Years: 1489 - 1489
Moscow in 1489 annexes the fort of Khlynov (present Kirov), situated on the west bank of the Vyatka River just west of the Ural Mountains, and founded by Novgorodian entrepreneurs in 1181 as a virtually independent Russian colony, the nucleus of the "Vyatka Lands."
First mentioned as a town in documents from 1374, Khlynov is incorporated into the Grand Duchy of Moscow in 1489 and will become known throughout Russia for its clay statuettes and whistles.
It is also managed by the Khanate of Kazan and known as "Hılın".
