Moscow is one of the world's great cities. It is the capital of Russia and was until 1991, when the country was dissolved, the capital city of the USSR. Moscow covers an area of about 1,000 square kilometers.
Moscow has a long history. In 1156 Prince Yury Dolgoruky built a wooden fortress on the north bank of the River Moscva. This fortified area, triangular in shape and now surrounded by high walls of pinkish brick, is the centre around which the city has grown and is called the Kremlin, which means "citadel" or "fortress''. Within the Kremlin there are many old buildings including a cathedrals, golden-domed churches, and palaces, some of which are used as government offices and others as museums.
As Moscow spread, new walls were built to protect the people and this caused the city to grow rather in the shape of a spider web, with the main streets fanning out from the Kremlin and the cross streets arranged round it in circles. On the northeast side of the Kremlin is a wide open space usually called Red Square which is used for big celebrations and demonstrations. In the tower above the central gates to the Kremlin is a famous peal of bells set up by an Englishman in 1625. Another famous bell in the Kremlin is the Tsar Kolokol which, at 196 tones is the world's heaviest. At the south end of Red Square is St. Basil's Cathedral, completed in 1560 and one of the finest examples of old Russian architecture. It has nine great domes, all differently shaped.
Moscow contains buildings of several different styles. In the suburbs can be seen wooden houses like those in the Russian countryside. Nearer to the centre there are a number of skyscrapers including the huge Moscow University building. Moscow also has several gigantic hotels, each capable of accommodating well over 5,000 guests. The Central stadium in Moscow seats more than 100,000 people; the Dinamo stadium is another huge sports-ground. Among the famous theatres are the Bolshoi opera and ballet and the Moscow Academic Art Theatre, which was founded by the famous Russian director Stanislavski.
Moscow is the administrative centre of the country, as well as a main centre for science and research. It has also long been an industrial centre. Many factories are on the outskirts of the city and include industrial plants making motor cars, machinery, electrical goods, chemicals, textiles, and footwear. There is also a steel works producing the high-grade steels needed by the engineering industries. Moscow is Russia's chief railway centre and has eleven main lines connecting it to all parts of the country, with nine passenger and eleven goods stations all linked by a circular railway. There is one of the world's famous metro or underground railway in Moscow, the first part of which was built by British engineers. It has spacious and grandly decorated stations. It is considered to be the world's busiest metro, carrying over 6 million passengers every day. Moscow is connected by a canal with the Volga River to the north, and has other canal links so that it can be reached by small seagoing ships from five seas - The Baltic, White, Caspian, Azov, and Black Seas. The city has three port areas for shipping.
The population of Moscow is about 10 000 000, and it makes Moscow the largest city in Russia.
