Moscow
Moscow is the capital of Russia, its political, economic, commercial and cultural
centre. It was founded 8 centuries ago by Prince Yuri Dolgoruky in 1147. Gradually
the city became more and more powerful. In the 13th century Moscow was the centre
of the struggle of Russian lands for the liberation from the tartar yoke. In the 16th
century under Ivan the Terrible Moscow became the capital of the new united state.
Though Peter the Great moved the capital to St. Petersburg in 1712; Moscow remained
the heart of Russia. That's why it became the main target of Napoleon's attack. After the
October revolution Moscow became the capital again.

in the world. St. Basil's Cathedral was built in the mid-16th century in memory of the
victory over Kazan. One of the well-known Kremlin museums is the Armouty Chamber.
