Moscow City Street

People and pets eagerly emerge from their homes to greet the slowly approaching spring as they shuffle through the city, keeping the remaining chill at bay with frequent activity and a few muffled words to the neighbor. Let the sound of Mother Russia melt the chill of your inner core and warm your eastern eyes toward the glow of the welcomed sunrise. Moscow is the capital and most populous city in Russia with a population of 10.5 million. The city is named after the Moskva River. The first Russian reference to Moscow dates from 1147 when Yuri Dolgorukiy called upon the prince of the Novgorod-Severski to "come to me, brother, to Moscow." Moscow developed into a stable and prosperous principality, known as Grand Duchy of Moscow, for many years and attracted a large number of refugees from across Russia.
