GEORGE DOLGORUKIY. - First prince of Suzdal, a city of central Russia, who lived in the 11th century. With him the settlement of Moscow, which later became the capital of modern Russia, begins to exist alongside Kiev, the principal city of the Kingdom of Rus. In 1047 the original city comprised only a part of the present-day Kremlin. G. always supported the Byzantinophile tendencies, in opposition to Prince Jajslav of Kiev, who, driven by autonomist tendencies, had the monk Clement of Smolensk elected to that metropolis without any longer recourse to the Byzantine patriarch. The Byzantinophile tendency became traditional in the principality of Moscow and therefore in the whole of ancient Russia properly so called.
