This city has nothing to do with Lenin or Putin. It is named after its founder, Vladimir Monomarch and was the capital city of Russia after the Tatar-Mongol conquest and before the rise of Moscow. Dukes of Moscow viewed themselved as successors of Vladimir and the main cathedral of Kremlin is modeled after the main cathedral of Vladimir, which still has the original domes of Sofia Cathedral of Kiev that were captured as a trophy during a feudal war.
