On the Fact that Vladimir's Central Tower and Through Pass Along with its Assumption Cathedral Were Amongst the Small Handful of Structures In Russia that Remained Standing After the Mongol Onslaughts Beginning In 1237

Yeah, I guess that white limestone is harder to burn than wood. Go figure, huh?...............................................................................................P.S. Among the many towns and hamlets that didn't make it include, Ryazan, Kolomna, Moscow, Suzdal, Dmitrov, Pereslavl-Zalessky, Yaroslavl, and Tver. And by, "didn't make it", I of course mean, burnt to the ground and its inhabitants slaughtered. For the record.
