THE RURIK DYNASTY. (2019) Episode 4. In Russian with English subtitles.
Conquest and the struggle of power, victory and defeat, love and betrayal, the rise of culture and the ashes of conflagration - these are just some of the elements of the Rurik dynasty. Founded by Viking/Varangian prince, the Rurik dynasty ruled the territory of Kievan Rus from 882, and later, several neighbouring principalities including the Grand Duchy of Moscow. Their rule continued until 1610 and the Time of Troubles, after which they were succeeded by the Romanovs. Throughout their rule, the Rurikids fortified, defended and expanded their territory - sometimes with fierce and terrifying battles, sometimes with reconciliation and peace treaties. Most importantly, however, it was under their rule that Russian culture developed, and the Russian nation emerged to become the vast transcontinental and multi-ethnic state that exists today.
Episode 4 recounts the reigns Yuri Vladimirovich (Dolgoruky) and Andrey Yurievich (Bogolyubsky).
Yuri Dolgoruky went down in history as the founder of the future capital of the Russian state, as the prince who laid the foundation for the dynasty of Vladimir-Suzdal and Moscow rulers, the organizer of North-Eastern Rus', which became the core of the future Great Russia. During the reign of Yuri, a distant outback began to gradually turn into one of the most highly developed regions of Rus'. But Dolgoruky all his life yearned for the throne of Kiev, and when he received it, the people of Kiev considered him a stranger and a usurper, and soon he died from poison.
During Andrey Bogolyubsky's reign, the most powerful in Rus' was his own principality - Vladimir-Suzdal. He changed the political system, making not Kiev, but Vladimir, a great princedom. Relying not on the tribal boyars, but on the younger combatants, he laid the foundations of the future nobility. Under him, the famous Vladimir churches were built, which became masterpieces of world architecture. In the 18th century, he was canonized as a faithful.
