Mosca (in russo: Москва́, Moskva /mʌsk'va/), è una città con una popolazione in rapida crescita di 10,4 milioni di abitanti (nel 2005, ciò la rende residenza di quasi 1/10 dei cittadini russi e più popolosa città d'Europa), nonché la capitale della Russia. Sorge sulle sponde del fiume Moscova, ed occupa una superficie di 878,7 chilometri quadrati alle coordinate 55°45′ N 37°37′ E. Si trova nel distretto federale chiamato Russia Centrale (che si tova in realtà nella Russia Occidentale). Fu la capitale dell'ex Unione Sovietica e della Moscovia, la Russia pre-imperiale. Al suo centro si trova il famoso Cremlino, che funge da centro del governo nazionale. Mosca ospita anche la famosa Cattedrale di San Basilio, con le sue eleganti cupole. Il Patriarca di Mosca, funge da capo della chiesa ortodossa russa. La città è stata fondata nell'anno 1147 da Jurij Dolgorukij. Estesa quindi nel 1960 fino ad includere i paesi limitrofi di Babuškin, Kuncevo, Ljublino, Perovo, Tušino e, nel 1986 di Solncevo. È un nodo centrale delle reti
autostradali e
ferroviarie; annovera inoltre due
porti fluviali, tre
aeroporti civili ed un sistema di
metropolitana inaugurato nel
1935. Durante la seconda guerra mondiale la città ha subìto l'assedio delle truppe nazi-fasciste, che riuscirono a spingersi fino al vicino comune di Khimki, a circa 20 Km a nord-ovest del centro di Mosca. Un monumento che raffigura tre enormi cavalli di Frisia è stato posto sul punto più vicino al centro raggiunto dall'avanguardia delle truppe nemiche.

Storia
Panorama di Mosca dall'Hotel Ukraina
Il primo riferimento storico a Mosca è datato 1147 quando era un'oscura città di una piccola provincia con una popolazione ugro-finnica, i Merja. Nel 1156, il principe Jurij Dolgorukij fortificò la citta, cingendola di mura. Dopo il saccheggio del 1237-1238, quando i Mongoli la rasero al suolo uccidendone tutti gli abitanti, Mosca fu ricostruita e divenne la capitale di un principato indipendente. Nel 1300 Mosca fu conquistata da Daniil Aleksandrovič, il figlio di Aleksandr Nevskij e membro della dinastia Rurik. La sua posizione favorevole sulle rive del fiume Moscova contribuì ad una rapida espansione. Mosca fu anche stabile e prospera per diversi anni successivi attraendo di conseguenza un gran numero di immigrati dall'intera Russia. Intorno al 1304 Jurij di Mosca entrò in competizione con Mikhail di Tver per il trono del principato di Vladimir. Con Ivan I Mosca ebbe finalmente la meglio su Tver assumendo il ruolo di capitale del principato, e di unico centro di raccolta delle tasse destinate ai governanti Mongoli. Attraverso il pagamento di un cospicuo tributo, Ivan ottenne un'importante concessione dal Khan. Al contrario di altri principati, Mosca non fu divisa fra i figli del principe, ma passò interamente al maggiore di essi. Se inizialmente il Khan dell'Orda d'Oro tentò di limitare l'influenza di Mosca, in seguito, quando l'ascesa del Granducato di Lituania cominciò a minacciare l'intera Russia, il Khan stesso, per controbilanciare la Lituania, rinforzò Mosca, consentendole di diventare una delle città più potenti in Russia. Nel 1380, il principe Dimitri Donskoj di Mosca condusse un'armata panrussa ad un'importante vittoria sui Mongoli nella Battaglia di Kulikovo. Da quel momento Mosca assunse un ruolo di primo piano nella liberazione della Russia dalla dominazione Mongola. Nel 1480, Ivan III sottrasse definitivamente i Russi al controllo Tataro (i due eserciti si confrontarono sul fiume Ugra) e Mosca divenne la capitale di un impero destinato a racchiudere, oltre all'intera Russia e alla Siberia, molte altre terre. Ivan III sposò poi Sophia Paleologo, nipote dell'ultimo imperatore di Costantinopoli, andando così a rafforzare l'importanza della città. Il cuore della Chiesa ortodossa si spostò a questo punto dall'antica Bisanzio a Mosca. La nuova posizione politica e religiosa che nel frattempo è stata raggiunta, sul piano internazionale, da Mosca portò alla nascita dell'idea che la città fosse la terza Roma (dove Roma e Costantinopoli sono state le prime due). La tirannia dei successivi zar, come Ivan il Terribile, portò alla decadenza dello stato, benché allo stesso tempo l'impero andasse espandendosi. Nel 1571 i Tartari del Canato di Crimea s'impadronirono di Mosca, dandola alle fiamme. Dal 1610 al 1612 Mosca fu occupata da truppe del Regno polacco-lituano, il cui sovrano Sigismondo III tentò di usurpare il trono russo. Nel 1612, gli abitanti di Nižnyj Novgorod e di altre città russe si