There is hardly any person in the world, who has never heard about Moscow, the capital of Russia.

Moscow had played the most important role in the life of the country till in 1712 St Petersburg was given this honor. Only in 1918 Moscow got back the privilege of being the capital and in 1922-1991 was the main city in the Soviet Union. Then after USSR stopped its existence it turned into the capital of Russia.
