Moscow

One of the world's great cities, Moscow (Russian Moskva) is the capital of Russia Federation.
Moscow is one of the world biggest megapolis.
The boundary of Moscow (since 1960) corresponds to the Moscow Ring Road distanced from 17 to 21 kilometres from a city centre.
Today Moscow is not only the political centre of Russia but also the country's leading city in population, (almost 10 million people) in industrial output, and in cultural, scientific, and educational importance.
Moscow covers an area of about 386 square miles (878,7 square kilometres), its outer limit being roughly delineated by the Moscow Ring Road.
Moscow is located in the middle of the continent, so the temperature is continental, which means hot weather in Summer and cold weather in Winter.