sollevarono contro gli occupanti polacchi, assediarono il Cremlino e li uccisero. Nel 1613, un'assemblea dell'Impero elesse lo zar Michele Romanov, instaurando la Dinastia Romanov. L'università statale di Mosca Mosca cessò d'essere la capitale della Russia nel 1703, quando Pietro il Grande costruì San Pietroburgo sulla costa del mar Baltico. Quando Napoleone invase il paese nel 1812, i moscoviti evacuarono e incendiarono la città il 14 settembre, mentre le forze di Napoleone si avvicinavano. L'esercito di Napoleone, stremato dalla fame, dal freddo, e dalla mancanza di approvvigionamenti, si ritirò. Nel gennaio del 1905, l'istituzione del governatore della Città, o sindaco, fu introdotta ufficialmente a Mosca, e Aleksandr Adrianov divenne il primo sindaco ufficiale di Mosca (il sindaco attuale è Jurij Lužkov). Dopo il successo della Rivoluzione Russa nel 1917, Lenin, nel timore di possibili invasioni straniere, spostò la capitale da San Pietroburgo di nuovo a Mosca, il 5 marzo 1918. Snodo vitale delle ferrovie e delle linee di rifornimento dell'URSS, Mosca, insieme a Leningrado e a Kiev, venne individuata come uno dei tre obiettivi strategici dell'offensiva tedesca del 1941. Nel Novembre 1941, i tedeschi dell'Heeresgruppe Mitte vengono fermati nei sobborghi della città e successivamente respinti nel corso della Battaglia di Mosca.

Reyes Moscow is one of the oldest and most beautiful Russian cities. The emperors, or tsars, made the city their base of rule until 1712, when the capital was moved to Saint Petersburg. Moscow was restored as Russia's capital in 1918, and it served as the capital of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) from 1922 until 1991. Since then Moscow has been the capital of the Russian Federation. Moscow has a long and dramatic history. The city has been completely destroyed and rebuilt again many times throughout the years. Its most ancient wooden buildings disappeared in fires. Each time the city was resurrected from the ashes, it became more and more beautiful. For every rebuilding, the most talented and famous architects were invited from around the world to restore Moscow. This history of reconstruction Moscow has undergone is part of the reason she has absorbed the many different and diverse styles that visitors experience here. Stalin's epic and monumental buildings neighbor with small two-store nineteenth century town houses, while splendid cathedrals peer out from behind modern skyscrapers. Even in the heart of Moscow, in the Kremlin, old churches compete with the immense Congress Palace for space. Despite the size of the city (about 900 square kilometers) and the scale of many of the buildings and avenues there, the general layout is easily grasped - a series of concentric circles and radial lines, emanating from the Kremlin; the center being compact enough to explore on foot. The Kremlin and its surroundings are a great place to spend time. In the summer the temperature can get high. This surprises many people, as they associate Russia with snow. I arrived in June and was met with fantastic 90F heat. I headed straight for the Kremlin and Red Square, and found this is to be real hangout for young and old alike, with street bars everywhere and people jumping in the fountains to keep cool. The Kremlin deserves a full circumnavigation to appreciate the architectural splendour. This area is a very cool place to chill out! For more information on other attractive places that you can see in Moscow, please check the Sights section. ___________Sights Edit This Entrance to Novospassky Monastery, Moscow Entrance to Novospassky Monastery, Moscow Svetlana Tikhonova The Red Square and the Kremlin are the historic nucleus of Moscow, a magnificent stage for political drama, signifying a great sweep of history that includes Ivan the Terrible, Peter and Catherine the Great, Romanovs dynasty, Stalin and Gorbachev. Here you'll find Lenin's Mausoleum and St Basil's Cathedral, the famous GUM department store, and the Kremlin itself, whose splendid cathedrals and Armory museum head the list of attractions. The Kremlin is Moscow's heart, symbolically, historically and strategically: Red Square lies along its eastern side and the Moscow River is to the south. From here, Moscow spreads out in four distinctive rings of development, each area having its own collection of monasteries, museums and elegant buildings. Most of the city's sights are within the first circle - an area that can easily be covered on foot.
