Moscow is the capital city of the Russian Federation.
It was first mentioned in chronicles as a settlement in 1147. It is officially considered that it was founded by Suzdal Prince Yuri Dolgorukiy.
The settlement had been founded before the first chronical record. It was situated in habitable and populated area on a bank of the river that was a trade root. At the end of the 11th century Moscow was a small town with a fortified centre on the Borovitskiy Hill and an artisan and trading quarter. At the turn of the 12th and 13th centuries it was a large city of the Vladimir-Suzdal principality (Vladimir-Suzdal Rus’). Like the majority of Russian towns, Moscow was destroyed and sacked by Mongols under Batu Khan in 1238. The town managed to recuperate from the devastation rather quickly, mainly due to its geographic location near trade roots.
In the first half of the 13th century Moscow became the centre of an independent principality.
Daniel, the son of Alexander Nevski, was the ancestor of the Moscow princes’ dynasty.
Being appointed the Prince of Moscow in 1325 and later the Prince of Vladimir, Ivan Kalita got off the ground for unification of Russian principalities in a state. Under Kalita metropolitan Peter transferred the Russian orthodox metropolitan residence from Vladimir to Moscow. Moscow became the centre of religious authorities and the residence of the Grand Prince.
In the 14th - first half of the 15th century the city territory increased considerably and its image changed. The Kremlin was expanded and enclosed by high walls and oak towers. Later Dmitry Donskoy ordered to build new walls and towers made of white limestone.
In the 15th century, under Prince Ivan III, the consolidation of Russian lands was almost completed: separate principalities were unified in the Russian State and Moscow became the capital city of the great power. Each governor, grand prince, tsar or emperor added something new to the appearance of Moscow.
Since 1708 Moscow was the centre of the respective province and the residence of governor general. When the capital was transferred to St. Petersburg Moscow's cultural and social life continued uninterrupted. Having been the most important city for 400 years, it remained the ‘second capital’ until the beginning of the 20th century. This is where coronations of Russian emperors were held and significant military victories were celebrated. Moscow housed branches of all state institutions.
In early 20th century Moscow looked like a large industrial and commercial city. Factories, railway terminals, multi-storey buildings for banks and other institutions, shopping precincts and department stores were built in Moscow in this period. Along with private residences, numerous multi-storey residential houses were constructed. The city continued its development as an important scientific and cultural centre of the country.
Over its history, it was conquered and burnt down several times, but it rose from the ashes. Nowadays it is one of the largest cities of the world.
Today Moscow is the economic, political and scientific centre of Russia. Its economy is based on an industrial and scientific potential. 
There are many large enterprises of ferrous and nonferrous metallurgy, machinery, metalworking, production of building materials, light industry, food processing, defense industry, etc. The biggest machine and aircraft building plants, car factories, textile manufactures and enterprises of town development are situated in Moscow.
Moscow is the largest transport hub of Russia and Eastern Europe. Eleven railway lines link the capital to all the regions of Russia, as well as to foreign countries. There are three big river ports in Moscow (the Western, Northern and Southern ones). Moscow, being connected to large Russian cities and foreign countries by 13 highways, is the main centre of road transport. Moscow is the main hub of air transport of the country. There are four airports in Moscow (Sheremetievo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo and Bykovo). The Moscow’s underground is the oldest in Russia and the most extended one. In 2004 it has had 165 stations.
