For reference, "Muscovy", also known as the "Grand Duchy of Moscow", was a feudal state in what is now Russia. It was formed in the middle of the 14th century as a result of the strengthening of the Moscow principality. In the second half of the 15th century, a long internecine feudal war was going on in the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which ended in the victory of Vasily II (1524-1462). At that time, the territory of the Grand Duchy of Moscow was 430 thousand km², and the population was 3 million people. In the second half of the 15th century, the Grand Duchy of Moscow (Muscovy) became the main core of the unified Russian state.
