		In 1612, the so-called national militia, gathered by a local merchant Kuzma Minin and commanded by Knyaz Dmitry Pozharsky expelled the Polish troops from Moscow, thus putting an end to the Time of Troubles and establishing the rule of the Romanov dynasty.
		The main square before the kremlin is named after Minin, and his remains are buried in the citadel.
		In the course of the following century, the city prospered commercially and was chosen by the Stroganovs (the wealthiest merchant family of Russia) as a base for their operations.

		Under the influence of the great nobles who had unsuccessfully opposed the election of Godunov, the general discontent took the form of hostility to him as a usurper, and rumours were heard that the late tsar's younger brother Dmitri, supposed to be dead, was still alive and in hiding.
		The throne was vacant, the great nobles quarrelling among themselves, the Catholic Poles in the Kremlin of Moscow, the Protestant Swedes in Novgorod, and enormous bands of brigands everywhere.
		The severity of the crisis produced a remedy, in the form of a patriotic rising of the nation under the leadership of a Nizhny Novgorod butcher (literally by profession) Kuzma Minin and a Rurikid Prince Pozharsky.

	New Holiday For Old Reasons (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		By the end of 1612, the militia had liberated Moscow, and in February 1613 the young Mikhail Romanov was elected Tsar, thus founding the dynasty that ruled Russia until 1917.
		Curiously, out of the whole history of the end of the Time of Troubles, Minin and Pozharsky’s militia and the rise of the Romanovs, the date that was chosen — Nov. 4 — despite still being disputed by historians, is as close to the old holiday as possible.
		However, in the early 19th century, when memories of the liberation of Moscow were reclaimed during the Napoleonic Wars, it was completely repainted, and emphasis shifted to the idea of an “organic unity” of the people — rejecting Western influences, overcoming internal tensions and emerging victorious under a God-given leader.

		It embodies the patriotic and civic ideals of the period when Moscow was being rebuilt after the fire of 1812 and paying homage to those who had vanquished the "invincible" Napoleon.
		The monument's main theme is the meeting of the citizen of Nizhny Novgorod, Kuzma Minin, and the commander Prince Dmitry Pozharsky, the two leaders of the Russian people's struggle against foreign invaders in 1612.
		Minin's shirt and trousers, for example, make him look like a Russian peasant, which emphasizes even more the monument's main theme, the patriotism of the Russian people.
