The grand prince ordered to execute the disrespectful boyar and on his lands founded a wooden city and called it Moskva-grad. First Moscow is mentioned on the pages of Ipatievskaya manuscript in 1147 when Suzdal prince Yuri Dolgoruky met there his ally prince Sviatoslav Olgovich of Novgorod-Seversky principality.
