Yury Dmitrievich (26 November 1374, Pereslavl-Zalessky — 5 June 1434), also known as George II of Moscow, Yury of Zvenigorod and Jurij Zwenihorodski, was the second son of Dmitri Donskoi. He was the Duke of Zvenigorod and Galich from 1389 until his death.
Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev.
He died in 1364 of the plague and Zvenigorod was once again returned to Moscow. In 1382 Zvenigorod was attacked by Khan Tokhtamysh of the Golden Horde during his devastating raid of Russian lands. Dmitry Donskoy's son Yury became the third Prince of Zvenigorod in 1389.
