Siege Of Moscow (1439)

After defeating the troops of Vasily II in the Battle of Belyov, Ulugh Muhammad approached Moscow after a while. Vasily II left the city in the care of the voivodes, and he himself went to the Trans-Volga forests inaccessible to the Tatars. The defense of Moscow was entrusted to Yuri Patrikeevich, a native of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the brother-in-law of the Grand Duke. He proved himself a capable organizer.
