EspañolFIRE OF MOSCOW (1547)
:''For other similar events, see Fire of Moscow''
The Fire of Moscow (1547) destroyed sections of Moscow which had been built almost entirely of wood. The fire began on June 21, several months after Ivan IV was officially crowned the first Tsar of Russia. The fire displaced about 25,000 households and killed about 1,700 people, causing wide-spread poverty. The Muscovites put the blame on the tsar's maternal relatives from the Glinski family. A rebellion began and Yuri Glinski was stoned. Yuri Glinski's brother, Mikhail Glinski attempted to escape to Lithuania but failed. The rebellion resulted in the fall of the Glinski party and eventually strengthened the positions of the young tsar.
