Moscow

Moscow is rightly considered one of the oldest cities of Russia.

It was founded by Prince Jury Dolgoruky and it was first mentioned in

written papers in 1147. Thus, at present the city is more than 850 years

old. In 1918 it became the capital of the Russian republic, then in 1923

it became the capital of the Soviet Union and in 1991, at the time of the destruction of the USSR, it became the capital of the Russian Federa-

tion. All this time it has also been the capital of the Moscow region.

Moscow is the largest city of Russia with the population of about 9

million people. The latest figures were issued in 1987.

The total area of Moscow is about 900 square kilometers. Like

many other big cities it is situated on the banks of a river, the Moskva

River.

It is the seat of the federal and regional governments.

The historic center of the city is Red Square and the Kremlin. It is

interesting to note that in the Old Slavic language the word ‘red’ meant

beautiful. The impressive cathedrals of the Kremlin and Red Square

were built during the period between the 15-th and the 17-th centuries.

Twenty towers of the Kremlin wall were constructed at the end of the

17-th century. Foreign statesmen and ordinary people coming to Mos-

cow are usually eager to see all these places with their own eyes.

Moscow authorities are doing their best to make the city very beau-

tiful and comfortable to live in.
