon, and to this day remains a symbol of Russia (and has been included on many Russian coins across many years).
