The First Records of Moscow

A wonderful city! This is the impression of any person who has visited Moscow and saw its architecture, theatres, museums, cathedrals and hotels. The history of the town contains many legends. According to one of them, Moscow was founded by King Mosokh, the grandson on the biblical Noah. On the crest of a high hill, on the spot where the current Kremlin is situated, he founded a "small town" and settled there. His wife's name was Kwa, his son was called Ya, and his daughter was called Vuza. The names of the Moscow and the Yauza rivers could probably stem from these names.

The most popular legend says that Moscow was founded by Yury Dolgoruky, the prince of Suzdal and the son of Vladimir Monomakh, the prince of Kiev.
