Donskoy Monastery (Russian: Донско́й монасты́рь) is a major monastery in Moscow, founded in 1591[1] in commemoration of Moscow's deliverance from the threat of an invasion by the Crimean Khan Kazy-Girey. Commanding a highway to the Crimea, the monastery was intended to defend southern approaches to the Moscow Kremlin.
