The 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 can 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.
Moscow was founded by Prince Yuri Dolgoruky in 1147.
In the XVI 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 St. Petersburg, a new city founded in 1703 on the banks of Neva River. The new capital in the north-west of Russia grew and became very important. But Moscow was important too. It was a cultural centre.
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.
