Putin examines medieval prince relics
Russian President Vladimir Putin today, Thursday, unveiled the remains of Prince Dmitry Donskoy, who died in 1389, during a visit to his recently discovered relics in a tomb at the Cathedral of the Archangel in Moscow, located within the Kremlin complex. Donskoy is considered one of the most prominent figures in Russian history, having ruled the Principality of Moscow and Vladimir, contributed to building the first stone fortress of the Kremlin, and achieved significant victories over the Mongols. The Orthodox Church confirmed that the remains belonged to an adult man slightly over 180 cm tall, who died of natural causes between the ages of 35 and 45, consistent with historical sources. There had been speculation that the tomb was in a different location, but the recent discovery in a vault beside the southern wall has astonished researchers. This find is regarded as one of the most important recent archaeological discoveries shedding light on a key figure in Russian history.
