Ivan I Danilovich Kalita (Russian: Иван I Данилович Калита; 1 November 1288 – 31 March 1340 or 1341)[1] was Prince of Moscow from 1325 to at least 1340,[2] and Grand Prince of Vladimir from 1332 until at least 1340.[3] The policy by Öz Beg Khan of allowing the grand prince to collect tribute and taxes from the Russian cities allowed Ivan to lay the foundations for Moscow's future as a regional great power.
