MOSCOW, the capital of Russia, nowadays, is one of the largest cities in Europe with more than a nine million population.
Moscow is the epicentre of "New Russia" and everything that it represents. Nowhere but here Russia's contrasts are the most apparent,
and it's where ancient monasteries and ultra-modern monoliths stand side by side. This city captures a lot of Russian history, culture and contemporary life.
For most of eight centuries, the Kremlin, at the very heart of Moscow, has been the seat of power for the grand princes, tsars and, most recently, presidents,
as well as an important religious site. The Kremlin and Red Square are definitely the main Moscow sights, symbols of all of Russia.
Moscow has always been known for the richness of its culture. Today, more than ever, visitors and residents as well can enjoy events ranging from the classic
to the progressive ones. Whether a Tchaikovsky opera or a MHAT drama, classical performing arts in Moscow are among the best in the world. The Tretyakov
Gallery and Pushkin Fine Arts Museum house internationally famous collections of Russian and impressionist art.
