Prince Vasily Mikhailovich Dolgorukov-Krymsky (Russian: Василий Михайлович Долгоруков-Крымский; 12 July [O.S. 1 July] 1722 – 10 February [O.S. 30 January] 1782) was a Russian statesman, general, and the commander-in-chief of Moscow from 1780 to 1782.[1][2] Already a seasoned veteran of several wars, he was a senior military commander of the Russo-Turkish War of 1768–1774, where his forces occupied the Crimean Khanate, from which he derived his honorary title of "Krymsky" (actually means "of Crimea").
He was the original builder and owner of the House of the Unions and numerous other historic mansions that dot the city of Moscow.
