The Grand Duchy of Moscow, a pivotal entity in Russian history, has been shaped by numerous significant events and influential figures. One such event was Stephen Bathory's conquest of Pskov, which marked the expansion of Moscow's territory. Another notable figure is Boris Godunov and his family, depicted in a captivating painting by Boris Vasilievich Zvorykin in 1927. Religion played a crucial role during this era as well, with Metropolitan Theognostus of Kiev being an important spiritual leader. His image can be found on a Russian icon from the early 20th century. Marriage alliances were also instrumental in shaping the Grand Duchy. The union between Ivan III and Sophia Palaiologina in 1472 solidified ties between Russia and Byzantium. This historical moment was beautifully captured by Boris Artemyevich Chorikov in his 1836 illustration. Exploration and travel accounts shed light on the vastness of Moscow's domain. Christian Lorenzen Rothgiesser illustrated Samara, Tsaritsyn, and Kozmodemyansk based on his travels to the Great Duke of Muscovy. To truly understand the origins of Moscow as a city-state, one must delve into its past architecture. Appolinari Mikhaylovich Vasnetsov's depiction showcases wooden structures that once adorned the city during the 14th century. Cultural artifacts like Pernach (a traditional weapon) further highlight Russia's rich heritage as seen through illustrations from "Antiquities of the Russian State" published between 1849-1853. Moving forward to more recent times, early twentieth-century photographs capture glimpses into daily life within Moscow itself. Bookshops lining Christ the Saviour Bridge provide insight into intellectual pursuits while images depict bridges like All Saints Bridge serving as vital transportation links within this bustling metropolis. Nikolskaya Street housed print yards, a testament to Moscow's thriving publishing industry during this era.
