Moscow: the political, economic and cultural heart of Russia
The capital and largest city of the Russian Federation, Moscow is Europe's most populous metropolis, situated on the banks of the Moskva River in the middle of the Eastern European Plain, and with a history of over 870 years. It has been the center of power in Russia since the 12th century and the capital of the country in the 15th century, witnessing the transformation of Tsarist Russia, the Soviet Union and modern Russia. With Red Square as its centerpiece, the city is famous for landmarks such as the Kremlin, St. Vasily's Cathedral and the Gum State Department Store, blending Orthodox culture with Soviet-era architecture. As a transportation hub and economic engine, Moscow is home to the headquarters of many of Russia's largest corporations, and its subway system, known as the "underground palace of art," attracts tourists from around the world every year to explore the fascinating blend of history and modernity.
