Kolomna, the monument to Dmitry Donskoy:

Dmitry Donskoy (1350-1389) - the Prince of Moscow from 1359 and Grand Prince of Vladimir  from 1363 to his death .

His nickname, Donskoy (i.e., "of the Don"), alludes to his great victory against the Tatars in the Battle of Kulikovo (1380), which took place on the Don River. He is venerated as a Saint in the Orthodox Church with his feast day on 19 May.
