After Yuri Dolgorukiy's death, his son Andrey refused to stay in Kiev and made Vladimir on the Klyazma his capital. He built the Dormition Cathedral and the Golden Gate there. Andrey brought the revered icon of the Mother of God from Kiev to Vladimir. The shift of power to Vladimir-Suzdal created the core from which Muscovy later grew.
