    (Translated by Google) Having survived difficult times and different leaders, the bronze monument to Yuri Dolgoruky, is a symbol of the capital. Monument to the founder of the city, in the image of an epic hero war horse - the work of the sculptor S. Orlov and architect V. Andreev. The brightest sample Soviet art, built almost 7 years. The monument has a complicated history and mixed assessments ... Somehow, even Khrushchev scored ... did not like that "economy" at a stallion of a rather large size and too naturalistic and he ordered fix this "disgrace" ... On the next day, "scribbled" - time the leader ordered ... Nowadays it is one of the main sites for City Day celebrations. Well and Yuri Dolgoruky, still vigorously with his right hand, commands and as if says: "Here be the city ..." In the left hand the prince has a shield with the image of St. George the Victorious. This saint is considered the intercessor of Moscow. Years go by ... And now, with Moscow can hardly be imagined without this symbolic monument. (Original) Пережив сложные времена и разных вождей,бронзовый монумент Юрию Долгорукому, является символом столицы. Памятник основателю города,в образе былинного богатыря на боевом коне - работа скульптора С.Орлова и архитектора В.Андреева. Ярчайший образец советского искусства, строили почти 7 лет. У памятника непростая история и неоднозначные оценки... Как-то, даже отличился Н.Хрущёв... Ему не понравилось,что "хозяйство" у жеребца довольно крупного размера и чересчур натуралистично и он приказал исправить это "безобразие"... На следующий день "оскопили" - раз вождь велел... В наше время - это одна из главных площадок для празднования Дня города. Ну,а Юрий Долгорукий,по прежнему энергично правой рукой, повеливает и словно говорит : "Здесь быть городу..." В левой руке у князя - щит с изображением Георгия Победоносца. Этот святой считается заступником Москвы. Идут годы... И сейчас, с трудом можно представить Москву,без этого символичного монумента.

    One of the interesting things to see along Tverskaya Street s the Monument to Yury Dolgoruky, located at Tverskaya Square across from the Mayor of Moscow Building. This is a bronze equestrian statue created in 1954. It depicts Yury Dolgoruky, the 12th century founder of the city of Moscow as a strong and fearless warrior dressed for battle. His horse is stomping with its front right foot, while Yury looks downward and to his right, hand pointed in that direction. It is a neat themed statue of this historically important individual in Russian history that is well worth spending a few minutes to enjoy if you find yourself at Tverskaya Square and enjoy viewing monuments and statues during your travels.

    (Translated by Google) One of the most iconic Moscow places: a square, a monument, the entire spatial complex allows you to perceive Tverskaya. The building of the City Hall, opposite the monument, in fact forms a single complex of perception of the historically and administratively significant place of the capital. There is catering. Parking is bad. They are not here. But there is a fountain, benches, a kind of a peculiar atmosphere. Behind the prince's back is an inconspicuous monument to V.I.Lenin from Tverskaya, and the building of the Institute of Marxism-Leninism (until 1992). Since 2011, the square has been turning into a platform for thematic events and celebrations almost every month. (Original) Одно из самых знаковых московских мест: площадь, памятник, весь пространственный комплекс позволяет воспринять Тверскую. Здание мэрии, что напротив монумента, по сути формирует единый комплекс восприятия исторически и административно знакового места столицы. Общепит есть. С парковками плохо. Их здесь нет. Но есть фонтан, скамейки, некоторым образом своеобразная атмосфера. За спиной у князя неприметный с Тверской памятник Ленину В.И., и здание Института марксизма-ленинизма (до 1992 года). Начиная с 2011 года площадь почти ежемесячно превращается в площадку для тематических мероприятий, празднования событий.

    (Translated by Google) The monument to Yuri Dolgoruky is a symbol of Moscow, one of the most recognizable monuments. The statue of the founder of the Russian capital stands in the center of the city, on Tverskaya Square. Opposite the monument itself, the building of the Moscow City Hall is located. The monument is very well and detailed. If you liked the review, put your thumbs up !!! (Original) Памятник Юрию Долгорукому – символ Москвы, один из самых узнаваемых памятников. Статуя основателя столицы Российской стоит в центре города, на Тверской площади. Напротив самого памятника, расположено здание Московской мэрии. Памятник очень хорошо и детально проработан. Если понравился отзыв, ставь палец вверх!!!

    (Translated by Google) The monument to Yuri Dolgoruky is a sculptural monument to the "founder of the city" Moscow, the first Suzdal prince (later also the Grand Duke of Kiev). Installed in 1954 on Tverskaya Square in Moscow. (Original) Па́мятник Ю́рию Долгору́кому — скульптурный памятник «основателю города» Москва, первому суздальскому князю (впоследствии также Великому князю Киевскому). Установлен в 1954 году на Тверской площади в Москве.

  • 5/5 Stanislaw K. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) One of the historical symbols of the city, despite the fact that the monument was erected only in 1954 on Tverskaya Square, is located opposite the building of the Moscow City Hall (in the Soviet era - the building of the Moscow City Council), facing the building (the Tverskaya carriageway), the rch house with the Aragvi restaurant "(is he still alive?). Unlike Irina Antonova, I like it. (Original) Один из исторических символов города, несмотря на то, что памятник был установлен лишь в 1954 году на Тверской площади, находится напротив здания Мэрии Москвы (в советскую эпоху — здания Моссовета), лицом к зданию (проезжей части Тверской), рчдом с рестораном "Арагви" (жив ли еще?). В отличие от Ирины Антоновой, мне нравится.

    Yuri Vladimirovich Dolgorukiy (Юрий Владимирович Долгорукий, 1090 - 1157) - the prince of Rostov-Suzdal and the grand prince of Kiev, the 6th son of Vladimir Vsevolodovich Monomakh. Traditionally considered the founder of Moscow. From 1113 (according to another version, from 1096) to the end of his life, Yuri ruled the Rostov-Suzdal principality. From 1132, he defended his interests and brothers in the south, fighting for Pereyaslavl, and then for Kiev (for which he received the nickname Dolgorukiy).

    (Translated by Google) The question of the exact date of birth of Yuri Dolgoruky is still open. According to the historian V.N. Tatishchev, the date of birth should be considered the year 1090. The father of Yuri Dolgoruky was Vladimir Monomakh. Initially, his father sent Yuri along with his younger brother Mstislav to reign in Rostov. But since 1117, he began to rule in these lands alone, and from 1125 he transferred his capital to Suzdal. It is believed that the whole life of Yuri was filled with intrigue, cruel feuds. Chroniclers mention that the main traits of his character were cunning and ambition, but he was not deprived of courage either. (Original) Вопрос точной даты рождения Юрия Долгорукого до сих пор остается открытым. По версии историка В. Н. Татищева, датой рождения следует считать 1090 год. Отцом Юрия Долгорукого был Владимир Мономах. Первоначально отец отправил Юрия вместе с младшим братом Мстиславом княжить в Ростов. Но с 1117 года он стал править в этих землях единолично, а с 1125 года переносит свою столицу в Суздаль. Принято считать, что вся жизнь Юрия была наполнена интригами, жестокими междоусобицами. Летописцы упоминают, что основными чертами его характера были хитрость и честолюбие, но и храбростью он тоже не был обделен.
