On the right is a reference to: Dmitry Donskoy (1350–1389)—the victor of the Battle of Kulikovo (1380), who strengthened Moscow`s authority and weakened the power of the Golden Horde. Ivan III (1440–1505) – Grand Duke of Moscow, “the gatherer of Russian lands”, who finally overthrew the Horde dependence (1480) and laid the foundations of the centralized Russian state.
