Yuri Vladimirovich, nicknamed Dolgoruky (1090s - 1157) - Prince of Rostov-Suzdal and Grand Prince of Kiev, 6th son of Vladimir Vsevolodovich Monomakh. Traditionally considered the founder of Moscow.
From 1113 (according to another version, from 1096) until the end of his life, Yuri ruled the Rostov-Suzdal Principality.
From 1132, he defended his interests and those of his brothers in the south, fighting for Pereyaslavl, and then for Kyiv (for which he probably received the nickname Dolgoruky).
