Statue of Yuriy Dolgorukiy, Moscow
Statue of Yuriy Dolgorukiy, Moscow, Bronze equestrian statue in Tverskaya Square, Russia
The bronze monument depicts Prince Yuriy Dolgorukiy mounted on horseback, wearing medieval armor and extending his right arm toward Moscow City Hall.
The statue, erected in 1954, commemorates the prince who established Moscow as a settlement during a documented meeting with the Prince of Novgorod in 1147.
The monument represents the foundation of Moscow through its detailed pedestal ornaments featuring patterns from ancient Russian architecture and Slavic mythology.
Located steps from Tverskaya Metro station, the statue includes wheelchair access ramps and serves as a central meeting point in the Tverskoy district.
The statue's creation involved a complex selection process at Stalin's request, with sculptor Orlov receiving 5.5 million rubles to complete the work at Mytishchi Plant.
