Two Russian Capitals

The capital of Russia is Moscow. Moscow is an old city but it is also a
young city. Although it is more than 800 years old, you’ll see a lot of new, modern
houses in it. The city is situated on seven hills. On one of them is the Kremlin with
its beautiful red walls and famous towers.
The Kremlin is certainly the heart of Moscow. Everything here speaks of
important facts in the life of the country.
Chronicles first mentioned Moscow in 1147. It was a little settlement at the
top of a hill looking over the Moskva River, a settlement founded by Yuri
Dolgorukii, the Russian Prince of Vladimir and Suzdal. If you look at the map
you’ll see that these old Russian towns are in the north. Yuri had many fights with
other Russian princes and soon he became Prince of Kiev as well. So people
named the Prince “Yuri Dolgorukii” meaning that he could reach Kiev far away to
the south from Suzdal and Vladimir. In those times Kiev was the Russ capital.
Moscow founded by Yuri Dolgorukii grew and very soon it became a city
superior to all other cities of Russia. The white stone walls and towers of Kremlin
were built; the city became a strong fortress.
In the 16-th century Moscow was one of the largest cities in Europe. An
English traveler wrote that Moscow was larger than London in those days.

In 1712 the Russian Tsar Peter the Great moved the Russian capital to Saint
Petersburg, a new city founded in 1703 on the banks of the Neva River. The new

capital in the north-west of Russia grew and became very important. But Moscow
remained important too. It was famous for its churches, museums and cultural
centers.
On March 10, 1918, a special train left St.Petersburg for Moscow. The
government of the country moved to the old Russian town and Moscow again
became the capital of Russia.
