Andrey Vasilyevich Bolshoy, nicknamed Goryai (Russian: Андрей Васильевич Большой; 14 August 1446 – 6 November 1493), was the third son of Vasili II of Russia who transformed his capital in Uglich into a major centre of political power and ensured the town's prosperity for two centuries to come. He was called Andrey Bolshoy (Big Andrew) to distinguish him from his younger brother Andrey Menshoy [ru] (Little Andrew).
