DMITROV - the Younger Brother of Moscow

by Anya_D - last update: Jan 19, 2005

One of the oldest Russian cities...

Welcome to my Dmitrov page! This city is called "the younger brother of Moscow, and there is a good reason for it. First, the city was founded only seven years after Moscow, in 1154! Second, Moscow and Dmitrov have the same founder: Prince Yuri Dolgoruki!

The city was founded in the year when the Prince's son, Dmitry, was born. So, the new city was named after his son - Dmitrov, which means "belonging to Dmitry".
